~ Hephaestus' Children Are Born To Burn ~

like the first rule of cooking is to have fun and be yourself and the first rule of baking is to stay calm because the dough can sense fear

Just gave my friend an almost two hour long presentation on lab rats complete with a 32 slide long slideshow and I feel like god

the thing about people writing tim as insecure is like yeah he is insecure and a little desperate and the cockiness is partly a defense mechanism. but he would NEVER actually let on that he is even remotely insecure. he's an unreliable narrator because he doesn't even let the reader know he's insecure most of the time. tim would rather disembowel himself with a grapefruit spoon than have even his closest loved ones know that he's a little insecure sometimes

I GOT A CUSTOM BOUND RED ROBIN 2009 RUN FOR A RELATIVELY GOOD PRICE SO I DIDNT HAVE TO PAY THE $10 SHIPPING FOR EVERY COMIC !!!! IM SO HAPPY

Is it worth it to spend $10 on shipping on one tiny little comic but it’s Red Robin 2009

MegaCon JATP Info dump:

How they imagined the ending:

Reggie takes over the Hollywood Ghost Club

Luke stays with Julie

Willie & Alex cross over

What Hogwarts House would their characters be in:

Reggie -> Hufflepuff

Alex -> Slytherin

Julie -> Gryffindor

Madi to the guys: Uhm?

Owen & Jeremy, in sync: Gryffindor!

If they could make any advice to their characters, what would it be:

Jeremy to Reggie: Make that country album!

Owen to Alex: Take one day at a time and lean on your friends.

Madi to Julie: Girl, he's a ghost.

Favorite Song to film/record:

Owen -> Stand Tall

Jeremy -> Now or Never

Madi -> Finally Free

Favorite Outfit:

Owen: Zip pants & Hoodie

Jeremy: Leather jacket (it got customized to be more stretchy so he could move and jump around)

Madi: 'I got the music' outfit

(Owen and Jeremy both talked about how much freedom they got with the outfits. Kenny wanted them to feel comfortable in their clothes.)

Random stuff:

Jeremy jumped off the stage for the Now or Never scene so often his knee started hurting

During the rehearsal for 'This Band his back' Jeremy stumbled over Charlie's guitar while jumping on the chairs. He fell and cut his hand, so in the filmed version, Reggie has a band-aid on one of his fingers

The suits for Stand Tall cost over $3000

'Nothing to lose' got almost cut bc they didn't have enough budget to film it. But Kenny somehow made it happen.

Originally, Reggie was supposed to lose a shoe instead of his shirt. But nobody would have seen that, so they changed it to losing the shirt.

Most awkward moment: For the dinner scene, the guys had to hide in a tiny closet, and Jeremy and Owen were staring into each other's eyes.

They really tried to make a tour happen

Owen was terrified of filming 'All Eyes on Me'

Off-Topic: But during Jeremy's voice acting panel, Owen was hanging out in the audience to watch it.

Look I’m just saying if you don’t write young justice as ride or die-down for murder for each other at a moments notice you’re writing them wrong

Imagine you’re Gregory House and you work exclusively alone and stupid Cuddy is making you take on a fellow or you have to up clinic hours by double. So of course you’re gonna make it fun. So you decide to find the richest, most pretentious and privileged doctor you can find (since cuddy won’t let you hire an untrained pr*stitute), a real ‘mommy and daddy’s little Angel’ type, and BREAK them. So lucky for you Rowan Chase has a son that’s going off the deep end and really needs a job to straighten him out. Perfect. So you hire the little shit and decide to see how long it takes to break down his worldview. And he walks in, flowy golden hair, pretty eyes, and a fresh face. Of course he’s pretty too, even more privilege. Jackpot.

So you start him out and see how long it takes for him to call you poor and threaten to tell daddy, or use the phrase “do you know who my father is??” And in a cunning plan you tell this kid to break into a patient’s house to find clues to their deteriorating state (you know what’s causing it but GOD if it isn’t interesting) And to your surprise he does, not only that, but finds a diagnosis, proving you wrong in the process. So you ask him to do more and more and get you a coffee on the way, and he does. The poor kid looks like bambi after his mother got shot when he realises he messed the order up. You put off and put off sacking the poor kid, because he’s fun and nervous, but he’s daring too, willing to start a good argument, but desperate to please. Not at ALL what you’d expected.

And then Wilson starts liking the kid, becoming grossly paternal, bringing him food and looking after him when he had to jump out of a window on a house visit (whoops) and telling you off when you go too far. You ignore the rapidly increasing connections you’re finding to the three of you and a family unit; you’re meant to toy with the kid! Not teach him how to throw a ball.

And then you find yourself looking out for the stupid kid too. When he gets into fights or, hell, subtly praising him when he thinks you’re disappointed.

And you realise you really like this kid, so when Cuddy asks if he’s too much of a handful and how it’s going you have to make up some excuse about having a young and pretty secretary is actually pretty useful, despite having the wrong parts.

That stupid little spoilt brat you wanted to hire is actually an ambitious doctor that’s had no support, and you realise you actually want to keep him around and- despite the fact you’d never admit it- want to see him thrive. And if you hear him slip up and call you dad once or twice? You’ll let it slide.

i heard we were taking about skybound recently

Petition to rename Animorphs books more accurately, so they’re called things like “first named character gets eaten alive”, “first suicide attempt”, and “oh my god even more genocide are you kidding me”

I think the world needs more positivity, so what are your funniest comic moments?

you have no idea what you have let upon the world, I have way too many comic panels saved,, brace yourself
