When it comes to the whole "object heels" thing, my opinion is basically that sometimes they're clever and cool, and sometimes they're a little too on the nose where they just come across as kinda corny (and downright ugly in some cases)

Overall though, I think the designers at Mattel are over-relying on them right now for Skullector dolls, to the point where they're not really exciting. You can design really cool shoes without defaulting to just slapping an overly complicated shape as a heel and calling it a day. Gen 1, and even Gen 3, have plenty of examples.

what if i gave him curls

what if his hair was curly to begin with but lack of proper care (or him straightening it out to look like a certain someone wink wink) ends up damaging it, and tele teaches him how to take care of his hair again.

what if i did that and it was a metaphor for their bonding, literal and metaphorical growth alongside one another, eventual seperation, neos past and present, his trauma. what then?

@maruyaaya our son. putting him through it. hair holds memories does it not?

Excerpt on Midnight Cowboy from an interview with John Schlesinger in Literature/Film Quarterly, 1978:

Riley: When I've shown the film to students, they have very mixed feelings about the ending. How do you see that? What is that moment to Joe? Is it affirmative, or is it despairing?

Schlesinger: I don't see it as a despairing ending. I feel that it's a catharsis to the whole film. It's a catharsis of a boy who has been lost and who has these strange memories of being picked out for sexual prowess and how important that seemed to him. He has this whole experience of going to New York and finding that the fantasy is total bullshit and that the reality of life there is one of eking out some kind of existence, and then he finds the relationship that he strikes up with Ratso. Some people have said it's a homosexual relationship, but it really isn't per se. It's about the need of one human being for another. I daresay that Ratso- if anybody had found him attractive, man, woman, or dog- would have been anxious to express it physically perhaps. That's why he was so hostile towards it all. But I think that having made a commitment to Ratso, Joe realized the whole ludicrousness of the situation. On the bus he ruminates about the possibilities of what he's going to do, and I think in the back of his mind his taking Ratso to Miami is a kind of gesture. I think he knows it's hopeless. That's what I remember discussing with Jon Voight, that Joe knows they aren't going there for a life together in the future. He knows that Ratso's probably not going to survive the journey. At the end when he sits there with Ratso, I don't think Joe's saying, "Now what am I going to do? I'm lost." I think he's already released himself from the fantasy, he already knows that he's going to be okay.

It certainly never struck me as we were doing it that we were making something that was meant to send the audience out in deep depression feeling that Joe Buck is totally lost, because I don't think he is.

Riley: As a matter of fact, he's saved.

Schlesinger: Yes, and I think he's saved by that relationship, by discovering something about the possibilities of a human relationship in the midst of this very unlikely one. That's exactly what attracted me to the material.

You know I’ve recently been thinking about how wakaba’s black rose sword-pulling thing was notably more violent than the other ones.

Like, with the other black rose duelists, the swords just do their freaky magic sword thing all on their own. But wakaba just goes up and rips that thing out of saionji. The background and lighting turns a bright red, and Saionji screams out in pain as well, while I believe the other duelists are mostly silent (I’d have to rewatch to make sure abt that tho). Idk it’s just so…. shocking(?) I guess to see it from a character like wakaba. That’s probably what makes it so striking to me

There are so many little differences established between wakaba and the other black rose duelists, I love that episode so muchhhh

Did you remember when I mentioned that I had started another redraw of a scene from a tvseries that I adore, and that it would have a Raphael particularly sweet and kind toward his future step-mother???

WELL.

I have the whole storyboard/layout ready, now I just need to do the preliminary sketches and then the definitive sketches (because no, I am not going to lineart and colour this whole thing. it has 5 pages, and I still want to keep my eyesight intact lololol).

IT HAS ANGST, SO BE WARNED.

But considering the time period when this particular moment would happen, between Raphael and Aranea, I think the angst is warranted.

SEND ME ALL ENERGIES SO THAT I CAN FINISH THIS BLOODY THING LOLOLOL

Sparkstember Day 28: The Sparks Brothers

I'm not a movie person... So when I do actually rewatch a movie (I mean, even watch it, at ALL, haha) it must really mean that something is up. I mean, well, it also IS a thorough, highly enjoyable and visually appealing movie about a band that I've been so incredibly invested in for the past several months. So maybe it's a surprise that I don't watch it more often actually. Because one beautiful side-effect of seeing it each time was getting an unexpected and very strong surge of motivation to keep on going towards the things that matter to me the most, despite any and all obstacles that could appear on the way. Another side-effect of it is being happy and joyfull and being filled with warm feelings and thoughts for the whole following day at least. Usually up to 3 days afterwards actually.

But ok, of course, what I'm getting at is that the Maels' story is so incredibly inspirational. Seeing how they persevered through all those years and NEVER lost their spirit or their vision, never gave up... is not only moving but also something that reminds me that wow, so much *really* is possible. I spent so many years fully convinced that there are things that I'll never be able to achieve. And sure, some of them are indeed pretty unlikely to happen. But if you told me from even one year ago that I'd be making art daily and not dreading being so much as perceived anywhere in the great world (so, including the internet)... well, I would have not believed it at all. I really mean it when I say that I used to believe that there are things that I'll just never be able to do. It's like it was simply not meant for me to be able do it and have those experiences. And yet...!

There's a lot I owe Sparks and this is one of the biggest things I'll always be grateful for. They really changed my life for the better. Truly nothing else before them reaches the same degree of how much it helped me. And well, I'm saying this on TSB day because this is where this feeling of gratitude and feeling SO lucky becomes the strongest. And the beautiful thing about it all is that they were always just themselves. They had their vision, they knew what they wanted to do and didn't care about how it would be received. Which is such an important and meaningful message to me, I can't even express how huge it is to me to see these two people who only really had themselves and their endurance and got exactly where they wanted to be.

Alright, some less grandiose observations now. Well, let's start with the fact that this was by no means my introduction to Sparks but it still really cemented my love for them even more. I loved being reminded of their whole journey and learning more about it, and even moreso I loved being able to see more of their beautiful brotherly bond and their wonderful personalities. Truly no other people in this whole world make me as happy as them currently. And the brothers' sense of humour hits super close to mine, so this is also a time filled with genuine laughs (I die laughing at the absolutely true Sparks facts at the end EVERY TIME). And since I'm a huge fan of animation and mixed media art and such things, this was simply a joy to view for my more artistically-inclined side too.

And damn, those two hours and 15 minutes really fly by so fast. When I have to arrange a huge timeslot to watch it all in one go, because that's the only way to do it for me, and then it feels like no time has passed anyway. And even with so much being said there, it feels like there's still so much more to get to. But it's still enough to lift my spirits completely for a pretty long time. And to make me cry a lot of the time too... Absolutely impossible to not shed a tear by the end of it all. It's moving, it's funny as heck, it's super fun and it's absolutely beautiful and truly lifechanging. 💖

THE CLINIC

Pairings: Chapter II - KornTonkla Other Pairings: GreatTyme | WinTonkla

Rating: Explicit

Summary: The Clinic is one of Thailand’s top facilities focused on treating Omegas in heat and Alphas in rut. Patients can rest assured that The Clinic’s qualified medical staff work tirelessly to ensure they receive five-star care during those delicate seasonal periods.

Doctor Tyme Thamin is a specialist and one of The Clinic’s top Heat Alphas. His increasingly senior position has him mainly focused on management and admin, but he’s always prepared to take on special cases. Special Cases like Great Sriwatsombat’s.

The Clinic is also preparing to welcome a new Rut Assistant, Tonkla Anuwat. He is an Omega who absolutely loves his job, and the Alphas he has treated compliment him profusely.

Summary Chapter II: Tonkla is a new Rut Assistant at The Clinic. He loved the idea of his job, but the reality is a bit more boring than he’d expected. That is until Korn arrives. Korn is a new patient. His younger brother recommended The Clinic to him. He doesn’t need any special treatment, but Tonkla’s more than willing to give him a VIP experience.

Apollo

Summary Eddie didn’t have a name. He didn’t have an address, a phone number. He had a bus stop, but that didn’t tell him shit. Well. A bus stop and a sweater. “An ugly sweater,” Gareth had interrupted when he’d heard the tale and saw the thing later that night. His nose had wrinkled in disgust as he reached out to pick it up between two fingers. “Jesus, Eddie, it looks like he shaved Cookie Monster and used the fur to make a sweater.” Eddie didn’t think it was ugly. It was soft, and it smelled like Apollo– that was what Eddie was calling him, this sunshine man whose sweater was now in his possession. Even now, without his golden boy to fill it out, the damn thing looked so inviting that he just wanted to pull it on and roll around in it, like he could absorb that gorgeous scent and glean some information that would let him find his Apollo again.
