What gets me is Sanjuro, Aliens, and Mad Max Fury Road are perfect sequels; they get exactly the feel of the original while telling a related yet very different story. How do you peg that different-enough energy?

*sigh* I really wish I could afford a studio apartment, or my housemates weren't here as often. They're awesome people but fuck, this place feels really crowdy sometimes.

Hey kids, want a hot take about furry fandom?

Furry fandom is actually *less* like comics and sci fi fandom, and more like filkers (you're pretty much already a fan), model railroaders and tabletop roleplaying gamers (there's some big companies whose content gets a following, but for the most part it's pretty DIY).

This gets fiddly when you make sequels because it means being in love with the first movie, so the energy's different.

It makes sense you'd try to make lightning strike the same way twice and fail (James Cameron, Wachowski sisters).

Clearly a new person can fall in love and make an awesome sequel eg (Aliens) but they too can fail (Last Jedi). I'm not quite sure how you manage to pull off that "I'm in love with [first movie] and pull on [first movie's inspiration b/c it's still awesome stuff]."

Starting to think there's a really fiddly balance in movie-making.

If you're in love with something, it'll show through in your movie and grab viewers; Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Bladerunner, The Matrix, Young Frankenstein (which I think really works because unlike other Brooks tributes, he's legit trying to make his own Frankenstein movie).

off topic, have you ever realized you can sing noteworthy anime director/awesome artist Yoh Yoshinari's name to the chorus of Sade's "Smooth Operator"?

Just practice off reference right now,, trying to figure out more about #drawing architecture. I knew how to do this, but I didn’t know I knew how until I drew a batch, I’m happy about that.

aaaayeh.

Let's stay off birdsite.

Since my followers on Tumblr are either porn spammers with photos of naked women, OR people who like my art and are therefore TTRPG nerds, it was probably eventually inevitable that I'd get followed by a TTRPG nerd who likes my art and also posts a lot of photos of naked women.

YES I KNOW MY ENEMIES!
THEY'RE THE TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT ME!
COMPROMISE!
CONFORMITY!
ASSIMILATION!
SUBMISSION!
IGNORANCE!
HYPOCRISY!
BRUTALITY!
THE ELITE!

so my housemate was playing a batch of 80s, and offered to play something 90s to make up for it. *They* suggested RAtM, not me, but yeah, that's way more me. Because yeah, fuck the 80s for being an era of shitty abuse, whitewashed murder, and fucking collaboration.

#drawings from today. More playing with setting.

I just ground my hips for the entire duration of “Sweet Dreams Are Made of These.” Not bad for a straight-appearing [actual age redacted] eh?

Re last boost;

BLUE MOON YOU SAW ME STANDING ALOOOOONE

nnngh.... rrrr... burning up!

WITHOUT A DREAM IN MY HEART WITHOUT A LOVE OF MY OWN

rrrrrgh... help me...

Friday’s “happy hour” is as crowded and intimidating as an actual party. So I grabbed a beer and hid at my desk, pencilling/inking stuff for customers. I still have so much stuff I owe customers, I just barely have the spoons a lot of days y’know?

So the CDC is slashing international disease prevention programs by 80%, because the funding’s not there (rather than due some direct decision by 45 appointees). When I was younger I thought I’d go from my family’s trend towards heart disease, but now I’m increasingly convinced that I’ll die as a result of this administration’s shitty budget, environmental policy, police or supporters, and I really resent them for this.

So today’s deep hole of Wikipedia involves anything related to Emperor Nikephoros Phokas II, and frankly, “Bardas Skleros” has to be one of the most badass names in medieval history (the actual guy was a badass).

So I’ve been really angry about politics (and associated stuff, like hate crimes and birdsite/Facebook collaboration) lately. I think what this might be is I had so much crushing my emotions and personality at New Tech, that my current anger at the situation reflects having more energy in general.
