December 24, 2024 - look, I'm sure there is a reason.

There is no reason. At least no single major one. It's probably just the end of year thing.

Supernatural has recently been trending on and off following various events announced through the destiel meme, which in addition to general posting has likely catapulted the tag to the second trending spot today.

This is our life now.

Underrated red flag for the bat boys is how they canonically do not have hobbies. Men should not be alone with their thoughts.

Wrong!

Rhysand occasionally sciences (allegedly) and has sex

Azriel broods and goes clubbing

Cassian bullies his mate and has sex!

gwandas

Oh okay that's my bad. I was under the impression sex and clubbing weren't valid hobbies because Nesta went to jail for that 💔

kataraavatara

those are BOY hobbies only. acceptable girl hobbies include painting, gardening, having periods and going shopping. and also being used as a tool to benefit the ic whenever it’s convenient for them.

You know what I think its grossly under-rated in fandom? Second loves.

What it's like to love and lose and then love again. To suffer through either the death of a loved one or the death of a love you used to share. To know that loss, to know that hurt, and to still make yourself vulnerable to someone again. To love scared, to love wounded, to love anyway.

exuberantocean

By under rated in fandom I mean so often past loves are either erased completely or downplayed like "oh yeah they weren't really in love.". I think it flattens the character. Humans are capable of so much love. Each relationship is different and you can learn from each one! And yes, there's something brave in learning to love again, something incredible romantic, why pass it by?

I think about this story two times a week:

sharkodactyl

the briarwoods are like if the crypt scene of romeo and juliet went on forever and ever and ever and ever

sharkodactyl

#delilah briarwood is like if juliet took the sleeping potion and then woke up and saw romeo's corpse #and just sat there over romeo's corpse waiting for him to get back up #as the crypt slowly eroded and was eventually torn down #and stores were built there and then homes and people lived in those homes #and loved in those homes and had children #and juliet was still sitting there waiting for romeo to get back up #and the houses were torn down and freeways were built there instead #and she's still sitting there. underneath the overpass. #she hasn't moved. she's just watching him. #waiting for his chest to start rising and falling again #for him to open his eyes and smile and tell her it was all a joke #and then they can go home. #and he will. and they will. if she just waits for long enough.

hey quick question why are all adult cartoons like that

ulibeanzz

like why is it that adult cartoons could build upon this beautiful format for storytelling used in children’s cartoons to deliver more complex, powerful narratives and include themes with more depth and comedy that adults can relate to, but instead it means “hey here’s an array of every nasty vile bigoted thing u can think of drawn in the most tedious ugly obnoxious art style” like why did we go so wrong..

ulibeanzz

now everyones recommending me nasty ugly adult cartoons

bogleech

In the years since this post originally went around there is now Scavengers Reign, one of the first big budget, stunningly beautiful adult animated series the western industry has ever made and it is not a comedy. It really took this long.

Crows are smart as fuck I don’t even begin to doubt the veracity of these stories

aechlys

A crow perched on a shrine boarder bowed back to me once while I was living in Japan. I was in laughing hysterics and a bit freaked out all the rest of the way home. Crows are fantastic and terrifying.

AI really has made people forget sometimes people just do whacky art like that

cookietastic

Putting $10 on that if this came out today people would call it AI

cookietastic

Where’s that Batman comic panel where the artist put bathroom is really fucked up like the tub was infront of the door and people were like this is AI and…the comic came out before AI art was even a thing 😭

cookietastic

found it lmao came out 2016

cookietastic

I like the plunger infront of the door( that’s block by the tub)

stripedroseandsketchpads

The funniest thing about this is that many, many mainstream comics have separate people do pencils, inks, and colors. And then there are proofs when ppl add the words.

As many as four people may have worked on these things and just. Gone with it.

prokopetz

That separation of roles is actually the source of a lot of errors of this sort, not something that could have potentially prevented them; the penciller's composition is ambiguous, the inker wildly misunderstands what the penciller is going for, the colourist compounds the inker's errors by slapping down the first colours that come to mind, nobody involved has time to communicate with anybody else because the deadlines are unreasonably tight, and they're all so underpaid and overworked that nobody gives a shit anyway, and before you know it, what was probably intended to be a panelled wall, a towel rack, and a mildly interesting pattern on the linoleum becomes a door behind the bathtub, a levitating shower curtain rod, and a rug that extends under the toilet.

suck, and i cannot stress this enough, my cock to the fucking base

m0thmancore

oh no! i dropped this screenshot that explains how to bypass this with a free adblocker! you shouldn’t reblog this or anything; it’d be terrible if people used this advice to watch ad-free youtube!!
