Seeing all the posts about ideas for an animated adaptation got me thinking about this again...
TUC is such a dark series that even when I first read it as a 12-year-old in 2010 and daydreamed about my perfect animated TUC movie I would imagine it being at least FSK 16 (sort of the German equivalent to R or NC-17). Many things you can put into books for kids without issue are going to be “too much” when visualized on screen—and I don't think TUC would gain anything from being sanitized (beyond making some injuries and deaths less graphic/gross).
So, while I wouldn't mind bright colors, artistic experiments, or out-there character designs, I always thought TUC would be best served with a style that features more realistic proportions and details than you see in many of the currently popular western animated shows.
Whenever I imagined an animated series or movie, I thought of something that looked something like these:
The Boondocks (2005–2014) dir. Seung Eun Kim (created by Aaron McGruder)
Voltron: Legendary Defender (2016–2018) dir. Eugene Lee
Ping Pong the Animation (2014) dir. Masaaki Yuasa
Night Is Short, Walk on Girl (2017) dir. Masaaki Yuasa
Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005–2008)
created by Michael Dante DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko
Ergo Proxy (2006) dir. Shûkô Murase
The Lord of the Rings (1978) dir. Ralph Bakshi
Watership Down (1978) dir. Martin Rosen
Some of these are more gritty and some more experimental but I think together they make an okay moodboard of sorts for my preferred art style for an animated TUC adaptation.

Listen I know the arrow fandom is basically dead but also I keep seeing people who are left ship William, a gay male character, with Zoe. Please, please, PLEASE do not do this. It’s so harmful.
I know his sexuality was not confirmed at first beyond him having an ex-boyfriend, but since his intro he’s said in the show at least twice that he identifies as gay. That really should have been enough to get you to stop.
To put it into perspective, this is the equivalent of shipping Nyssa/Oliver, and I remember how intensely most of this fandom was (rightfully) outraged if people ever tried to do that... and at the show itself for the season 3 forced marriage fiasco because, you know, she’s canonically a lesbian. Please tell me the concept was actually grasped and it wasn’t just that Olicity fans were worried about the ship being messed with. I know we’re better than that. Right?
(And pre-emptively: no, this not the same thing as writing a straight character in a same-sex pairing. You can move characters away from the white, cishet norm; you don’t take characters out of roles that grant marginalized groups representation.)

TRACKING DOWN brad majors has been a feat just short of incredible. with transylvanian safe houses ransacked & otherwise abandoned, the doctor –– alone & left for dead –– had resources few & far between. one such asset was none other than mr. majors : a puppet, with strings that, hopefully, were still in tact. & none other than brad, scandalously clad with a delicious sway to his hips, is spied within the far reaches of the lounge, upon a platform of his own. CLICKING : an approaching sound of menace –– underwhelming, compared to loud volumes of unfamiliar melodies & stringing conversations. lights from every end of the spectrum dance on bared alien skin, tantalizing in its own regard. with a catlike grace & an grin just short of cheshire, he awaits the taller man’s gaze. silken tones break away from the laugh rumbling in an ivory throat in an effort to carry his voice over the noise of the crowd. ❛ my, my, ❜ he tuts, smirk growing. ❛ what a pleasant surprise. ❜ // * @sodominant .

Please. For the love of god. Stop with the bro/man thing. It's like you're trying to prove your masculinity and it's extremely annoying. Just be you, love ❤️
lmao i hate to break it to you.. this is how i am literally and how i speak irl especially with friends lol like this has been me ever since. so whatever perception you built about me when i had madison/chanel/emma roberts as my icons was like a brand name or false perceptions (also yes i am actually not emma roberts). so love, if you really want me to be me, then you’re gonna have to accept who i am irl

Damian sends Lian a 10 page email with references and an itemized list of questions for every little thing for her bachelorette party/bridal shower/various other maid of honor duties ([damian voice] Are there lesbian strippers? I mean, of course there are lesbian strippers, the question I’m asking is, are there specific different strippers for lesbians? Do you even want strippers? Is it demeaning? I should get Stephanie to book them so it doesn’t sound like I’m being a creep looking to hire lesbian strippers)
Lian responds with “You fucking dumbass it’s supposed to be a [surprise bitch.gif]”
