is Jinx screaming Isha’s name but being held back by Vi not meant to mirror the time Isha screamed for Jinx in the prison but was held back by Sevika

time for more rambling with frontier

this is just a general lore exploration of new game's world tbh!

in new game, the universe is based off of archie heavily--the characters live on mobius, teleporter rings are commonly used, the freedom fighters exist, moebius and other parallel worlds are a thing, stuff like that. but also it takes elements from idw, as in there are more modern interpretations of things than there were in archie! mainly just, what characters exist and which ones dont lol. i want starline and surge and kit to exist at some point in the world (not in the story, mind) but also sally and fiona are there too. ngl i even considered throwing manic and sonia in there but im still tossing that idea around honestly

some things that i kept around from archie include sonic having jules as his dad--yes the roboticized one--but jules "passed" way before the story starts. hell i figure he passed before the events of sa1, and same for sonic's mom bernadette. as for scourge, i figured his mom passed way earlier on, a little while after he was born, so his father jules was tasked with raising him (and he did kind of a shit job of it). with manic and sonia im torn on that bc id have to make it to where they were the children of bernadette and not aleena like in underground so im not sure what to do with them yet. but i love them a lot so idk. might go thru with it eventually. but i only bring them up because scourge does NOT have siblings, which if manic and sonia were a thing would be a very big difference between both worlds' sonics too

im also tryna figure out silver's deal. because i insanely love his 06 lore over the archie lore, but hes kind of essential to scourge's story in archie in hedgehog havoc, so i think what im gonna do is combine them and have silver come back to destroy sonic as the iblis trigger while still keeping it in a lowkey archie context. somehow. i'll figure it out lol. hes not rly relevant in new game so this is just extra lore for me to think about

and like ive mentioned many times before, new game takes place in the future after the events of frontiers, so the characters have aged significantly! the youngest is tails who is now 14 ^^ everyone else is in their early-to-mid 20s

uhhh thats enough for now i think! yippe

cannery king

hihi :] changed Grace & Martha's occupation again! Now they work at a cannery.

as is obvious I like giving my OCs oftentimes irrelevant/useless titles or epithets because it's FUNNN and I was thinking of one like "carpenter king" (as in Jesus) for Grace and I had a couple ideas...."cannery king" was my first choice, but I considered some that were more endearing and lined up with her gender like "princess of the cannery", but "cannery king" had more weighty connotations imo? the image of a heavy crown comes to mind, all that responsibility, and also "king" having a male connotation just further exemplifies that this role doesn't fit Grace. :] yippe

Grace's pose was inspired by various Ecce Homo paintings (BEHOLD THE MAN!! BEHOLD THE SHATTERED KING!!/ref) and the hands are slightly SLIGHTLY VERY SLIGHTLY inspired by The Creation Of Adam, as Martha has a liiitle bit of Adam stuff associated with her (trusting her lover more than god, gaining knowledge she maybe would rather do without, plus her parallel Charles could be a little bit of an Adam with his thirst for knowledge but I'm not going too hard with that)

Liveblogging HBP

HBP is on tv whoo.  (uh spoilers for HBP.  Dumbledore kills Thanos.)

Man all the romance stuff is awkward.  Esp when Harry is drooling over Malfoy and the HBP the whole movie.  Wish the Ron and Hermione stuff had been done better.  Rupert and Emma are both good actors, I don’t doubt they could have sold the heck out of it, but they barely have any scenes together where they’re not awkwardly avoiding eye contact.  How is that romantic, I ask you, David Yates?  

It’s the same with Harry/Ginny.  Harry/Hermione looks better because they actually enjoy being around each other.  Luna/Harry, too, because their scenes are cute and funny.  Heck, Harry/Malfoy even works better because even though the emotion between them is hate, it’s sooooo intense and far more compelling than awkwardness.

I will say, tho, that HARRY’s awkwardness in the Ron/Hermione scenes is hilarious.

You know what we don’t appreciate enough?  The thought and craftsmanship that went into creating the look and feel of the wizarding world, the visual worldbuilding done by the designers and artists.  Every time I watch one of these films, I’m blown away by the set design, the costumes, and how they basically build completely new design conventions from the ground up.  Shout out to MinaLima, the graphic design team.  Also costume designers Judianna Makovsky, Lindy Hemming, Jany Temine and their teams.  And whoever did the other props and vfx and sets and music and concept art and gjftygrdgvhjftu SO much great work went into these films it’s crazy.

Also, I never noticed that the girl’s uniforms have trousers instead of skirts in the winter—neato!

Snape at the Slug Club party is fuckin hilarious.  Man, they should’ve given Alan Rickman more comedic scenes.  Shoulda been more Sneep scenes in this movie in particular, given how it ends.

Wish werewolf Remus had eaten at least one Death Eater at some point.

I never noticed that the pensieve in this one is floating on thin air.  Super neato.

Why is Draco just walking around in a full suit?  At school.  Like, he packed formal wear to kill Dumbledore in.

Is it weird that I want more blood in the Sectumsempra scene?  And I think the choice to have no more dialogue after the curse was right, but I mourn the loss of “Roonil Waslib?” “It’s my nickname.”

Oh man, Harry has more chemistry with Snape’s potions book than he does with Ginny in the Room of Requirement scene.

Dude, even the fucking vanishing cabinet is so cool looking.  The design team don’t fuck around.

Felix Felicitus may be my favorite DanRad moment in the whole series.  

Dumbledore: *stares at Harry* It seems I have found another [Horcrux].  But this time I cannot hope to destroy it alone.  Once again I must ask too much of you, Harry.

Me: *from the back, mouth full of popcorn* HE’S SAYING YOU’RE A HORCRUX, HARRY. 

Dumbledore: *casually acknowledges he knew about the cupboard and did jack shit about it*

I love how in the inferi cave scene, Harry, under Dumby’s orders, poisons him and if Snape hadn’t come along, probably would have been the one to kill him.  That’s some grim shit, sure to traumatize Harry for years.  Fun!  Also Snape/Harry parallels are my fav.

Dunno about the choice to make such a pivotal scene black and white.  Would’ve liked to see just a bit of color, used selectively.

The inferi are one of the few creature designs I’m disappointed by.  Wish they were more human looking.  Or just, ya know, scary period.

Guys the soundtrack is soooooo good.

Draco fuckin changed into his Dumbledore killing suit.  Gotta look fresh when ur murdering the headmaster.

Snape should say “Yippe kay yay, motherfucker” when he knocks Dumbledore off the tower.

Really can’t understand why there are so many Harry and Hermione scenes without Ron in this movie.  At the end, it’s just the two of them having a touching conversation, and then the camera pans to show that Ron is also there, sitting a few feet away, waiting for them to include him or something lmao.  It’s really like Ron’s just a part of their trio for comedic relief.  Why u do this, film?

And film’s over.  Many questionable choices were made, but I still love this shit and the nostalgia is real.  Aw man, now I wanna write that one HP chaptered fic I have, but I lost all my outlines months ago.  Arg.
