Aloft Inktober/Glocktober 2023 Ask Request

The month is almost up and I haven't been doing a daily creative thing, so I'm bringing back my old #glocktober project, lightning round style. Send me asks with names pulled from my notebook Twitter account The New Belligerence and I'll provide descriptions for them in my post-apocalyptic science fantasy with airships TTRPG setting, Aloft: A Post-Atomic Romance (formerly Sons & Daughters). Keep em coming, and hopefully I'll get to 31 by All Saints Day.

Doing it on Tumblr instead of Twitter this year because Twitter engagement is at an all-time low, and the latest Horrors have left the space feeling like it's more for observation of said Horrors, and less welcome to concurrent, unrelated creativity.

Examples from previous years:

Hard No: A stop sign shield reinforced with kevlar, fiberglass, and bicycle aluminum, carried by Alex Webster, a crew chief with the vigilante infrastructure organization calling itself the US Department of Transportation. They use it to bash more often than to block.

The Gray Lady is both an airship crewed by journalists and equipped with an onboard printing press, and the name of the paper they distribute across the continent. It's one of the only independent airships declared off-limits to pirates sponsored by the Great Lakes barons.

Heroic Measures: This electrified falchion is wielded by the Twin Cities' infamous android paramedic-turned-monster hunter, Doctor Musashi. Its voltage generating components were adapted from a manual external defibrillator.

Send in the asks and help me get some creative flex sets and reps in.

@koipondering Ivan is such a beautifully crafted character, and as Aloft was weird enough to require a second watch, I could notice a few stuff which charmed me. Like the way he talks so abruptly and puts 0 effort into being polite, the way that even tho he loves his family, he is just so consumed by the unresolved feelings towards his mother. The narration for the interview of how his brother got injured seemed so convincing on his part, that it made me think he actually has convinced himself up to a certain point that that's what happened.

The ice-is-gonna-break scene was thrilling too, because at first I though Ivan knows what he's doing, she is being ignorant, but then the atmosphere shifted and his vulnerability was shown. The scene where he finds out she is sick and gets so angry-and after that, their...I don't know mutual understanding, where they look each other over the window. And (no I'm not obsessed) the way he literally pushed his face against the cold window, as if to say sorry.

The crying scene was completely heartbreaking, made me feel uneasy, he was so angry, and, for once during the whole movie we see clearly how guilt has been eating him alive.

Also, the scene where they shoot his falcon while he was a kid was honestly quite shocking.

That poor mother's drama was way beyond one that hasn't lived something similar can understand, but my notice is that...I don't know, she didn't seem to behave to Ivan like a kid, but rather an opponent? An equal, a grown up, which he wasn't, tough though he might be. Eg she should have hugged him, while they said goodbye, she should have understood that is was a reaction when he screamed his brother was gonna die anyway.

Long story short, yes, Ivan and his fucked up coping mechanisms and unresolved feelings are wonderfully interesting, and he is a beautiful, lovable (even if not in the first analysis) character.

P,S. Sorry, for this loong answer, you answered my comment and I straight up jumped on the chance, but it's such an overlooked movie and character, I've been wanting to rant about him a lot.

IN THE HEART OF THE SEA (2015) 42% #23 Critics Consensus: The admirably old-fashioned In the Heart of the Sea boasts thoughtful storytelling to match its visual panache, even if it can't claim the depth or epic sweep to which it so clearly aspires.
