#AND FIXER BEING FIXER

[celtrist]

Was looking at the hotel for a drawing and never realized the large degrade from the pilot design (on the left).

I think it was a good choice to simplify it down as the OG design was VERY complex compared to the new design (and some things like the carasoul up top didn't work well considering Alastor was moving his tower up to there). So while I like the pilot hotel more, 100% good move to change it to what we got.

HOWEVER, the pilot design gives that dingey, rundown feels SO MUCH better than the final design. I think background-wise the pilot is better in a lot of ways (like with colors, having them less saturated than the characters). But the hotel in the official series, especially the interior, didn't look as rundown and dingey as I think it was meant to.

You could argue "well Alastor could've spruced it up", but we see in the episode "Dad Beat Dad" a chandelier falling, cockroaches, and Lucifer clearly supposed to be unimpressed with the place. But the show had a very clean and nice looking hotel both interior and exterior. The pilot was good with it being dark and dirty feelings on both these ends. While the final design was super clean-looking but SUPPOSED to have a "roughness" to it, the pilot had a really nice exaggeration of its roughness that gave it a lot of character and made it more interesting. Between the two, I'm more interested in what's inside the pilot hotel than the final design. And it sorta sucks because season 1 ALREADY had the hotel rebuilt all nice and pretty (which like Lucifer showing up, SHOULD'VE been saved for a later season. I get why they did it, but I think the risk of not doing it in season 1 would've had a stronger payoff in the later seasons).

Again, I think it was obviously the right call not to make the hotel so complex for the show. However, there's a stronger mood and personality to the pilot hotel over the final one that feels like it wants to look super nice but it is supposed to be seen as rundown and needs to be fixed-up. And that sucks because I would've loved seeing the rundown place, but we really just got a nice-looking hotel that, in the universe, isn't supposed to be seen as "nice looking" or "clean" (and issues with the hotel concerning its structure and everything was ONLY brought up in "Dad Beat Dad". Little details like a character saying the plumbing was broken AGAIN or things breaking/falling in the background or something would've gone a long way).

It's just a bit of a bummer that the hotel really lost the mood and personality that it did have in the pilot when I really think they honestly could've kept those aspects without making it super complex. I don't dislike the final hotel design, but I don't like the lack of personality and mood it's SUPPOSED to have that the other design achieves.

he is cryi8ng i cant do this s🥀

[hyperblue]

you know how tim never actually wanted or planned to become robin? and how for a long time he was sure that he's not going to do this for the rest of his life and how once he'd gotten a chance he would put down the mantle immediately? so about that

i know that a lot of things changed as he got older and shit hit the fan multiple times, but i can't help but think that cloning a child would finally give him just enough of a reason to finally let go of being a vigilante. because as much as he learned to love being a hero, being robin, the moment he has this child is the moment when he decides yep guess that's it for me. and one of the main reasons is, deep down inside he still waited for this excuse. for something to force him into making this choice for himself. and nothing could've forced it better than realizing that there's plenty of vigilantes in gotham right now, but his child only has him, and his child needs him much more than gotham or even batman has ever had.

So like, did anyone notice Rindou lives alone in my cyberpunk au? Like... i didn't mention Ran once lmao

I cannot even be lmaoing cuz the reason isn't lmaoable at all

Ran isn't alive in in this alternate universe. I don't think i'll get into this in much detail tbh. But i do wanna ramble about it somewhere.

His cause of death? An Aptroid killed him.

I like to think their lives before his death were a lot more eventful. They were rebellious, went partying, Rindou was probably a part-time DJ. They have plenty of allies and connections, but also some enemies. They got into fights a lot and tended to each other's wounds, they celebrated each other's birthdays, they bicker about what to have for dinner. And Ran is just, gone one day.

Rindou isn't fond of Aptroids to begin with, most people aren't. But he knows not every Aptroid was designed to do the same things, he hates the ones that mega corporations use for combat. Agents, soldiers, bodyguards, he hates them all because their kind killed many innocent people and moreover, they killed his only family.

And Rindou was right there, too. Right there when his brother's life was taken. Rindou was all beaten up himself, but he still tried to save him. He still tried to reach out to him, and not only was he too late, he lost his arm in the process. Sometimes he wished he had just died that day, but he lived after getting his ass saved by Koko (i like to think koko is like a fixer in cyberpunk 2077).

He lived with one arm for a few days until he realized it was probably about time to get a cybernetic enhancement of sorts. He'd be stronger and protect himself more easily with it. And when that thought crossed his mind, he realizes he still has some will to live after all. Oh and ever since that day, he started taking on all kinds of jobs with the help of Koko's connections to clients in need. Rindou started getting known for his combat skills and his jobs have been more dangerous ever since.

When he gets his new arm, he thinks it's a shame Ran couldn't see it. He'd think it's really cool—he'd even get a matching arm on his right side. Matching tattoos, matching cybernetic arms, having each other's backs, Rindou longs for the days he's still around.

It's no wonder he was so on edge when he first met you in his apartment. Well, at least you're just a companion model and not some spy.

OFFICIAL SoBH BILL CONCEPT ART!!! (Triangle version because ↓↓↓)

Keep in mind, I'm not a visual artist, this is concept art, and therefore I cannot be judged.

[binnarystar]

i can't think of fictional characters (delta squad) too hard, or else i'll start crying

[elftism]

maybe it's just the other social medias I'm on but the project moon fandom is like, really, really, REALLY bad at not spoiling things

I see people everywhere being super open about things that are hidden from you till endgame, like A being named Ayin, X/the player in LobCorp also being A/Ayin, love town, anything that came out of the most recent canto, and especially everything to do with Roland. why are people just dumbing him down to 'dead wife guy,' '🎹' and openly calling him the black silence lmao?

I'm really glad I waited till finishing the games to search stuff up about them but even without doing that I saw the eventual fight with Roland being spoiled in the most random ass place along with that cg of garion being made into binah

maybe I'm too used to other fandoms but it only takes 5 seconds to put a spoiler tag on things 🥲

Okay but “Fixer Upper” from Frozen can actually make a banger klance animatic??

Like the team is trying to set both Keith and Lance up while also simultaneously clowning them because you think that with all the goo goo eyes made to each other they still arent dating yet.

IF ONLY I HAD MORE FREE TIME I WOULD DO IT MYSELF DAMMIT !!!!!

Sorry there wasn't much in the way of liveblogging this morning; I had a hunch they weren't going to... really stick the landing, so I watched it through first then went back to grab caps of moments I had Thoughts on.

I don't think I even wanna list my Issues with this as I did for episodes 7-9. It feels like too much but also too little (because it feels so little happened in these three episodes, and it was mostly stretched out sequences only focusing on 1-3 characters of the same groups the party's already been split into).

The idea of a show-constraint rewrite (keeping the same goals they had, limiting number of scenes / internal POV thoughts and episode numbers) coincidentally sounds like a fun challenge now, though... there's so much good in this season, so much love, and I can see where the team wanted to go. But I can also see better ways of getting there, and want to prove it's possible - that this story can be told in television. That it's not Campaign 1's fault, but a lack of clear direction, setup and good pacing.

never give your 100% at work, people will remember and ask for it again

[elvenbeard]

Spending some quality time each doing their own thing :3

[arccomplex]

being a fictive of an extremely problematic character sucks. what do you mean that I'm scared to talk in a syscord just because I look like my source? what do you mean I had to give myself a different name because of how badly my character is hated (justifiably!) in the fandom? WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HATE MY OWN SOURCE CHARACTER???
