#reflection acting diffrent

[madamegixxysticks]

Somebody said that mysterious phone call piece I made gave them horror RPG vibes so... I guess I made another that could give such vibes...? (I'm looking at you, @zero06iranosaurusrex)

Imagine slowly becoming nonhuman. Something ancient and alien is infecting you, slowly replacing your tissue. You've been told that there are some treatments to keep more of your humanity for longer, but you'll lose it eventually nomatter what.

Every day you feel it slowly spreading throughout you. Slowly taking bits and pieces of you and replacing them with this alien biomechanical body. At first people act like you're going to die, but you realize you're not going to die. Mabye it would be easier if you did.

You lose things internally at first. Your mind starts working slightly differently. Then you eat for the last time. Sleep for the last time. Make love for the last time. You slowly lose these parts of you. There's a point in time when you can't pass for human without wearing clothing on most of your body, and then eventually you can only pass at night, and then not at all.

Your freinds started out supportive but mournful. But some of them tended to get more and more uncomfortable around you as you kept getting less and less human. Some stayed with you of course, but some seem more distant now, and others seem to not want to interact at all.

The more you become comfortable in your new body, and deal with it better, the more other people seem to be mourning you as if you were dead. Your family doesn't even want to talk to you anymore. It feels like everyone acts like it would have been far more convenient if the transformation killed you. If they could mourn you in peace.

Your new body feels so strange. You're mostly covered in a metalic shell now, with little bits of flesh between the gaps. Your build is slender and sexless now, your legs have three sets of joints like a predatory animal, your face looks like a strange reflection of a gas mask. The only thing that remains of your old body is long black hair flowing from your head. For whatever reason you don't mind the change. You think so differently now then you used to, you feel like a diffrent person, but it's hard to think of it as bad, it's who you are, and you can't bring yourself to hate you.

Eventually you run into someone who was your girlfriend back when you were human. You realize it's been awhile since you've talked to her. You have new freinds now, people who are like you or who are used to people like you. You realize she could never be your girlfriend again, but she could still be your freind. You talk to her a bit, and she seems to like you this way, she hugs you, it feels so warm with how cold your new body is, you didn't expect her to want to hug this version of you.

P03 from INSCRYPTION

JUSTIFICATION:

"OK SO. HEAR ME OUT. (Major spoilers for Inscryption, esp. Act 3) Basically Po3 is a scrybe of cards that hijacks the videogame world he's in, becomes it's gamemaster and replaces the original scrybes with his uberbots (basically just his barebones ocs that kinda reflect the scrybes personalities, but its mosly just Po3 roleplaying). Curiously though, the uberbot he replaces himself with is named G0lly - a curious, optimistic and somewhat innocent female robot. Po3, despite putting G0lly there, says that she is his least favorite boss, saying 'something about her... innocence. It makes me queasy.'.A diffrent character then states that G0lly is 'such a strange character. Her curiosity is so pure... it's a shame that Po3 burries her so deep'. Anyway i think a bit of robotic gamer estrogen might have helped her in not spreading the nuclear launch codes ❤️

(Not to mention she already has some ribbies (robo-titites))" - @theblankest123

okay fuck it. Aresiba/Rhemi notes I've been thinkin about while trying to draw. under read more bc its big yappin hours:

Despite being the older sister by a couple of years, Siba is shorter than her sister Yahima. and in general has always been the more outgoing/cheerful/The Silly™ of the two

Is very emotionally sensitive/an empath/what have you, and has been before she got the echo. But unfortunately it's always been played as a bit by others/isn't usually taken seriously bc of her fee fees

but that's okay, bc as she got older, she learned to use this as an advantage. now she usually leaves people second guessing her actual prowess and rumors with her personality/way she presents herself. Yeah no dw the blue catgirl can't hurt you I promise. she's just here for the vibes.

Speaking of The Vibes. she has ALWAYS been more dynamis sensetive, and is able to do Rule of Cool wack shit because of it. But due to the NATURE of dynamis, growing up she learned real fast to keep those emotions in check, bc the more intense the feeling for her. the more shit around her warps to reflect that, to a degree.

it's bc of her dynamis sensitivity that she was able to save herself and her sister back in the day, despite being young and untrained in the hunt. this is not an accomplishment that she cheers on bc it was. extremely tragic for her. it's a whole can of worms, sudden dead parents are involved, etc.

Math nerd summoners hate her for being able to do this one cool trick* to summon Shiva for a tragic bi for bi bit *(a cool guitar riff and a dream)

she can probably still use aether-based magics just fine, but it's clear to everyone her shit on bard hit diffrent. our resident Vibe Checker. the Vibe Enrichment.

she also grows into being a VERY GOOD ACTRESS. Siba tends to suppress and hide a lot of things from the scions, to even her closest friends, due to the harsh environment her tribe lives in. and it became a force of habit. So despite giving off the personality of being an open book, she's a surprisingly difficult read.

Although there ARE signs to tell when she's masking or not, and there are people in her life who can tell and who can't. Yahmia and their Grandmother are some of the few who have always been able to read her ticks, even after being gone for so long. Y'shtola, Koana*(to varying degrees), G'raha, Papalymo, Krile(in dt) and Minfilia can clock her from a mile away if paying attention, with varied reactions. Lamaty'i, the Twins, Erenville, Thancred/Urianger, Lyse, Ysale, and the rest of the scions to varying levels tbh can tell the more obvious ones, but still get tricked by the act more often than not. estinien is head empty other than being able to catch a vibe and know when to provide. solidarity. and we love that for him.

Basically how truly perceptive are u willing to be of Catgirl

*Koana is a weird one bc BEFORE they all started leaving tural (he for his studies, her later for her "getting away from my depression only to later rack up more trauma" adventure. aka arr and beyond) he learned to read her well-- as did she for him. Part of the reason why they get along so well is that they feel extremely comfortable around eachother. As fellow perceptive people, even with the opposing personalities, they picked up on another's habits growing up and developed their own weird way of communicating. Ambivert cat to Intorvert cat communication. also the fact that they were both curious book nerds who enjoyed listening to the other yap helped a lot too but ANYWAY. He USED to be able to read her well, but now coming back after 4 years, she's gotten a lot better at the act. Many ticks have changed, while many others have stayed the same, and for a while, it's like learning a new language that has the same base root as your first language. Familiar, yet different. Luckily, green catboy is a fast learner, and by the end of the expansion, they're p much back to where they were before. Y'know, other than. developments. (kissing your childhood best friend and pretending it didn't alter your brain chemistry a little bit. totally being normal about it)

also I HAVE MANY FEELS ABT. ARESIBA BEING A CRYBABY. ESPECIALLY WHEN SHES RHEMI AND BUILDING UP HER REPUTATION AS THE WOL W THIS STAGENAME

bc the rumors and etc never talk about how emotional she gets. How she is. in fact. a crybaby

but will still get the job done even if in tears. she's not weak because she cries. because she allows herself to feel these emotions and work thorigh them.

and Yahima has been saying this since day ONE, bc her sister has had to make a lot of hard decisions for them growing up. all while through tears half the time.

Basically "Yes my sister is emotional. Yes she is a crybaby. She's also the strongest and bravest person I know and I don't want to hear ANY slander on her name"

also it's very funny. bc she's v much the "cheerful/sweet/optimistic character who changes vibe on a dime to be scary/cold/etc.'

it's all fun and games until the Bard is looking at you from beyond her brim with that one eye covered look. it's all fun and games until you get a knife barely grazing you neck. bc she has scary pinpoint aim from learning how to hunt.

and it's always a shock, bc people NEVER EXPECT her to get so humorless and cold when she gets into these moods. They're rare, but dangerous

anyway. she's the "character who smiles the brightest is burdened with the most grief" type beat. purposefully, forcefully, actively Hopeful despite everything

also a theatrical dork who I adore. her theatrics and energy are in EVERYTHING she does as the wol. she cares abt putting on a good performance.

This does seem in line with how Dominion acts, and I would not be suprised if he has the ability to determin what kind of leader you would like. But at the same time he is the Kingmaker. He wants "strong" rulers there is a reason the most powerful leaders have been acknowledged by him. Gods are digfrent from mortals and Dominion seem to be an expert at pulling the right strings. His reflection might be part of his godly powers but, I think it is part of his personality aswell.

I also think that a major reason that Dominion acts so diffrently around Jason over the series is he is just really good at jusging people and giving them advice.. He might be thw first one to realisy exaktly what Jason migh become. And so he treats him acrodingly, he knows when to give what advice.

SPOILERS! In the later parts when Jason blows up, we see how useful his advice is to Jason. I think that part is really good at showcasing the role Dominion thrives in, and there are so meny ways he can choose to go about it.

Husband came bouncing down the stairs, and shouted "I just realized two things! The first is that I am INCREDIBLY dehydrated!" He then proceeded to slam back an entire 16 oz of water from the novelty monster mug he has used exclusively since he first bought it a decade ago, refill it, and repeat the process.

"The second thing, is that Dominion is a MIRROR! He reflects the kind of ruler you would be back at you. When he was talking to the excommunicated healer, he was vicious and cruel. Then, the second he shifted his focus to Gary, he started cracking jokes! He was encouraging, in a gruff kind of way. When he's talked to Jason over the years, he has changed his personality WILDLY, based on how much therapy Jason had gone through at the time and how self-aware he was."

He then told me I could share this idea with Tumblr, because he wants to know what everyone thinks about it.

Johann Uber

General Headcanons:

Was a right bastard in his early youth, like your typicall 90s movie bully who pushes kids into lockers, gives people vegies and flips the bird at his teachers his father -a military man- had to whip him into shape.

Uber's father was a memorable man with many wothwhile acomplishments but Uber remembers him by his scowl, cold and calculating, staring down at him as if he isn't his flesh and blood but something foul, he thinks he sees it reflected on Colonel's face sometimes but he won't confront that.

İt wasn't all bad though sometimes his father would wake up joyfull and take him hiking by the evening ,his mother on the porch her knuckles white around the door handle, Johann would never last long but his father would just laugh, the liness on his face disappering and let his son lay face up staring up at the trees like rivers and veins.

He was much closer with his mother who had a passion for litrature, and plays and everything even remotly close to them, they'd sit by the fireplace for hours filtering through aged paper and laughing, some of his mother's books lay hidden under his bed in the barracks.

He named himself Uber (super, above, powerfull) after the Alps he didn't want to carry his father's name with him and he dosen't know his mother's maiden name.

Has a hard time wearing 'civilian' shoes, read: anything that isn't boots or footie boots, as they give his feet rashes and one of his toes is bent at a slightly wrong angle so it hurts when shoes aren't tailored.

Has nightmares and vividly remembers all of them, he thrashes around in his sleep and often hits people he feels bad for it sometimes but you won't hear an apology from this guy not 'till fat pigs fly.

Colonel offered to get him medication for it but he refused as he can't swallow pills and the sight of them makes him sick.

Shines Maggy's horns when no one's watching.

Plays both defender and striker 'cause he's really flexible as long as t he y win.

Very envious man but hides it well only Thor and Ja Nein know and that's only because Ja Nein is good at reading people and Thor just spends enough time with him to know when he's acting sus, sometimes they'll meet eyes just before one of his tantrums, no words but volumes said.

Has an exteremly fancy handwriting, he learnt it from his mother at a later age though so it gets wobbly and illegible if he isn't carefull.

Loves owls had a owl plushie as a kid.

His fingers tick when he gets tired or mad the guys take gambles on how long it's going to take before he passes the fuck out of freaks the fuck out.

The İron Tank logo was first branded on his hand than the rest was filled in with regular tatoo ink.

Still calls his family and visits but there is this tensness in the air that none of them dare to adress.

Part of a very big and proud family, so big that many of them have completly diffrent names and features, he vaugley remembers a red-headed boy from an Aunt's wedding years and years ago, a distant cousin perhaps.

Wears Beau De Jour by Tom Ford and sprays a bunch on his chest since that's where people face when they talk to him

Messy Liner- A Keigo Takami/Hawks × reader drabble

Warnings: none! Just endless fluff and Hawks being a clingy baby. Poorly edited.

Prespective: second person!

Sypnosis: After noticing that he was too tired to do his eyeliner correctly, you take it upon yourself to help Keigo so he goes to work on time.

Author's note: wrote this and now its 3 AM where I am. I'm going to go catch some ZZZs now. I hope you enjoy <3

Raising your head from your fluffy pillow, your eyes darted over to the door of the bathroom in your room. It was slightly open, making it completely normal to hear the water running. You could hear violent splashing, the sound of intense brushing immediately followed by complete silence. A completely still moment passed. It was eerie, how much time Keigo was spending in the bathroom. He usually takes two to three minutes inside. He was a fast-paced man as he was a pro-hero, so the delay was almost concerning. You were about call out his name, but he lazily appeared from around the corner, head staring right at the ground, hair a wet mess, in only a pair of black briefs and a red shirt, with a white towel around his neck.

His feathers were falling like cherry-blossom petals on a breezy spring day, on the ground with every step he took, making his usually glorious, protective red wings look more timid, dull. You couldn't help but notice that his eyes were closed as he walked towards the bed. Never has he ever looked so exahusted before. When he woke up, he had a habit of speed walking around the house to get things done faster, that would usually wake you up from how heavy his footsteps were, but not today. Today you woke up because how shockingly serene it was.

He sat down on the bed, making the comfortable mattress jump a little. Head facing his bedside table, Hawks opened one of the drawers and took out a black-liner pen and a magnifying mirror. He gently put down the mirror on the counter, adjusting it so he could see his eyes. What was abundantly clear in his reflection, was his drousniess. His head swayed from side to side, unable to stay steady. After trying his best to keep his head from falling to the side, he neared the eyeliner to his faded birthmarks to add the cosmetic, but as he fixed the wing, his -very- shaky hand failed him. "Tsk," The frustrated sound he let slip made you sit up. He was really good at doing his eyeliner, to the point where you ask him to do yours whenever you were going to an important gala together. His hands were always steady, accurate, he always knew what he was doing when it came to using his hands. But the exhaustion and drainage from yesterday's patrol obviously took a toll on him. 'You never know when to take a break..' You told him late at night, when your hand were smoothing his blonde locks, but he was already fast asleep. You observed him as he wiped the smudged wing, and try to do it again, only to fail -and almost poke his eye out. He let out a bothered sigh.

"Keigo.." You tapped his arm, and he looked over at you. His playful, golden, reinstone eyes were only halfway open, his lids heavy, and that cocky gleam in them were no where to be seen. "Give the pen to me," The demand was serious, but your tone was gentle, as not to startle him. You extended your hand, and he looked down at it, seemingly trying to connect the dots like you had just told him a hard riddle. He slowly gave you the eyeliner, then looked back up at you. "Put your head here and look up at me," Adjusting your position so both of you are comfortable and patting your lap, he acted just a bit faster this time, positioning his head upwards as you asked him to. You pushed the wet strands of blonde hair that stuck on his forehead, carefully began to trace the birthmarks with the pen.

The world was queit. Tranquil. The only thing you could hear were the beeping cars and sounds of the city. You didn't remember the last time Keigo was this calm and still. A cocky, intelligent, fast attitude. That's what originally attracted you to him in the first place. He always did everything so damn fast, and it was thrilling. Dating him has never felt boring. But even though you loved how he brought excitment into your life with how quick- paced he was, these rare moments where both of you were undisturbed, realxed in the comfort of your apartment...these were the moments you cherished deeply, that you held so closely to your heart.

You stopped for a minute, to take in the sight infront of you. Keigo looked so..indescribably beautiful, ethereal. His slightly sun-kissed skin gleamed under the single light ray entering the room through the open space between the curtains. His sharp eyes were shut close, letting you do your work without any bother. Crimson wings were spread on the bed, and his strong, lean arms wrapped around your figure. You put your hand in his hair, and he leaned into the touch, his cheeks going a dusty shade of pink. You smiled, and forced yourself to keep working on his eyeliner, even though you wanted this to last a lifetime.

After making sure the wings were symmetrical, you put the eyeliner on your counter, and turned to him, expecting him to finally wake up and throw a cheeky remark at you. Start flirting uncontrollably with you like he always did. Start kissing all over your face and body. But he didn't. Infact, he didn't move an inch off your lap. That whistled deep breathing of his and the way his wings rose and fell made you realise that he had fallen asleep again. You put one of your hands under his chin, and began scratching, in hopes that Keigo's ticklish nature would kick in and wake him up. But to your surprise, he groaned something uncoherable in delight, and angeled his head to get more of your touch.

"Keigo, baby, you need to wake up." You whispered, knowing that his busy work couldn't be delayed. Knowing that he wouldn't be happy if he was late. But for the first time, Keigo refused. "M..don't wanna.." He grumbled, like a child who was being forced to do something they didn't want to be doing. His grip tightened around your waist, and he buried his head in your shirt. An alarm bell rung in your head. You laid down to check if Keigo ruined his eyeliner, that you were barely able to fix and make it look like he did it. Thinking you laid back was an invitation to let him sleep, Keigo pulled your body down and laid his head on your chest. "M..warm.."

You stiffled your giggles, struggling to sit up. "Keigo, you need to go, you know that.."He didn't answer. You were not sure if he had truly fell asleep again or if he was ignoring you. "I'll be right here when you return, waiting for you.." Your fingers knit through his bangs. "But now you need to get up, other people are waiting for you.."

"But I don't want to.." Keigo replied, his eyes meeting with yours. The look in his eyes. It was innocent, desperate, needy for this moment to keep going. Needy for your touch and affection. "I want to..be here..always..with you.." That simple wish of his in his raspy, sleepy voice made your heart skip a beat. You didn't sense any sleep talk, only honesty.

You didn't know what to say. Both of you wanted to stay like this. In each other's arms, basking in each other's warmth as nothing but love filled the air around you. This was Keigo's idea of heaven.

"Mm..babybird.." He breathed in deeply, then let it all out, like he had been holding so much in for too long. "Can..we pretend..that everything is fine for just a few hours..?" The innocence in his request made you lay down. You were surprised that he asked you this, his sense of duty was always something that pushed him to get out of bed, but now it was diffrent. He didn't tell you what happened the day before, but all you knew that he was drained, drained enough not to eat and instead, bring you to bed with him so you could hold him. Drained enough to hold you this tightly, and wish for things that could only be achieved if you lived in another world.

You put your head down on the pillow, eyes closed, hand in Keigo's hair and the other on his bicep, your thumb doing circular movements on the firm muscle.

And as sleep began to cover your senses, you mumbled a few words, a few words that were enough to make Keigo smile in his slumber.

"Yeah...yeah, I guess we can.."

[fox-daddy]

My main Mc's entire internal insecurity is who he is, who he used to be, and what that actually means compared to how he acts nowadays.

It doesn't help he can always see the fool in his reflections, usually in mirrors hanging around the edges peeking into the mirror, above his head floating like a small bird or dragon, or sometimes right behind him like a large guard dog but this Mc knowing their not actually there. But sometimes in a flash of a flask on the shelf or a quick reflection of a tail on the waters edge. However, because it's never truly there, this means none of the Li can see this except Nadia and Asra if the fool gets too intense and they can sense it through this Mc or if it purposely shows itself to them.

Yet even then, they can't see the fools true form (bunch of diffrent animals) just a kind of smudge of different sizes, maybe miscellaneous shapes because the fool isn't truly there its just a part of this Mc's subconscious and technically their being. Which brings up the whole issue of who he is and what parts of him are actually him and which parts are from the fool or even Asra, knowing their both keeping him alive through well skin, blood, and heart. Can he truly trust his heart to know what parts are himself if his heart isn't his to begin with?

Edit: I was actually just listening to rule #18 the lion, which imo describes the fools point of view in what I mentioned above pretty nicely but not perfectly.

I'd like to think that MC would maybe have an identity crisis.. they're questioning who they are and what are they like before

Even looking at themselves through a mirror or by the streams of the river, their reflection looks so familiar yet so not. Having broken a mirror once by just looking at their reflection for too long.

What do you guys think?

2020

Week 3 Reflections

During the craziness that was 2020 I was at home in Akron. Then when the 'toilet paper' frenzy happened I remember having to go to either two or three diffrent stores to just get one pack. This in itself was a somewhat losing battle because I live in a house with 5 other people with a 4 to 1 female to male ratio. So toliet paper goes quickly in our house, and this is not to say that we went crazy and try to hoard it like some did but just trying to get 2 packs of 6 rolls was a struggle. Not only that but when we would order it because we wanted to avoid being out the shipment could take up to a month to arrive with 1 pack of 12 rolls (and this isn't even talking the price gouging).

When I saw everything on the news and the BLM protests I was overwhelmed. Escpecially as an African American me and my siblings have grown up having talks with our parents about what to do and how to act when we're approached by the police. As well as the fact that people might judge us just because of the color of our skin. Then with the protests, although I was unable to participate due to Covid and me being high risk I grew overwhelmingly worried about my friends who I knew were participating and the ones who weren't I even dug through my contacts to check on a old highschool friend who I hadnt talked to in years to make sure that he was ok. Because even though it was a peaceful protest it was met with police brutatily. Due to all of this happening I now can't help but notice the connection from, I Am Not Your Negro by James Baldwin and the protests in 2020. They both have one common factor and that was people were just having peacefule protests for their right to life and as it was during the time of Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks these peaceful protests ended with violence and people going to jail for just kneeling peacefully.

I feel as though activism/social change has always been necessary but it is just in recent that I feel as though some people have become more bold about their prejudices. As well as the fact that there is no hiding the what is happening to people due to discrimination becuase it's now on social media and t.v. people can't sweep it under the rug anymore. Now in the past the social change that I would try to help with was working with the homeless. Such as making things to help them stay warm and getting other people involved to help. I did this because I understood that anyone could be in their position it could be one check away for anyone. I also knew that it is hard to get back up on you feet because of the system . For example, to get a job you need to have a home address but if you recently lost your home half of the time a job won't hire you because their situation is unstable. And due to all that is happening now I want to be able to help again and learn more.

Adrigami!Felix au: Chat Noir origins

That was definetly one of the worst days in Felix life.

First of all, it was his first day in new school. For last couple of weeks he actually begged his parents to let him study at home. He hated crowds. Just the thought of spending half a day with a bunch of teenagers terrified him.

But in his father’s opinion it was a great opportunity to socialize and find friends. Even his mother agreeded saying that he should at least try! And he always thought she was at his side…

So he went to school, with firm resolution that he’ll avoid any unnecessary contact with classmates. Luckily, with most of them he didn’t even have to talk.

But then, there was Bridgette.

Actually, she wouldn’t be that bad; warm and joyful, clever when it come to answering teacher’s questions, she could be someone Felix could enjoy knowing. From distance.

Without that distance… She made his day worse. He couldn’t even blame her, it was just what she was like, trying to get to know everyone better and not giving up that easly.

He just really didn’t want to be known better.

Then there was all that mess with akuma or whatever it was called, when lady disguised as a fox appeared randomly in school, fighting with ladybug and cat themed heroes.

Of course, Felix heard tales about magical superheroes in animal costumes, but that was long time ago - before he was even born. So their reappearence was unexpected. And even more unexpected was fox lady, using him as protection from heroes attacks.

Felix shivered. He still could feel her claws on his shoulders and hear her voice, threatening to hurt him. And she actually could do it, if Bridgette wouldn’t accack her from behind with her bag. It didn’t do any real damage but was enough to distract her so he could escape. Luckily for them, akuma fleed from school and the battle was taken to a diffrent part of Paris. Eventually - from what he heard - villain was defeated by ladybug hero.

Now, sitting in his room, finally alone, Felix wished that he could never leave.

He reached to his pocket and took out silver ring he found today on his way home. Ring was plain and simple, without any marks that could help find an owner. It was strangely warm and had something in it that attracted Felix, who usually wasn’t very fond of any jewellery. It even seemed to be the right size for him.

Not actually thinking about it, he put the ring on finger.

Suddenly, there was flash of green light as little black creature appeared in front of Felix.

“Well, finally! Thought you’ll never decide.” the creature said. “No need to be so rude.” added, when boy recoiled in shock.

“What the hell?!” Felix almost screamed from the floor.

“Rude.” repeated black thing. “You are talking with a god of destruction, show some respect, Felix.”

“You know me?” noticed boy. Creature raised their little paw to lips, like it said too much. “God of destruction? What does it even mean?”

To be honest, Felix wasn’t even that suprised. Maybe another day he would. But today’s near-death experience was already to much for him to handle.

Still, he decided to stay on the floor. Just in case.

“I’m kwami. We are magical creatures connected with Miraculous, jewellery that can give you the power to be a hero. Mine is Black Cat power, of destruction. The name’s Plagg. Got any cheese?”

Felix looked at the thing claiming to be a kwami, trying to process what he just heard.

“Black Cat?” he asked after a while.

“Yup. You are going to be the next one. Excitig, isn’t it?”

“But there already is Chat Noir.” noticed Felix.

“Well…” Plagg hesitated. “There is not, actually. He screwed up a little and lost his Miraculous. So, now it’s your time to shine!”

“Nope.” said boy suprisingly calm.

“Nope?”

“No! I don’t want to be a hero. Nobody asked me!” he finally got up from the floor and approached kwami. “I just want to be left alone! Take this and give back to Chat Noir, i don’t want any of it.” he reached to the ring and tried to remove it.

But he couldn’t.

“Why can’t i take it off?” Felix gave Plagg an angry look. “What did you do?”

“What do you mean, you can’t take it of?!” kwami looked closer at the ring. “So it’s that badly damaged?”

“Damaged?!”

Creature didn’t answer, busy with examining Miraculous. Boy took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself a little and catched kwami.

“Now, start talking with some sense.” he ordered, looking Plagg in the eye. “What do you mean - damaged?”

“Well, a lot happened today… Lets just say, previous Cat wasn’t careful enough. Akuma was able to reflect his Cataclysm and it hit the ring. Just to let you know, it was not pleasant experience.” he grimaced. “When that happened, the ring fell of his finger. There was a lot going on and i don’t think anyone noticed so his identity should be safe at least…”

“I don’t care about his identity, really.” sighed Felix.

“Maybe you should.”

“What?”

“Nothing. So, you found the ring and since you can’t remove it, you are Black Cat for now. Congratulations!”

“Or i can ignore the fact of owning the ring and live my life peacefully.” Felix shrugged his shoulders.

“But then broken Miraculous will affect you.” Plagg managed to break free from boy’s grab and sit on his shoulder. “You are skinny and uncomfortable.” he complained.

“Affect how?”

“Not sure yet. Every Miraculous acts diffrently and mine wasn’t actually ever damaged. It can drain your energy or can activate itself randomly or can give you a lot of bad luck…”

“Okay, okay.” Felix sighed. “So what do i do to get rid of you?”

“Rude.” Plagg moved from his shoulder to head and ruffled his hair a bit. “That could do.” he commented, panning himself out.

“Get off.” boy took the kwami and placed him on the desk.

“Anyway, you’ll probably need Ladybug’s help. Her Miraculous of creation complement yours.” magic creature immediately looked around for more comfortable places to sit.

“So she just needs to do her magic and i’ll be free?”

“It’s not that easy. She already used her Miraculous Ladybug after battle and you’re still stuck with me.”

“So what then?”

“I dunno. Maybe kiss?” Plagg flied to the bed and layed on pillow. He purred happily. “Comfy!”

“What did you just say?”

“A kiss. You know, an act of love from personification of good luck? It could work.”

Felix sat on the chair, overwhelmed.

Getting a kiss from Ladybug?

That’s all he had to do?

It would seem to be easy for any other human. Just explain the situation and ask for help. But not for Felix.

He would have to talk with some random woman - first problem. About the situation he stupidly put himself in (because what normal human being decides to put on some weird ring they just found on the ground). And ask for extremely personal contact. And he was against any personal contact. She might be too, right. And refuse to help because of that. Or not even believe him. After all, it wasn’t any fairy tale, in real life kiss wasn’t supposed to solve any problems.

Also, Plagg said “act of love”. Did that mean she actually had to have… feelings for him?

“You’re not sure about all that?” asked finally Felix.

“What?” Plagg yawned. “Did i sound like i wasn’t sure? Because i am. Act of love. Always works. And Ladybug is supposed to be your soulmate, if choosen properly. So. Definetly will work. Now let me sleep. It was long day.”

Second later he was already asleep, curled up on Felix’s pillow.

“Great.” sighed again boy. “Why did i pick up that ring? Literally anyone else would make a better hero than me. Bridgette would probably love to be in my place. She didn’t even need costume to save me today. She would be great Black Cat.” he groaned angrily. “That’ll be nightmare. Also for Ladybug.” he actually felt sorry for her. She deserved better partner.

But it seemed that she was stucked with him for a while.

~~~

So, since Miraculous look diffrent when being worn by other owners, i figured out that kwamis can choose look of their jewellery based on what would attract their choosen ones. Otherwise Felix wouldn’t just pick up the ring and put it on his finger like some dumbass lol

Plagg definetly is not sure but knows that normal healing would be dangerous for Felix and thinks his theory is possible

Also, he obviously knows Felix since they lived in the same house. He even looked after him when he was baby

The akuma mentioned in this fic - actually, the very first akuma that Hawk Moth made - isn’t Lila actually, Hawky just tries to mess with heroes and made them think that she is Butterfly villain (she is not but o didn’t decided yet who is. Not sure if it’s even important)

Research & Experiment

Mood board I made

Earlier in the day my teemmates created a first attempt mood board however after being adviced to take a diffrent approach i took it upon myslef to create a second mood board in the way our tutors advised us too with the little amount of materials i could find.

It was difficult to get the mood board to be exactly how i wanted as i had a very limited supply of materials to choose from due to the fact we had last dibs on the materials after disposing of the groups original attempt. Despite this im very proud of my mood board and think it reflects the aims and aesthetic of out character and her story well.

Mood board Version 1 -

(Above) My version of our moodboard and the final choice

Mood board Version 2, Revisited-

(Above) Edited second version moodboard

Unfortunately i took this photo after someone had medaled with the original composition i had layed out, originally i presented it with the pieces of material coming off the wall overlaying the moodboard making the composition come off the paper but someone moved it. Despite this i still think you can imagine and the photo gives off pretty much the aesthetic i meant it to.

I had wanted to print out a photo of Ethel in the size A4 or A3 however at this time i only have availability to the size you see above. Despite this again i think you can see what kind of idea i was going for, keeping continuity with the storyline ‘the girl without a face’, acting as a metaphorical face her life and aesthetics moodboard.

Mood board Version 3, Silhouette -

Here i had wanted to print of an A4 or A3 photo of Ethel, cut around her face and body, similarly to the example above, and have the window in her lack of face as an insight into her life and life’s aesthetic. I thought it should fit very well into our storyline ‘the girl without a face’ as she would both physically not have a face and it would secondly show a metaphorical version of her ‘face’ through her life and aesthetics.

A random rant on gender I guess

I like myself but having boobs is weird. It’s not a big deal and it doesn’t bother me too much but whenever I see my reflection I just always end up thinking “why.” Why do I have them? Boobs are just so weird. They look odd on me. 

I’m not trans or anything but I also don’t really care about gender when it comes to myself. I don’t get why society focuses on it so much. To me I’m simply me. I have a biological sex but that shouldn’t matter unless I’m having an appointment with the doctor.  The world is weird. People often see other people but what they see are their bodies, we treat people diffrently based on what their bodies are like, consider diffrent things to be acceptable. We have diffrent expectations and “roles” for those with certain traits to fill in. 

Through out the years I have changed a lot, I have lived in many diffrent places and met a lot of people. I can tell you that people will treat you very diffrently, not based on who you are but the traits they assign to you. You can control the way people preceive you with how you dress and act, your posture and apperance although that is limited. There are certain things you can’t do anything about and people will judge you for them, an example of this would be race or sexuality. 

Some people will not consider who we are as the labels they have attached to us are all that matter to them. In that way they do not see who we trully are. They close their minds and treat us based on what they preceive us to. 

I am biologically female, people, typically men see me as a sexual object. What I wear doesn’t matter as either way I have a body that is sexualized. I am expected to do certain things that aren’t expected of males because I’m female. this also goes the other way, males are expected to perform certain tasks and to act in a certain way because of their biological sex. 

I won’t shame someone from breaking the norm and if you’re on tumblr I suppose you won’t either but there are people out there who will, people who are so disgusted by seeing those norms being broken even if breaking those norms is harmless. I remember going to church, I was sitting at the back of the car looking out of the window and seeing all the things we passed by. Along the way we passed a small college, the classes were over and the students were all walking home. One of the students could be described as a “man in a dress”, the way that this person presented themselves was that the way they dressed was in a way which people would expect of a “man”, short hair, no make up, sneakers, a backpack and so on except they decided to wear a dress. I can’t tell if they were non binary, trans or just casually breaking gender norms but either way they were doing whatever they wanted. Seeing that placed a smile on my face. While I found that to be great, my mums boyfriend didn’t and he made that very apparent to everyone sitting in that car. I don’t remember what exactly he said but it was along the lines of calling that person “disgusting.” What logic was there behind saying such a thing? That person was just living life, wearing an article of clothing and not doing anything bad. 

This may have went a little of topic but I would just like to make a clarifying point so if anyone ever reads this they won’t get confused. Ok so basically me not liking my boobs isn’t because people sexualize me because of them. I’m not a fan of them in general. Idk what I want but smaller would defenitively be better.

Life through a frame

1) Balance- a) Symmetrical "Slanted Flowers"

The Flowers are slanted to both sides evenly making it symmetrical, as well as the paintings above the flower are also symmetrical. The petals next to the flowers can be as well. They are matching colors as well.

2) Balance b) Asymmetrical "Buddha position"

The cat in the middle gives it a symetrical feel, but when looked at closely at each side you can see how in one theres a candle and the other an owl ornament.

3) Repetition "Parking Spot"

This is repetition because the same thing is repeated, which are the cars but they are diffrent brands. The color of the ccars is repated aswell.

4) Variety "Anime Inspo"

This type of picture is all about variety, in the drawings that i painted there is variety but at the end of the day it is all about anime.

5)Rhythm "Bedroom Pattern"

In my bed, although it is still you can kidna sense the rhythm. That is what caught my attention. I also saw a pattern of squares.

6)Harmony "japanese garden Tapestry"

When i think about harmony i think about peace and relaxation. In my bedroom i have a japanese themed tapestry with cherry blossoms that brings me harmony.

7)Scale "Kitchen owl"

scale is the ratio of the distance between two points, so I noticed that the human in the back which happens to my mother, and the size difference between the salt shaker is a lot.

8) Proportion "uneven"

In this picture i am showing proportion by showinng the same size vases one in the back and the other in front.

9)Emphasis "Banana Shadow"

I emphasized the banana by putting it in a bowl full of peaches. when I1aS look at this frame my focus goes to the banana at first glance.

10)Compositional Unity "staple Star"

I made the staples into a star shape, it can be a flower as well.

Reflection :

Thinking and acting like an artist was an amazing experience. I'm normally used to paint and drawing but I have never been in the shoes of a photographer. So it was interesting to see things from their perspective. I think my entries fit well with the principle. I had alot of fun doing this, and being a photographer for a few hours.

Reflective journey- filming

This Weekend me and my 2 actors started filming the music video-clairvoyant.

We started filming late in Saturday filming most night scenes, we filmed for about 4 hours which covered 3 diffrent locations. These scenes I feel were most effective in terms of acting, framing and lighting and I found that my camera works really well in low light with a 50mm lens.

The next day, (Sunday), we started filming early getting both morning scenes out of the way and the park scenes, along the way we had extra ideas which I think benifited my video.

Getting every shot I needed was very challenging as I needes a total of #42 shots to be a lined with my shot plan, though I definitely got less than that, I still believe though that my video is still as effective and alot of missed shots I can make up for in editing.

While filming I switched between and 18-55mm lens and a 50mm lens, although my 18-55mm gave me more of a wide angle and room to frame easier, the quality from my 50mm lens was by far better, because of this I ended up changing some of my framing in some scenes, especially low light, to fit my 50mm framing.

All together I think filming went better than expected and I now only have one more day of filming (Tuesday) in which I will re-film my first scene and last scenes.

Introduction to Film Language

FIlm language attempts to communicate  an idea to the audiance through the story, narrative, atmosphere, ect. 

Film Language: 

-  Diffrent camera shots and angles can convey diffrent information.

- Nothing is real, everything is made up for the audianced.

- As animators the controle is all ours!

- Film is relatively young in comparison but trends and ‘rules’ have already been set that the audiance understand. 

  ☆ Semiotics Refresher  ☆ The study of signs and meanings/Symbolism.

Story: What story/narrative are is trying to be told?

Three Act Structure: 

 Act1: Set up - Everything is set and reasy for the film.

Act2: Confrontation - Oh no!

Act3: Resolution - Save the day. 

^ A very western way of setting up a film. Films like Plup Fiction are not so  linear but make sense once you’ve watched all the chapters and The Day After is a film about nuclar war that ends withoout a resolution to make a point to the auiance. How do these individual structures effect the audiance watching?

Character Arc: How the characters change over the course of the film. 

☆ Narrative Theory  ☆ The study of why people tell stories. (https://projectnarrative.osu.edu/about/what-is-narrative-theory)

Genre: The brife grouping of films the expresses a theme. It also manages expectations, helps to develop traits and trops. Specific genres repete motifs and how the camera/ angles are used, like shakey came is offten used in horror films.

Cinematography: How the camera is angled, moved, compostioned, ect. 

- Wide shot: A wider shot that informs the audiance of the scene/ enviorment, ect.  (https://filmglossary.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/term/wide-angle-shot/)

- Close up: This is usually of a characteror something of importance within the scene. (https://filmglossary.ccnmtl.columbia.edu/term/close-up/)

- Extream close up: This is usually to show some detail of importance or to create a feeling related to closeness/ being too close.  

- Camera movement: How the camera is moved in scenes and shots, this can give the audiance infromation, or it can hide information later suprising the audiance/ give a scene a deeper meaning. (https://www.slideshare.net/ianmorenomelgar/camera-movements-in-cinema-and-film-studies-film-language-guide)

- Shot compasition: How things are aranged in a frame, shot, scene, ect. (https://learnaboutfilm.com/film-language/picture/frame-it-right/)

- Framing within a frame: Using an item to fram something within the film camera fram; eg. Rear Window, 58 secs. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5It0nmoYE4) (http://www.filmsite.org/filmterms10.html)

Lighting & Colour Grading

- Creates a mood and atmosphear.

- lighting on full face vs. shadwed faces will also inform the audiance diffrently. 

- Colour grading after a film is in editing stages to highlight certain colours/objects. 

Performance

- Is the acting duff? Belivable? Overacted? And how does this effect the audiance? 

- How does this feel in animation that is realistic/ exsagerated? 

Mise-en-scéne  ☆ Put in the scene  ☆

The visual aspect of a scene that’s used tp create a consistant world. This includes things like: 

- Location          - Costume         -Set dressing          -Character design  

- Props               - Make Up  

Editing 

Cutting up shots that maintains flow with clear communication. Speeds of editing can also create diffrent feelings. 

- Cross cut: Back and forth between two scenes. 

- Dissolve: Blending shots that can show the passing of time, memories, ect. 

- Fade: Fade to black. Can act as a full stop, end the of something, ect.   

Sound and Score These can blend into one another as well. Eg, Guardians of the Galaxy mixtapes. 

Diegetic Sound: Sounds that come from the world of the film. Eg; people talking, tv sounds,trafic, ect. 

Non diegetic sound: Sounds that are added to create an effect or atmospher. Eg; sound tracks and scores, jump scare sounds. ect. 

Score: These can be emotional and will often fit the emotional tone of the scene. It can also be used in the opposite way to direct attention to an attion or scene where the song doesn’t fit the tone of the score, Eg. Comedy movies. 

Tropes and conventions

Tropes: The more time a trope is used the more they sit in the genre and the more they are used becuse audiance understands that they have a solid menaing and eventually it becoms a trope. 

Belivability: When the audiance suspends belief for the sake of the movie.

Conventions: They establised norms/ what is the ‘accepted way of doing things’. This can be non repersentive and doesn’t always reflect reality. Eg. How women are over sexualized, How transexual actors don’t play transexual characters. Ect.
