Learning to internalize the message above, but art is in all of our bones. If you feel afraid to create art because it won't be "good enough," it's worth it to explore why you feel that fear. Creating art is one of the basic impulses of people, and if you want to create art, then you absolutely must.

#art #positivity #described images #image description in alt #i'm like 80% sure that's a lynx but i've never seen one irl #i'm going to weld this meme into my brain as i start crochet #maybe i have seen a lynx at the zoo actually. but that's beside the point and i haven't been to a zoo in years (sad!) #the zoos in my state are actually from what i understand VERY high-end and VERY good with their animals #which definitely makes me more willing to support them <3 #i have been informed this is not a lynx btw #IN MY DEFENSE they look similar #thank GD tumblr unlike twitter lets you edit alt text. staff was real af for that (rare compliment i have for staff)

I love being part of the Good Omens fandom because it's the only fandom I'm in that hasn't simmered down yet. You people are 2014 levels of crazy. You're in Neil's inbox calling him "babygirl" and writing 16000-word theory essays that will absolutely come back to haunt you in a Youtube retrospective some day. I love having to apologize to my mutuals for your behavior. It makes me feel young again.

Brian David Gilbert on Sad Boyz

feels fandom relevant.

[ID: A series of screen captures of Brian David Gilbert speaking on a podcast: "The thing that you invest your time in can feel so important to your identity that occasionally you feel, like, you need to close it off from other people in order to keep it safe. And I think that's where a lot of nerd culture, all that gatekeeping stuff, all of the toxicity stems from that thing where it's like, "In high school I didn't have a lot of friends or connect with a lot of people, but I did have this comic book, and now this comic book is super popular, but these people don't like me. That must be because they're not real fans."" End ID]

#feels very appropriate recently #oh you didn't read those comics? or these ones? or any? you're not doing it right #oh you're not including my favorite character? you're not doing it right #your fic/headcanons/meta annoys me? you're not doing it right #like come on these comics are 80 years old #obviously fanon vs canon is a battle that exists in almost every fandom but it's been esp prevalent in this fandom i've noticed #let's be real guys the comics are sometimes really bad and sometimes fanon is really good #anyway i watched this and it felt applicable #so that's my two cents #gatekeeping #fandom #etc

i'm fascinated by a possible deeper meaning of the goncharov meme where years of fatigue and resentment for shitty fandom-bait blockbusters, support for martin scorsese following the attempts of marvel bootlickers to turn him into a bogeyman after he criticized them very accurately one time, the gradual reclamation of "film bro" cinema on this website (an effort led in my anecdotes primarily by trans mascs who get #gender from robert de niro), and years worth of blueprints for discourse and bickering over reducing artistically deep media to ship-bait have coalesced into this exact moment where we are basically desperate to manifest a brand new early-career marty movie into existence like a tulpa

#(even though as some have pointed out; the subject matter of this movie seems more appropriate for his more introspective 80s/90s works) #how did the plot for this made-up movie get agreed upon so quickly. i am so curious about all the fish imagery especially #i am mad that it's not real #goncharov #louposting

Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.

Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.

So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.

In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.

Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.

It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.

Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #how pretentious can I sound when talking about a fictional turtle more at eight #anyway I always loved to think about Leo’s quick line about coping with humor #I don’t care how much people think it doesn’t REALLY matter it’s fun to play around with tbh #also love the idea that Leo’s sense of humor comes from the protags of his fav campy series #(+ from his confident and awesome big sis April) #like idk Leo’s special interests directly paving out how he presents himself both to others and in general is so interesting to me!!! #he is someone who KNOWS people and their quirks so 100% he caught on to that 80’s style of quippy one-liners- #-and associated that with safety and levity #even the villains of these genres who spout off quips tend to be the ones who survive! #Leo desperately fighting to keep the same lighthearted genre as 87 TMNT as the horrors of 2003 and 2012 loom on the horizon #and I think something important to note is that Leo KNOWS things are real #he is WELL AWARE of how dangerous things can get for them #but he copes anyway because it’s easier to deal with everything that way #bro just wants he and his family to be safe tbh

are you FUCKING kidding me. this is the wapeach that got instantly shot down by Miyamoto and banished to the Nintendo vault for practically 20 years????? this is literally the most inoffensive take they could have done on an "evil peach twin" and it was still too much for the old man.

i don't even know what to say at this point lmao. this in a nutshell i think perfectly shows why no matter how much cool shit nintendo does they'll always be held back

#vi posts #some tweet says the real reason for her rejection is bc she's too similar to the character shes inspired by (Doronjo from Yatterman) #but i call bullshit on that they only look vaguely similar. i've seen team rocket homages that take bigger lawsuit risks than this #and like. i really don't mean to slander Miyamoto but let's be real here #it's really not that hard to believe a video game producer in from the 80s who'd only ever made princesses before #simply didn't want an antagonistic female character in his game

It's the camera movements, the close shots, and composition that make it look like a love montage from a John Hughes movie, and the angles that are fitting for an 80s ballad in the background

Also, I love that the close ups don't start until Carmy lays eyes on Sydney.
