If anything I hope this continues the tradition of big Hollywood actors becoming weirdly invested in Sonic characters.

#Ben's enthusiasm for playing Sonic. To be point that he volunteered to voice him in the pitch for free (not expecting to be cast afterwards) #Jim Carrey's funny fascination with Eggman #Idris Elba with Knuckles #Keanu got so invested in his minor character from Toy Story 4 #So I'm excited to see how much he gets into the role #sonic movie #sonic 3 #sonic movie 3 #keanu reeves

All right so I haven't been active in the Julie and the Phantoms fandom in a long time, and although I know there are definitely still people creating and reblogging in the fandom it tends to be a much smaller handful of people than it used to, which for me felt disheartening and was part of why I've backed off from it. I'd love to see new stuff more regularly and start recirculating older things just to remind myself and anyone else who needs it how much I love this silly little show.

All this to say, I am putting out feelers to see if anyone is interested in a blog that runs consistent, casual event-type things for the fandom to try and revitalize interest in jatp fanworks, like featured weeks for individual characters here, fic rec events, etc. I'm toying with ideas to inspire people to pick up their wips, spark new stories, and highlight older content that didn’t get much attention or would just be nice to see again. I’d like to create a community space to liven the fandom back up for people who miss the show or got into the fandom after the hype died down. Does that seem interesting to anyone?

#julie and the phantoms #jatp #I'm filled with both hubris and resolve and I feel like. with other people modding the blog as well. this would be doable #i already have a LOT of ideas about wip events to get stories written that have been sitting untouched i know i'm not the only one w/h thos #so i guess if that sounds good to you interact with this in some way? and if you're interested in being involved/have ideas #please share! if it's just me on a reblog spree it won't work but if we all pitch in to talk to each other #(and i know. if you know me you know i'm not always great at that. but having a Format for it makes me good at it so)

here are all the recs I posted for femslash february 2024...! each individual rec post can be found in my femslash feb recs tag. I actually thought I wasn't going to be able to do this because work got super chaotic, but in the end I couldn't bear to skip out on a leap year. that's a whole extra day for yuri.

last year I focused on official releases, so this year I wanted to focus on series that aren't technically officially available (plus a french-japanese film). fan translations are always a dicey for artists/translators/publishers/etc because obviously they need to get paid... but yuri's already such an overlooked genre that—in an official capacity—we end up with a couple drops from what's already a pretty small pool. I read hana to hoshi about a decade ago, and I keep submitting it to the seven seas survey for licensure! and yet!! no dice. and even when there are official releases, sometimes they just... disappear!? wish you were gone was licensed and then taken down, so for a while the only way to read it (if you missed out on buying it) was the fan translation. I think it's important to support artists and official releases, and also, to appreciate the thankless endeavor(/crime) of scanlation.

hope yall find something you like!

#femslash february #femslash feb recs #ff recs #recs #rambled a lot for this one lol #but like. yeah. honey & honey is imo a pretty culturally significant work #but I can't see any publishers picking it up for licensure #maybe for a recent autobio manga but certainly not one from 20 years ago #and from a marketing standpoint. it's 'hard' to push yuri as a genre. #bl has an obvious and profitable demographic (women) #m/f has an obvious and profitable demographic (women) #but--if you make a distinction between yuri and H (I do)--yuri doesn't really have an obvious and profitable demographic #so it's a lot harder to pitch yuri... which means it's a lot harder to even introduce yuri to a broader audience... #and thus the cycle continues... #plus there's the whole systemic misogyny embeded into a patriarchal society which devalues stories centered around women etc #anyway the POINT is. commit to yuri duty. be a yuri warrior. write femslash. hype femslash.

The moment Aran sees Tao for the first time. A small snippet from Suzie Samin and my story Fear of Falling

#comic page #aran and tao #fear of falling #comic art #original art #original story #nothing is set yet but were working hard to make things happen #and this is a nice page from our pitch package that I still really like

He skulks in the shadows, relentless and wild

in his search for a tender, delectable child.

With his steely sharp claws and his slavering jaws

oh he's waiting . . . just waiting . . . to get you.

#my art #rotg #jack frost #rise of the guardians #pitch black #I always liked the dark and winter combined au #but like what if Jack is Pitch’s son….but not really #by ‘son’ he means a winter spirit he plucked and corrupted and gave him amnesia and filled his gaps of memories with lies #just an evil father and sorta-but not really-evil son story #the boogeydad au #but also make it hijack #I’ll draw it later

I hope the next EXU's based in Darktow.

#critical role #exandria unlimited #exu #I've been on a bit of a pirate kick okay #Also I find it funny how the sales pitch of exu is new stories in exandria told by different dms #and people are going 'keep bringing back this specific party!'

I think the most annoying part about all of this watcher shit is that if they had just originally said they'd be releasing content earlier and ad-free on their own website, none of this would've happened. Like sure maybe people would be a little bit upset/disappointed they couldn't afford to see things earlier, but at the very least they wouldn't have completely obliterated their reputation and ostracized their fan base. They just went about this in such a shitty and demeaning way and I'm glad they apologized and backpedaled, but I sincerely don't know how they come back from this, especially after it took them three days to respond. I don't know how their audience will ever be able to trust them again

#im really glad they listened amd apologized and didn't double down but holy shit guys #you employee 25 people but clearly none of them are in pr because my god i dont even know how this idea made it past a pitch #you guys are nowhere near the level where this could even begin to be a good idea #and tbh the apology feels weird and insincere and so fucking scripted #it just never needed to be this way #and i dont think fans that were once so loyal are going go ever trust you guys again #i mean fuck ive been a fairly casual fan since the buzzfeed days and even i feel betrayed #i cant imagine how people who spent money on merch and tours and patreon or made fan art or submitted stories feel #it's just so disappointing #anyway good luck i guess #watcher

Imma pitch a Story Idea:

Natsu and Lucy encounter a nice farm boy on a mission and no matter what Natsu does, it seems like Lucy is paying more attention to this new guy than him. So, Natsu starts going to extreme lengths to try and regain Lucy's affections attention.

All the while, Natsu might need to come to terms with his own feelings for Lucy.

Gatecrashers interview with Juni Ba about The Boy Wonder!

there’s a bit more insight into the storytelling aspect, and most notably, Talia’s character!

tbh much respect to the interviewer, Zero, for asking the biggest question about this series:

really encourage taking a read if you want a bit of Ba’s creation process or more story teasers!

#rambling #they start off with a fun question about what’s yours and this version of Damian’s favorite sandwiches #and reveals a bit more just how supernatural the setting is lol #spoiler? but a teamup with Talia from her perspective in one of the issues is the biggest tease in this I NEED TO READ ALREADY #also the fact Ba was already making this pitch BEFORE he was put on the Truth and Justice story is kinda a shocker to me lol
