Been working on a rough draft of the poster. Like some of you have posted, sometimes it's nigh immmmmmmmmmmmpossible to get the motivation going, and I've been struggling with that. But I finally got to a place where I wanted to do it more than I didn't, turned down all the critical thoughts, and chipped away at the work.

It's harder casting this than it has any right to be lol. Current problem: who tf do you de-age for Sam and the Frog Brothers?? Or maybe, since this is a reboot AU, they can be older teens or smth. Or fuck it, anyone can be any age, I do what I want.

You can do what you want! Even a draft that doesn't get used is art that showed us a direction to not pursue.

Thank you!!

Yaaaaaayyy!!!!

I would say I'm proud of you, but that would feel like we're family or I'm condescending or some shit. But I'm really happy you're winning the struggle. Because the struggle is hard.

Hmmm... that's a very tricky question... I know it's kind of an AU, but what timeline are you thinking anyway? Would Spiderman fit in your universe?

I think I'd take the last option, though. Do what you want. Your improbable LostBoys/Marvel crossover poster, your rules!!

DUDE. So I totally responded to this the other day, but it was stuck in my drafts and not actually published via email. ARGH. So:

haha, maybe it's American effusiveness, but I'm cool with "I'm proud" proclamations! Thanks!

I'm giving Spiderman a wide berth bc I've discovered in the MCU fics that people lean really, really hard on Peter Parker (and now Shuuri, some others) when they need A Canon Young Person (aka ages 16-22ish) to be in the story, and it's gotten overdone? I'm starting to feel bad for the guy? XD (Not to mention all the people who want to hook him up with Tony Stark (or Deadpool?? but that seems to have a lot of entrenched history), which absolutely makes me break out in HIVES, but I digress.) lol tl;dr: gotta give the man a break and reexamine options.

So yes! Will try to make do. Thanks for this boost of confidence!

You're not the first person to reply in your head to a comment of mine only to realize much later that it never got through the tissue of reality into an actual message. Not even the second person. Probably not even the third. I think we really need the technology to write down our thoughts automatically when replying in our heads.

Aaaah, I understand. I was sort of graspring at straws anyway. In that case, I vote full force for the second option: do what you want with the ages that you want. It's your fucking poster.

My faith in you is inconditional and, at the same time, expectation-free.

You damn well do what you want! *cheers for you*
