well he was just as difficult to draw as I imagined he’d be and i don’t particularly enjoy how this came out BUT it was a first try and i think he still managed to look like himself in the end

BUT YES. The One True (Man)Shep.

I’m not good at character analysis or anything so the whole Paragon/Renegade debate is up in the air but i like the scars so i put them in there (let’s call this immediately after Lazarus).

More of him to come because I am in love with this idea ❤

Just discovered that Hulu has basically every permutation of Tenchi Muyo up for free, both subbed and dubbed.

This pleases me greatly.

They also have Blue Submarine No. 6, which I never managed to catch all of, back in the day when it was on Toonami.

First request down! Sanjiolo needed some KarmaCat in his life so I saw fit to oblige.

Real simple doodle. I wanted to do a pic with Shan playing with Kitty’s hair, since that’s what sparked the shipdom really. I call this one “Secret”.

That’s amazing! It really was that scene that started the ship. I mean

She’s not even trying to hide her crush. I loved that Liu wrote them together again. Karma and this ship need more lovin’, thank you so much!

It’s okay to critically analyze your pop culture as if it were literature.

flutiebear:

BECAUSE IT IS.

Pop culture is culture. It IS literature. Every book you ever read for English class, every play and poem and short story, it once was new, and fresh, and contemporary.

Shakespeare was like the Whedon of his time (or the Kripke, or the Rowling, or the Moffat, whoever you like). People lined up to see his plays, they lost their everloving mind over his dirty jokes and innuendos, and yes, they even asked themselves, am I reading too much into this? Is all this really there?

And look, look, five hundred years later we still lose our everloving mind over these plays because pop culture is literature. It always has been and it always will be.

They teach you these skills of analysis and critique in school for a reason. Because they expect you to use them.

So go ahead. Pick apart your pop culture. Examine it from every angle. Dig through canon. Make theories. Read too much into things. It’s okay. You’re not just allowed to do this; you’re supposed to do it, because that’s the point of story: to engage, to inform, to inspire. It’s why we invented it in the first place.

AMEN.

My complete collection of the Granada Sherlock Holmes should be here either today or tomorrow. This pleases me greatly, for I grew up watching it on PBS and A&E. It was a major component of my live-action TV watching.

This means at some point I may spam related things.
