I just read land of the free and home of the wayne for the first time in a few years. I was wondering what your thoughts were on it years after writing it?
This is actually my first time being on my account in years too. It's weird being going back in time. I still write mainly on ao3 and under a different user now but looking back at how much I've grown as a person and how that hurt I felt as a teenager was there in my writing is pretty difficult to be honest. It's not a work I'm super proud of compared to my works now where instead of pressuring myself to write I do it when I want to. It's hard to read. Really really hard to read. Maybe that's just a me thing but it's the fic that established me as a writer on a lot of platforms and made me think that I was good at this so for that I'll be forever grateful to that fic.
I am creating a new tumblr account. I really don’t want to be associated with this account anymore. I recently graduated and want to move on from old ties. This account’s creation is tied to a person I’m not friends with anymore and it just feels wrong to use it. I’m not going to delete this account cause I still love everything I’ve done on here but Zambie-trashart just isn’t a title that fits me anymore. I’m really sorry cause this might seem sudden but I love all of you who made this content what is was and for the friends a made along the way.
I Want to Break Free (Wally’s Time In the Phantom Zone) pt. 1: Welcome to the Zone
(this will hopefully be a series of posts based on motivation) I miss Wally and this is what I believe would have happened to him in the Phantom Zone.
Panic and energy was all that coursed through his veins. Where was he? He died right, there was no way he could still be alive? Everything was white and black, his suit was shaded grey and white. It was odd, almost like the opposite of stealth mode in his old mission days. God, Dick would be pissed at him not to mention Artemis. He sat and bit his lip staring ahead.
At first it was weird having to look at everything through this weird filter but then things became better over time, speaking of time it wasn’t exactly going very well on keeping track. Nothing changed in this place, it wasn’t cold or warm, it wasn’t day or night, nothing was up or down, it just existed. Wally stood up looking around before thinking. He missed a lot of people, wished he left things off better with Dick, and just wanted to hold Artemis again.
He sat dejected on the ground once again counting out seconds but finding no particular use in it. Was this death? Some form of limbo? Was this Hell? Nothing seemed right it was just a weird place in the middle of nowhere. He walked to the edge of the rock and looked below, could it even be called a rock and below at this point?
Wally pulled down his goggles and ran jumping from floating thing to floating thing but the place just went on forever. He didn’t even know how long he had been jumping. There was no force carrying him down, it was almost like he was in space. Wally fell to his knees and cried silently and remembered in space no one can hear you scream.
That’s what he spent a lot of his stay doing. Screaming at the world and how it was unfair, he had his whole life ahead of him but bad people had to mess that up, he was retired with Artemis and sure he hated Dick and Kaldur for dragging them back in but it was fun again but they shouldn’t have had to deal with bad people in the first place. This was all just so unfair.
His tears just flowed right through him and his throat felt raw from screaming. At least he was feeling something other than just internal emotions. It was just so confusing. This had to be a pocket dimension, but those were just theoretical. Yeah, this had to be limbo. Maybe he should start praying and he’ll be able to move on and watch over his friends. That would hurt too much though, Dick would get a new handsome red-head friend, Artemis would get married and have kids, Kaldur would probably go back to the sea and sulk for a while before eventually leading a much bigger team, Roy would finally marry Jade and Lian would grow up, M’gann and Conner would get married finally... he would miss all of it. Wally tried to pound his fist into the ground under him but failed as his hand went right through.
He shook his head and just wanted to give up. Life here just wasn’t going to work. There had to be something after this right? Where were the other limbo dwellers. Other people had to be here right? He should just wait for them then. Wally got criss-cross applesauce and waited... and waited. Maybe he should just take a quick nap.
Wally rested his head against the floating thing he found himself situated on and looked up. There was this small thing, well it was small until it came hurling at him. “What the hell?” It looked so familiar. He had seen that somewhere before. It was grey and looked like... a ship.
These will be short I hope you enjoyed. Please if you would like and reblog it really helps me be motivated to write stuff because I’ve been in a really long writing rut and just want to have that motivation of people liking my stuff. Perhaps another one tomorrow?
do you ever have those bloggers that you know by a nickname you kinda just gave them and you get excited to see them on your dash even though you’ve barely/never spoken to them ever
Ok, so I’m going to study film in college and am actually working on a movie this summer... I know how adventurous.
The Batman, something my brother and I absolutely dreaded to go see because number one it was three hours why the FUCK was it three hours and number two my brother just hated the idea of Edward turning into a bat after 14 years. Now the movie although I do have some minor disagreements with the casting (not of batman) I actually was able to find great things about the shooting of the movie. And no I never pay attention to the plot my first time watching a movie so I guess I’ll just have to go with my prom date the second time huh?
Show don’t tell. That’s a huge thing that most fast paced movies try to do and fail at they tell us too much at the start and overshare the backstory of our characters. We all knew going in Batman has dead parents, and what do you know not a single gunshot and pearls in sight. Batman has a severe distaste for guns because of that incident and he is seen multiple times getting angry about the cops holding there’s out. Once with Gordon where he says something along the lines of “you may not use them but I do” and later the other cop in Ed’s apartment puts his away after Batman glares at him just for having it out. Just perfect. There are other instances of show don’t tell but this was a big one for me which that nailed for the movie keeping it interesting. Another I’ll mention later with Action Sequences.
Camera Angles. Most shows and movies keep a static midshot camera angle which unless you’re saying something earth shattering won’t keep a viewer interested for long. They used those fly on the wall shots to keep you interested now that being said I wish they used more because that would have made them feel more in place rather than just randomly looking through the ceiling window of the mayor’s house in the start of the movie only to thirty minutes later get another view from a quirky angle. But the effort was there and the shots were very good when used correctly cause I swear if I had to see one more super hero movie with static midshots with the occasional zoom out over dramatic scenes I would have lost my mind. I felt claustrophobic during those special scenes that they used them for especially when they were in sequence I just wish there were more so I could have that feeling of helplessness for a bit longer.
Musical introductions. One thing that definitely made me get my brother off his ass and to the theater was the soundtrack and oh baby I love that new Batman theme. It’s dark and inviting and I love that feeling of buildup to that classic sound we all knew and loved from the Ben Affleck movies but there’s just something in there that makes you want to reach out and support this character and it shows cause even I was leaning on the edge of my seat whenever it came on. I knew if I heard that build up HE was coming and I would get those other things I loved about the movie too. Now fucking throw Ave Maria in there too with the subtle undertones of it in a minor key every time someone was captured so it sounded like it was playing but there was just something off. Was that Ave Maria or just different music all together? Oh it was Ave Maria because those editors and musical producers knew what they were doing. The minor key is chilling, it is scary, and it is unexpected. Most of the songs from horror movies are in the minor key and that is what gives them that feeling of dread.
Action Sequences. It was disappointing about the whole static shock situation with midshots but the switch back and forth from mid to closeup was what made it different. That scene that they used for the trailers with the penguin car chase was really upsetting when I saw it in theaters. The car spin after it’s hit is just too long I get what they were going for but if felt like one of those drunk drive things they show you in driver’s ed where it’s just too much. If they just it in half doing constant cuts back and forth from Penguin to the car for every hit and cut the hits in half I would have been a bit more satisfied. Now for the other’s they weren’t very memorable except for the DA with his head stuck in the bomb. They used the different cameras to show just how tense that situation was once again edge of my seat type of thing. But it was just action shot after action shot there was really no down time in the movie but that was what made it different there was really no “Bruce Wayne” in the movie there was only The Batman. The only time we really saw Bruce was at the funeral and the fact that he kept on looking at the dead mayor’s son was because he knew something bad would happen to him. Bam car through the wall with some establishing shots in midframe and closeup and Bruce tackles the kid off to the side not wanting him to meet the same horrible fate as his father.
Now my one recast would have to be for your local mob boss Carmine Falcone. I was in no way intimidated by him... at all. It was really a miscast and he didn’t do anything to prove me wrong either. I thought that Paul Dano wasn’t going to live up to the name until I saw him behind those bars at Arkham and heard him speak truly and freely. I thought they messed him up with the shots though it could have been more interesting it was a shame because it could have been more shots looking down on Batman and more shots looking up at Riddler do establish power but basically what I’m getting at is Carmine was my only problem with the film. He felt forced and just wasn’t my Carmine that I’ve seen in movies or in the Gotham T.V. show. Give me fucking Richard Kind and he could have done better. But yeah that’s my standpoint on the movie for anyone who cares about the movie from a film studies pov.
Marinette: We’ve known each other for a while now and I’ve been thinking it’s time to take the next step in our relationship.
Damian: What do you mean?
Marinette, gets on one knee: Here, my wifi password
Damian: No way.
Marinette: *tumbles down the stairs*
Dick: I got you!
Marinette: ...
Dick: *smiling* ...
Marinette: ....
Dick: I think you just
Marinette: Don’t...
Dick: Fell for me
Marinette: put me down
