#or how in big time halloween

[s-insomnia]

going on a big time rush nostalgia rewatch and i find it so fascinating how they handled addressing actual issues (homesickness, psychosomatic illness, fear of rejection, emotional repression)

like multiple times a character will plainly just. state the problem a character's having (ex: when bob tells logan that logan's relationships never work because he's afraid of rejection; when the therapist in that one ep just straight up says james' tanning spray addiction is because he feels estranged because of the pressures of his career; or when logan says that james' sickness due to him losing "swagger" was psychosomatic), just to have the other character respond by saying "what lol?"

it's so... interesting. because the writers clearly realized their core audience (kids) probably wouldn't understand the point when it's put in more "adult" terms (like kids aren't going to know what the hell "psychosomatic" means, or truly understand what fear of rejection in romantic relationships is), shown by how the point would be re-addressed sometime else in episode in much simpler terms. yet they still did it?

i mean, i don't dislike it. as an almost adult, it gives me a much greater appreciation of the show that i didn't have when i watched the show when i was 8. it's just... something i've really noticed.

#i could write a whole essay on how kids tv shows tackle 'real life problems' #like when in wizards of waverly place #harper says alex fell in love w the version of dean she saw and dated in her dreams #with the obv irl connection being how people can fall in love with the idealized versions of their partners #or how in big time halloween #kendall being a werewolf and trying to hide it from jo bc he's afraid jo won't like him anymore #is possibly an allegory for how nt people feel they have to mask their behaviors to fit in #or or or how in lab rats #spike is literally just a bad attempt at dissociative identity disorder #or maybe im giving the writers wayyyy too much credit #who knows #s-in.ramble #s-in.txt #what did i just write

some (extremely) quick doodles to celebrate the glorious return of glorious masquerade! I haven't had a chance to do much personal drawing lately, but I didn't want to let it go by without doing something!

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #glorious masquerade #every time they do a rerun event they should make everyone's hats bigger #i feel that this should be true of every game #i think eng might be getting it this year? if so someone PLEASE tell me if they keep the 'be cool' line #the only localization that matters to me #meanwhile aside from foxman and catboy our halloween event this year is shrouded in mystery #i know they want to do a big fancy announcement and i am looking forward to it! #but it is pretty hilarious to look at the schedule and see basically just 'halloween event 2023 - wait for the abema' #look twst i just want to know if i need to save my keys or if i can waste them all in another bid at masquerade malleus #how pretty are the cards going to be. i need to know.

#aron #now. i was going to write some tags about how aron is cute and it's probably one of my favorite steel-types. but this is not a very #shall we say. Flattering Angle. this is definitely One of the angles of all time. for aron #they look like a skeleton. but with eyes. like a scary halloween skeleton. does that make sense. i wouldn't be able to tell this is aron #if you showed this to me and i just had to guess what it was. i have no idea #so. formal thank-you to aron for existing. big fan

“who taught him how to drive micheal myers?”

- my mom watching Lisa Frankenstein with me on monday

#true story #lisa frankenstein #my mom infamously hates how in the original halloween #when micheal breaks out of the asylum #he some how knows how to drive and is good at it #like she complains about it almost every time someone brings the movie up #so seeing the creature drive the car to go get lisa #was NOTTT IT FOR HER #she still loved the movie anyway #she cried over the creature having suspenders on in the finale scene too #cuz she’s a really big robin williams fan and found it so week zelda tributed her father in such a sweet way

Trying out comics for the first time, so I figured I'd christen the medium by drawing a ROTTMNT comic feat. me and a friend of mine's (@nuggdoesart) OC's and a small snipped of their backstory.

For the illimination of any doubt, that red eared slider is their OC Titan (from their double yoke au) and the blue dragon is Wan, who's been pretty thoroughly boned by every crime boss they've ever had the displeasure of working for.

DW they both become friends... ish.... it's complicated.

Wan Ref here!

#ROTTMNT #rottmnt oc #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt big mama #rottmnt au #rottmnt double yoke au #trying to embrace the tism by letting myself be unapologetically cringe so we'll see how this goes #this one's for you Nugg #oc art #ocs #does this count as a halloween post even if it's 4 days late and fanart? #i mean there's a spider #rottmnt constantly rideing that line between kid friendly and hella dark without crossing over and i have no idea how they do it #first time doing a comic lol #trying out clip studio comic function #save rise of the tmnt #save rottmnt

I didn’t have time to draw something for Halloween, so here’s this old drawing I did a while ago of Meta Knight as Captain Picard/Locutus of Borg from Star Trek: The Next Generation that I feel somewhat fits the Halloween theme. I call him Locutus of Borb.

#Kirby #Kirby fanart #my art #Meta Knight #I don’t think this looks very good this was one of my first Kirby drawings and I was still figuring out how to draw everyone #I’ll probably redraw this eventually but still wanted to share this since I didn’t have time to draw anything for Halloween #aside from being a Kirby fan I’m also a big fan of Star Trek I’ve seen all the shows and movies #and I see a lot of parallels between Star Trek and Kirby #literally the whole plot of Planet Robobot is just the Borg storyline in Star Trek lol #for Kirby fans who don’t follow Star Trek the Borg are a collective of cyborgs that can essentially mechanize other species #they appear as recurring antagonists and attempt to assimilate other species into their collective against their will #and once they’ve assimilated a person they can influence that person to do their bidding #in The Next Generation they assimilate Captain Picard and turn him into Locutus of Borg so they can use him to try and assimilate Earth #it reminded me a lot of what Susie did to Meta Knight in Planet Robobot so that’s where the idea for this drawing came from #I’ll have to draw more Star Trek and Kirby crossover stuff there’s a lot I can work with for crossovers lol #like Star Trek straight up has a mirror universe full of evil versions of the characters that’s literally just Amazing Mirror #and the episode of the anime where Dedede gets the Scarfies as pets is basically just the Tribble episode from Star Trek #anyways happy Halloween please enjoy Locutus of Borb

Trick or treat!!

TRICK. have this perfectly seamless loop of nurse robot type t from the video okusuri nonde neyou

#asks #i had to fucking compress it by 50% it's too big 😭😭 #yes me and my sister made this ourselves imagine how painful this was #sorry i keep all the treats for myself this halloween 😁 time to send bullshit

[theminecraftbee]

me, with exactly ten days before nano, a thing I have a project I know I want to do for: okay but what if I wrote this completely different thing. I have time for that before frantic writing month right

#IF I GET POSSESSED AGAIN MAYBE ILL SEE IF I GET WORDS ON PAPER #no hints as to what this is other than I think I’ve mentioned it like once before #…also no guarantees this will happen #this would also probably mean no Halloween horror fic because I /definitely/ won’t have time for that #if I choose to write this. #however I think you all wouldn’t argue with me writing this one #once again. IF I write it. big it #it’s just. recent events just made me realize EXACTLY how I’d do this and… #anyway it’s nearly two am we’ll see it in more reasonable about this after getting sleep

tobacco smoker!Corey Cunningham HCs

I've made a couple posts about this already but I headcanon Corey as a cigarette smoker and here's what kind of smoker I think he is!

heavily inspired by input from @nachtmahr666

also tagging @rebel-blue, @wolvesandvampires @lastgirl0nearth

Warnings: smoking obviously, self destruction and suicidal ideation (points 4 and 5)

Corey starts smoking after the accident with Jeremy. When he's in jail waiting for his bail to be set, someone offers him a cig. He's apprehensive but his nerves are so shot, he'll accept any help he can get to be even just a little calmer. After his first drag he coughs so hard he almost throws up. But he figures it out and is shocked it does actually make him feel a little better.

Now he smokes alone in his room while Joan and Ronald are at work, or late at night after they go to sleep. His mom smokes like a chimney and he sneaks a cigarette out of her pack once in a while. He hides it until he has some alone time and then he smokes it hanging halfway out the window so the smoke doesn't linger in his room. He always flushes the butt down the toilet, washes his hands extremely well, and uses mouthwash after too, to make sure he's not leaving evidence.

He tries hard to keep it just for when he really can't handle things, he knows that it's addictive and if he let himself, he'd smoke as much as Joan does, and if she ever noticed even the one a month he steals, he'd never hear the end of it. Denying himself, almost like edging, until he has a day bad enough that he gives in. Then, heart racing, he waits for Joan to leave that little box unattended, so he can slide one out and tuck it in his pocket. He walks around with it in there, getting a kick out of his rebellion that makes him feel better even before he lights up.

When he starts working at the garage, everyone who works there smokes, and he knows Ronald won't snitch if he takes a smoke break at work, since he'll get in just as much trouble with Joan as Corey will. So it's their secret together now, one of the only ways they bond as step-father and step-son.

Corey hears someone call Marlboro Reds "cowboy killers," and he likes the way that sounds, so he switches to smoking those. As a little kid cowboys had kinda been his thing, and he still holds cowboys up as the ideal men in ways he doesn't even realize. He can't live like a cowboy, but maybe he can die like one.

Dying is definitely a part of the smoking for him. It's (novelization) canon that he thinks about dying and is mildly suicidal but scared to act on his feelings. He hangs over the railing of the stairs in the abandoned Allen house and wants to fall like Jeremy did but he can't make himself let go. Lighting up is easy, tho. Knowing every cigarette makes his life shorter is comforting to him. He's not interested in immortality.

Corey religiously flips a lucky cigarette. Upper left corner of the box. First thing he does with every new pack, he takes one out and flips it around, putting it back in filter side down. It's almost always the last one he smokes, but on days when the residents of Haddonfield are really on one, when Willy the Kid will not shut the fuck up about the cult of Thorn, he smokes his lucky early. He does not flip a new one until the next pack.

The first time Corey feels affinity for fire is the first time he strikes a lighter. Way before he ever smoked, way before the accident, he found a lighter in the crack in his seat on the bus. He quietly put it in his backpack and when he got home he sat behind his house burning blades of grass and little pieces of paper. Keeping the lighter lit for so long the spark wheel got too hot to touch. He burned his thumb on it and spent a week trying to keep his hands palm down around Joan so she wouldn't notice the wound and flip her shit.

When he starts doing yard work for people in Haddonfield, he's stoked raking the leaves or collecting branches after a tornado because it means he gets to light a fire. He loves nursing the flames from a tiny smolder to a huge inferno, watching them devour the yard waste, standing too close to the heat until his face and hands look sunburned and he has to step away.

When he starts working at the garage he realizes the welding tasks are his favorites because he gets to use giant torches. Every time he goes through the steps to turn the torch on, turning all the nozzles open and using the striker, it's a thrill. It never gets old having the sparks rain down on him. In the novelization it says he thinks about turning the torch on other things in his life, and the thought doesn't have any specifics but it brings him comfort. He wants to burn it all down even before he meets Allyson.

After he meets Michael, he smokes openly in front of Joan, her freak outs have no power over him anymore. He tears the filters off. He's not careful about making sure the cherry's all the way out before he flicks his butts anymore, let it catch a piece of trash and start a wildfire. Everyone would be better off if it did.

He tells himself if Terry Tramer comes around while he's got a lit cigarette, he'll put it out right between that prick's eyes. Let him walk around with a permanent mark staining his reputation just like Corey does. Then the stars all align when he knocks Terry out and the torch is right there. He can do so much better than just a little cigarette burn now.

#corey cunningham #halloween ends #halloween ends spoilers #mine #i KNOW i'm romanticizing smoking big time but please don't smoke y'all lol #also i've seen a lot of people say they see him as a sci-fi lover and i haven't known how i felt about that until now #but when i wrote the cowboy thing i was like oh wait a second #i think he was a cowboy kid and a scifi teenager because #cowboys > star wars > sci-fi #i really don't feel like Joan was very permissive with the media he was allowed to consume but i can see her giving him star wars

I love how OLM wrote Allister in the Pokemon Anime because he’s introduced as Ooooo Spooky ghost kid he rides the Ghost Train he doesn’t speak or show his face he calls Ash and Goh Mortals implying he is not he vanished suddenly oooooO so scary But then the very next episode we spend a whole day with him and it becomes very quickly apparent he’s just 8 years old and likes scaring people.

#Pokemon #Pokeani #Allister #When you're the 8 year old quiet type of Autistic you get called weird and odd a lot #and you eventually end up taking that as part of your personality like Yeah I AM weird! Because I'm a demon! #Or smth like that #It's part of being between the ages of 8 and 12 #The anime really went #~Ooooo the ghost train is only for Kids Like Him ooooO~ #Ah yes. The Autism only train. #That explains how Goh got on. #~Ooooo He lives in an abandoned Gym oooooO~ #What 8 year old who's convinced they're some sort of super natural entity stuck in a mortal form DIDN'T hang out in abandoned buildings #Pokemas showed this 'Loves to scare people' side of him as well during the Halloween event this year #I'm a big fan of Allister just a quiet Autistic kid who's special interest is scary stories and loves being seen as creepy and weird #Because honestly same kid I STRIVED to be off putting in an uncanny valley way when I was like 11 I get you #I love it I love it a lot I am having a good time

[hgduo]

Honestly, knowing this event is (presumably) ending on my birthday is already the best gift I could ever get

#negative #from a viewer perspective it’s been a mixed bag #the lines between rp abd cc’s just goofing around feel really weird a lot of the time tho #which is more a me issue ig- idk- I still don’t know how I feel about this all and conflicts and stuff- I’ll have to wait and see #just rly wish it didn’t happen in the middle of so many big personal arcs #the streams have mostly been fun- cuz I the streamers are making it fun #from a fandom perspective it’s been hell and I want to go back to how things were before this badly- #not even in a ‘annoying fans’ way but a ‘wow everyone seems upset all the time’ way #anyone remember Halloween? Halloween was fun…. #im just tired and nervous that this is gonna be a Doomsday level event where everything’s gonna be miserable for awhile fandom wise #but like……. I am The Worrier so- lol- #idk……. might try to force myself to take a break tomorrow- just not feeling it rn #can’t even like indulge in hyperfixes or pre-purgatory lore stuff cuz my brain feels weird/bad about it #( not anyone’s fault- my brain is just like that lol ) #idk……….. maybe I’ll feel better after I get a full nights rest after tomorrow #vent #at least the fanart is great

Telltale Batman was right. Catwoman and Two-Face is an incredibly underutilized dynamic. In this essay I

#the movie version of Long Halloween where they’re like on the same side as Harvey and her and not on opposite sides as Two-Face and her and #they don’t know each other but keep working together and are so awkward like weird friendly acquaintances who know how weird it is #the time she keeps him from being shot and then gets knocked out and he catches her and you see Harvey thinking ‘she’s a criminal and I #could take off the mask and see her identity. …but she just saved my life. I can’t. that would be rude.’ and doesn’t ?? 100/10 #I just think they’re funny. two-face would have like 0 default opinion on her which is so rare for him but she likes Two-Face pretty well & #that’s such a dynamic. ‘Oh it’s Harvey : ) that’s fun.’ on ‘ #‘…. Catwoman’s still here? oh. right.’ incredible make them work together. someone who thinks the other is kind of neat tag-teaming with #someone who will forget they exist once they look away like they have no object permanence is so funny #he’s always either Big Fan or Big Mad put him with someone he has 0 emotions about
