BBC Merlin is insane as a show. Its an adaptation of Arthurian mythos. It's inspired by CW's Smallville (this is 100% real look it up). it stars 4 unknown 20 somethings and British acting legends. It's aimed at kids and families. its a tragedy. Its campy as hell. It will make you cry. It asks you, like Merlin, to believe in the Golden age of Camelot. It never shows you that Golden age. Everyone in the show is the most beautiful person you'll ever see. people will clown on the CGI. Its one of the most homerotic shows of the 2000's. Its an on purpose allegory for queerphobia, but those allegorious queer characters are largely villains. If you watched it when you were 12 you will never quite be able to let it go. This is a curse. This is an experience you wouldn't give up for the world.

got slapped in the face with this idea, I have many thoughts

[animagician]

[solradguy]

Going to the library tomorrow to find out if I'm allowed to print hypothetical boobs for the GG copybook I wanna do

[solradguy]

Libraries don't fuck around when it comes to copyright law

Hhhate it when people on my side of an argument are making bad points. You’re literally right why are you being stupid about it

A proposed rewrite of the Art of Ascension for the forthcoming revision 0.7.0 of Eat God. It's been remarked in playtesting that this Art is insufficiently bullshit compared to some of the others; I've tried several different approaches to fixing that, but I think this one hits the right Looney Tunes bullshit factor.

Practiced with caution outdoors indeed. I'm imagining someone who inadvertently makes themselves fall into the sky struggling to figure out how to get back to the ground gently whilst only able to control their acceleration.

[prokopetz]

The real way out is probably just lowering the strength of gravity enough that your belly-down terminal velocity won't kill you, but I like the idea of trying to find a sweet spot where slowing your descent by flapping your arms becomes a viable solution.

[clubconsent]

. . . ah, okay. The phrasing does imply that I need to continue touching the things. For a second I thought you could poke someone and send them rocketing off the planet.

SILKSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONGGGG

The wildest thing about Ben 10 is that it took until 2005 for someone to have the idea "what if a kid could turn into a bunch of aliens" like this isn't obviously the coolest and most marketable premise for anything ever. Each design is a new toy. A new powerset. Come on.

But to prove that it wasn't a fluke, they continued to have the best ideas for every aspect of it. How does he transform? A cool watch you can also sell as a toy. That watch's name? Omnitrix. Say it. It's so satisfying. How many aliens? Ten. Nice round number. The kid's name? Ben. The show's name? Ben Ten. His full name is Benjamin Tennyson, a normal, plausible name, but he also turns into 10 aliens.

Bigger brands dream about this synergy. Better writers would kill for this coherence. So holistic. So intuitive. The identity alone!!! The retro alien sound motif? Chilling. The green? Any other color would be wrong. The kirby krackle pattern? It seems so obvious in retrospect. The roadtrip format? Genius. Lesser writers would've done the spider-man high school thing. His arch nemesis being Cthulhu darth vader? Inspired, iconic, intimidating!

The execution has its highs and lows, but the idea??? Game changing. So self-evident that it seems inevitable. If Ben 10 didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent him.

Bad kids get icecream! ( I missed them so this was fun to make!)

watching C2 after C3 is so weird lol

ohhh, so that's why they called him the dirt wizard.

At the request of OP, and Ms. Aabria I’m very sorry if you’ve already been pinged @quiddie

[quiddie]

NO BUT FOR REAL THOUGH It's very funny to look at how things came around full circle. I was at the S1 premiere w/ the CR and WBN gang and obviously went cukoobananas when Mel appeared on-screen, so when we were prepping for Calamity she was one of several aesthetic touchpoints for Laerryn's art! Now 3 years later, my girl gets a full mage-over - complete with LCS's gold forehead leyline and eyes? AND HER GO-TO MOVE IS SHIELDING? She's an abjuration wizard! Anyway, thank you kindly for posting this here so I can gush! I've been yelling in my house about her for DAYS. Also, if anyone at Riot sees this - IF YOU DO SPIN OFF MEL'S NOXUS STORY YOU ARE LEGALLY REQUIRED TO HIT ME UP. DEEPLY COMPETENT AND MORALLY COMPLEX BLACK FEMME MAGES ARE MY EXACT DEAL. LET ME IN THAT ROOM.

[hunter-hhhh]

i've seen firsthand how manipulative dream is to people i know personally, so watching people call him out for his lies publicly in real time is so satisfying🫶genuinely one of the worst people on the internet and as tommy properly said, an actual movie villain. Have a great week yall

[hunter-hhhh]

also i can confirm from working for him, yes tommy does pay his editors VERY well lol. that boy does not play about editing and if you've ever seen a video of his before it's apparent.

[animagician]

hey man i don't usually post about drama but the one thing i can confirm is that tommy doesn't treat us like a "sweatshop" lmao

we have always been paid fairly and there are enough of us that even at the height of us all being busy editing for him during the nyc vlogs, we had as much time as we wanted to recuperate (because we got to choose when we would be put in to edit a video)

saying that he would have stans edit videos for free is crazy as well. idk if what dream is saying happened before my time, but as far as i'm aware tommy has always paid his editors very fairly, and my personal experience is that editing for tommy is the only time that i was "paid minimum wage" for editing - because everything else i edited literally didn't make enough money to do that.

was suddenly moved to draw a toony sort of character design .. but this is a bit too close to 2013 tumblr sexyman for my own comfort

[fleshdyke]

always remember gay men are the reason we dont have to pay for public bathrooms in canada

[the-text-party]

WAIT HUH??? IM CANADIAN????? WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARS ABOUT THIS UNTIL NOW??????

[fleshdyke]

two gay men got arrested for fucking in a public bathroom but they argued since you had to pay for it it was a hotel and it was fine. their defence worked and we dont have to pay for bathrooms anymore

[hieronymus-botch]

Ok guys I know we want to celebrate victories in queer history but

1. Googling "Canada gay sex pay toilets" just brings up a bunch of reblogs of this post

2. There does not seem to have been any sort of norm of public toilets in Canada charging money to use in the 20th century

3. I am neither Canadian nor a lawyer but I find it extremely hard to believe that there is any jurisdiction on earth where charging money to use a public toilet makes it legally constitute a hotel room and therefore OK to have sex in.

[fleshdyke]

thats because i lied about this
