HOLY FUCKING TALOS

the biggest problem with writing fantasy in english is that there's really no alternate universe phrasing that carries the exact tone and context to the reader as "jesus fucking christ"

For any Nevermoor fans that've ever been interested in getting their hands on the UK hardcover editions of the series, with the wonderful cover designs..... I think they might be out of print (which. makes sense with the gold foil) so. goodluck and godspeed for finding them secondhand, because it was surprisingly hard to do online.

And as last of the bunch, we have... Ultra Sonic ! ( Hyper Sonic is here if you haven't seen him ) Packed full of various details, and if you can point out some from previous character pages, good on you !

This wasn't the first, uh, iteration of the design, the first one was literally just me throwing stuff at the screen in a bad doodle and making EVERYTHING GLOW like crazy ! It's not good, but tbh those glowy bits are pretty cool i think.

MAJOR eyestrain warning below !!! Like that is neon upon neon right there, caution !

My mind is just a constant stream of "Three Houses" lyrics at this point—not that I'm complaining! 🐺🐷🏠 The full text from the thought bubble is under the cut :)

[image ID: two digital drawings. The first drawing features a smiling person from the chest up with one hand on their cheek and the other supporting their elbow. A thought bubble above their head contains jumbled lyrics from the musical "Three Houses," color-coded based on which house the line is from: green for Susan, purple for Sadie, and blue for Beckett.

[The second drawing features the same person on their knees against a plain yellow background, with their face obscured as they clutch a "Three Houses" album to their chest. The album is a basic square with the promotional image of Scott Stangland wearing a wolf mask, which was used for official promotions. Above and below the person are the words, "Save me, Three Houses... Save me!" End image ID.]

if i really wanted to i could contrast the old guard 2020 and diabolik 2021 as comic book adaptations and the different ways they approach both adapting their source material i.e. diabolik as an adaptation is both paying homage to its source material constantly and regularly reminding you that it is a comic book adaptation whereas the old guard is more trying to make a regular action movie based on a comic book, drawing occasional visual parallels that won't be recognisable unless the viewer is familiar with the source material. both are also adapting the story in some way for film, but diabolik stays much more strictly to the book it's adapting while the old guard makes a lot of changes (afaik there's almost nothing from the comics verbatim) but keeps the core of the story and essential scenes in. something interesting there about diabolik reminding us of the series' origin as comics probably due to a) its long-running history and b) cultural icon status (source: me and my powerpoint) vs the old guard falling into what i might call the current style of comic book adaptation where the focus is on appealing to a wide audience, comics fans or not, to the point where you might not even know it's based on a comic outside of marketing. but also essentially i think a comic book adaptation should match the tone of its original, which they both do: the old guard is a darker, more serious, more "adult" comic, and so it follows that the adaptation largely follows that tone (save for one or two parts that to me feel very recognisably comic book style), whereas diabolik is, albeit technically also for adults, a different genre / tone. and then there's something else to be said there in the evolution of comics considered adult, e.g. diabolik considered adult in the context of its first publishing because it contained crime and killing but generally becoming considered one of the more tame examples of the subgenre it spawned, vs the old guard being adult in terms of current standards via depicting sex / nudity / swearing / violence far beyond the scope of diabolik, which is pretty much unchanged. anyway these two things are not really connected beyond "both being comic book movie adaptations released in the 2020s featuring notable italian luca marinelli in a somewhat major role as a character who says vaguely ominous things and largely emotes through microexpressions" but it's fun to think about sometimes

Hi! I just recently finished all of the canon TBS content and I’m now such a huge fan!! I’m really normal about Mark (lying).

I had a few questions! In your idea of post-TCT, does Alex ever reunite with the Unusuals? Do Mark and Beck realize they in fact have TWO troubled friends in common? What was Alex up to in the three years since TAMA if not reconnecting with his friends??

Thank you!

GREAT question!! I definitely think that Alex reunites with the Unusuals--in fact, I don't think he ever fell fully out of touch with them.

After everything that happened in A Neon Darkness, I think the Unusuals have a bit of a difficult time really relaxing around each other and also figuring out their own individual relationships to their abilities. And for Alex in particular, he had to focus a lot of his energy into controlling his power after everything Isaiah did to him and also dealing with his drug addiction. So, I think, out of all of them, he kinda fell off the face of the earth for long periods of time (as he was already prone to do) and then when things got really bad, I think Indah and Neon probably helped him get to The AM in California that eventually transferred him to Boston.

Marley--Beck, that is--probably moved away a few years after the events of AND. I bet he had semi regular phone calls with Neon as he was going through grad school, and then probably hosted Neon and Indah when they moved East (I think they're now somewhere in Maine or Vermont or something). I don't know how often they see each other, and I think Beck is probably extremely protective of them, so hasn't mentioned them to anyone he knows.

I think after the events of TAMA, Alex spends a lot of time recovering and taking it easy at, like, a nice spa somewhere. I also think he and Beck probably have seen each other a few times--once Alex realized he was on the East Coast, I bet he texted Beck and was like "hey, I'm in a weird hospital in Boston, wanna come up and visit me?" which I'm sure Mark and Beck realize at some point! I like to think they all get together for a coffee or something. Even though Beck has been texting and talking on the phone with the rest of the Unusuals for ten years, he does miss hanging out in person with them, so he, Alex, and Mark all probably become buds and spend time together while Alex is still recovering at the Boston AM.

I'd guess that, now, Alex is somewhere quieter - possibly with Indah and Neon at the summer camp for Atypical teens that I've always imagined they run. And I'd wager that he keeps in much more consistent touch with his friends when he's not actively with them - now that he has his power under control, and is sober, he can really begin the journey of healing that he's been wanting to go on for a long time, and I think he and Mark really help each other in that regard. Actually, I bet they eventually get to such a good place as individuals that they look at Beck and are like "okay, dude, your turn, you have NOT dealt with the PTSD that you have from your time in the military and also the whole thing with Isaiah, and then Blackwell, and also seeing everyone's gruesome pasts, literally how are you standing right now" and they make him go to therapy lol.

We're so happy you love our show!! Thanks for the question!

[ Nikke spoilers for mid September 2024 update mini story / my comments on it. ]

Closeted trans dudes dressing up at the family function like:

It's such a familiar scene, for family to see you dressing up out of obligation and then being like, 'Oh, NOW you're so beautiful, you should do this more often.' And internally, your body is screaming that it feels so wrong, why did you perform your perceived gender for this event! Or like, for me personally too, the whole missing the vibe of the event and dressing up way more than anyone else, and then feeling so out of place. I've joked before about Red Hood having older brother vibes, maybe she has trans vibes for me too now, lol.

Also, strange that Liliweiss is saying 'for the future' to Red Hood. Who, y'know, is basically terminally ill (corrupted). Red Hood doesn't 'have' a future, she just has the present and past. At this point in this mini-story thing (I'm assuming it takes place around the time of the Red Ash event), is Liliweiss aware of the plans to integrate Red Hood into Rapi, and therefore 'have' a future? Or am I just reading into this way too much? Lol. Just sounded like a really weird and inconsiderate thing to say to her.

-

That aside, why the fuck did y'all vote the dress over the other two Red Hood skins?! I'm so disappointed, the other two were way cooler and not out of character:

((I mean, I guess it's technically in-character since it's canon now, and has to do with 'old music' but c'mon, man...))

Image description below cut:

First image: Red Hood from Nikke: Goddess of Victory is in a strappy and revealing dress. It's the same colour as her hair. She's embarrassed and standing next to a gramophone, while holding a champagne glass. She is also wearing fingerless half-palm leather gloves. Text: Red Hood: Oh jeez, I can't do this! I just can't!

Next two images: Text: Dialogue:

Commander: You did well in that outfit.

Red Hood: Anything was better than staying at that party, even fighting raptures. I've never been so glad to have a bunch of them show up.

Rapunzel: Your dress is all dirty, though. And the hem is all torn...

Red Hood: Who cares? It's not like I'm going to be wearing this ever again.

Liliweiss: Why not? I thought you'd be keeping it for the future.

Red Hood: No thanks. Not a chance.

Snow White: That's too bad. At least I finally got to see you all dressed up. Can I at least take a picture for posterity?

Red Hood: Absolutely not. I don't want to leave any evidence of this humiliating sight.

Last three images are the Red Hood skins/appearances that we voted on. First image is the feminine dress with the gramophone mentioned before, which won the poll. Second image is Red Hood on a motorcycle with a leather jacket, crop top, mini shorts, and thigh highs. Third image is Red Hood standing next to a wolf, and she is wearing form-fitted high-rise pants, a strappy harness bra-top and collar, and a cropped blazer.
