Film after film: 24 City (dir. Jia Zhangke, 2008)
This beautifully shot film has several characters, former employees of a state-owned factory in southwest China, narrate the experience centering around the factory's closure and its conversion into an apartment complex. It's a simple format, one that greatly fits the fascinatingly sprawling narrative.

Prompt 47
Hear me out. Amity Park gets shifted in universes slightly- maybe it’s from Pariah, maybe it was a wish, maybe they did so on purpose to escape something- and they end up in the DC-verse. The thing is, thanks to the media blackout and the shields, no one in the new universe notices.
The Amityville Paekers know about outside, can go on the internet and leave whenever they want, but they’ve all become more than a little liminal. More than a little off.
Movements too graceful, eyes too sharp, ears too pointed and teeth more akin to predatory fangs. Skin with a soft glow, hair moving as though underwater or being tussled by the wind- bodies seemingly unaging after a certain point.
They’re so ecto-contaminated that they’re unsure they can even be counted as human anymore, and it wasn’t like the city wasn’t already practically self sufficient. Add in a portal or two through the Infinite Realms to get supplies to start a few fields or some fish farms and well, they’re pretty good. Sure it’s resulted in them using a mixture of modern and older money and having several extinct plants and animals running around but that’s fine.
There’s magic in this world! Actual magic, that they can learn! And use? Oh this makes rebuilding after a sparring incident go so much faster!
This results in the hero who stumbles across this place to believe they’ve stumbled across some sort of city of fae or elves.

I began to care about my parents. The thing I most want now is to make a lot of money. Lots and lots of money. I want to buy an apartment in 24 City for my parents.

modern au hiccup is my beloved he is like me fr
Doing the rest of the gang (and others wink wonk) soon! Hiccup’s vibe to me is a whole soup full of styles (punk, techwear, casual, etc etc) so I tried my best to kinda combine the main elements of them. Also I just looked at his costume progression thru the httyd universe and had an idea to make his third movie armor lean more into techwear cuz why not
Drop ur modern hic headcanons and I’ll consume them happily k bye
