A Little Insanity, A Lot of Shadows

I write, I sketch, I make videos. I post primarily fanfic/liveblogging of games [Currently: Assassin's Creed, Dishonored, Final Fantasy, Jak & Daxter, RvB, Hazbin Hotel, Undertale] - I am also a trans man in his 30's and technically 'Fandom Adult' so take that with salt.

I’ve had a lot of new followers lately, several of you guys showing up due to Run It Again and the rest I have no fucking clue but I feel I need to be very clear about something to everyone.

I am in my thirties and I grew up under a goddamn rock. I literally do not understand some things--I had no fucking idea what transgender was until I was in my mid-twenties, for example.

So if I say something that makes you go “ew” or upsets you or post something that makes you uncomfortable or is “problematic” (scare quotes because that word itself is a loaded gun) or ANYTHING I need you to tell me because literally I grew up under a rock.

I am an autistic and socially inept man. There are things I just do not understand or am completely ignorant about. I want to know, I like to be educated, so please--tell me if I put up something that is upsetting. Tell me if I should be tagging something I’m not (which I know I’m very bad at sometimes). Just...tell me. I’m literally the socially ignorant thirty year old man who grew up as sheltered as sheltered can get.

....my mother still thinks Nightmare Before Christmas is a horror movie and not technically a Christmas movie and I still haven’t seen it, and I had to tell my homeroom teacher in high school that I could not watch that movie that’s how fucking controlling and sheltered I grew up.

I learned about gender through cosplay, and began my gender questioning journey due to the same for fucks sake. I’m an ignorant, socially inept, fool. Please, please educate me if I come across as an ignoramus. I promise you its not because I’m dumb it’s because I literally grew up under a godsdamn rock.

Murderbot face reveal + bonus awkward Gurathin interaction!

Plus the trailer is dropping today or tomorrow!!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

I’m watching Splash (1984) which is a romcom about a guy who falls in love with a mermaid, and when she chooses a human name she chooses Madison and guy says “that’s not a real name, but alright” which seems to imply that Madison was not a name until at least the 80’s and all girls named Madison are actually named after the mermaid. thought you should know

I think...you might be right

what the fuck

I know the internet is full of hyperbole but I can honestly say that[to me] every Superman production has missed the mark on the Clark/Superman difference until now. I can confidently say that because it’s irked me for years.

This might be the first production to actually really get into the weeds with some simple changes, use lighting, costuming, hair&makeup (peep the contour!)to convey that Clark and Supes look nothing alike. This is so cool to me!!!!! They finally did it.

Shout out to the departments. Shout out to whoever realized they needed way bigger (longer)eyeglass frames with a thick bridge that would alter the appearance of his nose making him unclockable. Whoever you are, I love this work. I love how the base of the cape on the shoulders and the collar work together. It gets the job done but also looks like it was comfortable to wear during hours of shooting. I love that supes has a bit of contouring in the makeup differing from Clark. Shout out to whoever decided to make Clark’s suits oversized and flimsy! It accurately demonstrates Clark’s attempt to look like a little fish in a big pond. He’s not just like that; everything is a choice with him.

Shout out to Peter King and Lindsay McCallister on the hair design/hair story. They did their big one. Clark’s hair is such a big change(so fluffy and undressed!) and accurately shows how someone would manipulate their curly hair to change their appearance. Superman’s hair really works. Honey, that hair is dressed! It is reminiscent enough to please fans but different enough to feel fresh. I like that it’s rounded on top instead of square.

Also I’ve never seen this actor before in my life but he is embodying my man in the trailer so that is also exciting. I don’t even care if the movie is good. I’m a bit over hero movies but I love me some Supes. Everyone seems to really be invested in the visuals of this project. The commitment to color is commendable after years of dark grey low lit mess. Anyway…

I love new faces. I love movies! I love departments! I love unions! I hate David Zaslav!

We never really talked about it but The Ugly Ducking that grew up to be a beautiful swan was still probably pretty fugly from a duck’s perspective

Like that story isn’t about an ugly duckling that grew up sexy, it’s a fucking swan was judged as a duck and hated itself as a duck until it found out it wasn’t a duck and stopped trying to be a duck.

The actual ducks in the neighborhood were probably still looking around at perfectly normal swans like “damn, look at those busted ass ducks”

This is pretty important, actually. The good ending is finding the other swans, not tearing yourself to pieces trying to impress the ducks.
