"I'm so sick of sports movies that follow the conventions that make it a sports movie!" says Ino Bettranyone, the director and producer of an upcoming film about your favorite historical baseball player.

"I mean, what's with those helmets that batters wear? It's so unfashionable. Those have got to go. And those pants are so restrictive. I'm going to show that the protagonist is a rebel and an independent thinker by having them wear cut-off jeans and run to third base instead of going to first. They'll also have waist-length free-flowing hair that they never tie up when the run."

"What? No, of course I didn't read up anything about sports history or the rules of baseball."

(Yes, this is satire about how the makers of period dramas sometime completely dismiss the social constraints and conventions of that era that make period dramas interesting, and you know, true to the time period.)

Twice a year in Hawaii the sun passes directly overhead and objects cast no shadow. It’s a phenomenon called “Lahaina Noon”

You're full of shit, Hawaiians are just able to levitate coconut milk.

I couldn't draw an Occtis without APPARENTLY my hands (which I am frequently catching) also wanting to draw a Julien.

Love this guy, love to see him so frequently haunted. 10/10

(I am NEVER drawing that pauldron pattern again. Because I saved it. Heehee.)

Edit: Now including a pre-darkened version of the image, because not everyone has a super bright screen and I typically have my own screen very dark, so some details might've been lost in the sauce.

The story of these two… And I’m still looking for my go-to rendering method (one that doesn’t take ages and years off of my lifespan 🫠). This partially translucent one is nice for more pastel palette, but for deeper tones I think nothing beats grayscale+gradient map method yet.

i think there'd be alot less discourse around "fanfic vs literature" if more people treated fanfiction as it's own medium with it's own strength and weaknesses, rather than comparing it to traditional literature, because most of what i love about fan-fiction just straight up does not work in original fiction. at all.

[roadhogsbigbelly]

and when i said "original fiction" i don't mean "canon fiction" or "published fiction" i mean "fiction that isn't already part of a long running series" because most fanfiction only works because it's an unofficial continuation of an already existing work, and that's not a bad thing to me, because there's stuff you can do in fanfiction that you couldn't do with new characters, it's why alot of modern tiktok romance sucks, because it assumes people like tropes for the sake of having tropes, and not specifically they like seeing characters they ALREADY LIKE doing them.

grace giving the eridians access to silicon computers and they go insane with GIS. geology and geography interest skyrockets as scientists thrum to create satellites. geological surveys are done to better understand their planet and how astrophage has damaged it, and they use that information to heal.

yeah that’s cool, but also grace gets to watch eridians invent geoguesser in real time. they become extremely competitive about it—his class goes bananas for their daily warmup round. guessing the daily coordinates is the first “argument” grace has ever seen rocky and adrian have. it has eridian society in a chokehold

he’s scared of what’ll happen if the eridians find out about wordle.
