anyone making an adaptation of the life of wolfgang amadeus mozart for some reason

[cloud-ya]

no idea which doodle of sleeping shadow it is of mine, very likely not last. there's something poetic about tough-acting characters allowing themselves to be so vulnerable

and something that looks like you'd find it foraging in your backyard dumpster

There are no more heroes.

Well, okay. Rewind a bit.

Danny has been doing the hero thing for a while now. He’s had a big reveal; everyone has accepted him (including his parents), the GIW disbanded, the Anti-Ecto acts repealed, and generally, everything is going great. Some of the A-Listers are even training as junior ghost hunters to help give him a break from his rogues! (Being Ghost King makes things hectic sometimes, and he just needs the extra help. Sue him!)

The point is, literally nothing is wrong with Danny Phantom’s afterlife.

And then Valerie Gray, the Red Huntress, disappears in front of his eyes.

Danny is baffled! She’s just…gone! Valerie just popped out of existence, like she was never there. But no matter how hard he searches in the Ghost Zone, he can’t find her soul anywhere. His core isn't broken in grief. So she’s not dead. Which is good. So then, where is she?

Some of the others come forward with ideas on how to find her. A few ghosts volunteer to go out into the mortal realm, an area Danny had declared off-limits, to see if she was out there. Danny approves it. He rounds up some of the friendlier (i.e., discreet) ghosts and Amity Parkers and demolishes the outside travel ban.

So everyone spreads out, looking for their dear frenemy and teammate. But it becomes apparent very quickly that something is wrong with the rest of the world.

There are no more heroes.

Every single living superhero on the face of the Earth has just…vanished. Villains are running amok; the countries are in chaos! Some aliens are invading Earth, mythical deities are trying to take over, and society is crumbling to the ground. Everything is on the brink of collapse.

Well, Danny was still there. And so were his people. They were pretty spread out, so could they just…take up the mantles? He also knew where to find the souls of dead heroes in the Zone; surely they wouldn't mind coming out of retirement for a little bit, especially if they couldn't die again. Oh! And that skeleton army leftover from Pariah Dark's reign might be useful in repelling those invading forces.

Honestly, there were more than enough hands to go around! And with the heroes gone, Danny didn't mind letting everyone out for a little break, as long as they followed his rules. They wouldn't stop the search for the other heroes, but hopefully, when they found them, the heroes wouldn't mind Danny's intervention too much. :)

In other words:

Someone fucks up, and all of Earth's living heroes are either wished out of existence or are whisked away to some far-off realm where Danny hasn't checked yet. In the attempt to figure out what's going on, Danny lets the dead run amok over the Earth as they search for clues. The skeleton army repels the invading armies, the souls of dead heroes deal with the world leaders, and his rogues and other Amity Parkers set up shop in place of famous heroes, trying to get the cities under control again.

Basically, they just do their best to keep everything from imploding until the Justice League and others are back.

(And why is it that Danny hasn't disappeared? Well, whatever caused everyone to go poof! only affected living heroes. Anyone heroes that were dead in the first place, or even just half-dead, stayed behind.)

ok guys not to be completely dramatic but I just had a deep shower thought about ganondorf's theme from a music theory perspective, and oh my god?????? oh my fucking god?????????? koji kondo you magnificient bastard?????? how DARE you be so smart about everything???????

[crimeronan]

it's sometimes so silly to look in the notes of a polyamory art/post and see people like "is this cheating art....?" when the characters in canon are all extremely close friends. i know it's not malicious because most people think of monogamy as the default and anything outside that Must be cheating, but truly i'm always like. guys. guys Please.

please think about this for like 2 seconds.

under what circumstances do we think this non-canon couple might hold hands directly in front of their canon partners. and under what circumstances do we think the canon partners might be okay with this. do we Truly think this is a secret relationship. do we Truly think these guys would sneak around behind their canon partners' backs when all of them are extremely close friends with a high level of trust and commitment to each other.

would assuming that these extremely close friends have actually communicated with one another Exactly The Same Way They Do In The Canon Source Material perhaps cause less despair.....

Why did nobody fucking tell me that the Japanese conversation between Sonic and Silver in TSR was thousands of leagues better than what we got in English??

Screenies taken from video: https://youtu.be/Qku_5yHwWPc?si=y-jQQW2F5Rbjxcui

There is no infantilisation of Silver here! No stupid remarks that he doesn't get "trash talk" of all things! Just Sonic being a lovely friend trying to cheer up his good friend (and won't stop talking about how he hasn't seen him in a while, how cute!)

I'm genuinely angry, what was wrong with this conversation that the localisation team said "oh no, we can't have THAT, it doesn't mischaracterise Silver enough!". The little detail that Silver is a little exasperated by Sonic's unseriousness is also very good.

They fixed Knuckles' writing lately, I can only pray the ENG localisation team wake up and realise Silver has a very tired following.

What astonishes me about the use of the term "washerwoman" for Siuan to justify not telling her story is the underlying and unwarranted disdain there.

Beyond the fact that reducing her character post-stilling to a washerwoman makes as much sense as calling Lan a stable boy because he is around horses, I don't understand how anyone using the description of a character through the manual labor they sometimes do could justify making it an insult, even in the context of the universe, given that multiple characters are nicknamed after their job and everyone accepts it as affectionate: sheepherder, innkeeper's daughter, blacksmith, wisdom.

Somehow, the fact that the Amyrlin gets her hands dirty more often (and again she very much is not a "washerwoman", Min washes more clothes than she does. Stop parroting that), despite the fact she comes from humbler background than the EF5 and is proud of her roots, is seen as derogatory.

Even in the context of the show, Moiraine filling her own tub or Nynaeve cleaning the pool isn't depicted as demeaning but it would be for Siuan?

The reason why her storyline is problematic in the books isn't because she loses her rank, it's because Bryne treats her like his personal maid and obviously revels in the fact she was once the most powerful woman in the land and is bound to obey him now.

A dynamic that was obviously discarded the moment Siuan and Moiraine were revealed to be a thing, so I really don't know what they think they are saving her character from here.
