Rooting for Hax in these semifinals was just 90% being given new hope bit by bit and then having it ripped away at the last possible second
I need Doogile to win this. I need Doogile to win this so bad
The Inanimate Insanity finale is making the part of my heart that’s still in middle school weep for joy
The more I think about it the weirder it gets; 'it' being the fact that I've literally been characterizing Cody 99% close-to-correctly this entire goddamn time.
Like, okay. I take characterization seriously. I love character analysis, and before I write literally anything about any Paranatural character I like to take my time to work through their character and just. Turn them around in my head. I even do it for characters like Violet, who I know like the back of my own hand. But despite this I am not immune to Fanon Brain, and it's just a fact that the more time you spend with a character in your own head and not in the original media they come from, the more out-of-character your interpretation of them is going to get. I haven't missed a single Paranatural Friday since I first got into the comic but I also don't reread the comic in full every week of my life, yknow? So yeah, it's cool, it's fine. Maybe my interpretation is a bit off, I thought, maybe it's a bit inaccurate for the sake of my insane wacky au's, or whatever, but THEN
But then these past three updates have basically grabbed me by the shoulders and??? Told me 'Oh yeah lmao you know how you've been doing Cody's character for LITERAL YEARS for the sake of veeerry dramatic fanfiction? Yeah LMFAO that's all canon you were right all along' LIKE HOWWWW AM I SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH THIS?? Every single little exaggeration of his traits turned out to just be. Completely accurate. He's dramatic with a penchant for theatrics and wears cute outfits (when in the comfort of his own home) and he's very outwardly blasé about his own horrible circumstances and his mask is so fake that even in a comic where literally everyone is a fictional character his character ESPECIALLY doesn't feel real and he moves like some sort of anime girl in a visual novel, and THE BODY HORROR????? I GOT THE BODY HORROR RIGHT TOO??? Like okay I didn't predict the heart scar but body horror Cody is a staple of so many things I've written for this godforsaken comic and I FEEL SO VINDICATED. I don't know how to deal with the fact that I accidentally out-of-character stumbled my way into the right characterization. 2020 junk-thrillz would be rolling around in zir grave by now if ze knew what would happen in the future. I think I need to go lie down
GRRRAAAAAAAGGGHHHHHHH!!! I’M DONE BEING COHERENT!!!!! I FUCKING LOVE PARANATURAL!!!!!! LIGHTNING BEAM LIGHTNING BEAM LIGHTNING BEA
I’m sure this post has been made before, by people who are more articulate than I am, but Nimona means so much to me. I grew up with the graphic novel - ND Stevenson’s work has been instrumental in my development as a person throughout the better chunk of my life. And the thing about Nimona the graphic novel is that it’s just so different. Seeing the trailers for the movie was jarring. I’ll admit, my first instinct was to get defensive. The movie takes on new visuals, a new tone, and it didn’t strike a chord with me at first.
But I’m so over that now, because it just makes me so happy that Nimona the movie exists at all, that it exists in the way it does. It’s all Nimona, all of it. The two versions of the story are different, different in the fine details in ways I can’t even begin to describe to friends who have only seen the movie, but that’s goddamned beautiful. Nimona’s story gets to be told anew. And at the heart of it, it’s still Nimona. The message, the feeling, the heart of it is all the same. Nimona the movie takes it to a new level, into a new era, but it shows such an innate love for what Nimona was in its original form. It’s a continuation that does it justice. And I love it. I love Nimona. I’ll love Nimona for forever, I think
@jjammy-skies ALRIGHT THAT'S IT!! PREPARE TO GET BOOPED INTO OBLIVION
