The Woman Named S.P.Y.

@flashfictionfridayofficial

One name isn't enough for the world's undercover personnel. Only results are her priority. The rewards, the travel, the danger. All of it necessary for a secret agent. With a penchant for impersonation and stealth, this modern shapeshifter can blend in and out of any situation, but she doesn't mind getting her hands dirty if that fails.

To her peacekeeper organization, she is Susanna, a dedicated defender of the known world of espionage and information gathering. Aided by her trusted inventor and key gadgeteer, she has the skills needed to slip in and out of perilous situations with ease.

To her megalomaniacal nemesis, she is Pandora, the agent of chaos who foils every scheme with a smirk and one line. Dangerous with explosives, hacking, lock picking, climbing, martial arts, and firearms, she is an army few can hope to defeat.

To her on and off flame, she is Yvette, a confident adventurer who desires passion yet remains unrooted due to her globetrotting escapades and thrills.

She is all of these women with a secret core as shrouded as her activities. No matter what you call her, she will always be on your mind and in your heart as she continues her next mission. For she is...

The woman named S.P.Y!

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.

IM GONNA FUCKING CRY OF LAUGHTER

CHANGELA TAKES OVER YET ANOTHER SHOW

[tangledstarlight]

do i think jatp is ever gonna come back? no.

do i think, objectively, that it would be hilarious if it did come back with a 5 year time jump in which the band are incredibly famous and successful and alive and willie is alive too and they’ve just left caleb stuck in nicks body for 5 years because ‘he got himself in there surely he can get himself out’? yes. yes i do.

thinking of writing a fic where for whatever reason bruce has to pretend to be Red Hood for a patrol. He’s got all the gear, Jason’s using the crowbars at the moment, they’re roughly the same size, Dick does this for Bruce all the time, shouldn’t be an issue.

It absolutely is an issue.

There might be a loop somewhere in time where Joey wasn't as sneaky about building living cartoons so people were just disappointed instead of shocked.

While I'm glad my classes are giving me more fun ideas for fucked up science in a world created by a man who doesn't know fuck all about science. Can my classes please give me the time to write said ideas please begging on my hands and knees I want to write Shen Yuan yelling at Airplane about his bad science.

Like please I just want

Sy: why the fuck did the nectar turn pink

Airplane: oh the dirt's acidic.

Sy: what

Airplane: yeah, that flower is used as an indicator of poisons, it turns pink when in the presence of acids... Word of warning, most poisons in this world are acidic.

Sy: WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU NEED ACIDIC POISONS DO YOU NOT KNOW WHAT POISON IS

Airplane: BRO BRO I NEEDED A WAY TO INDICATE THERE WAS POISON! THE NECTAR HAS PHENOLPHTHALEIN

Sy: ... YOU HACK THAT'S NOT EVEN HOW PHENOLPHTHALEIN WORKS?!

Significantly later

Sy: why does my soup smell like mac n cheese cooking

Airplane: you remember what I said about poisons being mostly acidic?

Sy: .......... I'm going to go kill a coward, and then you're next

So I've been thinking.

Icarus and Arachne clearly have some situationships going on (Arachne's is triggered when Mel gives her ambrosia and it looks to be mutual unless something else changes). They are both shades LIs (2)

Eris and Nemesis both clearly also have situationships with Melinoe. They are both female god LIs and daughters of Nyx (2).

Moros is highly implied (like the foreshadowing is very thick) to be a potential LI for Melinoe. He is a male god and son of Nyx (1). If we look at the pattern going on so far, we're missing one male god love interest. Who could that be?

Now, it's entirely possible that it's a god not yet included in Early Access and has to be patched in with development. But also. Melinoe has had a parasocial relationship with Hypnos going on since forever. She gives him great reverence/interest with him. She clearly is into babygirl" men. It would be wild, and I say wild, if the final male LI established is Hypnos. Once you wake him that is.

friends i think i know the best way to adapt gideon the ninth to a visual medium:

Lego: Gideon The Ninth; The Video Game: for the Sony Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii

there's such an incredible circular reasoning people use when talking about the 'three-actor rule' in greek tragedy. using the staging and casting as evidence for the rules of the tragic competition and the ruled of the tragic competition as evidence for the staging and casting. like, the limit of three actors was a fixed part of the contest and extras could not have any lines, and therefore the servant in the libation bearers does a quick change into pylades, proving that the limit of three actors was a fixed part of the contest and extras could not have any lines. OR, the convention of three actors was actually somewhat flexible and extras could occasionally have a few lines, and therefore the servant in the libation bearers and pylades are played by two different actors and the whole play has three full speaking actors plus one bit speaking actor, proving that the convention of three actors was actually somewhat flexible and extras could occasionally have a few lines.

I was just rewatching camp cretaceous and thinking about the writing and storyboarding process for a show that does silent/physical comedy so well and then I discovered your tumblr! amazing work!

Aw thank you so much!! We were a script driven show so some of it was thanks to our writers coming up with funny material to work with, and then a lot of the physical/visual comedy in Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory was thanks to the direction of one of our showrunners, Aaron Hammersley-- he comes from a storyboarding and directing background himself, and he often did passes on the animatics to punch up the acting and comedy even more. I got to work directly with him when I started out as a revisionist on Camp Cretaceous, and I tried to learn from and emulate his comedic sensibilities (in addition to learning from and emulating all my other incredibly talented coworkers haha).

You can particularly tell whenever Aaron touched a scene though-- like, you can almost see his drawings and recognize his timing even when it's translated to 3D. The shot of Ben falling over and screaming for sliiightly too long from the clip that was released today is one of his revisions that wasn't originally scripted, for example. I think probably the BEST example of his is the scene from Camp Cretaceous when Ben is staring at Bumpy and slowly shaking his head with those haunted eyes as she plops down in his sleeping spot-- that was pretty much exactly how Aaron drew it and timed it haha.

A lot of it comes down to thinking about the character's personality and what they'd do, picking strong expressions, limiting the movement of everything around that expression, and being allowed to let the timing breathe. It's really interesting-- a scene from a script can be made into something completely different depending on who's boarding it/who's directing it/how the interpretation of the script is approached.

Even though we were on script driven shows, part of the process of being a storyboard artist was working with our episodic directors to translate the script visually before it was animated, and troubleshooting any problems that arose while visually translating it. If we were able to pitch ideas that supported what was written in the script but took things further/we came up with good solutions to problems that also elevated the storytelling, we were given a lot of support from leadership in return-- particularly on Chaos Theory!
