IVAN CAMPAIGN!

Please consider helping the very talented @flightyalrighty with their Ivan the Elephant plush campaign!

He's almost funded, but still needs a little push! Here's the link to the campaign!

Please check out Flighty's blog for more details, I don't want to get anything wrong. And while you're at it, check out Infested as well (if you're old enough!).

Great horror fancomic!

one thing we will not be doing anywhere near my blog is hating on hudson williams because I have 32 years of pent up rage and a deep fondness for this particular canadian and both of those things can and will be unleashed at any given opportunity

A Heavy Burden

Background version

[bella-flur]

I take back my power by becoming my muse. Treating myself the way I deserve to be treated. Dressing the way that entices me to myself. Accentuating my features. Alluring my own existence. I am the beholder. No one can take me from me again.

So we know that Vox and the vees will be the main antagonists for season 2 and honestly I’m mostly concerned about Alastor( no surprise there).

They have footage of his fight with Adam and I can see how they can warp that against him. Reputation is everything for Alastor and if they smear him using that footage…..

I’m not gonna have the most composed response to that, besties.

Alastor’s ego is already in a rough spot. What with Lucifer being at the hotel, his loss to Adam and his staff being broken.

And considering how much Alastor values his reputation of being feared this is definitely gonna push him into a corner.

I’m not having a good time thinking about that.

I feel like there are too many minors trying to insert themselves in the adult Hazbin fandom cause I just encountered a public radiostatic community that's being hosted by a 12 year old, I don't know what these kids parents are doing but it's not good

I'd be lying if I said I didn't get into things I probably shouldn't have when I was younger (then again I was a wee little religious teen who didn't have the nerve to go into, much less interact, in mature/explicit groups), but I wish they'd at least mark these spaces as ones for minors, especially when it comes to shows like Hazbin Hotel.

I don't think minors and adults should be completely cut off from each other in fandom, but when it comes to adults shows and adults fans making explicit content, minors shouldn't be inserting themselves into these spaces. I think its good and healthy for them to explore themselves through fics and art, whether that's creating it themselves or viewing it--it certainly helped me broaden my worldview and discover things about myself (no joke, Spideypool is what led to me getting out of my toxic, religious lifestyle).

But they need to understand that adults have boundaries too. That adults get uncomfortable, and most of us don't want them interacting with our 18+ material (or, at the very least, discussing it with us). Just the exchange of explicit content (especially sexual content) between minors and adults is illegal, and could really get us in trouble.

And, you know, it's just weird and uncomfortable.

I like creating and consuming dark content, and it's not something I'd ever want to discuss with someone in their teens. It makes me feel gross. I've actually had an experience with a minor passing themselves off as an adult and talking with me in an 18+ channel on discord. They felt guilty afterward and admitted they were a minor, and when I tell you how gross I felt as the adult in that situation. How disgusting I felt.

It was a horrible experience that I never want to repeat.

If any minors are reading this, you need to understand that engaging in these topics with adults does have consequences, and you need to respect our boundaries on the matter. If us getting in trouble with the law isn't enough for you to do that, then consider that we're human beings and these things have an emotion and mental impact on us too.

It’s Morsestache Monday!

I love this scene.

The Morsestache is lush, vibrant and present, glowing in the fluorescent luminescence of his bunker and the vending machines. It’s a standalone character, part Tom Selleck, part Sean Connery, part Sweeney-era, all 1969.

The rest of Morse is tentative and shy, almost childlike, even a little apprehensive-not quite sure what response he is going to receive at this overture to resume their collaboration. 

For his part, Thursday is feeling his years, is embarrassed to find himself benched and demoted in front of his young protégé, and doesn’t quite know how to lead him with these debits on his ledger sheet.

Where you might expect at least a manly handshake, and a shoulder clap to reestablish connection, instead, you have a scene shot with a lot of vertical lines, indicating separation, distance, isolation, and a somewhat truncated, non-linear flow of conversation between them, with awkward gaps and silences, and unnatural speech patterns for them both. Fred doesn’t entirely turn around, and Morse hasn’t fully emerged from his cave. He reminds me of an eel, ready to dart back under a rock. We don’t see them truly face each other. They’re both protecting themselves.

It’s bittersweet and painfully awkward, as the two of them try to navigate this new reality without hurting the other or harkening back to better times which surely both of them miss terribly.
