#The reflection of others in their eyes

[lady-shadow-and-darkness-da]

I think what amazes me about the animation in arcane is how HUMAN the characters look. Especially their skin, you can see the pores, the lines, all the "imperfections" which are typically covered by makeup in real life, photographed to not appear as such, or is simply neglected in animation in favour of ease.

At first, I thought it was weird. Never seen it before, right? But as time went out it grew to be one of my favourite things about the show. The animation in general is phenomenal, but the way you can see that exhaustion, contempt, surprise or rage or WHATEVER on those painfully human features, just like us, always like us, gets me more than anything else.

Love that Oppenheimer is a deeply disturbing horror movie about a man forced to accept that he is, in a person, the representative manifestation of mankind’s evil in committing one of the greatest horrors of human history - LITERALLY acting as the modern Prometheus, tormented by his sins for the remainder of time. Knowing that he will never be pitied and his actions will forever be utterly unforgivable because the blood of genocide and the potential of total human annihilation will eternally drip from his hands.

But also the simultaneous indictment by the film that to blame a single person for the Manhattan Project is to refuse to accept your own capacity for great evil if the ends ever seem to justify the means, and the culpability of every member of a species that lets itself create something so unspeakably terrible.

Hate that twitter’s take on such a nuanced and brilliantly handled examination of those issues is “movie bad because protagonist not evil enough.”

I'm sorry but the irony of Nico calling Max unprofessional is sending me so bad like sir there's an entire garage full of people, who were literally in the trenches trying to survive the Brocedes fallout while just doing their jobs, who might have a few things to say about your (& Lewis') level of professionalism at that time 😭✋️

Batman doesn't have powers persay, but he does function like a cryptid (a small headcanon list).

For one, he doesn't show up on cameras. At all. Be it by dumb luck or weird coincidence, he can't be seen on them. The cameras always cut to static or break or the footage is corrupted. Like at least a hundred cameras have been put up around Gotham, and despite no one tampering with them, they can never get footage of Batman.

Secondly, he can move in silence. Despite the armored suit and cape, he can sneak up on anyone, including Clark, despite Clark having super hearing. No footsteps, no cape swooshing, nothing. You can only hear him if he wants you to hear him.

Finally, he unintentionally invades dreams. It's a weird situation in which when he sleeps, he accidentally slips into other people's dreams. It's never useful, mostly him just milling about someone else's dream land until either party wakes up. He can't use it for anything and he has no idea if he's actually in other people's dreams or if his own dreams are really weird.

MMMM twins au with danny and dan except its og TUE timeline danny and dan

ok okay i neeeeed o write this down and share it before i explode buT. as the title says. twins danny and dan (who im going to be calling James/Jamie bc i cannot express how much i despise the name dan) where, instead of disappearing into the ghost zone after he's separated from danny's body, Dan rips out Vlad's ghost half, tears THAT in half, and fuses one half with himself and the other with Danny.

Shit happens, and BOOM. Two morally ambiguous and perhaps slightly murderous demonic twins from hell. Daniel James Fenton and his Twin WHose Always Been Here What Are You Talking About :) James Daniel Fenton. They are both depressed, lonely, and one bad day from becoming a mass extinction event :)

this is because i got grabbed by the hair today and dragged into the SVSS fandom screaming and the fanart of Shen Jiu/Shen Yuan/Shen Quingqiu (????) with his fan entranced me. Ice Prince Core is my favorite thing so naturally i have to implant that onto my favorite blorbos ever :)

After the Incident, both their appearances changed and they're practically identical to each other. Sorta. They both have heterochromia and salt-and-pepper hair. But Danny has one green eye and one blue eye and white hair with black streaks, while Jamie has one blue eye and one green eye and black hair with white streaks. I'm iving them both long hair, for funsies <3

nobody can tell them apart, they keep getting confused on whose who and frankly the mix-match hair and eyes make it worse not better asjd. they're horrifically codependent. please do not separate :)

and because i must. im pulling a blood blossom/tales of the passerine and giving them to pre-robin batman. batman and his terrifying demon(??) twins. nobody is quite sure if they're human or not, and the scourge of gotham are a little too terrified to ask.

(they dont HAVE to go to batman while he's pre-robin. however. i think its much funnier that way bc gotham isn't use to A) Batman having kids, and B) Batman having TERRIFYING kids yet. think of all the new fun rumors)

they both use war fans while they're out, and neither of them use their ghost forms because they at least have the remaining empathy to know that they're more likely to murder someone accidentally as a ghost :). Ghost form is for fellow mythicals and Functionally Immortals Only! Not for Squishy Humans.

Jamie: murder. bloodshed. revengggee Bruce: no. no. Justice. peace!! hope! Danny: bittinngggg. blooood. ^-^

They're honestly not bad kids they're just horrifically traumatized two halves of a whole that can never be reunited ever again :).

idk what their vigilante names are but i do know that the underground refer to them in horrified whispers as 'the twins'. this all stemmed from the desperate and sudden urge to see Danny and Jamie, as their vigilante selves, hiding the lower half of their faces with fans and looking terrifyingly judgmental while they do it <333

will and 21!! (If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?)

i looooooove to make him have baby fat on his cheeks. its cute for starters but to me its like. yeah he might walk like an adult and talk like an adult and take charge like an adult but this one is still a boy. his face looks just like it did when he was three when he was eight when he was twelve and watched what was left of his family go up in smoke. you know

Hey I know the common representation of monster-y post apocalypse Jon is him having lots of extra eyes but. Consider.

After the sky splits open, Jon doesn't have physical eyes anymore. He doesn't needs them. His Eyes are the Watcher's, and they See all from where they stand at the top of the Panopticon.

i understand the need to take breaks and pace yourself so you aren't overwhelmed. it's important to take care of yourself so you can keep going in the good fight. i myself usually catch up on news about once a day when i feel equipped for it. that said:

you're just going to ignore palestine for the next three months?

account settings literally already has what youre looking for so if you're set on doing this just use this feature and don't complain to other people about the fact that theyre keeping their eyes on palestine
