#people with scars exist

I’m confused when for movies they hire handsome people (by hollywood beauty standards) and then go crazy with make up to make them ugly/interesting... just hire actors with non conventional faces??? like

I know asking Hollywood to not hire by their stupid standards is a lost cause but !!!! PEOPLE LIKE THAT ARE ALL OVER???

but no, let’s go crazy with make up instead of hiring actually interesting/normal/ugly people

Prompt 352

“Mother, I crave violence,” a small child interrupts the video call, practically clambering up into Nightingale’s chair. They look around five or so, with white hair and red eyes. Albino perhaps? 

“Ah, apologies, let me take care of this real quick,” Nightingale turns the microphone off when he gets a few acknowledging noises, picking the small child up and moving them from the room. 

“Cute kid,” Barry acknowledged from behind his coworker’s head, having been helping move things. Actually, the kid looked kind of familiar, though from where, who knew. Hard to remember everything with how fast his thoughts usually went. “I didn’t know Nightingale was a father…” 

Then again the specialist was notoriously private, and set most meetings online thanks to some sort of medical conditions. So he supposed it would make it easier to be a stay at home dad if he was there already…

TRANSMIGRATOR'S GUIDE TO: Florian Verwandlung

One morning, when the boy woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on a wet and sticky mass, and if he lifted his head he could see the half-formed wings that had furled around him in the night . . .

A meek, weak-willed boy with a perfect attendance record. He is easily pressured into doing things for the benefit of others. 

Below is more information about him.

PERSONALITY

It is easy to describe Florian as someone who views himself only worthy of doing his meager best for others. As is within the expectations of his family, he is diligent and studious, even if it only brings about average results. Sometimes, he can come to fixate on certain things that give him purpose or direction (such as people, his attendance streak, his family's expectations...)

Although he struggles with interaction, he cares more about the comfort of others than himself, having long internalized such a mindset. Lacking self-confidence, he is unable to assert himself and will go along with what others ask of him.

ABILITIES

Magic: Florian unlocked his magic a few years prior to being accepted into NRC, but was never formally trained. It is, presumably and at first glance, nothing more special than the average NRC student.

Insect Communication: For unknown reasons, Florian can speak to and partially control insects. Not that this usually serves much of a purpose.

Eyesight: Florian has exceptional, almost superhuman eyesight -- however, he rarely makes use of it.

TRIVIA

Florian never takes off his mask or eats in front of others. He also always wears long sleeves. The only exception to these two facts is if a rule dictates he must act otherwise.

Sometimes, phantom butterflies made of magic will follow him around. They will dissipate with a simple wave of the hand through them.

For all of middle school, he either took classes remotely or was totally absent.

His suit is the Nine of Spades.

Inspiration: The Metamorphosis

[perilegs]

i'm trying to watch a trans guy critique some video game trans rep bc i'm interested in hearing more trans ppl talk about it. but he's very. i'm paraphrasing here but "why would anyone ever in a million years want their rpg character to have top surgery scars. isnt that a constant reminder to you and everyone around you about how you were born" and "you don't work on transitioning. you just need hormone treatment and possibly some--"

this joke doesn't really work visually but i couldn't stop thinking about it

Season 8 was like 6 years ago(I feel old) and I know ppl have differing opinions on the Mr Echo thing (but it was intended, made it to storyboard and blocked animation and then dropped, soooo) but. I can see his recruitment p easily tbh. Bc the whole reason Dr J was in that lighthouse was because he was resurrected, forced there, and ordered to build Skulkin vehicles by Samukai. But Samukai in the flashback we see has already been deposed as leader of the Skulkin/Underworld. Which means the orders to do so most likely came from Garmadon.

And since Mr. E is one of the head honchos, he's likely an early arrival to the team, so I don't think Harumi has a whole lot figured out at this point, she's just got her Trauma and some Bad Influence Friends and an obsession with Lord Garmadon. So. Like. Plausible deniability road trip that she's just visiting important markers of Ninjago's recent past, all of which involve Lord Garmadon in some meaningful way; its sightseeing, its cathartic, and it gives her time to develop her dream Motorcycle Gang/Resurrection Cult. She's not looking for anyone at the Lighthouse, but she is looking for vehicle blueprints so she can be the Koolest leader on the block. But oops she looks in the basement and there's an Echo.

And she's flipping out bc??? A Ninja???? In the Lighthouse basement??? I mean it makes sense that it would be this one but???

Except this rusty old robot has no idea what she's talking about with this Ninja stuff, he's just waiting for his dad to come back.

And Harumi pauses.

Because how long has he been waiting? He's not sure, he had no proper way to measure time in the basement, and he doesn't have the best view of his clockwork heartpiece. But it was after his father saw a strange ship docking; Echo was worried it was the People who had locked up his father in the first place, but instead his dad sounded happy when he saw whoever was out there. It could have been a front, though, as clearly it was never safe to let Echo back out. Then Dr J popped down briefly, while everyone above was resting, to tell Echo he was desperately needed elsewhere, that it wasn't safe to bring Echo, but that he'd be back in no time.

And the pieces are fitting together for Harumi. And she's like. Your dad's dead, bro.

And he's like. What? Did he die doing what was needed of him?

And she's like. Oh, no. He died a few years later.

And he's like. Why didn't he come back for me????

And she's like. Probably because they kept him away.

And he's like. Who's they?

And she's like. The Ninja I was talking about earlier.

And it surely can't be hard in universe to find pictures of Zane and Dr J post s2-pre s3, so she pulls one up and shows Echo who is freaking out bc why is that one kind of like him and Harumi explains that that was the droid his father created first, that he became a Ninja, and that hes probably the one who took their father away and kept echo waiting for years.

But Echo has doubts, shocked as he is abt a new older brother, he wants to believe the good in the situation so he's unsure. But Harumi mentions that the Ninja's failures to uphold more than their self preservation/interests has led to uncountable losses and devastation in Ninjago time and time again, before delving into her own story. And she seems so kind, and so hurt, and I do think there's a genuine connection btwn these two that forms from this shared emotional torment that they decide came from the Ninja, and now Echo is more receptive.

And then Harumi gets to start her Garmadon pitch because wait! If Echo was made here, then that could only have happened because of Lord Garmadon. And she reiterates that he's the reason she and her city could have even survived The Great Devourer. And maybe Echo's family-by-creation left, maybe they were untrustworthy and lacking, but that's OK bc if you look at it all a certain way, Garmadon is more of a father to Echo than Dr J was. And Echo is a vulnerable, overwhelmed mess who just found out his dad fucked off for years without him and also died, and also he has a brother??? Who their dad clearly seems to have favored??? Did they even know about Echo??? Did they delight in their life free of him???

Basically. Kinda Spinel-core but getting abandoned and left completely alone does that to you. Especially when the first person to find you after being abandoned is a deeply hurt and misguided teen who is probably kinda desperate for someone, anyone else to see the Ninja the way she sees them.

just a reminder to the people that there's no way haymitch wasn't majorly affected by the injury he sustained in the arena at the hand of the d1 girlies’ axe. i did mention before that it hinders with his eating habits as obviously. abdominal and digestive trauma but i'd like to assume that he did have a stoma bag when recovering from said injury. shrug shrug. intestines = major major digestive organ. the capitol probably didn't have the same high tech as they did come the 74th, and so the healing was possibly way more grueling/longer. all this to say yes i believe he has a large scar from the initial injury. yes i also believe that he's got a stoma scar in the hypothetical idea of him needing one in the first place.

↑ girl who is not a medical professional nor has had a stoma bag before. i'm just considering the fact that he definitely had to deal with a lot of rebounds and this could be one of the resulting factors! i'm literally a teen who likes to look up medical conditions/treatments as part of my special interest. this might not be totally spot on but i wanted to apply my small parts of knowledge.

[polarchariot]

Hii! Just a bit curious, are you still working on that Stardew mod you posted about, I think back in October maybe? The hermit/lifer/myct one (? The post had Scar in it I think but I wasn’t sure sorry)? It’s just been playing on my mind, no pressure to answer!

a h

my last life wizard scar mod....

no it's not abandoned, it's still in the works, just really slow progress as i chip away at it because it's something entirely new from what i usually make so i need to learn as i go

also modding is such an unpaid thankless job so i dont wanna burn myself out from working on it 😭 making that one swaggon sve patch already made me insane

the only things left for the wizard scar mod is just the portrait, the sprites, the heart event cutscenes AND THATS ESSENTIALLY IT... i just need to do the pixel art and figure out how to do the heart events and it'd be done

sorry i dont have anything new to share about it </3 it's just a bunch of dialogues so far, but i do wanna complete it, i won't abandon it

[enhanced-operatives-division]

i don't think you've made a solaris design yet.... but am i allowed to request solaris anyways. or will i get beaten with two billion hammers until i die. for this.

No hammers for you, these asks hold me accountable to actually design the characters...

Filled a double page spread with just her...thus the 'Oops! All Solaris'

On THAT note, +2 sketchbook pages filled, 6/30 completed. I have 2 weeks until my hand in so I gotta pick up the pace. Blimey.

[nyan-bynary]

My controversial jjk take is that mahito should've remained the main threat/antagonist throughout the whole thing
