DA2 companions: Family edition
#Aveline and Varric are honorary Hawkes ofc#I'm gonna add a small reference to hawke to each companion (except the hawke siblings). kinda like the romance outfits but more subtle#anyways. this is ancient it's been in my drafts for months but gave them a few touch ups and they look a little bit less like ass#varric and aveline I drew this past week and I feel like it's very obvious but I'm not redrawing the other 3 just for stylistic coherence#dragon age#dragon age 2#dragon age ii#da2#da2 fanart#da fanart#dragon age fanart#carver hawke#bethany hawke#aveline vallen#varric tethras

Hi Gigi :3
Are we gonna get a hold them down animation? Or no because the uncomforty topic?
that's up for the future to decide
I'll be busy with commissions up until february I think, so util then I won't be working on any Epic animatics
and then once I have time again I'll finish God Games
and after that I kinda want to do Legendary-
#why do I draw like I'm running out of time#every day I draw like I'm running out of time#I would definitely enjoy making a hold them down animatic#the vocals on this song are simply too divine I love Antinous' voice so much#like when he died I actually got kinda upset just because I wanted to hear him sing more#even though the song is a bit too dark for what I normally work on I think I could make it work in my style#I'd just make the gruesome descriptions these very subtle drawings that wouldn't last long#and let the lyrics get the message across better than the visuals#gigi's asks#epic the musical

I do think Blazing Saddles handled its one depiction of native americans very poorly, and the full extent of its representation of chinese workers on the railroad is they were literally just there. not even one single speaking line. unclear if this is worse or better than the redface.
it's fucking phenomenal at lampooning antiblack racism though. extremely blatant, extremely funny satire, which is constantly and loudly saying "racism is the philosophy of the terminally stupid at best and morally depraved at worst, and we should all be pointing and laughing at them 24/7"
plus the main character is a heroic black man who has to navigate a whole lot of bullshit but is constantly smirking at the extraordinarily stupid racists and inviting the audience into the joke. the one heroic white character is a guy who was suicidally depressed until he met the protagonist and they just instantly became buds, and he's firmly in a supporting role the whole time and happy to be there. the protagonist saves the day with the help of his black friends from the railroad, and uses the position of power he was given to uplift not only those friends, but all the railroad workers of other minorities too, in an explicit show of solidarity.
anyone saying "Blazing Saddles is racist" had better be talking about its treatment of non-black minorities. it had better not be such superficial takes as "oh but they say the n-word all the time" or "they have nazis and the kkk in there!" because goddamn if that's the full extent of your critique I very seriously suggest you read up on media analysis. there is too much going over your head, you need to learn to recognize satire.
#blazing saddles#finx watches tv#finx rambles#I recognize that I'm saying all this as someone who's not black#but I am also saying it as someone with a basic understanding of race relations in the usa#and a basic understanding of sarcasm#bc it really does not take more than that to recognize what they're doing in this movie#it is NOT subtle#and it is very funny#mel brooks movies are kinda hit or miss for me ngl#men in tights is great if a bit too crass for my taste#spaceballs has great jokes but the central story lacks any real heart so it doesn't grab me#history of the world was just kind of unpleasant and then I switched it off#but blazing saddles? phenomenal#I could not stop laughing the whole way through#and the central story DOES have heart bc it's the friendship between bart and#whassisname#jim#the Kid#plus bart working out how to succeed at an impossible task#also frankly cleavon little just grounds the comedy really well even before gene wilder shows up and we get their chemistry#bc he's cool calm collected and constantly inviting the audience into the joke#but the character's not too cool to ever mess up or ever be silly#he makes bad choices and gets into bad situations and then has to get himself out of them#but it's.....oh wait duh there's a term for this already#he's the straight man#he grounds all the zany nonsense by being in strong contrast to it#and he does a great job of it!#anyway#point is I deeply enjoyed this movie and I'm glad I finally watched it

the dynamic of demigods thinking which other demigod is the most powerful is always amusing to me because. like, we know the big 3 kids are all the most powerful. That's just a fact of their universe. And then we know nearly every character views Percy as the strongest demigod, and most people are very rightfully intimidated by him.
and you look at the powers of the Big 3 kids and there's Percy, but then you realize Nico is just kind of objectively more powerful than him but simply chooses to hang out in Percy's shadow like he's Percy's scary dog privileges. Like, the two of them are pretty equally capable of causing multiple different apocalypses. Nico just also has like four different instakill powers and it's not like he doesn't use them. He very much uses them! Not infrequently, even! And they don't seem to take a significant amount of energy from him! And other demigods are pretty intimidated by both of them! But Nico makes a conscious point to keep his cards close to his chest and not let on exactly how dangerous and scary he can be if he wants to. People are already scared enough of him without knowing anything about him and he doesn't like that. Percy doesn't think about that nearly as much, and so usually just goes in guns blazing and that's part of why he's considered a wildcard. And then Nico himself puts Percy on a pedestal, so those who do know more about Nico's abilities then presume Nico knows something they don't about Percy that implies Percy is even stronger than him.
And even on a meta level Nico's narrative role requires him to be functionally more powerful than Percy, because he very often serves the purpose of getting Percy out of situations he can't handle on his own. That's just part of his function as a character! But also narratively he can't overshadow Percy so he just takes a backseat of his own accord and that's very amusing to me.
#pjo#percy jackson#riordanverse#nico di angelo#i will also note it is implied though we never see that Hazel has the exact same powers as Nico#and Hazel has trained with her powers way longer than Nico has plus is older so theoretically is more powerful already#she killed a giant all by herself. sank a small island. and successfully subdued Gaea for like another 60 years#so given that + her also having Nico's powers then *Hazel* is theoretically the strongest demigod no contest#Jason and Thalia end up kind of nerfed by the plot in that neither is allowed to overshadow Percy either#but they dont play the same roles that characters like Nico do - Nico keeps getting stupid abilities just for convenience factor#and Bianca never got the opportunity to use many powers besides astral projection/dream manipulation and similarly hades kid illusion stuff#and general ghost stuff. and she does all that as a ghost really. her killing the skeleton wasnt even her powers that was just a normal sta#and it was just by virtue of her being a hades kid and fulfilling the ''can kill these skeletons'' requirement that it blew up#technically she also showcases underworld immunity with the lethe stuff wearing off but that's very subtle#Hazel also doesnt play the same role as Nico and so doesnt get to showcase all that#plus is similarly nerfed with the ''cant be cooler than Percy'' constraint and so never gets to really do anything#even though logistically she is the most powerful and should showcase the full extent of her abilities to the same degree as Percy and Nico#Jason at least gets a little bit more wiggle room than Thalia being a main protagonist#Nico just gets the most wiggle room out of both not being a protagonist and being functionally a dues ex machina most of the time#versus Thalia or Bianca who are only ever secondary or supporting characters

Hi! I just wanted to know if in the following days to come if mychael would follow more intense Yandere traits or instead mellow more out?
Hello! I feel like I ramble a bit here for such a simple question, but for those interested, spoilers under cut!
I've teased in asks before he will get intense as the story progresses, though for the sake of managing expectations, don't expect him to go all out just because it's Day 4.
Initially, I've considered multiple routes and endings for the next update, and by endings I mean True Bad Endings, but I might push them back so the pacing of the story doesn't feel jarring. Plus it lightens my load of writing multiple branches, something I always wanna avoid so I don't complicate things for myself.
I just feel that between the five sundowns after they separated at the end of Day 3 it'd be enough time for him to sort through his thoughts and come to a conclusion on how he feels. Nothing drastic, but there's definitely something that changed in him if that makes sense.
So while he's not fully unhinged (the door still functions so to speak), he's definitely growing loose,,,, I started out with the intent of writing a slow burn and I'd be remiss if I mess that up!
#mushroom oasis vn#mychael ask#bts#cheea chatter#light spoilers#i took a while to answer this because initially i wasnt sure how far i should crank it up writing Day 4 and 5#but then again i promised a slow burn#im sorry to make yall wait for actual yandere!Mychael but I just feel like that tipping point would be so worth it with a bit more buildup#so while the changes may be subtle you never know what itll take for things to crack and fall apart#and hey more content for you guys in future days! //sweats as i realize that's more work for me too but IM BEING PASSIONATE ABOUT IT

One of my favourite details about the Feldspar subplot in Outer Wilds is that (in my experience) I always find Feldspar to be a little bit of an asshole compared to what I'd expect after hearing what the others around the village have to say about them. The rose-coloured glasses of grief and old legend have settled around their image back on Timber Hearth so much, and the person to be found on Dark Bramble isn't a disappointment in the afterglow of that, but they are a lot more three-dimensional. They're a little patronizing sometimes ("...You never were the brightest hatchling, were you?" isn't exactly the response I would give to an exclamation about myself being improbably still living), and listening to them talk about their own heroism is just slightly more offputting than when the villagers back home do it. There's still a genuine fire there, a strong love of exploration and an admirable boldness that leaves no question how their passion took this project to the stars...but they're a lot closer to a neighbour, when found, than a hero with a ten-foot-tall image. A neighbour who can be a little annoying sometimes, in spite of the laundry list of impressive things they've done. I like that a lot. I like that the grief smoothed them out too much, in the minds of the Hearthians, and that finding them living roughs that impression up just enough to be real again.
#outer wilds#outer wilds feldspar#original posts#this game has a volume of things to say about grief and I am not normal about any of them#but the feldspar plot is i think a little more subtle#yet still so in line with the main themes#about losing and letting go#and all the many many many different ways there are to think about that and reactions there are to have#also for the record I enjoy feldspar as a character a lot#no hate <3#i just think they can be a lil gremlin sometimes and it always catches me off guard#In fairness though. also. They have been out there alone for a Very Long Time.#they've probably forgotten how to people a little bit

INSIDE NO. 9 - S6E2 "Simon Says" | Guillem directing the podcast scene
From the BBC Sounds pod:
Steve: Well, what comes out of the podcast scene, the way we played it – and I think that was really beautifully directed, by the way, by Guillem Morales, who directed this episode – he decided to, sort of, be quite close on me and pull further back during the scene, really slowly; and quite distant on you, and push in quite slowly. So during that podcast scene, you've got this, sort of, transference of power – it's quite subtle, but it was really clever – because at the end of it, Simon is putting into his place his plan, which is to get himself an audition. So that he not only wants to help him write this project, he actually wants to be in it as well.
#in9#inside no 9#inside no. 9#in9 commentaries#simon says#guillem morales#reece shearsmith#steve pemberton#hope this works!! bc it was more difficult to do than expected#the camera pushes ARE pretty subtle so i went down the route of showing the gradual difference between simon & spencer#guillemmm i love his work on the show & this episode#i don't think this was something i even noticed on first/second watch#but relistening/watching a few weeks ago i stared at this bit & it was satisfying to notice those pushes#and also this scene is so well written & acted!!#"presumably you didn't set out to write a terrible ending”#<- something r has said about how nobody sets out to write a piece of shit#“so you listen to the good reviews. just not the bad ones”#<- what are the odds someone has said that to them/r irl#vagueeyes.pdf

I look at this usually gruff, sarcastic man with a body made to eat me for protein.
His skin is paler yet his face is flushed a rare red. He trembles in his seat, several layers of his clothing, his armor, lay hazardously on the ground around him as he quakes with the heat in his bones. His dark hair sticks to the his forehead, shining with sweat.
I stand in front of him all the more aware of how minuscule I usually feel around him. How frail.
Yet he is the frail one now. Him with his battle scars and gun clutched tight in a shaking hand. Him with his weakly glaring yet somehow also pleading eyes. Him with a pathetically dazed look and a frown tugging at his lips as he pants, chest heaving with each breath.
I look at him and I think, “Well, I’ve gotta fuck him now; it’s a rule!”
#dc#batfamily#dc comics#jason todd#batfam#batman#jason todd x oc#jason todd x reader#I saw this fanart of him looking so dazed and pathetic and something snapped inside of me#something clicked into place#i couldn’t exactly fix him (though I’d definitely manage to encourage him to do so himself)#I’m saying I could fuck him stupid enough that he doesn’t have to think about anything or anyone else#like his daddy issues or his torturer issues or his mommy issues or his—#I’m just saying if he’s only thinking about me he doesn’t exactly have the mental capacity to think about his own deeply engrained trauma#I was going to start this with#‘I look at this ____ then I RIPPED MY CLOTHES OFF AND WE GOT NAKED—‘#but I chose something a bit more subtle#you’re welcome
