Zeynep ain't much for talking. Kawtar wants to be heard *at all costs*.

At the demon-haunted barrier between our world and the outer dark, they found each other.

A line art drawing of a high femme princess leaning against a marble pillar, with a tall butch warrior in leather armor leaning over her. They gaze at each other lovingly.

You can't be beautiful on the morning commute man, just be a half-conscious pile a puke clutching a latte like me, it's very uncool that you're beautiful this time of day

There are 2 wolves inside me, one who doesn't wanna see Tron Ares based on every piece of information I have gained on Tron Ares, the other who does based off one picture of Greta Lee in a Tron suit on a motorcycle

Broadly speaking I want to be Taken Elsewhere, to spend time inhabiting someone(s) Not Us.

Superheroes are Here+, and I find Fantasy stories grounded in superhero style storytelling are Here+ in cosplay, starring Us in cosplay. Thus, not my personal taste.

You know a space truly perceives me as a woman when there's a mighty pushback upon my posting a pop culture hot take, and when a cis dude says the exact same shit minutes later everyone's all wow so true bestie

Genre fans be like

I've seen/read this movie/book 5,000,000 times, my life's guiding principles are based upon it, I have several passages/images tattooed upon my body

I don't know that I'd call it "good" per se but

Rick Rosenthal made two different Halloween movies in which a fake Michael Myers is killed in an ambulance crash which, two nickels etc

One of my favorite things in Halloween 2 is Donald Pleasance referring to the pagan festival of SAM HANE*

presumably dozens of people were on set and nobody knew or cared enough to correct his pronunciation for as many takes as they did!

Please normalize the idea that media aimed primarily at adults is not mutually exclusive to being fun or lighthearted.

I try not to be a film snob but it's annoying when people are shocked I haven't seen children's film that were released when I was not a child. Like no, I don't think it's weird I haven't seen How To Train Your Dragon, I'm a grownup

If you write short stories (any genre) you should read Elmore Leonard

Westerns & the Old West @davidlambertart.bsky.social · 1d

Happy 100th Birthday to the late, great Elmore Leonard

Discourse about the Punisher mostly sucks because they're only thinking about the character in relationship to the extended Marvel universe which is mostly boring!

Punisher MAX is a masterpiece because Ennis can just focus on the theme of "20th century conflict is an abattoir"

Wouldn't it be more fruitful to look at this popular and well-reviewed game that you personally dislike through the lens of its fans? I am an adult!

If someone says that something is woke or DEI, they essentially evaporate right in front of me. Nothing they say has any worth. They are simply resource consumers and noise producers.

Fashy Cinemasins

That's what this is, the effect the proliferation of "anti-woke" youtube grifters have had on their audiences as a whole, stunting their ability to engage with media and training them to look for "DEI sins" to call out, atrophying their ability to enjoy the games they're playing.

For certain readers and authors "Fantasy" seems to mean "Superheroes, re-skinned"; that's fine, but it's really not for me.

Though I enjoy Sword & Sorcery as a cloak over other genres, if I'm in the mood for superheroes then that's just what I'll read or watch. I want something else from Fantasy.
