"this is the best it will ever be between Joel and Ellie" 😭

I'm currently mostly blogging about Project Hail Mary. expect some Dead Boy Detectives, Disco Elysium, Our Flag Means Death, Spy x Family and the Mandalorian in the mix. I also love mini zines. he/she/they header by @shane-west

It was nice not having to cover them in blood and soot this time

interview with the vampire, the novel, treats homosexuality in a pretty bog standard way for 70s american media—a grotesquerie too unseemly to be addressed by name, whose practitioners are either helpless but still disgusting victims who rightfully want to die to kill the disease inside of them, or gauche, subhuman predators who reach grisly ends as a result of their perversion. it goes through the homophobic traits noted in chapter three of the celluloid closet like a checklist. and then not that long later the vampire lestat has a completely revised view of homosexuality, treating gayness and gay relationships with a kind of clumsy, eager voyeurism, titillation where before there was only artistry and disgust. something happened between 1976 and 1985 that resulted in anne rice’s fujoshi awakening

was it star trek ii: the wrath of khan (1982)

[thevictrola]

It was likely the birth of her gay son Christopher in 1978.

[helloitsbees]

you’re suggesting that he came out of the womb and then immediately came out as gay

[oldtvandcomics]

No, only after watching Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).

Rocky being big for an eridian is also very charming to me for like. Rocky being seen as the Big Strong Tough Guy all his life on erid meeting Grace who is like awww omg Rocky you’re so cute and small. My cute little guy 🥰. And Rocky is like you know what, yeah. I AM his cute little guy.

It's important to note that Chekhov's Gun was not originally about foreshadowing, but a piece of advice to playwrights about how every element in a play should have narrative relevance. The corollary to Chekhov's Gun is that if a gun mounted on the wall in act 1 is never used at all in the entirety of the play, then it should be omitted from the play entirely.

[im-mender]

also very true

[anarchautistic]

Very funny example of writing advice that is very specific to its medium getting overapplied outside its scope. Can you imagine how awful set design would be if people tried to apply this to movies. 60 minute post credits scene in the Matrix where Neo has to fire every gun that appears in the "lots of guns" scene

here's my drawing for the dbda reverse bang (@deadbangdetectives), which is accompanied by @wordsinhaled 's super amazing fic

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

i had a blast working on this! (despite this being a challenging piece with the background)

and i am so so so happy and excited about the fic for this, like it feels insane that someone wrote an entire story based on my silly drawing and that that someone is @wordsinhaled who has already written so many amazing fics for dbda!! (also many fics that i just personally dig!)

It’s still Wednesday where I’m at (chilling in Toronto for a holiday atm) so have another WiP Wednesday! Today’s WiP is a somber Ryland Grace. I want to play more with composition and lighting, and obviously I had to use the raincoat but put him in space. The parallels between his coat and the yellow space suit are just too delicious
