Despite a few minor story inconsistency quirks, "Spiderman: Brand New Day" was my fave live-action Spidey movie. It genuinely got me in the feels with sentiments around mutants, monstrosity & memory. Also helped that Frank & Yelena are two of my most loved Marvel characters (alongside Bucky ofc).🕸️

Honestly what writer doesn't? Even the most well-adjusted, existentially comfortable character has to go through some shit for there to be a story in the first place. Though I agree I often lay the trauma on HARD, which can leave permanent mental & physical scars. These characters I love the most. 💖

Be honest. Did you traumatize your original character for the sake of character development? Was it for better or for worse? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

(OOC: in 1798, Olaudah Equiano released his memoir to the British public. The depiction of slavery from the perspective of a freed slave appalled the public, and swelled the abolitionist cause. Cis folk won't tell the whole truth about us because they don't know it. Support trans journalists)

Good morning! Isn't it a great day to support independent journalism that serves the trans community and their allies? I KNEW you'd think so too. We're trying to add 50 new members in the month of August. Help us!!! <3!! assignedmedia.org/support/

The fact they had full-scale animatronic Bugs to get the correct spine-crushing flailing from stunt actors is so freakin' cool! Layering CG in combo with physical FX is a real film-making sweet-spot to me - yes, more costly & labour intensive than pure CG, but overall more convincing too.

SA and 4chan, for all the "edgy iconoclasm", were really engines for conservative social norm affirming. SA, portal of evil, encyclopedia dramatica, 4chan, their point was to eliminate any expression that they deemed "too earnest" Too colorful Too queer Deep conformity under the edgy veneer

As a reminder, a LOT of the internet animosity against furries is just thinly veiled queermisia/homophobia. Again, linking to Soatok soatok.medium.com/if-you-hate-... So much of it was trying to crush and humiliate people who dared to be openly weird and enthusiastic. Cannot be allowed.

Screenshot from a somethingawful article reading "A huge, huge motivation for early furry hate was homophobia. That remained the one axis on which we (non-furry dweebs) could punch down, no matter the stated justification. Furries helped mainstream majority-queer spaces. That made them easy to mock, because they were unashamed enough to be public with their weird art and their dragon wings and their rejection of all the suffocating norms that still make mainstream geek culture an unrelenting hell.

That invited scorn. It hurt to see others free from the shames that wracked us so. Disgust was the immediate response, a kind of unbodying  rejeciton which would seek to purge any otherness from ourselves. Some of us knew it to be queerphobia, and I'm sure that was the motivation for a lot  of the early trolling.
Others just wanted to be part of the in-group, and there was no easier way to do that than take a swing at a designated punching bag "

We were watching that silly new Tom Hiddleston reenactment of the disaster of Pompeii and he was like ‘we have amazing new tech that allows us to track people through this disaster’ and I was oh no he’s going to say it’s an AI brain or something and then he said…. ‘Its a spreadsheet’ and I CHEERED

Let's be honest, Peyton ain't writing this thing. At a stretch, he may note down thoughts on a dictaphone & hope someone else types it up? It'll be dairy-format; not very chronological; spiral down emotional rabbitholes; bend the truth to avoid embarrassment; & be a smutty romp.😈💖 #AwesomeCharacters

He frowned at the sassy redhead in the sepia print; percher tilted jauntily as she sprawled against the Franklin's hood, twirling a familiar ignition key. Rose's chuckle purred in his mind like smooth combustion, paint peeling from her mask's hollow eyes. "Weren't I a doll, Rocket?" #13MorbidMondays

Recently, the most ghost-filled narrative I read was R.F. Kuang's 'Katabasis'. Technically it wasn't just a ghost story, it was a full-on journey to the underworld tale. But there were plenty of ghosts featured in the various realms of the afterlife (Elspeth is defo best dead girl). #13MorbidMondays

UK front cover of R.F. Kuang's "Katabasis", it is an Escher-style illustration of endless staircases, with dunes, gates, walls and cathedrals visible between them. A female figure, a male figure and a cat wander between the staircases, all on their own separate journeys. The subtitles of the book is up the top of the cover and says "To Hell with Love", whilst the blurb "From the No.1 Bestselling Author of Yellowface" and the author's name at the base of the page. The whole cover is black and white illustration with gold foil highlights around the sides and central title.

I'd haunt personal library collections, appearing as a wisp of ectoplasmic tea steam riffling the pages of freshly opened volumes from to-be-read piles. Scents of musty bookshop proliferate everything. In photographs, orderly bookshelves appear as disorganised, teetering piles. #13MorbidMondays

Photo of towering bookshelves and stacks in a small, cramped bookshop. Judging by the small stacked Persian carpets, antlers and map of Scotland on one of the walls, this is likely one of the small Westport Bookshops in Edinburgh - the best place to go to be surrounded by old books.
