Can you pleeeeaaaaasssseeeee draw Inv / put them in the height chart? I’ve been looking at ur art and I like it a lot!!

Of course, dear askers! I'm sorry it took... 5 months to answer... And thank you, I'm very happy that you enjoy my art so much :'D Inv is a very weird critter. They're small, but that very disproportional neck makes them a lot taller, and they smell of acid and mistakes. They should not be here. They move in an unnatural way and often stare at something that isn't there. They confuse the other slugcats, they look similar but everything else is... weird. Their patterns shift depending on who's close, and even the world seems to reject their presence.

It's actually criminal how few bodyswap fics are in the hannibal fandom. With the insane psychosexual mental bdsm those two canonly engage in could you imagine how crazy they'd get if they literally could be inside each other's flesh and brains.

wow so I have like 3 analysis in progress that touch on this topic but I really need to just talk about it rn with its own spotlight.

Aziraphale has this entire life that he's built for himself on earth, after armageddon he's thriving. When we catch up with him in Season 2 his first scene is literally him going to check in with one of his tenants, and throughout the season we see that he has a decent relationship with nearly Everyone on the block. He has an entire life for himself all hashed out and pretty.

Crowley... does not. His cold open in Season 2 is back in St. James park, checking in with Shax, finding out the gossip on Hell. He doesn't have his apartment, he only has his Bentley and the few plants he could fit in it. He doesn't have any other human friendships. His entire life and everything he loves to do is built entirely around Aziraphale.

This is something that I just find so fucking thrilling because when it comes to their characters and where exactly they are in their arcs right now, it's essentially like looking into a mirror.

Aziraphale knows exactly who he is when he's on his own. He nurtures his own relationships with humans he sees often, he's a nice landlord, he loves books and classical music, and hot cocoa. But, Aziraphale still holds onto the ideals of heaven. He still cares about doing good and being forgiving. He still cowers and jumps at the opportunity to help heaven, not because he wants to but because he's supposed to because he's still an angel.

Crowley has nothing. He has his car, which he drives to a secluded location to park every night, only to drive it right back in the morning. He's only even vaguely recognizable because people associate him with Aziraphale and this is fine for him, he could care less. He doesn't really need to know who he is or process his traumas, why would he when he can put all his attention and focus and love and care directly into Aziraphale? His friend, who has always been his friend, the one person who has always stood by him. Who cares about heaven and hell, he has Aziraphale.

When we finally see them on their own and without the influences of their head offices, we see the opposite of what we'd expect, and nearly the opposite of the outcome we see in episode 6. Crowley is the one constantly checking in with Hell (wether he likes it or not), and Aziraphale is the one who's living care free without even thinking about heaven. When he does something good that he wants to report, he just calls Crowley.

this whole dance of Crowley not knowing who he is without Aziraphale and Aziraphale knowing who he is fundamentally but not knowing how to break free from the confines of Heaven that stop him from truly embracing Crowley in the end, it's just so delicious.

i hate you the need to explain how actually louis was the most toxic one in this relationships. i hate you the need to explain how actually lestat was the most toxic one in this relationship. i hate you the need to explain how actually armand was the most toxic one in this relationship. I hate you iwtv fans using the word “abused” or “X deserves better” like a weapon to destroy another characters integrity. yes they do suck in whatever way you are highlighting but also so many are getting too close to just making up shit takes bc they want to see it that way. Like just wait for marius if you need someone to hate with yr whole being

rare instance of me being actually really happy with a design

actually gonna word vomit about it;

this came to me the mili, picosecond ive finished colouring the third redesigns which is now completely out of a date of ever seeing the sun so have fun mulling over that lol .

anyways so basically, ive discovered this technique of limiting to 3 or 2 themes for each character, to which i built apon with an overall theme for the whole media and have it paired up with the characters individual theme. ive decides to try for a more flexible or abstract dressing theme for tam, being duality since yknow her hybrid species/transitioning species kinda thing (in hindsight it shouldve been asymmetry but whatevs), the rest was roadsigns and scout.

originally it was going to be a flower, then it was going to be melded skulls and roses but just decided on a skull, the back of her head was a weak resemblance of this broken solar panel thing ? still dont know, but it was cool; this was supposed to be an attempt at symbolism of her trying to weaponise her unique kind of loneliness, being a hybrid and having unconventional origins in the sense of her childhood and the abyssals, trying to replicate a dishonering danger with the horns coming out as well, stabbing away any approachers. the weird cut snout with teeth was supposed to be the top half of a mouth but i thought it would be funnier if it was more a collector showcase base for her weird teeth collection fixation, all from the underground visits john used to take her with when she wasnt older and sicker, a rare interlude of her bleak-less worldview and dull colours.

the spikes on the skull is actually sharpened loose metal from railings, poles, machines, etc, and she uses to have more but she snapped them off when the gun jammed. its meant to be a transition from the skull to the metal plate and was meant to replicate the more grandiose version in my head.

idk if i ever properly explained the diamond earing on her left side but its an earing that john will be shown wearing and he decided to give to her as part of his family, but due to her massive fears of her ears being ripped off with it or with anything (headcanons will be supplied, soon enough), she decided to add it to her hat, which is funny because i was going to pierce her with chains but it wouldve been a) too heavy and b) reminded me too much of this guy in secondary school math class who publicly announced his thought of putting a pencil between a earring hoop, so. (sorry)

also the necklace is a variation of johns that she tried to replicate in her own style, idk if that was obvious but john is her biggest reason of and for life.

what else, uhh the yellow tape around is meant to diverage anyones attention from her face or her in general, yknow, 'look down, look away' likes shes shy guy or smthin. its her anxieties, her self-consciousness she tries to comfort with a shield of fear projected onto others, its also a self-poke like 'this girl right here is a CRIME SCENE!!!'

the weird thing over her shirt is supposed to be a ripped version of the shirt she used to wear in earlier versions, a sign of shifting unrecognisablility, breaking out yet still clinging onto the puzzle pieces for a cocoon that kept you safe in the first place. she knows shes tam, not traviler, but something in her wants tomorrow to be the day the hat is over her eyes and the trench coat is the amber touch of anyone she loved. its a drastic, dramatic life change that cant magically happen overnight, shes 22, but theres always a lingering, loose ended however.

uhmmm, she has many belts that i wanted to make into a loose replica of rock climbing belts because i think she really really really really rwalyh REALLY likes climbing up and away but i thought it would be funnier (common pattern realised) if she didnt know that rock climbing is a real profession or that she'd always would do it too tight or loose so she just gave up.

the saws came as an afterthought from this pin and i was like "whaf if she wash bug" but then i realised if i added in another theme i would have to restart and it would be over complicated AGAIN so i just did it with saws because she nearly got her head cut off by a saw and also like a little nod to her HORRENDOUS sitting positions like she would never sit straight, its either upside down, down on the side, manspreading like its a dentist appointment or 6-2 legs on the floor its quite queer of her.

elsewhere, uhhhhh, one of her makeshift shoulder pads was supposed to resemble the wings of an animal like how i originally drew her necklace but like, i kept on forgetting and kept trying something else until i just replicated the other one with less details, nothing smart i just thought it would fit her (no melted keys, she doesnt like stabbing herself anymore)

anything else...........she has a fang........ uhhh....she ripped off the oversleeves as a get back from the guy who took played with a chain on her hat while she was half awake or smthin idk still hasnt fleshed it out properly........ she is the worlds renowned owner of the most split ends (and she will finger brush through all of the knots with pride god damnit).........uhhhshe doesnt looking at mirrors.......ive made a fanfic about that....i may have realised i have a weird sense of aesthetic attraction to her.....this is a repost cuz i didnt like how little it was but now i have ensnared myself in only 2 doodles per canvas.......i am very irresponsible about my storage space but what else is new....... tam appeared right before me in my dreams................ i have taken 20 screenshots of the updated lore document of the transcribed conco between her john........ yeah thats it

theres probs more ive missed or havent come up with but thats enough words for today,

if you actually soaked in everything ive read um thanks, watch this be outdated within 3 days or hideaway makes me hide away all of my headcanons that has been conjured since december.

k byeeee

also more codelyokoposting but I really really dig XANA as a villain. It's not a person with a complex background that led them down the path of evil, it's not a morally grey character you sympathize with but condemn. It's a powerful AI capable of controlling almost anything in the real world. It doesn't have a face or a body, we only know it for its symbol and for the monsters it controls in the virtual world. It's willing not just to kill people through various methods (poisoning, drowning, car crash, fucking space lasers too?) but also Earth as a whole (it tried to blow up a NUCLEAR PLANT and crash two trains with toxic chemicals in them). And we don't even know why it does this, at least not for now. It may not even have a particular reason, just some sort of virus or malware in the form of an AI that seeks nothing but destruction without any goals in mind. This "pure evil" characteristic doesn't come off as childish, like in some children cartoons, it's just kind of scary to think that such an incomprehensible and destructive force exists, almost feels like a natural disaster

The Dead Pixel Convo Isn't About Jimmy

So I've expressed how I have a different interpretation than the common theories. And now I'm even more convinced the dead pixel isn't about Jimmy or red flags.

I saw this post of a transcription of the scene and I noticed some things. Thank you @familiarartistname for taking the time to transcribe this!

https://www.tumblr.com/familiarartistname/768986384951328768/the-dead-pixel?source=share

So what I noticed is that Anya and Curly parallel each other in this conversation. My thoughts are in purple cause Curly just had to speak in white lol

So it starts with Curly checking in with Anya. She says she can't sleep and Curly empathizes with her.

Anya then brings up that she likes the screen. Though she says it as if liking the screen is something unusual. Like it's something Curly wouldn't believe.

Then she brings up the dead pixel.

Curly responds by believing her, looking for it, but not being able to see it.

Then we get both of them commenting on how the dead pixel weighs on their minds. Anya can't stop thinking about it and Curly will go crazy looking for it.

And then Curly mirrors Anya's earlier words. He likes the screen but doesn't think he should.

It's this parallel that struck me reading the transcript. If this is supposed to be about Curly missing the red flags/Jimmy's true nature why does Anya give the same sentiment? She already knew about the pixel when she says she likes the screen and that she deliberately comes to look at it. Curly is aligning with her. The pixel doesn't ruin the screen, it's peaceful. They even both express doubts that they shouldn't like the screen. Anya anticipates disbelief while Curly feels he needs to justify it. We know Anya isn't ignoring or missing the Jimmy situation so if Curly is aligning with her in this conversation this can't be about him missing it either.

The only significant difference between them is that Anya can see the pixel and Curly can't. But this difference isn't due to dismissal or denial of the pixel. He believes her and once made aware he starts looking for it and then aligns with her view of the screen. Which just doesn't match the popular red flag/Jimmy interpretations to me.

It also strikes me that if this conversation was about Curly missing/ignoring the red flags that Anya isn't asking Curly to do anything about the dead pixel. She's telling him how it effects her and then he shares in kind. And then there's the nature of a dead pixel. You can't fix a dead pixel because dead pixels are permanent. To get rid of it you have to get rid of the whole screen. Anya and Curly still like the screen.

So yeah, I think the dead pixel conversation makes more sense to me as representing abuse. How Anya can see her abuse clearly while Curly can't. How it's always on the back of Anya's mind while Curly will go bonkers looking for it. How they both don't let it ruin things for them even though they have doubts that it should. And now after looking at the dialog again it also represents how paralleled they truly are.

There is one thing I was initially wrong about though. Curly doesn't change the subject.

Anya changes the subject. This is our first hint about her pregnancy. And also tells us how much longer they're trapped with Jimmy. Of note is that Curly speaks as if he's unsure ("Off the top of my head" and "Around") but then gives a very specific number, 237, instead of something like 235 or 240. Is he counting down the days?

Then there's the part about the locks. Of course it's a cue towards Anya's rape but it also tells us about Pony Express' priorities and gives us another parallel between Anya and Curly. The answer to Anya's question is safety but not the crews safety. The locks that are on the Tulpar are for the safety of Pony Express' property. Despite Anya and Curly having access to the locks in the medbay and cockpit due to being the Nurse and Captain neither of them are safe. They are both being actively abuse because the safety measures on the ship aren't for them.
