Toshiro Mifune in "Drunken Angel" (1948)

Why I do not consider Iron Widow a "feminist" book and how there's a difference between female rage and feminism, which only kicks in throughout Heavenly Tyrant as Zetian gets educated and ties the gender struggle to the class struggle

Happy International Working Women's Day! Never forget its origins in the labor movement! There will never be true emancipation for women without emancipation of the working class.

We only have 2 types (in reviews of the "Istanbul" 1985):

anyone else get embarrassed when their self indulgent daydreams are like too self-indulgent? like oh jeez the telepaths are going to judge me

I had a dream that I was being seduced by this gross wet war veteran exterminator.

It goes without saying, it worked 😍

Was watching rules of acquisition today (the episode with Pel) and when Julian Bashir showed up at the very end of the episode I was actually stunned by his beauty because I had seen so many ferengi for 45 minutes. I forgot he was kind of gorgeous. Ferengi fuckers do not come for me. I am on your side

New Star Trek headcanon just dropped: Geordi and data regularly hang out in the dark and Geordi sometimes forgets that people need light to see

Process of my latest rookanis piece!

Original piece and thoughts under the cut ✨

As usual I've struggled with faces, it took a ton of attempts to get either of them right (all not included lmao, trust me, I struggled). Sometimes I overworked the rendering - most notably her hair. Chiara's hair is straight and the woman in the ref has curly hair, I kept overdoing the details in ways that didn't make sense. I wish the final result was closer to his style but alas, I can try that again in a new piece!

When I overwork pieces of a painting, I rather paint the area flat and try again from scratch than trying to fix the existing rendering. By doing it a second time I try to make each brushstroke more deliberate so that I need fewer moves to show what I want. Treat that first attempt as a test run, trust yourself that you'll do better the second time around.

J.C. Leyendecker, famous queer artist of dapper 1920s people, across a hundred years of separation: so sometimes we need to get a little athlete, I mean a real small one, posing like he’s going to kill and eat someone, leaving no shards of bone.

Me, humble disciple: absolutely absolutely

J.C. Leyendecker: he could kill a horse by sneering. That’s how cunty he is.

Me: doin my best, boss -

J.C. Leyendecker: you must then put him in the silky underwear -

Me: of course.

Leyendecker: do your absolute best to shine up the silky, shiny, thin underwear. Oil it.

Me: I’m not great at this -

Leyendecker: think silk. Think shiny. Think, “this is how you sell clothing to straight men.”

Me: is - is it?

Leyendecker: the whip must, of course, be slightly suggestive. No, more than that. More than that. It’s important that he be provocatively catchable, AND YET - he can defend himself!

Me: got it, boss. Um - you know I’m not actually - I don’t know how to paint -

Leyendecker: shhh, I am telling you. to sell suits we also need a suit guy. we model the suit guy on a Suit Guy, one of my 1920s Suit Guys, it’ll be great.

Me: I can probably draw -

Leyendecker: suit guy could kiss him on the head. 😘 . Like that. Say that.

Me: 🫡

J.C. Leyendecker, “man and jockey clothing advertisement,” 1923. This is how we sell men’s suits, apparently.

THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (2013) dir. Peter Jackson

My present for my bestie: Christmas 2024 with RudeReno in Highschool AU - The scarf. (read from right to left)

Masterpost for Christmas 2024.

I would love to read your comments about this doujinshi 😊 Use #Shinra Highschool to see more contents of my FF7 high school AU.

I plan to post this in the evening but I have a shift today. Thus, I have to post this a little bit earlier.

I plan to draw for Tserith and Rufus x Cloud too. I want to see them in this high school au so badly.

If you cannot read or see well any part of the doujinshi, feel free to comment. I used only my pencil to draw so the image quality may not be good.

I modified my Reverend Daughter piece into a tapestry design 🖤 I’ll unveil these at Kami-Con next weekend, as well as in my shop later this month

Oh my god. Oh my god this nearly made me cry ♡♡♡ Harpo is one of my faves of all time, and knowing that he was like this makes me adore him even more.

This zine has been sitting partially finished for like 3 years and i figured, you know, done is better than perfect.

The title comes from Susan Fleming: "Oscar Levant was surly, moody, and despairing. He clung to Harpo like a life raft."

i just think they're neat.

An match of intellect between the Turk's dumbest member vs Soldier's dumbest?

I'm swapping dumb for naive, because lbr the level of intelligence it takes to be a SOLDIER or a Turk is unmatched.

Tseng: Alright. I've got a stack of question cards. I'll read the question, whoever hits the buzzer first and answers correctly gets a point. Clear?

Zack & Reno: Yes!

Tseng: Good. Question one—

*Reno hits the buzzer*

Tseng: I haven't read it yet.

Reno: Yeah, but I got the vibe. The answer is cheese.

Tseng: I will stab you in the neck with this question card.

Reno:

Tseng: ...Starting over. Question one—What materia—

*BZZT!*

Zack: Fire!

Tseng: Correct.

Reno: HUH!? He just guessed!

Zack: Gut instinct, man. Years of SOLDIER training.

Tseng: Next question—Who—

*BZZT!*

Reno: Sephiroth!

Tseng: ⏤was the founder of Shinra Electric Power Company?

*Zack hits the buzzer*

Zack: Sephiroth!

Tseng: Forgive my language, by why the fuck would Sephiroth found the Shinra Electric Power Company?

Zack: Wasn't he involved at least? Dude's been here since forever.

Reno: Maybe he got bored one day and was like "You know what this world needs? More electricity!" Then BAM, Shinra was born!

Tseng: He was literally raised IN a Shinra lab.

Reno: Why are we dismissing time travel?

Tseng: BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FUCKING—*Tseng takes a deep breath*—because it doesn't exist, Reno. Now, moving onto the next question. Suppose our fellow operative suffers a mental breakdown while on a mission, expresses intent to harm others, and plans to commit arson—what are the correct procedures?

*A portal rips open mid-air. Time traveler Cloud steps out, wordlessly hands Zack a folded paper, then disappears back into the portal as if this is completely normal*

*Zack unfolds the paper, scans it, then calmly hits the buzzer*

Zack: You beat his ass.

Tseng:

Pigs are actually quite intelligent.

brad dourif character smut fics?

so my brad dourif fixation got eaten by other stuff in late 2024, but i'd already written a bunch of ~smutty stories~ featuring various of his characters (including this cypress edge one).

sometime soon, i'm planning to edit and release the one that retcons martin klamski into something... much more useful >:]

don't forget there's a cozy little corner of AO3 with some tasty gríma and jack dante content by other writers!

New hyperfixation go brrrr

TalkieTuesday - Buster Keaton talking about why he never smiled on stage or in his films, "One of the first things I noticed was whenever I smiled or let the audience suspect how much I was enjoying myself they didn't seem to laugh as much as usual."

Buster Keaton The Cook (1918)
