the historical inaccuracies in tgaa are really charming and cute and i do adore them, but one thing i dont understand is making stronghart the Lord Chief Justice, a title created in 2005, as opposed to the WAY cooler-sounding and ridiculously powerful LORD CHANCELLOR - which would have given him nigh-total power over not just the judiciary, but parliament, government AND the police. it just makes more sense thematically In My Opinion, with how he abuses his power but is never satisfied with it, to give him an even More powerful status.

Having lots of Thoughts(tm) about what if we didn't stop Meteion in time and had to take our moonship off into the cosmos to run from her? What if the whole of Etheirys had to adapt to living a life just drifting among the stars and learning to explore what lie beyond their little worldview, while running from that looming threat of doom

This is definitely an AU idea of mine that I want to explore for sure. Putting a bit more of the sci-fi aspect into the fantasy

Was thinking about Topher blackmailing Abe again and either my brain is messed up from being sick or it would have actually been funny if the episode was Topher going super over board to stop Abe from asking Joan out because he thought Joan was going to reject Abe. Then have Abe ask Joan out anyways and gets brutally turned down (or have Joan come up to him at the party and make a big deal about how she wants nothing to do with dating for a while and she's glad to have such a good platonic friend) Then have Topher going off about how he wouldn't have had to go so far if Abe just listened to him in the first place

I imagine that every time anyone has to act with Tom Cruise they get called to a meeting before they start shooting the movie where they will discuss with them every single thing they have to do in order to make Tom Cruise appear taller than he actually is

Honestly I don’t know how anyone who has ever acted with Tom Cruise hasn’t given like an exclusive interview about the stupid things they’ve done to make Tom Cruise look taller, or the process of just staring as someone put a box in front of them so that Tom could stand on it and look taller than he is

also on the subject of maruki and shido, this isn't quite as 1:1 a comparison as in akechi's cut third awakening, but there is still a direct link between them through the fact that maruki's research was stolen by shido – shido's knowledge of the metaverse and cognitive psience come in part from maruki directly

the professor of maruki's who shut down his research was doing it in connection with shido (an earlier iteration of this scene even had akechi note that he recognizes the professor's voice – this is someone who seemingly worked directly with shido on some level)

and he also compares maruki to shido, unfavorably this time, when maruki tells him of his plans

but maruki seems to take "you're no shido" as a challenge more than anything...

...and this is the scene where he fully awakens to azathoth's power and realizes just what he has to do to change all of humanity's cognition as he planned (before the phantom thieves inadvertently give him the power to do that, even)

with the spooky gendo ikari glasses glow not unlike shido's propaganda posters

and taking a closer look at that propaganda poster, shido's party logo is a giant eye watching over the earth in its hands...

...while maruki's whole palace is full of cameras that resemble azathoth's eyes

and, of course, its tentacles resemble hands

and there's even a projection of a globe over the atrium in the palace

so the one line from akechi may have gotten cut but the connections are certainly still there

climbing out of our shared insanity in the replies to present this wkx take to @sirenofthegreenbanks as if i am kneeling with a sword:

wenzhou to me is like. neither one of them can come out and ask for what they want that's way too risky. zzs is like downplaying everything trying to ignore his own desires out of habit he convinces himself that there are logical and sensible reasons for things it's like. ugh well I guess it is really cold tonight and it's too late to get a room with two beds and if wkx sleeps on the floor he'll be so fucking annoying about it that neither of us will sleep I GUESS it's ok if we share the bed. because he can't ask for that.

but meanwhile wkx is on the other side and all he knows how to do is performance. he's so fucking dramatic because it allows him to camouflage himself like one of those very brightly colored poisonous creatures. like he very much IS deadly but it's easier for him to get what he wants if just being loud and over the top is enough to remind everyone. so he starts in with the theatrics first. a-xu is so mean i am a scorned wife let me (redacted)(redacted)(redacted) if i can't share your bed i will die of a broken heart let me consume you whole etc etc etc. when all he wants. is to share the bed that night. but he can't ask for that.

so you can see where they meet really neatly in the middle and each get to pretend it's a compromise when they're actually just getting exactly what they both wanted without actually having to ask for it.

Day 23 (30 Days | Homestuck - Day 9) - Favourite Flash ([S] Jade: Enter)

"CG: YOU MADE AN UNBEATABLE BOSS IS WHAT YOU DID"

=Thoughts=

I'm wondering if I should really write these when the pieces are made simply since not a great deal of thought is put into the how of it. It's been an interesting habit, but still.

Trying to pick how to go about this took some thought, but a simple scene that shows the impact of the whole thing seemed right, both because simple & doable and also because it demonstrates the impact of the whole flash and not just one scene (though that would've been a good approach too).

I just did a simple mostly-symmetrical piece of Bec Noir since, aside from the clothes and scar, he is largely symmetrical. The bust portion was done incomplete intentionally but the wings, while also incomplete, extended beyond the intended frame 'cause otherwise it wasn't going to look natural.

It's surprising the power of a reference shot (even if this is closer to a panel redraw). The flash had some good shots of Bec Noir on its own.
