"Don’t you understand? When you’re standing on their side, you’re the bizarre genius, the miraculous hero, the force of the rebellion, the flower that blooms alone. But the second your voice differs from theirs, you’ve lost your mind, you’ve ignored morality, you’ve walked the crooked path."
Never shared these photos from earlier this year-- I LOVE these pics so much, and they feature the new undershirt I made for Wei Wuxian so the brand can peek out and cover my binder.
(Fun fact: I'm currently planning another Yiling Laozu outfit based on the Japanese stage play...)

Omg, I haven't posted in so long... So many things have happened over the last month or so: I got sick, my mum got sick and I had to take care of her, I missed a shit-ton of classes because of that, and I lost my stylus!! Plus a buncha other crap, so on top of it costing like $60 to replace my stupid pen I was just so exhausted 😮💨
Here's me playing catch-up, so enjoy!
Enough Goncharov. I want to see more discussion of revolutionary 1928 film The Dancing Cavalier starring Don Lockwood and Lina Lamont (and the uncredited voice of Katherine Selden)
I want more discussion of S. Morgenstern's original unabridged version of The Princess Bride. It's so irritating that it's now literally impossible to find anything other than Goldman's abridgement. And this is presented as a good thing! Some of us like complicated social satire, William! Yet all that brilliance has been thrown out so we're left with only the parts that are comprehensible to a ten-year-old boy! Absolutely maddening!
Wait wait wait Katherine Selden was in that movie?! How did I not recognize her voice, I tracked down so much grainy footage of her role as Wilma in A Night of Music when I was a kid just to hear her high notes in the bridge of Winter Song! *sigh* I guess I need to go watch The Dancing Cavalier again, it’s been ages since I’ve seen it. I just remember that green dress Lina Lamont wears in the second half, I want it so bad.
No yeah the crediting situation around The Dancing Cavalier is SO weird.
Apparently at the time it came out you could barely AVOID knowing she was in it? It was a massive scandal on opening night because apparently everyone was REALLY invested in Lina Lamont (who I'll admit I'm not really a fan of in other things, but then I don't watch a lot of silent film and that was her niche), and the revelation that she wasn't the one talking OR singing absolutely torpedoed her career. Wild that lipsync controversies are as old as film with sound.
BUT, on the other hand, Katherine Selden wasn't formally credited anywhere in the film itself. I have a vague impression there were contract complications with her or Lina Lamont or both? But the upshot was, even though it literally launched her career, she's not "officially" in it. And so, nowadays, it's really easy even for people who love Katherine's voice and old films to assume it's actually Lina Lamont singing!
Look, I'm not going to defend Lina Lamont's actions, because she really did try to screw Selden out of getting any recognition for her work. However, she was trying to survive in a rapidly changing film landscape that seemingly had no use for actresses with unconventional voices. If you're only familiar with her from The Dancing Cavalier and the few comedies she did in the 30s, it's worth going back and watching a few of her silent movies to see what she was like as a leading lady. Most of them are lost media now but The Royal Rascal is really good and actually has a very sweet love story. Plus Don Lockwood got to swordfight and we all like that lol
This is Cosmo Brown erasure! Half of what we love about The Dancing Cavalier is his music--sure, every song is a classic, but don't forget the Garden Theme! When she says "our love will last 'til the stars turn cold" with that melody behind it? I cry every single time.

my first aika drawings!
it's so funny when people say they've been following the development of these characters for years when it's only been 7 months LOL. it does feel like it's been forever
A scribbly little Zib! This guy has been my favourite since before I even properly sat down to read the comic. I love his eyebrows (said in as non-creepy a way as possible)
For those of you that may have just finished watching Cory Booker’s record-breaking senate speech and are inspired to “get in good trouble”, you have a great opportunity for it this Saturday!
On April 5th, numerous advocacy groups are banding together into one nation-wide rally that will be held in major cities all over the country - you can easily find a participating location here!
I’ll be volunteering as a safety captain at my own local rally, and I encourage all of you to go out there too and get in some good trouble as well!
for the record when I say a lot of major cities I mean a LOT of major cities :P
Really been enjoying seeing the tags from folks realizing how close some of these local protests are loving these vibes 👌👌👌
And as a final reminder this protest will be taking place TOMORROW ARPIL 5TH!
you can decide how we got here lmao
also little reference for this piece because i giggle at it
how long will the episodes of the show be? same length as the pilot? and how many pages of the comic will be in each one? and i know this is a ton of questions but will it just be a straight adaptation of the comic? or will it have other things thrown in, like for example Mordecai doesn’t appear a whole lot in the first volume of the comic, will he appear more in the show than he did in the comic?
Episode 1 is similar in length to the pilot. It's not a straight adaptation of the comic. The season encapsulates Volume 1, and there are some sequences that run very close to what's presented in the comic, but it also contains entire chunks of material - scenes, conversations, flashbacks, music - that have never appeared in the comic. Because of that, I can't really compare page numbers with episodes.
Coming back here after 10 years, but let's try this again! Here's my Orym cosplay to celebrate the 10 years anniversary of Critical Role ! I'm working on Molly right now and can't wait to cosplay more characters of Critical Role in the future ! And really excited to watch campaign 3 wrap up !!
