"The Greatest Travelling Circus!"

Finally finished the designs for this AU!! Some of them may be subject to change but this is how they're looking for now!

From the "Greatest Show" animatic, the idea behind this AU is that Pomni finds herself as the new jester in this troupe of Caine's fantastical circus! She can't.. really remember how she got there, but why would she want to leave when it's so much fun? The show must go on, after all! Who knows what could happen if it doesn't? Planning on expanding more on this AU with animatics and extra art sometime! I hope some are interested!

I'm only just now looking at Batman and Robin: Year One, and right off the bat, I noticed Waid has already made a connection to his writing from Batman vs. Robin #3.

In Batman vs. Robin, Dick, while under a possession that made him air his deepest grievances, berated Bruce for taking him away from the joy and recognition he got as a performer in the circus, and instead of getting to continue that experience, Dick Grayson was hidden behind a mask.

Batman vs. Robin #3

In Batman and Robin: Year One, Bruce brings up the fact that only a few weeks ago, Dick had an adoring crowd chanting his name. Now, in the present, Dick is masked and anonymous.

As I’ve told you, Louis, each vampire selects his victims in his own way. The world is a veritable wilderness of singular beauties and each night too precious to allow for the slightest waste. Each night is a wedding, really, and the vampire is wed to the unique and alluring charms of that victim as surely as he is wed to that victim’s life. You hold the spirit incarnate in your arms.

For some of us, monstrous breed that we are, and such a discerning and voracious company, it is the struggle that holds the quintessential fulfillment, the thrashing of the waning lover seems to soothe the preternatural soul. This is nonsense, really. These innocent and unsuspecting victims can’t really struggle against a power such as our own. What lurks beneath these gentlemanly trappings is a strength that is unconquerable. Yet there are vampires who crave the semblance of battle, saying that it is the human spirit they love, its endurance, its faith.

… They summon me. The long for me. Gentleman Death, that has been my epithet, and I so treasure it. What gentleman can refuse a lady, after all?

why did we ever move on from here

I see there's posts floating around directly and blatantly arguing against mine (same wording) by completely misunderstanding what I said. I'm fucking BACK, babey. Should've bought some hay-scented fragrance while I was at Sephora today, because I am once again your strawman!

my controversial tdv opinion is that mark seibert's krolock is good, actually. like i get why we clown on mark. i do. i do. but his krolock is actually. he's a bitch. he's a clown. he has the STRONGEST dad energy. he will PERFECTLY play the part of the lovestruck hero for sarah if that's what she wants and then will go and hiss at a bunch of vampires like they're misbehaving kittens.

other krolocks might have more consistent performances, but BECAUSE he switches it up so often it gives his krolock the feeling of being a fucking chameleon. he will lure you in by pretending to be so earnest and sincere and a little bit goofy and then he'll rip your throat out. and then he'll turn and go back to being a little goofy with his son.

ella ella ella tell me about the key around kristen’s neck?!?! recurring in multiple drawings??? pls i must know

OHOHOHOHO I'm gonna be so real, I didn't think anyone would notice that in the midst of the doodle chaos. I should have known.

so. aasimar au kristen in junior year has exactly one (1) recurring necklace and she wears it literally every single day and it's actually not a necklace, it's just a key she stuck on a chain. what's the key for, you ask? well, the gukgak apartment, of course.

because I love you (and I am. so incredibly insane about her and her key even though it hasn't published yet) have a snippet under the cut

Sklonda leaves him, hopping down off the platform. She strolls over to the table, where Kristen is slumped in her cocoon of stolen blankets. She digs around in her pocket, and produces something. She reaches forward, and grabs Kristen’s hand, dragging it out of the blanket nest. She sets it down, and curls Kristen’s fingers around it. “Pull in on the handle when you’re turning, it’s sticky. And you better eat lunch, too, sweetie. I’ll know if you don’t.” She pulls Kristen down and leans up on her tiptoes to kiss Kristen’s forehead. Then she’s sweeping past and out, closing the door and shouting, “Have a good day!” after her.

Kristen blinks. She looks down at her hand, and uncurls her fingers. There’s a tiny key on her palm, the ridged teeth gleaming up at her. The curled loop of metal, designed to clip onto a key ring, winks lazily up at Kristen like an eye. Her whole world condenses down to a single point of focus, like looking through a pinhole. Her heart stutters in her chest. She barely feels like she’s breathing, her chest tight. 

She is, suddenly, wide awake. It’s so routine, the way it was delivered. Casual, unassuming. As if it’s not absolutely everything. 

It’s not as if any of the Bad Kids are incapable of getting into any of each other’s homes. It’s laughably easy. They all know the windows with weak locks and where the extra keys are hidden around the stoops and the code to the gates. 

But this isn’t that. It isn’t breaking into somewhere you know you’re welcome to enter at any time. It’s about the symbol of it. This isn’t the guest key. This is Kristen’s key.

My first instinct was to get pissed at him on my Zoro’ss behalf, but after some thought I’m more worried that we’re genuinely starting to fucking lose Sanji. Cause this tone and phrasing is so strangely personal? Maybe he’s trying to motivate him, but to me this feels a little more in line with the comments he was making to Jinbe earlier that feel a bit like they might be caused by the mutation…? And I understand Jinbe being worried that Zoro is taking so long with Lucci, but for Sanji to react like this is so odd, since a constant in their rivalry is mutual trust. Why the hell is he sounding like on of his own fans on powerscaling twitter.

Max knows Charles is leagues above Carlos. The moment he saw a Ferrari show up in the P3 spot and realized it was Carlos, it wasn't a "oh, I guess Carlos did a good job" nope it was "well if Carlos is here, something bad must have happened to Charles, there's no way there's a Ferrari up here and it's not him??"

Like if he's asking "what happened to Charles?" in the cooldown room, that implies that he thinks something happened to Charles, and Charles wasn't just slower than Carlos, because to Max that is just clearly impossible.

It’s a pretty well-documented fact that the only drivers that Max rates as on his level on the current grid are Lewis and Charles, so I think he’s pretty shocked when either Carlos or George turn up to the cooldown room instead because in his head either something went wrong with the car or something went wrong in the team.

I will say as well for an extra (non-Lestappen) layer of context that could have Max picking a side in the Charlos civil war—Carlos WAS Max’s first F1 teammate (Versainz holding hands on a track walk you will always be famous) so I’m sure that Max is intimately aware of both Carlos’s talents relative to his own (and therefore, Charles’s) and also the ruthlessness of the Carlos camp (it’s an open secret that vibes were rancid at 2015 Torro Rosso). Max has more of a bone to pick with Carlos than the rest of the lecfosi, so it’s little surprise that he’s engaged in psychological warfare with the Sainz camp as soon as he could this season.

Watched Poor Things last night. If Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had been an oral tradition passed along among women and the Grimm Brothers collected and reinterpreted it, it would be Poor Things.
