BACK ON MY INVINCIBLE MLP CROSSOVER JOY!!! I love this crossover smmmm, my soul is happy, cured even, treated of all possible ills. For Andressa's species, instead of relying on a horn for magic (which they don't have), every filly is bestowed a gem for magic! AND, because I want it, Oliver has some winks to Andressa's designs with the swirls on his legs mimicking the lines on hers, sharing a thinly tail, tiny little bumps like spikes, and the curls sorta kinda maybe like her antennae (if you squint and believe, which you should). Andressa and Oliver ilysm. Best purple pony on the planet tbh, sorrry not sorry Twilight Sparkle :/

Bonus drawing of Oliver trying to practice magic by lifting a sheet of paper, he's trying his best, ok???

Now having watched Frankenstein (1931) I find this really interesting. I didn't really expect the writers themselves to have watched the film; I assumed they saw it was a horror film released in Pete's time and included it with the bonus that the audience would know the story because its Frankenstein. It really aligns with the themes of spider noir though, so I'm second guessing myself.

I read Frankenstein a while back so I'm not as familiar with it as I once was, but I'd say its generous to say the movie is based off of the original novel. It hits some of the points but it really is different. I mean, in the film its Henry Frankenstein, not even Victor.

In the film, the monster is played almost-infantile. He reaches out towards light as if he could grab it. He plays with a little girl by a lake, throwing in flowers to watch them float like boats. When he kills her, it's an accident. How could he have known that she wouldn't float along with the flowers? Its Frankenstein and his assistant who are portrayed as monstrous. They lock him in the dark for three days. The intimidate him with fire and whips and fists.

Despite this, its Frankenstein who gets the 'good end,' while the monster is left to burn alive, pinned inside a wooden mill set alight by the townspeople.

Pete could have gotten nightmares from a number of scenes. Although I wouldn't personally say this is a scary film, there are definitely unnerving parts. There was also a different standard in 1931 for what was scary in film, plus Pete was already living a hard life at such a young age when he saw it.

Based on the panels themselves it is clear that Pete was scared of the monster itself (which is fair, the make up and costuming wanted him to be frightening). "I expected him to tell me there's no such thing as monsters," because no one in real life is a resurrected, looming... once-man-now-creature. (Just you wait, Peter). It's a more juvenile read of the film but Pete is a kid. Ben though, is a veteran, a socialist, has been around the block. He has the sense to analyze the film and interpret it differently. It is the men who find themselves with a capacity for senseless cruelty that are the monsters. That is exactly what the noir comics are about.

I really like that it's clear that Uncle Ben knows what Peter is about to learn. It also shows how much Pete has changed, just within the 1-2 years since he'd seen Frankenstein.

the kid alastor au is so sad but so funny at the same time. like its sad because he never got to grow up properly and had to mature and a very young age, but also. imagine youre an overlord who managed to get on alastors bad side without realizing it and then the last thing you see is some ten year old boy with fluffy deer ears torturing and killing you. me personally i would NOT take that level of disrespect. plot twist alastor actually had to get husk’s soul some other way than he does in canon because no one will let him into a casino.

also, do you think he’d get along with some of the cannibal town kids, since they’re some of the few sinner children we see in hell, or does he prefer to stick by adults who dont know his identity as the radio demon, since he’s technically fairly old? would he even BE a cannibal in this au? i doubt he ever got to murder anyone as a human before he died, but since he hangs around rosie still she might have offered him a finger or two and, uh… perhaps he was always just predestined for cannibalism even without becoming a bloodthirsty serial killer in life.

Yeah, this AU is inherently hilarious and kid-shaped Alastor is keenly aware of the absurdity of his whole... thing. But he makes it work for him, especially when he's torturing Overlords. He just loves the looks on his victims faces when he reveals himself as the Radio Demon, leaning into the whole creepy kid aesthetic as he's killing them.

The thing about Alastor is that it's very difficult to keep him out of places he wants to get into. Husk first saw Alastor when he strolled right up to the high rollers table and peeked over one of the player's shoulders to see their cards.

"Ooh, that looks like a good hand!" The shark jolted, surprised by the tiny voice chirping in his ear. The King of Hearts - everyone at the table - stared in sheer disbelief at the little schoolboy-looking brat who'd had the gall to intrude at HIS table. The kid smiled, apparently unconcerned with the numerous glares fixed on him. "What the- Who the fuck are you?" the shark growled at the kid. "Alastor! A pleasure to be meeting you, sirs. Quite a pleasure!" As he spoke, the kid wormed his way between two hulking shark-demons and sat his scrawny ass down at the table. "Would you happen to have room at your table for one more?" "Beat it, kid. We ain't playin' Go Fish," Husk snapped. "SECURITY!"

Security threw him out, but not two minutes later Alastor was back inside. No matter how many times Husk had Alastor tossed out, he'd just pop back in, as if by magic. Finally, Husk agreed to let Alastor play ONE GAME if he would just stay the hell out of his casino afterwards.

Well, you know how that went.

I won't say this version of Alastor is much nicer to Husk. But by present, Alastor does very much appreciate that Husk talks to him like any other adult. Like, they have their in jokes, the routine with the ID card and whatnot, but Husk of all people knows he isn't just some kid and doesn't pity him.

Well, Husk doesn't outwardly pity him.

And yeah, I do think Alastor has a sort of kinship with demon children. He doesn't consider himself one of them, fully, especially in the case of actual Hellborn kids who won't stay children forever. But since the Pride Ring is primarily made up of sinners, I think the small population of sinners who died as children and survived past their first extermination in hell probably have some sort of community. I'm not 100% certain about the cannibal kids, since I've heard conflicting information on whether Rosie and her people are Hellborn or not. Their entire design seems to set them apart from the rest of the sinners.

Regardless, Alastor is friends with Rosie in this AU, and he does become a cannibal through her influence. Although Rosie doesn't know he's the Radio Demon, she does suspect that he's more powerful than he lets on and treats him no different than any of her clients. Their friendship is pretty similar to canon with them exchanging information and favors over coffee and pinkie fingers. She even gives him details from the Overlords' meetings. When they're in private though, Alastor lets himself relax a bit, and allows Rosie to fuss over him. Alastor is a bit contradictory, and as much as he doesn't want people treating him like a child, he mourns the childhood that was violently ripped away from him and the mother he lost in that moment. When he and Rosie have these moments, it feels for a moment like he really is a kid again.

4⭐Town Moments that make you fall in love him even more.....

Robaire spotting you hunched over your desk working at your laptop, your mind obviously buzzing with your genius as you get work done. You'd come over earlier since, according to you, his inspiration inspires you to work harder but youve been sat there for hours with the same slight frustration on your face. Smirking, Robaire sneaks up behind you and presses a soft kiss to the back of your neck, laughing warmly when you jump in surprise and wrapping his arms around your waist from behind, a pleasant and loving distraction....

Jesse waiting restlessly for you at a local cafe for brunch, his leg bouncing under the table and his bright eyes narrow as they scan the street back and forth. When he sees you in the crowd, your bright smile and glowing delight to see him too, he stands quickly and embraces you with all the brilliant warmth of his love. it is as if the sun is shining brighter now that you're here, and as you eat, he can't take his eyes away from yours, nor let go of your hand or shake the smile blossoming across his face...

Taeyoung holding your hand as tightly as you hold his, both of you shoulder to shoulder as inch reluctantly through a haunted house together. youre about halfway through when you share a look of mutual regret, only to be scared out of your minds when a worker dressed as a giant zombified grizzly bear jumps out of the shadows. your heart is racing but when you finally stumble out the otherside of the house, still clinging to Taeyoungs hand, you both burst into peals of laughter at how terrified you were and the thrill of it seemed to glue you even closer together...

Aaron T beaming with pride as he presents you with a giant studio lined with huge white canvases and in the centre beside him is a kids pool filled with balloons filled with paint. you grin at his enthusiasm and idea about spending the afternoon making abstract splatter paint, but when his back is turned, to pick up a balloon aim and throw it intime for an explosion of yellow paint to erupt on his shoulder and the curve of his neck. for a moment he's stunned into silence, but then he beams, grabs three paint balls and chasing a now screaming you around the studio, both of you launching balloons at each other and shrieking with laughter as the room blooms with color...

Aaron Z sitting beside you beneath a near perfectly filled moon on the beach. its midnight, and besides you both on the shore, there is no one and nothing around besides thw sky, the moon and stars, the cool sand and the ever crashing waves of foamy ocean that pulls away just before your feet. it doesnt take long for you to sigh with contentment and rest your head on his sturdy shoulder, and feeling you rest against him, Z grins a blush to himself before leaning his head against yours, watching the perfect night with you pass in gentle peace.....

[hetagrammy]

The Venetican on my dash is tempting me to add it to my Borgia AU. Like there's a GerIta endgame, but the idea of Feli fucking around with his brother's cardinal co-worker, and there being already a pretty clear undercurrent of malice as well as attraction, turning officially sour after Lovino wins the papacy over him?? While on top of that Feliciano taunting his hypocrisy for getting all uppity over Lovino keeping a mistress? Good lord the spice.
