I will write a drabble for whoever shows me proof that they voted mumscott. This is an excuse to write and get mumscott to win btw

i offer you my humble vote may i please request a drabble about c!scott of any series (vote is on my main but still)

See the problem with this one is you let me choose and i'm bad at decisions. Give me 3 seconds to decide and i'll be here....

Oh! I know! I've been meaning to talk about this. Here's a little Mumscott (fairly platonic) LAST LIFE drabble :)

-

"I've got the SKULL--" Scott hears Martyn yell at his teammates-- The one who had been invading his basement for an undesired amount of time, now. He takes a sharp turn to look at the bloody Southlanders before starting to yell-- His words mixing with Jimmy's and Martyn's. They break through the exit and Scott tries to burn them and they place water and it's... A mess.

"Guys?! Guys! I'm still here!" A nervous, high voice screams down the stairs and Scott just thinks about how this turned tables.

"Looks like they're gone. We're holding you hostage." He says-- And it's kind of a bait, to see if they're in hearing distance, and they're not... Which is, to say, too bad for Mumbo. And really, there's only one person that can be helped here, and it's the lady screaming down the stairs-- "Who flooded our place?!" Pearl screams and Scott has to keep a giggle to himself.

"The Southlanders. They took our skull, I took their Mumbo." He says, grabbing the man who was trailing behind him by the wrist. Pearl raises an eyebrow, smirks, and says, "Well. That's too bad, now, I guess. We're not giving you back." Scott nods in agreement.

"Meanwhile, why don't you got in this chair?" Scott proposes as he grabs the chair in the corner-- Why do they have a chair in the corner--- He doesn't want to know what Pearl does in her spare time--- While his teammate shoves Mumbo on it. "Well, that's not nice, is it? You're putting me in a chair!"

"Too bad." Pearl teases in a sing-song voice, "It's not even a nice chair. Do you have pens?"

...Well. Scott can't say he expected to be painting chairs anytime soon.

(They ended up with a rather rainbow colored chair in the end. Impulse broke through their wall-- again--- to take Mumbo back. Scott wasn't gonna let them go without getting his skull back, and, of course, kissing Mumbo.)

Here it is! Honestly, with mumscott getting so much more popular in the past few months, I'm surprised this clip wasn't talked about more. You can find it at around 11 minutes in Scott's Last Life episode 4!

May I interest you in some Mumscott propaganda in the form of a fic?

as a mean gills voter, vote mumscott so that we can make a new polycule with ahasbands in tow

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for

not so fast, in the review of gusteau’s anton ego compares gusteau to chef boyardee or hector boiardi with a tone implying that boyardee is dead and in history

given that gusteau died shortly after this and the will takes 2 years after death

assuming that ego’s review was the same year that boiardi died then the absolute EARLIEST the movie can take place is 1987

and about the incredibles, when looking for the scene with the newspaper i stumbled across this

a headline from 2002, and given that lawsuits generally take a while and september to december is really quick for the banning of supers so let’s say they were banned in mid 2003, at the EARLIEST incredibles can take place in 2018, with ratatouille taking place sometime in between 2003 and 2018

assuming that was a mistake, thunderhead died november 15 1958, a date where superheroes would’ve been illegal if incredibles 1 took place in 1962

and adding onto the impossibility of the date being 1962 his death is included in the shutdown reports of the national supers agency

so the year in which the movies take place is impossible to find because the staff of the incredibles couldn’t chose a date and commit to it

I take it back

This is the level of hyperanalystic bullshit I live for

IS NO ONE GONNA MENTION THAT THUNDERHEAD IS GAY?!?!

OMG OMG OMG

May I add something, because I will never shut up about this book (Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark):

Finally, some good fucking advice

THIS. CHANGES. EVERYTHING.

[ID: Text highlighted in yellow reading, “To understand the difference between a good adverb and a bad adverb, consider these two sentences: ‘She smiled happily’ and ‘She smiled sadly.’ Which one works best? The first seems weak because ‘smiled’ contains the meaning of ‘happily.’ On the other hand, ‘sadly’ changes the meaning.

Remember the song ‘Killing Me Softly’? Good adverb. How about ‘Killing Me Fiercely’? Bad adverb.

Look also for weak verb-adverb combinations that you can revise with stronger verbs: ‘She went quickly down the stairs’ can become ‘She dashed down the stairs.’ ‘He listened surreptitiously’ can become ‘He eavesdropped.’ Give yourself a choice.” /End ID]

echo chamber (direct continuation from previous comic, read that first)

[ID: Five panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A turquoise person, a mauve person and a blue person are sitting at the end of a long table. Turquoise is visibly frustrated, slamming their fist into the table.

Turquoise: "Rrrgh I just don't get it!

Green people are getting so much visibility and representation in Garasu Isekai, but these æverthes are complaining anyway??"

Panel 2: A view of the table from a different angle, showing that the remaining people seated there are:

-A pink person -A grayscale-looking person in a yellow hat -A redish-orange person with a red hat -A purple person with an orange hat -A green person in a green outfit with a green hat.

Turquoise: "They're in an echo chamber, right? I mean, nobody here thinks there's anything chromophobic in the new episode, right?"

Red, quietly: "can we talk about any other issue, or…?"

Pink: "I think hating on media that portrays non-chromoformity is so cringe, honestly. I mean, have they considered some people actually look like that? You (indicating the green person) look like that, for example!"

Panel 3: Zoom in on the green one.

Green: "oh uh. haha. yeah. they're literally me. for real for real."

From off-panel: "Yeah see It's not all green people who are like that, some are chill instead."

Panel 4: Different angle of the table.

Turquoise: It's great that we have you here, honestly. You never complain about nonsense like "misoviridy exempt". In fact I've never heard you complain at all! Also, that hint of magenta you've got going? So chroma."

The green person remains silent.

Panel 5: View of green, who says: "Thank you for tolerating me despite other green people sucking so much. I'm not going to complain when you are all, uh, so nice to me. And. I'll keep advocating for you all. There's nothing wrong with that character looking that way. I look like that, and I feel represented."

(Note: The turquoise person pronounced "Glass isekai" with an extremely American R, sounding like a Crunchyroll dub voice actor. They seem to have missed that ガラス just means glass.)

Some of Van Gogh’s best work was done during a period of his life that he spent in a hospital being treated for his mental health problems. I could be wrong but I think Starry Night was among those.

This is consistently the case. Creators tend to do their best work when they are in a healthy place and receiving proper treatment and not being self destructive in their efforts to cope. Go figure.

All our experiences, good and bad, inform what we create, but suffering is not the price of great art. Suffering is what prevents artists from completing great art.

(I bring to mind this @tkingfisher / Ursula Verson quote about once a week <3)

clowning for false life series is a rollercoaster and i think i’m at the lowest point because it randomly hit me like. it was never going to happen. maybe narrative-wise and chemistry-wise she fits in and there’s the audience demand but she was never meant to be part of the institution of life series. there was some hope in 2021 but it was gone and now i’m so sure it’s never ever going to happen. in fact i doubt they will add anyone new to this well-oiled machine. it’s not going to happen 🔥 it’s not over now because it’d been over back then 🔥
