I've seen a very similar one where a man takes a picture of a woman with a cat in the background, AIs it out, & then the cat and woman browbeat him to return the cat.

Glad I just ruined 3 glasses of water to get that done! Like what the hell.

I've been waiting for this one. Godspeed.

Was she an influence on your interpretation of the character?

Pickled watermelon white is great on salad!

Hey either way it's a solid ish'!

I don't usually highlight serendipity posts like this, but come on.

CW superman origin tv show from 20 years ago. It's mostly a monster of the week series & he doesn't wear the suit until the finale. People loved it

It was my first exposure to him & bygod what an exposure.

And it's a great (though brutally short) run!

@maffewgregg.bsky.social I did another one #aew

@maffewgregg.bsky.social IDK how to submit for botchamania but I hope this works okay! Have a lovely day

Crow Country landed very nearby vibes to me.

I have no fuckin clue. It drove me nuts watching it & I stopped when the Robin reveal happened because it was like the 8th time in 250 episodes we'd done this.

God wait until you find out about Robin, lmfao.

You figure a way out of it? Mine is still just spinning

wip

And yes I recognize that sounds insane.

Iirc he knew a gay man with no legs named Frenchie who was a pilot.

... is this about a rat being scared about its owner having hiccups or an owner being scared about its rat having hiccups?

The show made me bisexual and gave christopher judge a name I can't be TOO mad. Have fun on the rewatch.

(Also Michael Shanks is foine as hell, even with the bad hair cuts)

Oh gosh just wait til the end of the first season when they do the *gender* episode.

Hey the replicants or replicators or whatever they called the grey goo spiders looked like shit in a special way to me, emotionally.

Paddington 2

I started editing again today after about a year. Davinci Crashed and I just had dread, I knew how long it'd been since I last saved.

Opening it back up to where my last transition placed blew my mind.

Reed, in disbelief saying "He activated the IMPREGNO-LOCK inside!"

Reed slightly jostling Sue in an attempt to calm her. "You've got to snap OUT of it!" Sue says "I can't HELP it, dear! I've never felt so -- so APPREHENSIVE!" Reed thinks: "Some may LAUGH at a woman's intuition -- but-- sue's never been WRONG Before!" god what a feminist, I swoon

Ben reading a horror book gripin on it. as a hand reaches for his shoulder. As the hand grasps his rocks, the lights cut out. Panel one, looking mad as hell and in light Ben says: "Aww, who'd be dumb enuff to fall for stuff like THIS? These yarns must be written fer KIDS or somethin'!" Panel two, from a head on angle, the book sightly lowered lights out, and ben looking wigged out he says "You don't catch a SOPHISTICATED guy like me gittin' hung up with-- with-- I don't remember nuthin' on my SHOULDER-- when I STARTED readin'--!"

Day 49 of FF posting thru screenshots and I must say, there's some good thriller feel to a book occasionally. It doesn't elevate to scares beyond a good goosebumps, but it really feels great. Also Reed Richard is canonically in a c-cage according to the first panel here and that's just great.

Yellow dodads making a simplified house shaped pentagon with a eventually intersecting bars of orange as the human focus for it reveal a window into the negative zone. Reed Richards in the foreground hosting this machine with Ben even more in the foreground shocked. What they see is a scale less blue ghost insect person with winged arms and Hugo Strange's glasses. Behind it there are blacks and purples of space. The first peak into the negative zone is stunning in a way I find hard to articulate beyond just going 'look at that'! Reed says "Don't you realize how URGENT this is-- how much DEPENDS upon it??

Day 48 of posting FF screenshots thru my readalong. I'm just going to highlight one thing today. The Negative Zone. This splash page that has been duplicated or replicated by many an artist including recently by the legendary Alex Ross in Full Circle. Just a gorgeous display of talent & wonder.

BP gassing the fuck outta Sue. Green gas shooting from his four finger tips sans thumb. BP says "You are fortunate in ONE respect, young lady! Unlike the claws of my namesake, MINE have the power to emit a harmless SLEEP GAS!" Sue, dozing the fuck off saying "Ohhhh...!"

Klaw's vibro elephant made of sound they're all red for some reasons. It looks CRAZY.

All 4 FF members hands on Black Panther's back pushing him forward (Only 3 are drawn but I assume Sue's is invisible there for equality) Reed says "There's no reason for the BLACK PANTHER'S Career to come to an end! The world will ALWAYS have need of a dedicated, powerful fighter against injustice!" Johnny says "Reed's RIGHT, fella! The way things are going today, you never hear of a super hero being out of work!" Ben agrees "Anyway, with a costume like THAT, ya can always become a RASSLER, or a new kinda FOLK SINGER!" BP says "I shall DO it! I Pledge my FORTUNE, my POWERS-- My very LIFE-- to the service of all mankind!"

Cover page showing Klaw's new look and pitching him. Text "The Fabulous F.F. are trapped by the uncanny return of KLAW The MURDEROUS MASTER OF SOUND!"

Day 47 of FF posting thru my backlog of screenshots & playing awkward catchup if I forgor. Day 3 of BP posting & I will say, I end up more positive than negative. There's gutter racism, but his grief, skill, & personhood are real. There was maybe a good intention S&J were aiming at that is lost now.

Ben looking at BP sympathetically while Reed looks at Ben unsympathetically. BPs face is obscured so it's hard to say how he looks. Probably annoyed based on... Ben: "Look, kiddo -- why dont'cha save yer-self the trouble? I know the rest by HEART! Every-thing wuz hunky dory until the greedy IVORY HUNTERS made the scene!" Reed: "BEN! For the LAST time, will you remember that we're his GUESTS?!" Black Panther: "Do not be con-concerned, Reed Richards! I realise my tale may sound contrived to you!" Ben: "You aint just whistlin' WATUSI, Pal!"

BP as a kid mourning over his dad's body in the foreground. Caption "In that split-second, my boyhood ended -- as the new CHIETAIN of all the Wakandas was born" (TG's note they call the people of Wakanda 'Wakandas' in the early years for some reason) Baby BP: From this moment forth -- I live with but one thoguht -- one aim - one goal!! This deed must be AVENGED! Klaw shall PAY -- in FULL MEASURE! I shall be as strong-- and as earless-- as the sacred BLACK PANTHER!! This do I swear to T'chaka -- my father who is no more!" And Here's out dicey caption box at the bottom: "To the male wakandian, the black panther represents a figurative god image, and is considered to be a sacred being -- as the cow is venerated in India! -- Religious Fanatic Stan."

Ben holding up a gizmo above his head with a grumbly look on his face. BP watches in the background, grinning like a loon. BP says "No, my grumbling, gregarious, gravel-voiced friend.. I do not PUT YOU ON! You hold in your hands the most powerful portable EXERCISER on earth! IT can generate a force equal to the press of TEN TONS for you to test your strength against! I trust it will afford you many pleasant moments of relaxation!" Ben thinks: "Exercise?!! That's the ONE thing a cracker like me DON'T need!.. But I ain't got the heart to TELL 'im that!" Ben says: "Yeah! It's the cat's pajamas! It'll keep me offa the STREETS, anyhow!" Ben thinks again: "Come to THINK of it, this Gizmo ain't BAD! And it's cheaper'n Vic Tanney's!"

Day 46! FF screenshots, problematic language & rep, color errors. This post has everything. My voice doesn't really matter here, as a cracker. I just know I should call it out that this is the portrayal. He is an important character & it sucks BP is given this poor welcome. He isn't even named here.

It has basically every QoL fix you'd want in the FromSoft format that even today they haven't implemented, thereme tons of ways to play & it's gorgeous.

Only knock is that the levels are spoke & wheel rather than a layered circleback experience but every level is built for shortcuts & immersion.

I did! He also seemed real annoyed at Stan on the phone. 'Nuff Said
