Finally managed to gif the single most earth shatteringly important Arkos moment.

The quality isn't great but when I tell you I think about this regularly I mean it.

#rwby #rwby arkos #molten rambles #jaune arc #pyrrha nikos #this is exactly the reason i dont want Jaune to romance anyone else until the series is completely done #he still loves her so deeply #the way he nuzzles into her neck #the hand on her face #the look in his eyes #its also why im so set on the fact that they shouldve been dating since the dance #let them some happiness

gortash insists that he and the dark urge are the only two people in the world who matter-- his will is above all others, and the dark urge is his only equal.

and i think an interesting thing to consider, given the choices you can make in the game, particularly on the resisting path, is a dark urge who learns to value other people because gortash valued them, but that value doesn't stop at gortash. maybe it's true for a while that gortash is the only person in the world who can understand the dark urge, but he planted the seed of personhood (in the face of a cult who wanted a weapon, and a society that doesn't want a bhaalspawn) in the dark urge, and when they awake on the nautiloid, it's that seed that remains and allows them to truly connect with their companions. people who they otherwise would have seen as bodies on the alter of their father.

gortash is frozen in time, stuck in a world where there are only two people, after he gave the dark urge the key to a much broader and brighter world. and for a while, he lives in a world where that only other person was snatched away, until they come back, and now they want things gortash implanted in them that he will probably never understand.

gortash never experienced even a sliver of the temptation off the path of alienation that the dark urge is implied to have been offered in some of their flashbacks, and there's something so desolate about the idea of a person who gave someone exactly what they needed until that person's needs outgrew him, because he cannot change in the manner that they were able to.

#and to be clear i dont believe anyone is Wholly Unable To Change but i think gortash is uninterested in it yanno #enver gortash #the dark urge #durgetash #bg3 #also this is totally how i view his relationship with my own durge amity #and the way they dance around this (still in lo-- obsession but now there are Other Emotions Intruding) is its own horrible mess <3

I think we should be allowed to burn corporations to the ground

even aside from all the current residuals&streaming availability fuckery, I was looking at  978-0786847655 one of the Disney Fairies books with some lovely illustrations and the artists listed are

The Disney Storybook Artists

That’s nothing. That’s less than nothing. I want names and proper credits. SO many books are published by the mouse with only this catch all name listed for worlds of work. What if I want to track down the artists and support their individual work? Do you keep them in a cave and not let them see the sun? Or do you just not believe in proper crediting.

‘oh but there was probably a contract and they were surely paid’ yeah and ???? paid how much what about residuals are the artists even allowed to put these books on their work history since without their name credited anywhere. The contract or job listing or internship clause or whatever tactic disney uses to get away with this is scummy while sure this type of thing should be low on the list of priorities on how to de-shitify the world, it should be on the list.

yes some of the artists who have worked on the franchise are listed on the artofdisneyfairies tumblr, but that’s a fan account and it’s incomplete. A book should have full proper credits in it

The corporation may own the art but they didn’t make it and they shouldn’t hide who did the work as neither artists nor ‘consumers’ benefit from that.

#disney #corporation #copyright #disney fairies #illustrations #if anyone knows anything about what the deal with this job is i'd be interested to hear about it #i would also like the name(s) of the artists but that is secondary to my outrage about respecting your artists enough to give them credit #been looking at old childhood book illustrations and hey! just bought the ruth sanderson artbook! #because I know who illustrated my copy of 12 dancing princesses! #disney kids can't fucking do that #this feels like when video games dont fully credit everyone who worked on a project #the credits are how people prove they've worked this type of job before!

It is of my opinion that Eddie would actually have a killer falsetto which Steve discovers when he walks into the trailer kitchen to find eddie singing along to the radio playing you make me feel like dancing while waltzing (surprisingly well) with an upside down mop

#Steve is leaning up against the counter arms crossed and smiling just watching #until eddie notices and when he does he shields his ‘dancing partner’ and stage whispers to it ‘DONT worry my love. he will never separate #us. our love is too strong. he is but a jealous voyeur’ #and Pretends to make out with the mop head complimenting the ‘thick and lucious hair. much better than anyone in hawkins’ #Steve feels like his heart is going to burst with how much he wants to kiss the smile that Eddie is fighting Down #they aren’t even dating (YET) #Eddie recounts the whole thing to Wayne later that night because he needs boy advice and Wayne may be exasperated but he is supportive #mayhaps I should have put those tags in the main post… #alas I cannot be bothered #go listen to Leo sayer #and wham rap because it’s fun #stranger things #eddie munson #steddie #steve harrington

“Go with them,” she commanded Ser Jorah.

“As you command.” The knight gave her a curious look. “You are your brother’s sister, in truth.” 

“Viserys?” She did not understand. 

“No,” he answered. “Rhaegar.” He galloped off.

incredibly messy drawing but the few times the rhaegar and dany dynamic/parallels are discussed are so interesting to me!!

#my art #a game of thrones #a clash of kings #a storm of swords #a feast for crows #a dance with dragons #a song of ice and fire #asoiaf fanart #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls #got #rhaegar targaryen #daenerys targaryen #i dont expect anyone to tag this as a ship #but dont tag it as a ship #i will get your ass fr >:((( #to be clear! rhaegar is always on my shit list for what he did to elia #he is the flop house husband to me #but how dany is compared to him is so interesting because he is an ideal not a person at this point #and their dynamic with the prophecy is also vvv cool to me with rhaegar chasing after it so desperately and the prophecy #(and prophecies in general) coming so easily to dany #yet she is still compared to him #something something targaryen men define targaryen womanhood or whatever #even from beyond the grave! #anyways i refused to draw that stupid dragon sigil did not have it in me also didnt want to reread the horse heart scene so #freeballed it on the clothes #its about the vibes its about the feeling!!

i've started using Just Dance as a workout and well. it's super fun, but i've discovered that i have No Coordination. at all <3 i'm having the time of my life flailing around like a dying fish

#fighting for my life on easy mode- #i think if anyone looked in my room while im 'dancing' #theyd call 911 and tell them im having a seizure #ill hit the rhythm for a glorious two seconds #and Immediately lose it again! #apparently i cannot dance <3 sense of rhythm Who <3 #but i dont care! im having fun! fun exercise! #absolutely unprompted #and i really need it #range of motion in my shoulders is kinda fucked #my body is too acclimated to shrimping in a desk chair #gotta flail around to improve my health smh

Jawbone asking Riz about his deal and saying he's the only Bad Kid he hasn't really had a heart to heart with implies that at some point he's had an honest conversation with both Gorgug and Fabian about their feelings, OR Fabian and Gorgug are so easy to read that he can just clock their various mental issues with a glance and I'm not sure which concept I like more

#correct me if im wrong but i dont think fabian and gorgug have talked extensively to jawbone in canon #i think that gorgug would talk to jawbone but i cant really see fabian talking about his issues much #maybe after the dancing stuff he'd be a bit more open but i think fabian is genuinely convinced he's normal #however Fabian's whole deal is pretty transparent to anyone who knows him deeper than surface level so #d20 #fantasy high #fh #fhjy

My last post made me want to spin the ballet au to suit the general cast, keeping Es as the protagonist 🩰

I don't have art for this one but I still got a bit carried away with the details LOL This definitely leans more into a sweet fix-it :3

The story would open with Es waking up in the medical room of Milgram Dance Academy, a very small and isolated school. Es is told they suffered a bad head injury during a performance, resulting in amnesia. Their instructor (Jackalope. Make this work however you wish.) tells them not to worry about it, and to focus on their dancing for now. Es feels a pressing responsibility to stay and rehearse, so they agree.

Jackalope tells them they must understudy several roles while recovering, not ready to jump into things right away. They're grateful, since they're struggling with their identity and expression without their memories.

The first student they are directed to is a shy and lanky dancer by the name of Haruka. They study under him as the role of a graceful, melancholic swan. They watch the choreography in general, and it looks nice enough. Es proceeds to spend several rehearsals with him, talking and bonding and learning he has a bit more going on than meets the eye. They try to offer help as he admits to familial issues, self esteem questions, and comments about sibling jealousy. In turn, he teaches Es to mimic some of his powerful emotions. At the end of their time together, they both perform for their class in full costume and staging. Now, Es understands each move with a deeper understanding than their initial look at the steps.

Next, they’re sent to meet the bubbly girl playing Juliet and begin the process anew. This continues to make a total of ten roles. Some of the dancers take the sessions kindly, while others are brash, secretive, or just confusing.

After rehearsing with Kotoko and learning to understand her determination and confidence, Es is sent back to Haruka, who has moved onto a new show and new role. They’re shocked to discover that their words to each dancer – always well-intentioned – had caused some issues backstage. Now, there are rivalries and changes in stage presence. While experiencing stress (that Es has inadvertently caused,) some were distracted in rehearsal and got injured. Es must take on the interpersonal issues as well as the choreography challenges.

I don’t have all the roles down and was trying to stick to well-known shows anyway, but I think I’d want Muu to be the Sugar Plum Fairy, Kazui to be Albrecht from Giselle, and Amane to be Clara. I wanted to keep them traditionally gendered to prove there are plenty of roles for men, but I can’t help but have Odette/Odile thoughts for T1 Mikoto ;-;

Like the other post, I'm equally tempted to have the dancers performing ballet adaptations of the mvs 👀 I want to see. Bee tutu. Doctor coat costume. Marching band tutu. AKAA mismatched look. The backgrounds. The music. The choreo. So many cool possibilities...

As a sweet au, it all ends with everyone better for having met one another. Es is cast in a solo performance, combining everything they've learned both emotionally and technically from the others. They feel satisfied with their sense of identity, and shine onstage ✨️✨️✨️

#milgram #es #plus the whole cast lol #ballet aus my beloved!!!! #is jackalope human? does he teach ballet on his lil bunny paws? you decide 👍 #oh albrecht is the guy giselle falls in love with but when his true identity is revealed she dies/kills herself of heartbreak ;--; jsyk ;-- #if anyone has any casting ideas lmk 👀 these were off the top of my head but i can definitely look for fitting roles for everyone #unlike the other au i dont picture any murder equivalents here -- they still have their flaws and everything but no ones gotten hurt #both these aus require a school full of other dancers but im picturing the milgram cast as es' specific class they spend all his time with #and since the other students are the audience i guess that means you all are part of my au 😌 welcome to dance school 😌 #you could probably combine 05/06 or 06/07 as romeo and juliet while going through their respective lovers issues #when amane plays clara i want fuuta as her drosselmeyer :3 (both for sweet reasons and. eyepatch.) #i had the bulk of this jotted down for so long - its nice to finish the art and clean up the phrasing to post! #dropping this while i reboot my brain from my trip... i shall return soon ;-;

Prawnsitting again this weekend :)

#her name is not prawn for anyone new here #when my aunt is away my gran (lots of free time but hates cats) feeds her meals and i (not much free time but loves cats) give her treats #and hang out in the evenings bc shes a very social little kitty . very chatty #and her special treat is prawns and she cries if you dont give her a prawn every day and sings and dances when there are prawns

i feel like people wouldn’t have been so shitty in regards to violet if the game was more transparent about the issues within violet and minerva’s relationship before she was taken.

like i’m pretty sure the game developers did mention how vi wasn’t really getting the treatment she should’ve been (??) in the relationship, and you do see it in certain scenes, but those scenes are mostly in the romance violet route, so people who already decided to hate her and only play the louis route didn’t get to see them.

#like okay she IS a lil mean when you first meet her but i just took that as her humour #like even one of the game devs said they wrote the dialogue for when she first speaks to clem based on how they feel like she’d flirt #but even though she loved minnie you could totally tell there was something wrong there IMO #her being so shocked that clementine likes her #her being so nervous to ask to dance #and to initiate a kiss in that once scene #basically saying shes never been able to dance w anyone made me go ??? bc if shes always wanted to and she was dating minnie why couldnt she #which leads me to think minnie either shot her down or she felt like she couldnt ask #which are both equally as sad #and dont even let me mention the captured vi route #shes so misunderstood #twdg #twdg s4 #clementine twdg #violet twdg #violentine #minerva
