A doodle a day 2025- January!

I set my new years resolution to get back into art (l'm still facing burn out from the GCSEs I swear) and though this would be a fun way to document my year! each doodle has something to do with my day :)

Posted this a little while ago on insta. HaLlOwEeN 🧟‍♂️🧟🌑🎃💀☠️👻👹

Ok I’ve been a little busy but wanted to get this out so here’s the basic line up and a small rundown of the characters

It’s going to be under the cut because man this list is crazy long

Jon- Jack Skellington

This is kinda obvious they are both the MC’s of their own story. But more than that, they both have that untapped curiosity and need to know. I mean Jaco had a whole lab set up in the movie. It could also tie back to Jon with his whole “unrelating need for knowledge and distain for boredom” that he talked about having as a child. In this AU I imagine he didn’t grow out of it quite as much as he did in TMA. Although I would still argue that he doesn’t like being bored in TMA I mean while he’s supposed to be “lying low” he still goes out several times to interview people. He also still has some eye magic things like forcing people to tell him things and going all ceaseless watch. But it’s more magic than fear god and I think eyes are a pretty Halloweeny thing.

Martin- Sally

Listen I’m a Jmart girly all the way and I think he fits her storyline so well. He has her cleverness and ingenuity and I can so see him brewing up different poison soups, it’s just like tea. I can’t remember if it’s a cannon or fannon fact that he knits but I think that goes nicely with the whole seamstress thing sally has. I can’t also see him using the detachable limbs thing a lot more to his advantage. Also I think that both him and Sally are mischaracterized to softer versions of themselves and are way more devious than people first think. I would also change his background a bit so his mom is Doctor Finkelstein, but like she is mad at him for his help but still needs it. It’s complicated and I’ll got over it more in her section. But Martin is a complicated guy with his fair share of mommy issues but a good hear and is way smarter than people give him credit for.

Sasha- The Mayor

Sasha has a lot of big changes to her story. First off she is a very competent mayor working more with Jon kinda like a business partner than blind follower. She runs all of the day to day events and basics of running the town. She does all the business and Jon does Halloween essentially. She likes her job and is very good at what she does, and unlike the NMBC mayor she is pretty much the leader of Halloween town. Sasha’s other face the one she flips to is actually Not-Sasha. She looks and acts completely different but everyone still treats her like the same person. It’s a running gag that Non-Sasha looks a little different every time Sasha flips between faces but nobody ever says anything

Daisy- Zero

Yes I know I’m jumping out of order but it will make sense soon. Daisy and Zero was one part actually story stuff and other parts i thought it would be funny. In terms of story she acts like her season 4 self. She’s Jon’s best friend ever since he he found her as a wandering sprit, vicious and more wolf than woman. Think season 5 daisy but if Jon was actually able to save her. Alongside the help of Daisy’s old partner Jon used whatever Halloween magic he has to pull Daisy’s humanity back to the surface. Im thinking they got stuck in the coffin again, I think that would be pretty funny and very fitting. Anyway Daisy is a werewolf shapeshifting spirit, think of her wolf form as a more muscular Zero. Her nose glows in her human form too :). She’s essentially who Jon confides in and calls him and idiot but then tries to help. She has more of a role than Zero did in the film since she can speak. Daisy was also not very impressed at being the one to lead the sleigh but she did it anyway because Jon’s her best friend and she loves him.

Ok so Tim, Melanie and Basira are going to be grouped together because they are the trick or treaters.

In this case the story was changed a lot so the. Characters were picked not really for personality or relations. But more for continuity so they are all more or less themselves just kinda in Halloween town

Tim- Lock

Tim looks good in Red let’s be for real. He would also make the “devilish good looks” jokes you know he would

Melanie- Shock

Melanie gives off the vibes of someone who would dabble in Wicca, like she definitely owns tarot cards. And besides “ the blind witch” is metal as hell and I think she would appreciate it.

Basira- Barrel

I’m not sure what exactly Barrel is but the bones thing he has going on creates a nice tie back to Jack. Which in turn creates a connection between Jon and Basira which could tie back to the two of them saving Daisy. Basira also sees things for what they are, a sort of “bare bones” logic if you would.

Anyway so the reason the 3 of them are listed together is because in this AU they do still work for Oogie Boogie but it’s not consensual. They are all tied to him via a contract and are forced to do his bidding. Tho they often half ass it as a way to get back at him. Melanie is the one to figure out how to leave and that’s when she blinds herself to get out. I’ll go over the implications of this and what it does later in another post.

On to the villain: if you think the whole contract thing sounded familiar you’d be right

Elias Bouchard- Oogie Boogie

He’s mean he’s green, and Elias would love having a gambling aesthetic let’s not kid ourselves. Elias is also the main character villain of TMA and I think it’s fitting that he also gets the main villain role here as well. I imagine his lair to be less giant roulette table and more bureaucratic mansion. Essentially he built his own Magnus institute in the outskirts of town and people can come and test their luck. More of a poker style table than a role of the dice. He acts all fair but instead of eating people he traps their souls in contracts. He is also made of eyeballs instead of bugs and the ones in his head are called Jonah Magnus.

Peter Lukas- Santa

Yes yes I know what this implies but it’s funny. Also I didn’t know any TMA character that would properly fit this role so why not give it to the guy who probably looks like him. I also think Christmas is partially a conduit of The Lonely. I mean what’s lonelier than spending Christmas by yourself. I don’t even celebrate Christmas and I do feel a little left out sometimes hearing how everyone gets together with the their family and I’m not. What I’m trying to say is Christmas makes a lot of people lonely and I can see the Lukas’ taking advantage of that. It’s also really funny to imagine an Oogie Santa divorce going on. Like I’ll give them more scenes because I can imagine the tension and it’s so funny.

Others 

Martin’s mother- Doctor Finkelstein

This one is more due to character circumstances but I think it’s a very complex dynamic. We know from TMA that Martin’s mother hated the fact that he had to take care of her and I wanted to play on that here. In this world she made Martin this the help of a lab assistant who then ran off after an accident leaving her sick and mostly alone ( yes I know sally has a different backstory in long live the pumpkin queen but I haven’t read the book so I’m sticking with just the movie cannon and my own thoughts). She needs Martins help with taking care of herself mostly but she hates him for it. Yelling and belittling him. But she also knows that without him she will probably die so she holds on to Martin tight. Getting mad when he runs off, guilt tripping him into coming back. She eventually does make a new assistant but Martin cuts off all contact with her. He makes a choice for himself and stands up to her and leaves.

Georgie- human?

Georgie was literally the hardest character to come up with because there is no good character to match her with that is majorly important to the plot but Georgie is a big character in TMA so she had to be here. So I came up with the idea of her being human paranormal investigator ( like in TMA except her podcast is her going out to explore places) and winding up in Halloween town. There is a side plot where she meets up with Melanie and helps her escape Elias’ contract. She has no fear due to the transference between worlds and as such is welcomed into Halloween Town. Although she finds herself starting to change and she isn’t sure if she’s still completely human.

All the other denizens are background TMA characters, or other holiday rulers like Nikola as the Easter bunny ( that one wasn’t a mistake capturing her, Tim just wanted a bit of revenge because she stole his brother. Danny isn’t dead just an egg painter now.) I’ll assign more people later

Since it’s getting into the holiday season I’m thinking about my Nightmare Before Christmas TMA au.

I’ve got nothing but a head full of ideas and I don’t know if anybody want to hear about it

But it’s going to be in the back of my mind for most of December

Since it’s getting into the holiday season I’m thinking about my Nightmare Before Christmas TMA au.

I’ve got nothing but a head full of ideas and I don’t know if anybody want to hear about it

But it’s going to be in the back of my mind for most of December

Work in progress, I hate using acrylics I got the canvas as a gift and decided to paint something I love (Tim Burton films)

maybe saying goodbye to my most oldest and beloved fandom.

I don't want to feel alone on this one

but who's been a nightmare before christmas fan since the 90's ?

Yeah I'm a fan of a movie since I was 5 years old (1999)

And before I felt alone to be the only one in my french town to know it actually existed (and loved it).

But now I feel alone because the fandom has grew (I still view it possitivally don't worry ^^) but I can't seem to connect with the artistic and movie fans.

Maybe I should quit it, because I feel like a drop in the ocean which is this fandom since it has grew from zero to hero, before it was easy, it was what made me, well me!  But I can’t just give up on my all time favorite childhood movie! especially the one where I dare to defy my parents otherprotection by watching it over and over non stop while they were like “Stop watching it! You’ll have nightmares!”.

And oh! For some, the tears trigger in a disney licence were or bambi’s mom or mufasa’s deaths (or both) , to me both of them got a stupid “meh!” from my young simple minded 5 years old self, to me it was when an army guy blow up jack in the sky and when the werewolf howled while sheding a tear that got my breaking point (and I wouldn’t stop crying until Jack got back up with his confidence).         

But I can’t seems to connect with no one of the fandom with that because online I don’t know what curse is upon me, or in the street and I see someone nearby in the fandom and we cross eyes, they don’t stop by to talk a little (even a tiny bit about it) (of course street talk is the most of the stranger danger happening in all the minds I understand that don’t worry^^) but ...... it seems that I can’t have a connection with the fandom. I like the lone wolf (if not the grizabella) of the fandom. So I kinda felt a tiny weedy bit pissed to not have connection with the large growing fandom, I’m like an unknown veteran, the “thanks for giving me your fan love but now I’m popular, bye!” rejected.  

It’s sad............

I love him,,,, best villain and he’s a burlap sack. step up

Jack Skellington is a transmasc icon I will take no further questions on this matter

My top 50 fav movies: part 2

Click here to see movies 50-41 of my list.

Tumblr

Post by @thefullmetalhylianau · 10 images

My top 50 favorite movies, part 1! Number 50: Jaws Jaws was the first of the great blockbusters in America, a classic Man vs Nature film, j

Number 40: Disney’s Tarzan

This was another movie I loved growing up as a kid. In fact I’m according to my mom, I had a Tarzan themed 1st birthday party all the way back in 2000. This is probably the best adaptation of Tarzan out there, as well as the definitive take on the character. It’s a movie about being one with nature and how the world of man would often clash with it. Filled with great characters and great animation, this is the movie that made my love for adventure films become more apparent.

Number 39: Manhunter

Another Hannibal Lector movie for you guys. I know a lot of people have seen the more popular remake starring Edward Norton, but I think the original with William Petersen is far superior. The story of Will Graham and his hunt for the Tooth fairy, Francis Dollarhyde, is told a lot better in this version, as youth truly delve into the mind of a depraved manic who somehow managed to be on the same side of the law. It’s a classic crime thriller and one I’m proud to have watched.

Number 38: Ghostbusters

Now this is a classic, ignoring the sequels and the inferior 2016 reboot, the original Ghostbusters is a perfect blend of raunchy 80s screwball comedy and a spooky super natural film. I think what makes the original version far superior than any of the follow ups is because ghostbusters isn’t afraid to be an adult comedy. Sure it was rated PG, but let’s be real, this isn’t appropriate for kids. And that’s what made it work, it made kids feel like we were in on the joke. Mix that in with a good story, great characters like Ray Stanz and Peter Venkman, and of course an awesome theme song by Ray Parker Jr and you get one of the greatest comedies ever.

Number 37: The Incredible Hulk

This was the only time in which a Marvel movie managed to capture the tragedy of the Hulk. The late 2000s was a turning point in the comic book movie boom, and Hulk here was the first to truly show the world what he was capable of. A tragic tale of a scientist and a monster trapped together in one body, Hulk tells a great story about whether someone with these powers can use them for good or for evil. Definitely recommend it to anyone. Unfortunately the MCU started to become comedic after phase one so movies like the Hulk can’t be made anymore. What a shame.

Number 36: The Nightmare before Christmas

Directed by Henry Selick, before he directed Coraline, this is the film that captures the imagination of childlike wonder. From the excitement and thrill of Halloween to the Joy and Happiness of Christmas. Not only that, it tells a great story about how ambition is a double edge sword. Jack’s sorry about finding his place in a world that overly celebrated Halloween makes for a great character arc, and the villain, Oogie Boogie is probably one of the best Disney villains ever. Such an underrated performance. A great movie to watch during the holidays.

Number 35: Rango

2011 felt like yesterday, I miss it when I was a kid and I wasn’t overly worried about everything going on in the world. Anyways, man this movie feels like a rush. A classic throw back to westerns with a modern and meta twist. Rango is the type of movie you’d never expect to be produced by Nickelodeon of all companies. And that’s another thing, this was produced by Nickelodeon. The same company that makes SpongeBob and Dora, made Rango. Let that sink in. I love it when kids movies tell a very mature story and Rango is no exception. It’s about standing up for what’s right and helping the little man. Now time to walk into the sunset.

Number 34: South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut

1999 was a really good year for animation. It’s funny how this movie would go on to predict America and Canada’s decreasing freiendship… damn you reality. Anyways, this is basically what happens when overreaction takes over society and how the act one of person can change everything… Mrs Browfloski. That’s right, she’s the real main villain of this movie. Anyways, not much to say but if you’re a fan of south park, you’re definitely gonna love this movie.

Number 33: Avengers Endgame

You HAD to be there during the endgame hype everyone. This is where the MCU should’ve ended, it is such a mind blowing adventure. A perfect conclusion to Tony Stark and Steve Roger’s stories and what would’ve been a great send off to a series. Unfortunately the show must go on. But hey, at least we can remember the good old days.

Number 32: Psycho

Surprisingly this is the only Alfred Hitchcock movie on my list, which I think is a real shame because the man has directed a plethora of amazing flicks. But if I had to choose one, it’d be Psycho. This movie was the first of what would inspire the slasher genre of movies as we tell the story of a normal looking man named Norman Bates, who is actually a cold hearted killer. This was probably the last of the traditional universal Gordo movies to be released but they went out with a bang for this. And at least it’s better than that shitty ass remake. Ugh.

Number 31: How to Train your Dragon

Ignore the live action remake, this one right here is the true version of this story. The real deal. I remember seeing this movie as a kid and it blew my mind. Hell, it still blows my mind for how epic it is. I’m honestly stunned by how well the animation held up. Especially with its great soundtrack, story, and characters, you feel like you truly are riding a dragon here. I’m bowing down to this flick.

Well that’s all for this list. Tune in next time for movies 30-21 of my top fifty favorite movies list.

If Die Hard is a Christmas movie cuz it takes place on Christmas then that means by the same logic Oogie Boogie's Song is a christmas song since it also takes place on christmas

Nightmare Before Christmas Magazine

One of my art projects for school was to make a magazine mock up using the painting 'American Gothic' as a base. While I hate how the final product ended up due to the software we had to use, I still rely like the sketch and wanted to post it here.
