Ok, so I must have missed a few brain cells and it shows on my newest fanfic wip; Which is basically Maddie Perez from Euphoria with Marc/Steven from Moon knight and honestly I'm kinda obsessed rn.
In this au he's introduced to Maddie by Jules as his "Cool Uncle who just moved from London and seems kinda lonely; So why not give him a chance and go out for dinner, just you two?",so Maddy does it and all end well; so he asks her in other date and the time she's graduating from high school they end up hopelessly in love with the other, but Nate still want Maddie back (aka Mr. I-need-someone-to-put-me-in-my-place)
Mark get control of the body when Nate tries to hurt Maddie AND insult him; which ends with he almost dead, then Mark leaves bc of Konshu bs, goes back to London leaving her behind, but then ✨SOME✨ things happen and she finds out about the entire moon knight thing and shit still happening....
BUT I strongly can't elaborate at the moment, just because it's too much detail and writing (and I'm kinda working on a trailer?); I honestly don't know how this works out, but let's see where my imagination guides me in this meanwhile....
So, maybe a new fic and crackship? 🤔 👀
*These songs bring me the vibe to picture a few moments of this fic....
Tomorrow I will choose violence when I wake up!

It always brings a certain kind of peace on bad days to revisit favorite comfort characters and comfort fics, it feels like a weights gone from your chest. It feels like home.
It feels like yout comfort character has turned around and seen you and went "oh, you're home, I've missed you" as they pull you into the deepest hug.
It feels like the aftermath of a bad panic attack or depression day, curled up in a blanket nest surrounded by your comfort characters as you watch movies and cuddle and just exist.
It feels like a hand squeezing yours, grounding you, reminding you that you're safe, you are loved and important. That you are enough.
Your comfort characters are waiting for you sweet one.
If you need a friend, a safe place to land, a place to rant and rave. Come back and visit me. Tell me about them, about your favorite fic, your favorite character, your bad day. We are here, your comfort character and I, always.
I hope tomorrow is better than today, that you find the post that you're searching for. Remember your comfort character believes in you and so do I, the fellow fanfiction reader who's just like you, just looking for a moment of comfort and peace in an otherwise tumultuous world.

Ok,so I just had a fucking thought of a hc where Otto and his boyfriend Norman; teaches Tobey!Peter children how to create weapons and other technological stuff, which culminate in MJ and Peter looking amazed to their children while they look more interested in the Green Goblin's glider (which Norman is very interested in explain everything he could to the little ones and answer their questions) and Octavius who is holding what they just finished creating in hands, with a tired look of having take care of four crazy kids for a evening (Norman included ™️) just go like: "Yep; they're a little bit fascinated by all what science can do, but they just thought it would be so cool to create this tool to help you fight against crime".
Sometimes this is all I need to remember, when I'm in my bad days🌦💓

listen to me, stand up! thank you, friend!
disney employees are starting a full week of walkouts leading to their big walkout on march 22nd, 2022. they’ve asked people to not use disney products during this week. (no disney+, hulu, espn, playing games, watching videos, reviewing/blogging about any of their IP, no going to the parks). this is a targeted and timed action you can concretely participate in.
they’re asking people to also support by using those hashtags and to sign their petition in solidarity.
I’m so happy that my comfort characters exist but at the same time I’m also devastated that they do not exist
the design students
a love of color, living life in the shades of the rainbow
dozens of posters tacked to your walls
learning how to communicate through your art
incorporating your personal style into everything you do
upbeat music through your headphones, the rhythm helping you stay grounded
a keen eye for aesthetics
knowing instinctively which shades will mesh together
frantically sketching new ideas before you forget them
working outside on sunny days
recognizing design techniques in book covers and movie posters
the familiar feeling of your stylus in your hand
a scattering of notebooks across your desk
brightly painted nails
spending hours in photoshop, adjusting each detail
doodling whenever there’s pen and paper in front of you
polaroids pinned to your bulletin board
a fascination with people and how they perceive the world around them
using design to more clearly portray important information
the glow of your computer screen, centering your focus
a pack of your favorite markers tucked into your bag
stickers covering your laptop
finding inspiration in every aspect of the world around you
nothing is as tender as annotating your favourite books. it’s like leaving a piece of your heart on the pages for somebody else to find.
A spider bite. A fleeing robber. A murdered uncle. But as the murderer lies dead at his feet, Peter Parker realizes that if people do not share responsibility for their actions, he has no reason to share his power. And so begins the story of New York’s greatest supervillain; Spider-Man.
this is what happens when you try to reinvent the wheel.
it invites comparisons… and as we can see here, it has failed to deliver.
no shade WHATSOEVER to tom. but in these two promo shots are a WHOLE lot of other people. costumers, hair and makeup artists, photographers, lighting specialists, director, editors. and the shot on the right misses the mark so badly it physically HURTS. all those people had one fucking job and they screwed it up, and let tom and LOKI and all of us down.
LOKI’s expression is SO commanding and powerful on the left for the original avengers 2012 promo photo. his pose is slightly off square, it’s more dynamic and shows off his costume much better. his torso looks strong and imposing, and the width of his chest and more narrow waist contrast each other just as they do in real life. the lighting is also much more effective, with the classic rembrandt light on his face and the edge lights haloing his shoulders and arms, and coat on the left. he looks strong, vital, intelligent, powerful, in control. the way his left fist is slightly lifted gives a sense of energy, motion. and of course the sceptre leading off the frame brings the eye into his body and up to his face. his hair is of course accurate for the person we were shown in the movie, and styled as expected. each hand is doing something different and even if he wasn’t holding anything the angle would mean we would see a different surface of each fist or hand, and that would keep the interest. his expression is compelling as fuck, there is tension in the mouth without pinching, and you get a real sense of THREAT, someone to be respected and reckoned with. which is exactly who LOKI is. whoever edited this image knows what colours LOKI’s armour is, and made sure the edit delivered. BLACK, GREEN, GOLD. beautiful, and good rendering of the intricate detail in his vambraces and other metal details. even the helm is carefully presented. a highly respectful representation of a beloved and important character. bravo.
in the series promo shot on the right, LOKI’s body is fully square to the camera so it has no sense of poised energy, no motion. he’s just… standing there. his fists are more relaxed and shot from the thumb surface which makes his hands look small and uninteresting (a crime where tom hiddleston is concerned). the lighting is poorly executed, they have tried for the rembrandt angle but missed it. too much light on his left side and not enough on his right cheek. the edge lighting is also weak on his right shoulder and the bottom of his coat fades into the background, making him seem wider than he is through the body. also the fit is not great. his lapels kind of hang straight down instead of laying flat on the slope of his chest. LOKI is lean and toned, but this shot makes him look frumpy. unacceptable. due to the angle and relatively flat lighting we can’t see the shape of his figure, or the textures in his costume, which takes away from his power and strength, diminishes his energy and intensity. his hair is… not good. it’s meant to be the SAME as the 2012 poster, since this is the exact SAME person and the same moment in his life? but it’s too short, too puffy, and the style is just wrong. and finally the expression they directed him to assume is pinched, ambiguous, and not strong. rather than seeming powerful, the set of his shoulders is weak and loose. and we ALL know tom can look like anything at all he wants to look like. this is terrible direction and poor photographic execution. and finally (again) the edit is a weird colour, too blue, too desaturated. where is the burnished gold? the contrast between the green wool and the smooth black leather? i kinda wish they just gave him a long mirror and remotely operated selfie camera and told him to go for it on his own. RIP LOKI, you deserve SO much more care and respect than this shoddy attempt. aren’t these people industry professionals for fucks sake? REPRESENT OMG.
#why yes i am a photographer why do you ask? #being a photographer i know that lighting, angles, posing, directing, and editing makes or breaks a shot and THEY SHOULD KNOW IT TOO #seriously i cannot believe they had tom fucking hiddleston dressed as fucking LOKI of ASGARD and they fucked it up THIS badly #yes i know these aren’t the tags #feel free to leave your thoughts below, all respectful remarks welcome postscript: evidence that tom is still PERFECTLY capable of looking EXACTLY like the LOKI we all remember. exhibit A - a shot from his 39th birthday party on set, after day 1 of filming had completed. and i ask you - WHERE WAS THIS LOKI IN THE SERIES? and he wasn’t even TRYING to be LOKI in this BTS footage. with the pale makeup, the LONG flicked hair, and the correctly fitting armour? because he certainly didn’t appear on disney plus. WTF disney seriously??? GIVE HIM BACK!!!
LOKI explaining how Illusion projection and duplication-casting is different is basically just Tom Hiddleston out here giving them the Loki lecture. My man don't play Loki anymore he IS Loki.
This is a good time to remind everyone to swap from Apple to Android the next time they have the means and need to get a new phone
Android phones are almost universally...
Cheaper
More durable
More customizable
Faster & more reliable
Less likely to remove perfectly workable features just because they are "old"
Better for pirating media
Y'all have got to stop enabling Apple's insistence on being a fashion brand rather than providing electronics that respect your autonomy and decision making powers.
Next time you have a choice in the matter, go Android. One minute of being able to actually browse your file architecture without jumping through proprietary bullshit and you'll be hooked, I promise.
My two personalities in a single post.....
Elizabeth: How was your day?
Vitto: Good! I made people cry and run home.
i want a love that thrives on irrationality. writing you letters even though you live 15 minutes from my house. going on night drives that take us nowhere. watching bad romcoms at 2 in the morning. buying you a gift even though it’s not your birthday. writing me a poem even though it’s not mine. taking me on a 45-minute drive to the fringes of the city to watch the stars, despite the fact that the earliest star shower in our area is scheduled for next month. i want us to do things just to do them, because when i do them with you, that’s all the rationale i really need.
Hey, hey, hey! Don't scroll! I have a good news too! I just got a job! I'm starting tomorrow! But the payday is 10th and it's still mostly from my internship and I'm left with about 5€ to live. I bought cat's food and my meds. If you can commission me or support I'd be very thankful! Any amount is great! I just need to make it till the 10th now, I hope so at least. I love you guys! ❣️❣️❣️
What if archive of our own had a Spotify wrapped where they tell us our top ships of the year, longest fics, time spent reading, top fic authors and top tags. That would be so interesting.
I'm no one's dream;
