i know i talk about pokemon go a lot but like. the summer of 2016 where pokemon go was released? i’ve never seen anything like it in my life. shit was absolutely insane
i gave my phone to a stranger who jumped a fence to get a clefairy that was in a restricted area
I had a baby that summer and all the pictures we took of him for two whole months include a pokemon
Have YOU ever thought to yourself, “Well, my life is going great, but what I could really use right now is a 2000 X-Men Wolverine With Motorcycle Remote-Controlled Toy or a 2001 McFarlane Toys Shrek With Outhouse” Then have I got the post for you!
Life has not been easy this year and I’m selling a ton of stuff. A bunch of Pokemon plushies, some X-Men and Spider-Man figures, some He-Man/She-Ra stuff… Just lots of lots of vintage toys. More to come, as well!
Unfortunately I can only ship to the UK via ebay BUT! If you see anything you like and you’re not in the UK I will probably be able to get it to you anyway, just send me a message.
like i’m sorry but we as a fandom have to stay firm on our anti-AI values. we cannot suddenly start giving AI a pass when it’s something we “want to see” like destiel kisses. it’s not suddenly fine. we’re not going to start using AI to make fanfic scenes come to life or audio AI to make characters “say” stuff we want to hear. you have GOT to be firm on your anti-AI stance. if you start making exceptions then suddenly anything will fly. fandom is for real art and creations made by real people. no AI fanfics. no AI art. no AI rendered “bonus” scenes. no AI audio. none of it has a place here.
current fan creation landscape is kinda like if you went to a party with a homemade cake and everyone takes a slice and silently thumbs up at you with no attempt to start a conversation except for occasionally some guy sits in the corner with a tape recorder critiquing the cake as though he was a restaurant critic and another guy is handing the cake to an uber driver like “yeah i need you to find a restaurant that makes cake like this so i can have more of it” and the only person that’s talked to you in 30 minutes is a very sweet little guy who was like “hey i liked your cake” and then ran away apologizing for bothering you the moment you said thank you.
someone brought a cake analysis robot to feed the cake into to determine the exact ingredients and supposedly it can spit out the exact same cake. and if you’re like dude. what. then they’re like well if it bothers you you should have made more cake. i’m hungry and i deserve cake. and you’re like dude we’re at a party.
Three months later you find out that fifty people locked themselves in a room to discuss how much they loved your cake and how they wished you made more. None of them ever told you.
so for the love of god. please tell people you liked their cake and don’t feel embarrassed about it. because then they will make more cake.
I feel very out of step with the moviegoing world right now because I hated Deadpool and Wolverine and liked this. I didn’t love it, it definitely has flaws, but I sort of admire how little it cares about pleasing the audience, I guess?
Also Reddit really, really hates it so that sort of bumps it up a couple of notches in my estimation.
This is only of interest to the most diehard of diehard Raimi Spider-Man fans, I know, but if anyone actually wants to read and keep The Final Act, I stuck it in a PDF. Just in case AO3 ever deletes the fic or somehow becomes unavailable, you know?
Sorry this looks so clunky. I have no idea how to upload it as just the link. Still, maybe this looks okay on a desktop?
Henry Ossawa Tanner’s depiction of the Annunciation will always be my absolute favourite but I really do think there is something so ethereal and endearing about his study before the official artwork was completed.
The way Mary sits with almost no visible features but you can still tell that her hands are clasped in prayer- the angel Gabriel manifesting as a single stroke of light as the paint and room seems to contort around him. Easily one of the all timers.
the completed piece for those of u who have never seen it. so bitchin.
