Genuine question, but how do you deal with knowing it’s impossible to create anything truly original? I’m a huge sci fi and horror fan, I love fucked up concepts and situations, but whenever I think I’ve come across a new concept, I eventually find something that touches upon the same or similar idea, and I lose all motivation to write. Like your story the fluid. I found it poignant and funny, but I just found ‘half a life’ by kid bulychev, and it sounds quite similar

Well I've listened to enough punk bands to know that almost everything has been done before but if you have enough fun with it it doesn't matter. I'm certainly not trying to be truly original, just to do what I like in a way that's fun for me. Sometimes I try to challenge myself to include a different kind of perspective, or an emotion I don't usually try to evoke, or to include an observation or a feeling, or to make something funny out of something that's not, but I'm not trying to think a thought that no one's ever had before. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll happen. Sometimes a wrinkle in your brain will yield something you didn't see coming. But I don't think you can try for it.

My wet little ratty ugly bitch ass girlfriend

oh my goodness. oh my word. I love this so much

It's one of my favorite images ever, a promo for Horseplayer featured in this set of scans by @exdeputysonso

But expanded, and cleaner... and changed from that (beautiful) brooding, haunted, melancholy look to this (incredible) defiant, hunted side-eye! And a tear! (And a chibi Gediman for flavor!)

Oof, the colors... And the hair, and the way it curls around his ear...

OP has really kicked it up another few notches. Wowee. 🥵

Brad Dourif in X-Files + tumblr texts posts

A lot of these images are screenshots of gifs by I believe @godzillawillsaveus so cred to them for that one

Listen... I just like this blorbo a lot.

brad dourif: shit's getting real when they pop the headlights

While fawning over BD’s supernaturally gorgeous eyes, I had to pick just a few gifs to illustrate That Thing where directors highlight him from an off-angle so they seem to glow internally. You know something's about to go down when they bust out this trick.

Problem: The X-Files alone is chock-full of this effect, and there are a gajillion more from other media. So: a dedicated post!

Starting with the ole one-eye highlight — they usually pick the right one, which is a little lifted and turned (I'm calling it his cat-eye):

Cue the lightning!!!

Sometimes it makes an iridescent crescent shape. I know it's meant to be scary, but he's such a terribly pretty boy:

Getting creative with some uplighting and a rare left eye (it's nice to see her getting some attention)...

...And some more extreme angles. How does this even work?!

It's just... captivating. I'm gonna go lie down now. (Think I actually stole all the gifs from @exdeputysonso this time. I'm basically a recycler for all their hard work and tbqh I'm fine with that)
