out with the “fanfiction as a lesser form of original fiction”, in with the “fanfiction as a means of literary commentary and exercise in close reading”; not a three-wheeled bicycle for aspiring writers, but rather a self-indulgent treat for aspiring critics.
ok soooo my autism peaked today. I got bored and traced out some Digital Circus AG doll concepts. And I don't have a drawing iPad so I just used my finger on my phone lmaoooo.
I've been thinking for a while about getting a Corinne Mold TLC and customizing her into Pomni, but then I was thinking about Joss Mold!Ragatha and Jax and it... escalated. I think of the designs my favs ended up being Zooble, Gangle, Jax and Gummigoo, which is wild bc usually I'm a Pomni girl 100% lol.
Anyway. Notes under the cut.
Most of the Big Tops' designs are based on their live-action actors.
Pomni has the Corinne mold. She would have a shoulder-length bob (as seen in her softball outfit) under the hat.
Caine has the Makena mold. His humanoid appearance is based on the general fandom consensus that he would be Kinger and Queenie's son in a human AU (considering Kinger made him), so I based his skinton and hair-type off of the live-action actors for the Checkmate Daughters.
Jax has the Joss mold. Her hairbows are obvs a reference to Ribbit, but also give her "bunny ears." The long hair and off-the-shoulder shirt are also a reference to the infamous Gooseworx tweet where she confirmed Jax as transfem (bc some people couldn't read) while also saying that Pomni and Ribbit should fuck. And the key necklace is not only a ref to her obsession with keys and the trans flag colors, the top is an Abstraction eye.
Ragatha has the Joss mold. Unlike the others whose eye colors I based off either their model or actor, I gave her blue/brown heterochromia to reference her button eye.
Kinger has the Josefina mold. He and Queenie would have embroidered designs at the bottom of their coats, his are his chess piece silhouette and blue butterflies.
Gangle has the Sonali mold. Her hair is based on Zoey Raghavan's PFP in the last episode, and her dress is very Japanese lolita-inspired. Her mask would be reversible with removable tears.
Zooble has the Claudie mold. They have punk patches referencing every episode, and the antenna on their headband could be removable and swapped with the wing on their jacket.
Gummigoo has the Sonali mold. His design is based on Australian cowboys/stockmen and Aboriginal Australians. And, yes, that IS a Pomni necklace.
Queenie has the Addy mold. Her embroidered designs include her silhouette, purple butterflies, and Xs. Some of the spots on her faux fur also form eyes to reference her Abstraction.
Kaufmo has the Classic mold. It took me a while to figure out a human design that translated to AG doll form but I think I like the tight curls. I was gonna add his lil triangle makeup too but I forgor
Ribbit has the Nanea mold. Her jacket references her starry room, and she wears fishnets. Normally I imagine her human form being more punk, but I didn't want her outfit to be too similar to Zooble's, so I went with more business-casual to reference the bowtie, but with the fishnets to ref the rebel persona... and froggy rainboots for fun.
Reject the idea that there is such a thing as high art and low art!!! Read smut! Write horror! Watch low budget shorts! Listen to a local garage band!!!
Modern American Girl seems to fundamentally not understand that parents want their children to have educational toys, and that little kids think historical clothes are fun and fancy, and that these two things in combination are what allowed Pleasent Company to charge upwards of $100 for a single doll at a time when most dolls were still in the $10-$15 range
It’s so funny how like. Spock is queer bc of the subtext, the Otherness inextricable from his character, meanwhile William Shatner was handed the straightest man of all time on paper and fumbled the bag bc he couldn’t stop giving Leonard Nimoy fuck-me eyes and now he lives in a bi Kirk hell of his own devising, forever enduring the conshatquences of his shactions
dr. taylor said 'i wanna know why you travel around with that ditzy guy who calls you admiral' and saw the look on jim's face and that girl was not living in san francisco in the 80s for nothing and so she went 'ohhh' and changed the subject
What's wild is this was LITERALLY EVERY MOVIE OR SHOW HE MADE for like 15 years and then he started doing interviews like "yeah I meant it to be gay!!" And the interviewers are always just like "hmm interesting, tell me more about why you like the smiths"
I just watched this interview about Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, and the interviewer was like, "tell me about your favorite music "
And Jay was like "I like Ben Folds because he made me feel cool for playing piano 😊"
And Matt was like "I like the Smiths because it's so relatable how Morrissey keeps singing about having secret gay feelings for your male best friend."
so della van hise was in a domestic partnership with another female K/S slash fic writer for 40 years. i might die. i feel so seen. maybe things will turn out okay for us
