The Pineapple Ponderer
The LIGHTING on the reference photo bewitched me. I learned the term 'tenebrism'. I used the chalk brushes in Krita for the first time. I stole a 12 colour palette from a Norman Rockwell image. Three days of paint-over work in one layer. (Check out his eyes!)

this fandom is not big enough for me to go on about how aaron's relationship with justine was so much more complex than what we gather from the book but i kind of feel crazy about it and this line makes me feel insane and i hate it
#gonna rant in tags but#to just chalk up all his connections to justine based on fear feels unfair#dont forget he tapped into his creativity to please her. not because he was afraid but because he wanted to be useful and special#he wanted more than what his parents got. justine made him feel special and important#and while to her he was simply someone useful#to him she was someone powerful and imposing and strong. but most of all. in control#aaron talks about control a lot and marcus SPECIFICALLY SAYS JUSTINE IS SCARED OF LOSING CONTROL#aaron feels the same they parallel each other sooooo perfectly#her control is something he saw and WANTED#the respect he had for her wasnt fear!!! it was. longing? admiration?#he wanted what she had. he saw someone who was never afraid or stressed#and he WANTED that#he spent his childhood in fear of being sent to his death. especially w alex and everything#justine wanted to preserve what she had and wanted to feel in control so she could stay where she was#ugh. UGH! WHATEVERRR#tzu rambles#the unwanteds

I just found out about branding paddles and holy shit, Alex would own one
Abso-fucking-lutely he would
Holy shit I wanna draw this, fully have a pose reference that'd work for it as well actually, I fully could draw this 👀 I could
like, Alex with someone's name in raised letters across his ass 👀👀👀 Alex with someone's name across his ass and he's the one holding the paddle? He put it there himself while the person whose name it is just watched after ordering him to do it? 👀👀 He didn't do it hard enough the first time, so they ordered him to hit himself harder with the paddle and now their name is branded across the side of his ass cheek.
Okay. Yeah I drew it :]
Here you go. Apparently I'm in the mood to draw at the moment, so have the above scenario drawn out whoooo (under the thingy because ass)
Also transmasc Alex Kralie because why not honestly. Enjoy the sideboob, and of course his ass in the camera (tumblr pls don't take this down, I know there's an ass in it but I've seen enough fucking porn bots to know you don't actually give a shit about that half the damn time)
kinda love my little watermark on there looking like when you get a cut or something and it's not super deep so it does that thing where is 'scars' darker than the skin before it just heals up and vanishes.
#marblehornies#nsft#brlx#alex#brian#I don't usually draw like this lol but I'm so glad i did because I actually love this#getting it to look like him was so hard and i'm not convinced i managed still. but it got better as soon as i put the glasses on him#and otherwise i can just chalk it up to he's trans and this is him back in uni so its fine if he looks different its fiiiiiiiine

my taste in men might vary, though most of them are what i like to call the “alex summers effect”. it has varying degrees, ranging from looking like lucas till to just being blonde and coping with humour
#🎤 ; chalk talk.#i really watched first class at a young age and it altered my brain chemistry#the hula hoop thing. it's hypnotic really#have a crush on stanley burley from ncis and i think it's because he looks like alex if he didn't blow up the x-mansion#men who fit: leon kennedy. boyd holbrook. any jake abel character and he himself. i'd say mick schumacher but his media personality is...#like a puppy.#nanami kento.#nikolai lantsov.#finnick odair? yeah. plus they both died for what? not an ounce of plot development? yeah#honestly? bobby drake fits too.#anyway

there’s so many writing choices in this film that i could gripe about but i can’t deny the way the end scenes have me chewing dry wall. we’ve just spent the entire film seeing alex paint himself as the victim in all of this, a hapless bystander swept into the insanity of nigel’s world and having to pay the price for it. there’s little hints here and there that maybe there’s more to the story - e.g. nigel’s comment about alex and susan (to which alex offers immediate refutation) - but there’s never any real and clear indication. until the end. until we get that 9 month time skip and we see sally pulling up to the cemetery. until we learn that susan’s grave has been dug up and the skull stolen. and then the train scene my god, the reality sets in that alex has been playing them this entire time, that he’s become the very thing nigel always wanted him to be. the ending to this film is both the end of alex’s story and the beginning of jack’s.
#i'm hitting a slump lately and motivation is low so have the incoherent ramblings of a mildly sleep deprived lunatic#but i always have the end of this movie on my mind#especially because i'm obsessed with it all from the pov of forbes sr. of all things?? imagine being alex's dad#your son is suspected of the murder of both susan and nigel#and then you find out he's basically been tormented by the very kid he tried to WARN you about right from the start#but you didn't take it seriously and chalked it up to his usually dramatic antics and need to act out for attention#but then it turns out that kid was not only responsible for the murder of his own parents and 2 other students#but may very well have almost killed alex that night at the railway yard#so you take him home and you try to get things back to the closest approximation of normality that you possibly can#but you've never been particularly close to your son. you struggled to form a connection with him before#and you're certainly not any better at it now after everything that's happened#so you give him space and you tell yourself that it will be alright#and then 1 day. 9 months after. you wake to find your son is gone. packed up and left#not only that. but you find out the police suspect he was lying this entire time and the grave dug up by him#what do you do? do you look for him? do you believe the police - believe your own child capable of any of the things they describe???#anyway i just have a lot of thoughts about alex's dad post-film . clearly#like minds#alex forbes#i love that john colbie gets a name but alex's dad is 'headmaster'

my current main thought about tmc is that dave lee's corpse was in pretty much the exact same position as Mark's which is pretty interesting/funny because that means either alex can only play a dead guy one way or that was intentional. is this anything
Anyway I'm coining a new phrase. Mark Heathcliff Death Pose
NO YEAH YEAH. i call it the mark heathcliff. they look just like chalk outlines
#i think it would be so fucking funny if thats just. alexs go to death pose#sprawled out like a chalk outline at a crime scene#tmc vol 4 spoilers

the slip up l lando norris x reader
request/summary – lando and reader are in a secret established relationship, until lando accidentally slips up on stream
author's notes – first piece of writing, feedback appreciated!!! this is just my thoughts written down honestly, i didn’t have much idea where i was going with it so enjoy.
Max was streaming with Lando at his place. Lando drags his feet over to the stream room, sitting on a chair next to Max. He was scrolling on his phone, trying to pass the time.
“Mate, I’m gonna leave, you’re being so boring,” Lando joked under his breath as he ran a hand through his hair.
“I’ll make things more interesting then. Chat, wanna know something really interesting about Lando?” Max asked with a mischievous smile as he looked back at Lando. Lando watched with suspicion of what max could say next.
“Lando’s got a secret girlfriend,” Max sings to annoy Lando. Lando’s eyes shot up, his heart pounding as he turned off his phone, the same phone he was using to text you, his girlfriend. “I don’t, chat, don’t listen to him. He’s just trying to piss me off,” Lando says as he shoots Max a glare.
—————
A few months later, everyone has chalked up that interaction to Max simply trying to annoy and rile up Lando, and no one thought much of it. On a miracle of a night in spring, Lando was in Monaco and decided to stream. He had a hoodie on, his hair all messy, but a smile on his face. About an hour into the stream, I knock on the door of his stream room quietly. Lando immediately turned off his video and mic, telling chat to give him a minute.
I walk in, a black slip dress on with a cropped white cardigan, my hair and makeup done all fancy. “Hi, baby,” Lando says as he pulls me in by the waist, onto his lap. “Girls night tonight, right?” He says with a soft smile. He always makes sure to pay attention to anything I’ve mentioned to him, including my plans to hang out with Lily and Carmen tonight, Alex and George’s girlfriends.
I hum in response. “Yeah, we’re gonna get dinner and then take some Instagram photos,” I say as I stand up from his lap, “you like the dress? It’s new.” I give him a little twirl to show off the dress.
Lando smiles brightly. “I love it, baby, you look gorgeous. Like always,” he says as he leans in for a kiss. “Text me when you’re done and need me to pick you up, yeah?” I nod and smile.
Once I leave, Lando puts his headset back on, turning his mic and camera back on. He scrunches up his face as he’s met by shouting from Max into his headset. “What’s your problem, man?” Lando asks with confusion. Max sighs. “Lando, you had your mic on the whole time. People heard that whole conversation and I was trying to tell you but as always, you ignored me,” Max says with some frustration in his voice, but mostly amusement.
“Oh,” Lando says as he realizes what has happened. Not knowing what to do, Lando panics and ends stream.
When my friends and I reach the restaurant, we find it pouring rain, which was the most of our worries since the restaurant was outdoor. With frowns, we all pile back into the car and drive ourselves home. I arrive home only twenty minutes after I left, my dress soaked. My brows furrow in confusion to see Lando on the couch on his phone when i come back, and not on stream.
I slip off my shoes. “I thought you were streaming?” I ask softly as I make my way over to him. “What happened to you? You’re all soaked! Here, let me get you a towel and you can get dressed into some of my hoodie and sweats to get comfy,” Lando says, trying to avoid the fact that he had just live streamed his whole conversation with his girlfriend.
I saw the panic in Lando’s eyes. “Stop,” I say as I stood in front of him, “what did you do?” Lando shoots me a bright grin. “I love you, babe. So so much. And you know I’d do anything for you.” This made me even more suspicious. “Lan,” I say as my eyes narrowed.
“Okay, okay. I might have forgotten to mute my mic when we were talking right before you left. I swear I thought I had turned it off!” He says as he panics before beginning to ramble. “And I called you baby, and gorgeous, and your voice was heard too. And Max was telling me the whole time through my headset, but it was off and even if it were on, you know I don’t think about anything else when I’m with you. And there were thousands of people on the stream and you specifically told me you wanted to keep it private because you didn’t want to get hate crimed by the fans and you wouldn’t be able to handle it and I mean, I wanted to but it just slipped and im so so sorry but-“ He stops in confusion when a giggle escapes my lips. “Why aren’t you upset?” He asks slowly.
I smile as I slip my arms around his neck, his hands instinctively wrapping around my waist. “Well. Number one, you’re cute when you panic. Number two, no one saw me, so it’s okay. I mean, considering how in love you are with me, they were bound to find out at some point that you had a girlfriend,” I tease with a smile tugging at my lips.
He scoffs and rolls his eyes playfully at me. “Okay, yeah. I am absolutely in love with you. Still, you’re not bothered by this?” he asks slowly, hesitation lacing his voice.
“I promise I’m not. It was a mistake. Plus, that just means it’s gonna be all the more fun trying to watch them figure out who it is you’re dating,” I say playfully with a giggle.
“That’s true,” Lando says softly with a hum, “I love you.”
“I love you too. Although, don’t make me have to have you on adult supervision every time you stream now to make sure nothing else slips out of your mouth,” I tease as I playfully poke his side.
“Ah! Okay okay, promise,” he says with a giggle as he leans in for a gentle and loving kiss.
