I have fallen in love with @would-btw’s dukedom au over on the bird website. I wanted to see Simon feeling more comfortable during his pregnancy, safe and loved.
I had a ton of fun working on this, but don’t ever ask me to do a patterned fabric again XD
All the flowers on Simon’s dress have meanings, btw :)
A WIP for the merfolk au I’m working on! I decided to make Echo a war veteran who’s retired on the shores of Lake Superior. He fishes for a hobby, despite his disability, and also spends a lot of his time removing illegal gill nets/fish traps and abandoned fishing gear from his area. He has made friends with a shoal of the lake’s merfolk who spend their time doing similar work to help preserve the native species they herd.
I know it’s a little hard to tell, but this is how I think Omega’s introduction to the Batch will go: Echo comes across her caught in an illegal net, and wants to free her. But she certainly doesn’t make it easy! Although merfolk aren’t a secret in this au, there is animosity between humans and merfolk because the merfolk aren’t afraid to sabotage humans who treat their home waters disrespectfully. So there’s not a whole lot of trust between the two worlds. Omega doesn’t know Echo isn’t the owner for the net she was caught in, and it’s pretty scary being all tangled up like that! Echo’s hand will be fine. Though he’ll have a nice scar to remember the kid by XD
I’ve seen a lot of mermaid au’s where the characters are sea creatures. Freshwater fish often get overlooked. Which is a shame! There are a lot of really cool freshwater species, and I think they should get more love in these au’s! Last year for MerMay I designed a red-finned catfish Hunter mer, and this is kinda a continuation of that idea! I’ve got a lot of plans for this au, so stay tuned if you like it!!
This is correct. The reason studios are pumping out stuff that feels repetitive, safe, and always tied to an existing brand is because if the film isn’t received well, it won’t turn a profit for the company. The paycheck for all the work that goes into the movie: writers, scripting, actors, costumes, sets, travel expenses, lodging, filming, editing, effects, practically the entire production budget, is paid by the studio in the expectation that the profit at the box office will offset that budget and exceed it so that the studio itself gets a big fat paycheck. This is why film is one of the few industries where voting with your wallet actually has an effect. If you want to see better content from a studio, hit them in that box office paycheck. Don’t patronize films that you don’t want to see being made. Studios will follow the flow of money.
man y'all could not suck disney's dick any harder
I’m curious…
Always
Guys this is really important. I know this show is so important to so many of us, but if it is causing you lingering and very real distress, you should please do something to help with that! I care very deeply about a lot of people in this fandom and you deserve to enjoy this finale. My dms and ask inbox are definitely open if anyone needs a big sister to talk to
Hello, hi, fandom big sister here
Finale’s are always a rollercoaster, series finales especially. They can be fun, devastating, sad, exhilarating, disappointing, everything we dreamed, or all of the above or none of those at all. Emotions run high, and it’s hard to say goodbye.
I’m here to offer that if the idea of The Bad Batch finale is making you physically sick, is genuinely impacting your day to day, or is impacting your mental health, I encourage you to do one or some of the following:
1. Reach out to someone in the fandom who you’re close to or feel comfortable reaching out to 2. Go outside in whatever capacity you’re able to whether that’s a walk or just sitting in a doorway or even being by an open window. Take in some fresh air 3. Take a break from chat forums or Reddit or tumblr where I’ve noticed an alarming uptick in anxiety induced posts about the finale
I’m saying this as someone who understands attachment to stories and characters. My body is a canvas of tattoos inspired by characters, Star Wars in particular. In fact, clones in particular. I’m excited and nervous to see what is in store for our Batch; however, fandom and media should not be a source for literal physical and mental discomfort to the point of affecting your base functions, and in the last few days, I’ve become worried over most of the posts I’ve seen. If this is happening to you, please reach out, please take a breath, and please make some space for you.
This goes for after the finale too. Consume, enjoy, process, discuss, engage, all of the beautiful fandom things. But please take the above steps if the same is happening to you post finale. We are a community, and I want this to always be a community of safety and comfort
I’m drawin’ a Halloween, what monster should be stalking them? I’m thinkin’ werewolf Johnny or Eldritch Ghost, given the fact that Kortac is usually pitted against the 141 >:D
A place for me to share my art as I learn how to draw digitally! (Apparently it’s important to share your age on this website now. I’m uncomfortable about posting my exact age online, but I am mid-twenties to early thirties. Don’t come at me, my joints ache)
