dare i say Billy Hargrove?

the misunderstanding of Billy as a character is genuinely my roman empire, it’s been on my mind for years but idk if anyone will wanna listen😭 (i’m open to conversations btw)

[5-pp-man]

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

[uselessalexis165]

i love you characters with similar qualities that get criticized more just for being women

[arrimorr]

Your art style is very unique it reminds me of professional artist that draws old children stories

What inspired you ?

Thank you so much 😭😭😭 Im honestly very surprised whenever someone says I have any form of a style in what I do, because, personally, I think I am a bit all over the place (which is normal since Im still trying a lot of things out for myself)

First of all, I'm very inspired by Brecht Evens, especially the way he works with color and is capable of showing different light environments through it.

My brain chemistry was also forever changed by the way over the Garden wall artists went about depiction of creepy cartoony stuff.

Also, I've been going though a process of re-evaluating soviet art for the last couple of years. I absolutely HATED it as I child but I had to revisit it for one of my Uni researches and there are actually a lot of fun examples of work with color and shapes there????

THE BERKIANS DID NOT NEED TO DITCH THEIR DRAGONS IN THE HIDDEN WORLD

NEW BERK WAS HIGH ENOUGH TO WHERE NOBODY CAN REACH THEM WITHOUT THE WINGSUITS OR DRAGONS. THE AWFUL NARRATIVE THAT THE FRANCHISE VER. OF THE WORLD CANNOT CO-EXIST WITH DRAGONS IS STUPID, AND THEY TRIED TO FORCE THAT "There were dragons when I was a boy" FROM THE BOOKS SO HARD, WHICH DOESN'T WORK BECAUSE THE FRANCHISE AND BOOKS DO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.

THW SPAT IN THE MOUTH OF THE TV SHOWS & THE SECOND MOVIE AND IT'S ENDING--

video games being respected and seen as a 100% valid storytelling device in deltarune makes me really happy. “lord of the hammer” got adapted into “dragon blazers” and no one is shrugging it off as the mindless video game cash in, they’re discussing whether or not its a good adaptation, and gerson himself sees it as a perfectly good way to engage with the story.

in fact there doesnt seem to be a societal hangup over video games being dumb or mindless slop for lazy people. noelle plays dragon blazers with her dad in the hospital. berdly is a gamer bro but that’s never shown to be a sign that he’s actually stupid, in fact noelle is just as big of a gamer as him. she just thinks hes annoying about it. hell, dragon blazers and blood crushers being a way for all the lightners to bond, berdly coming around to susie because of it, the suselle hangout in noelle’s house. most of tv time is you chilling with your friends playing video games, and ralsei (the “proper” one of the group) never once comments on it. and the fact that there’s a discussion about a book to video game story being a good adaptation shows that video games are seen as a valid art form.

toby fox loves video games so much that we’re getting a glimpse into a world that actually respects them enough to see them as art and devices to bond with people over rather than lazy slop machines. and i dunno, i’ve never seen anything like it personally. i wish we had that.

LeeGene's First Date

When you really think about it, this was LeeGene's first date, and I don't mean in a joking way of "lol this is like a date", but that actually this was a sort of clumsily semi-planned date between them. To explain this, we need to first go back to this scene.

Eugene passes by Lola's, and instead of just doing a quick double-take like a normal person, he stops dead in his tracks and stares at Lee just long enough for Lee to notice him, and then leaves. This is that cat-and-mouse dynamic that Luca has mentioned at play. Eugene just gave Lee some bait, and is now waiting for him to bite. Lee runs after him, and, on the spot, comes up with a lie to get Eugene to go to the Ship Ahoy at around 5:00.

The book makes it immediately clear that this is basically a lie, but the movie makes you put two and two together yourself. Why would Mary personally ask Lee to deliver a message from her to Eugene, when Lee is a complete stranger to both of them? The very next scene makes it clear that, indeed, Mary has no clue who Lee is.

So Lee essentially used the pretense of heteronormativity to ask Eugene out on a date. A woman wants to meet with you at that time and place = I want to meet with you at that time and place. In response, Eugene seems to have semi-caught on.

His eyes briefly look downwards, implying suspicion. He's not 100% certain though, so he tries to get some clarification. 

Lee somewhat fumbles it (as usual) because he doesn't want to appear too eager, but Eugene seems satisfied enough with his answer. Lee will be at the Ship Ahoy around 5:00, and so will Eugene.

However, later on we see Lee reaching the Ship Ahoy at what interestingly seems to be way past 5:00?

If we go by this scene, which according to the script is the very next day, Lee's alarm goes off at 4:55, and it seems that there is still a bright midday-ish sunlight outside, so it doesn't make sense for it to be around 5:00 and already sunset.

It's very possible that I'm looking too deep into this and it's just some kind of mistake or change from the script, but if we are to take this as intentional, it means that Lee told Eugene to be at the Ship Ahoy around 5:00, but Lee himself didn't go until way later. The reason for that is unknown. Maybe something held him up, maybe he got cold feet and it took him a while to find the courage to go, or maybe he wanted to make Eugene wait for him. We don't really know.

Either way, Eugene is already there, and it just so happens that Mary is with him. Lee gets dejected, he was hoping to find Eugene all alone. His date is ruined. That is why he goes straight to the bar and starts sulking, drinking his disappointment away, frustrated that Eugene is having a good time with someone who isn't him.

Assuming once again that Lee was indeed late, Eugene most likely took his absence to mean that he had completely misunderstood the situation. Mary was there, and Lee wasn't. Maybe she really did talk with him, and there was nothing else beyond that. But then Lee suddenly appears, and Mary doesn't know him. This confirms Eugene's suspicions for good. He is now intrigued, he stares at Lee so much Mary has to snap him out of it.

Still it's not until way later, when the sun is down and Eugene is clearly a bit drunk, his inhibitions lowered, that he finally finds the courage to approach Lee.

It took them quite a bit of clumsy hinting and assuming, insecure fumbling and misunderstanding, but they somehow made it. Their first date. Eugene buys Lee a drink. They end up isolating themselves from everyone else and focusing solely on each other, engrossed in conversation as they properly get to know each other for the first time. And then Lee walks Eugene home.

The date went well.

(This was sitting in my drafts for a while now, @queenmabsdiary your Mary posts reminded me of it and got me to finish it. Next hopefully is my take on Mary!)

uh oh sisters. hunger games hyperfixation

Anyway thought that I am expressing now that I've reread at least 1 EAH book. I do not understand why people use elements from the Shannon Hale books to discuss characters in the context of the show because whilst I think some aspects of the books can inform how you see the characters outside of them (e.g. minor events, comments on characters appearances, and silly things like Apple needing glasses (which is canon outside of the books anyway)) I'd say that the books diverge so far from the show (plot wise, characters are actually pretty consistent) that using elements from the books in the context of the show doesn't rly make sense. E.g. Apple almost drowning as a child because like yes that happens in the books but there is nothing to suggest that that applies to the show in any way so bringing it up when discussing Apple's motivations in the show doesn't make sense. Like in the books they also have a party after Legacy Day and instead of just having a vision in a well Raven and Apple go on a whole adventure, do you think those events also apply to the show ??? Like they're different canons and different versions of events and personally I don't think it's useful to conflate the two and tbh outside of like the mess that is FNAF I think EAH is the only fandom where I've witnessed two different canons be treated almost as one. Maybe I'm just being overly pedantic though.

[hadesknockedupintheunderworld]

It just bugs me when the fandom treats Tails as a baby who has sonic as his daddy. Tails may be younger than sonic, but that doesn't make him a helpless diaper baby that needs sonic to wipe his ass. Tails was living on his own even before he met sonic..he has multiple workshops and creates glorious inventions and kicks badniks ass.

So sick of the infantilization of Tails.

I don't have much to say other than

100%

I'm not really broken up about people making fanon aus or whatever. But the amount of times there's like a new Tailstube or whatever and someone goes "OMG see! This is the proof that Tails is a 5 year old baby boy that Sonic is actively teaching to read and is practically parenting! All sega needs to do now is make him stay home and go to school and act more like Sonic's kid brother!!🥰" while Sonic and Tails are chilling in one of Tails multiple homes that Tails owns and allows Sonic to crash at

Or the amount of animations/comics that give him Cream's speech patterns, make him naive af and oblivious to "adult" things like *checks notes*...kissing(?), a gremlin baby child who can't stand losing games to Sonic, actively say "it's basically canon that Sonic actually owns Tails' shit", claim (incorrectly) that classic Tails was an infant child that Sonic picked up and started raising, etc, meanwhile everyone glazes up op talking about how so super canon that is and how that stuff basically canonically happened...

It's just kind of staggering. To me it could not be more clear of a case of people needing their fanon to be "basically canon" so they can feel like they're justified for liking it and so they can justify alienating people who don't share the same headcanons as their illusionary majority

sejanus and marcus truly have one of the most insane dynamics from the franchise, like i have never been this crushed over a story between two characters in my life. 😭

i was really expecting the movie to take advantage of their past, to bring that raw emotion to the screen. because even after a whole DECADE, sejanus still remembers and cherishes marcus for what he did for him when they were children. marcus helping sejanus with his hurt finger on his own, showing him kindness, never left him. sejanus never experienced that level of generosity in the capitol, i don’t think he was treated that way ever again.

it breaks me reading their scenes in the zoo and during the questionnaire, because sejanus so desperately wants to make amends with him. but marcus has made up his mind, he doesn’t say a word to him, he doesn’t trust him, and he never gives in. the plinth’s are despised in two, sejanus being his mentor won’t change that. sejanus bringing him food, and offering it to him multiple times won’t either. sejanus goes as far as to ask coriolanus to trade tributes because marcus being his tribute is taking that much of a toll on him, while he clarifies that it’d be terrible with anyone, it’s marcus that brings him so much emotional distress.

marcus’s torture being displayed as a message, but also to get under sejanus’s skin… dr. gaul teases him about marcus’s disappearance, (most-likely) knowing they’d already caught him. and looping back to the reaping, strabo buying the district two boy… done only to shove it in his face that he could never go back to two. sabotaging him with marcus seems to be a common theme.

when marcus dies, sejanus honors him. sacrificing himself just to do so. he’d planned to die in there with him, too. and if coriolanus hadn’t been sent in, it would’ve worked. when he agrees to leave with coriolanus, he doesn’t want to go without marcus’s body.

marcus, undeniably, had a very large role in sejanus’s actions, in his resistance, and once he was gone, sejanus doesn’t have a purpose to live anymore. he tells coriolanus in part three that after the arena, he had planned to end his own life, one of his reasonings being because of what happened to marcus. and that was not the first time he’s considered suicide over marcus’s fate, he feels that guilty over him.

sejanus still keeps pictures of marcus, takes the childhood class photo where marcus is standing behind him to district twelve. ma comments on how she knew marcus’s dismay “hit him hard”. coriolanus calling sejanus dramatic over going into the arena, and sejanus reacting as if coriolanus had slapped him across the face.

they met for the first time in district two, then again in the capitol, and eventually in death. just . MY GOD!!!!!!!

[peroxideprinces]

they hate me bc i prefer movie!peter over book!peter

[artinandwritin]

Since you asked for asks over the week, have one for today!

1. Whats your favorite piece of httyd media (Movies, comics, etc, but not the books.)

2. Which of the HTTYD Books is your favorite? (Have i asked this before?? Idk lol)

YIPPEEE TY OKAY SO

1. My absolute favourite part of HTTYD will always be the RoB/DoB era. It was the first httyd thing i ever watched (i was sick as a kid and while zapping around channels i came on RoB, I believe it were the Viking for Hire episode and the one right after?) and I think I partly became so obsessed with HTTYD after watching the movie bc i watched those RoB episodes. Believe me, I was watching HTTYD1 on vacation in Germany and was like. Squinting the entire time bc "???? Where tf do i know this from????" and then it clicked and i was sold.

But yeah, rob/dob is very close to my heart. Weve talked abt it before but it has a certain whimsy charm that fits right in line with the first movie. For me it's peak httyd. It will certainly always come above rtte to me lmao, i enjoy that show way less.

2. I always say the fourth book is really high up for me. I read the first 4 books as an 11 year old, but the other books weren't translated into dutch back in the year 2014 I think (the library didn't have them) so I only got to read the other books last year when I borrowed them from a friend of mine. But, the ending of book 4 has always gotten to me, with the Doomfang, and him watching over Hiccup, and it just makes me go eidjrjjdjdekrjdkejr sobbing. I read most of them on long commutes too (except the last one, i finished that in one sitting after my first EMDR therapy session. I remember almost nothing from that lmao) so there were many. Many times i just sat in either the bus or train staring ahead of me with blank eyes bc the story just hit too hard.

How to break a dragons heart is also really. Really good. Like they're all good, but everything with the witch and all the storytelling abt the past is so. So good. I just adore that entire series.

Also, the library one bc that one is just funny bc I work in a library and i feel very connected to the hairy scary librarian. Id want him as a co worker lmao.

[multi-babii]

i've rewatched the red white and royal blue movie and it's killing me that they cut out all of their family relationships and issues. june, the divorce, bea and her addiction, cathrine not even being in the movie, henry's dad and his death. all of these had so much impact not only on their romance but on their characters.

like i completely understand why they cut out so much about the election and other political stuff. but i don't understand why they couldn't include these important factors in their love.
