Not sure on colors yet, but here’s my take on ac unity’s Maximilien Robespierre !

I really wish the game made him a more nuanced character than just an outright villain. Not saying he had to be a saint, but I would really have loved to see him as an ally that you couldn’t save in the end and see his paranoia grow throughout the game.

Notes: I designed him in mind to be analytical and difficult to read on the exterior so that could build up certain intrigue as well as give off the more popular, cold impression he has in general pop culture depictions. But surely enough, you can see there’s more to him the more you interact and learn about him. I also drew him younger than his design in the game because he honestly looked a bit too old for when he died at 36.

I don’t have a super realistic style or anything so a lot of my design choices wouldn’t work for the game’s realistic style, but this is my main reference for if I want to draw ac unity Robespierre some more (and mentally rewriting parts as I go). I’m not an expert or anything tho so take some (or most) of this with a grain of salt. I’m down for more research and reading recs for a more well rounded characterization of him btw !!

I had in mind to somewhat echo the gesture and some design details reminiscent of a bird or pigeon (since Robespierre was fond of pigeons irl), so the stiffer shape of his ponytail is meant to echo the fanned tail of a bird but it’s also a really clean cut like a blade just went through it. His ankles and wrists are also really slim for this bird-aspect reason.

He’s also got green tinted glasses for his poor vision, but if I were to bring this into color it’d be much darker to maintain the mystery around him depending on the shot.

I do like assassin’s creed’s little shoulder cape they gave him so I wanted to keep that !

i saw a thirst trap of carlisle cullen last night and i immediately thought about a steddie twilight au but where eddie falls for steve, the patriarch of that weird-ass foster family that just moved to town at the start of eddie's third go at senior year (he moved to hawkins to stay with his uncle and try this last time to graduate after people in his home town keep only thinking of his now convict dad whenever they see eddie. maybe now he can actually graduate without all the teachers holding a grudge).

steve, or Dr. Harrington to the folks of Hawkins, who studied medicine to help people after he was attacked in his early 20s by an actual vampire his father was trying to hunt down after it killed steve's mother

steve, who forced himself to feed on animals, to not take a single breath when he went to his best friend robin's home after being changed to tell her goodbye

steve, who winds up changing robin too (accidentally biting her? he comes back not a year later and robin's sick? idk)

steve, who just kept collecting kids by accident when he'd find them on the brink of death, all throughout his long life.

steve and robin, who are now professionals at pretending to be married (and have been officially platonically married loads of times at this point).

eddie, who skids his car roughly into chrissy cunningham's in the school parking lot after they've just come back from winter break and they both end up bonding over the ride in the ambulance/long wait in the hospital

chrissy, who immediately clocks eddie's reaction to Dr. Harrington as soon as he walks in the room and relentlessly (lovingly) torments him about it from then on.

something something eddie falls for steve the otherworldly being and steve who falls just as hard for this entirely breakable human

classic miscommunications about "He's married!", "He's still totally into you though.." and "Oh my god he thinks I'm married...That's why he's not flirting back!", "And why did it take you so long to realize this?"

dr. harrington's meddling kids (who somehow look just like steve even though they're fosters??? ("They're vampires Chris, they've got to be.")) trying to push eddie on their 'dad' and eddie's 'robin' chrissy on their robin...

idk idk i just can't help but think about a twilight au now lmao

IDK who needs to hear this, but Egon and Ray aren't the only autistic og ghostbusters

Peter is too

Your telling me this man with two PhDs related to psychology, who always has the exact right thing to say to manipulate a situation to his favour (when it's a planned/known situation), but cocks up massively when it's an unknown situation, who has a massive reaction to getting slimed (more so than the others), who would rather joke all the time than take a situation seriously because wtf should he say

you're telling me this man is neurotypical?

nah

Winston's the only NT in this group (idk how he deals with these weirdos (affectionate))

Punisher is such a bizarre character to have this level of enduring popularity but then again I guess The Executioner (Mack Bolan) he was based on has somehow over 600 novels so???

The thing with the Punisher is that he has no memorable villains (because he kills them) and apart from Micro no supporting cast (because everyone hates him for killing people and the extent of Frank's social skills is either shooting people or threatening to shoot people) so any appeal as a story must come either from the specific storyline related side characters or the action being interesting and unique which both require more from the writing and art than most comic book characters. He was introduced as an antagonist originally for a reason and was never planned to be a main character.

Having done bit of a dive into pre-welcome back Frank Punisher I can say that most of it even when the politics aren't as rancid as 'Let's have Punisher kill a bunch of left wingers because I hate them' just is bad. I especially think it's extremely boring when they write Frank as just an extremely cliche macho action hero man... At least when he is written as an extremely bizarre guy who seems uncomfortable and confused by any social interaction that doesn't involve gunfights or explosions in some way he is more fun to read about.

I don't think we talk enough about how accommodating and patient Blaine is

First instance: Blaine and the Pips

In season 2, while Kurt is at Dalton, he is feeling stifled by the private school's rules and such. And he's jealous that Blaine gets all the leads in Warbler performances. Being Kurt, he calls Blaine out on it.

Upon hearing this, Blaine doesn't get offended or upset. He tries to get the Warbler council to bend on what uniforms they wear at regionals (listen. Baby steps lol) and eventually gets them to acquiesce and make one of the solos a duet. Of course, Blaine did have ulterior motives, as we know, but i do think that Kurt calling out the Warbler's favoritism of him helped him reach the decision to demand ask politely for a duet with Kurt.

Second instance: Joining New Directions

When Blaine joined ND, he says "We're gonna go to NATIONALS!" Showing that he's a team player and all that. He doesn't come in with the expectation of being the defacto lead again, and he knows that the team going to nationals is only going to happen if they all work together.

Him being a part of an a capella group likely informed this, as he knows that the Warblers have to sing in perfect unison. You don't really get one person who just sings runs a la Mercedes and Artie and hits a power note, you have each voice building on the others. Even though Blaine was almost always seen singing nothing but lead, we can assume that he did his time as a lowly harmonizer when he first joined.

Third instance: Oops I mean Rory

There's a scene in season 3 where Finn is 1. Trying to inspire his teammates and 2. Trying to bolster his recruit, Rory.

Up to that point, Finn is obviously jealous of Blaine's talent and worried about his position as lead male vocalist. He's been pretty hostile to Blaine since he joined ND, which is notable because before that, he and Blaine got along just fine.

Finn starts talking about giving their newest member a solo, because he's earned it. Blaine is sitting in front of Rory, who Finn is talking to, so he thinks Finn is talking about him, and has a look on his face like 'Oh how nice of Finn to suggest a solo!' And when Finn asks Rory if he's up for it, Blaine looks confused for a moment.

But then, instead of getting mad and seeing this as another slight from Finn, Blaine turns in his seat and encourages Rory, who is hesitant, and then tells Finn he thinks it's a great idea.

Fourth instance: Dance lessons

The worst dancers in the club are required to take extra dance lessons with Mike. Blaine is not required, but asks if he can come anyway to 'catch up' with the others. He is the only member of the team who willingly goes to the extra dance lessons, even though it's only for one lesson.

Fifth instance: Bernardo or Officer Krupke

While talking to Kurt about auditioning for West Side Story, Blaine gives the impression that he will be auditioning for the leading role of Tony. Kurt is desperate for this role to bolster his resume for NYADA, and at this point we learn that Blaine is a junior while Kurt is a senior; it's sort of an unwritten law that seniors get the lead.

Knowing how important it is to Kurt that he gets the lead role, Blaine auditions for Bernardo or Officer Krupke ("either one's f-fine" in a shaky voice after his audition) and is very hesitant to read for Tony.

Blaine probably would've turned the role down if Kurt hadn't told him to take it.

Of course, Blaine isn't perfect and has moments where he does things out of hurt feelings or resentment, he does things that could be considered selfish. But I just think it's interesting to note that, more often than not, he is willing to step aside for the better of the group. I think this is his polite and kind nature, but also a need to be non-confrontational. He does have moments of anger (shoving Karofsky during Night of Neglect, getting on Sam's case about incorporating a body roll into their dance moves, Cooper being overly critical of him making him lash out, Kurt not allowing him to make space for himself in the loft, etc etc) but those moments are almost always when he's been pushed to the brink and he simply cannot contain it anymore. Notably, his anger explodes out of him in a quick flash and easily dissipates, and he's quick to make up with anyone he fought with.

Okay but imagine Mike trying to flirt with Will but he has no idea how to bc he basically just kissed El and then she liked him

I mean the girl was okay with them having a sibling relationship ffs

anyway Mike knows he can’t just kiss Will and it’s all said and done so he try’s to flirt with him,it’s horrifying

Will is so confused bc why is his best friend suddenly so interested in going everywhere with him and not El,who keeps pulling him aside with a few of the others as they giggle and Mike goes bright red,it’s weird to him that they aren’t making out constantly like the last time he saw them as a couple especially since they said I love you to each other,I mean that one of the most romantic things to happen to a couple right,they should be all over each other

(I like to head canon that El would force Mike to flirt with Will along with several of the others,Dustin Lucas,Steve and Robin possibly and Nancy and Mike hates it bc it’s so embarrassing but I also like the idea that Mike has this internal conflict and is suffering trying to figure out how the actual fuck he is supposed to seduce William Bylers,his best friend and the most amazing person he has ever known)

basically Mike try’s to flirt with Will using really embarrassing tactics and Wills just like ‘ummm ok you do you ig but the worlds ending and your acting super weird so do you wanna talk about it or….’ and Mike just realised that Will loves him

him

He fell in love with him,the nerdy dnd obsessed geek bc Will is also a dnd obsessed geek and he is just himself just without the internalised homophobia (so s1 and 2 Mike) and then fast forward to love confession and Byler kiss

I can’t physically wait for s5 bc how the flying fuck are the duffers going to make Byler canon bc there are so many ways I can’t decide😭😭😭

It's so funny because when I had just watched Saiki K I had the impression that Akechi was a really unpopular character. I never really saw him mentioned anywhere, and when I did see something about him it was people saying how annoying they found him. I thought I was in the tiny minority.

Then I logged into Tumblr.
