The Dark Past (1948)

"What's eating you?"

"Nothing."

"That's what I mean, you haven't got the jitters like everyone else."

"I'm taking you at your word, Walker."

"My word?"

"You said you were waiting for someone. If we behaved ourselves, nothing would happen to us. I'm behaving myself."

Cobb in #particular shines in a surprisingly lowkey role as the quiet and controlled psychiatrist who tries to cure the gun wielding killer #who's broken into his house. there's a poorly realised subplot about the marital strife of Cobb's weekend guests that would have been #better excised from the film‚ but the leads are strong and the plot tight enough. less well developed are the women's roles; Foch‚ a firm #favourite of my noir viewings‚ has an unrewarding role as Holden's concerned girlfriend and Lois Maxwell (whom I've never actually seen in #anything made before her move to the UK and Bond and tv work galore) is wasted in a thankless part as Cobb's mostly offscreen wife

Im of the full (possibly delusional) belief that Durge is not the species that they physically appear to be.

You’re telling me this being crafted from nothing but bhaal’s flesh and his blood - this demigod - is actually a dragonborn/tiefling/human/elf/etc.

No. This thing is bhaal’s flesh and it just happens to look like that. They’re an imitation of a species, they’re not truly a (full)mortal being, they have no heritage aside from bhaal.

As a result I’m sure there’s some…oddities.

For example, a demigod child, not fully mortal. I doubt they adhere to the lifespan of whatever species they look like. Looking younger than they should. (less so perhaps with long lived races like elfs and half-elves where that is par for the course).

A dragonborn durge that by all accounts looks like a blue dragonborn but their breathweapon is acid. A tiefling durge that seems to be a Mephistopheles tiefling but they cannot cast mage hand, instead smiting like a zariel bloodline tiefling.

An elf or tiefling durge that doesn’t read as fey or infernal trough identification spells. Because they aren’t either of those things. Perhaps they could read as divine but not quite.

Members of a race that durge is supposed to be looking at them and sometimes when making eye contact they read as wrong. And some kind of uncanny effect triggers in their brain.

Give me more freaky durge who isn’t really what they appear to be at all. Just a little murder demigod crafted from dead god flesh to be the shape of something else.

#bg3 #durge #the dark urge #bg3 durge #bg3 the dark urge #bg3 dark urge #dark urge #bg3 headcanons #hall of wonders #zone of truth #this post is brought to you by me making my mephi-tiefling Durge mechanically a zariel tiefling to make them mechanically ‘wrong’#and also by my thoughts of a durge who ages eerily slow for their species #(wdym this mid 30’s /pushing 40’s guy looks not a day past his 20’s???)#(how much would that fuck with gortash. when your partner who’s race is of a similar lifespan to humans hasn’t aged in the decade you’ve #that you’ve know them)#(personally. i would die a little)

BG3 Comic: An Unwelcome Surprise

(Be forewarned: Dark Urge Act 3 Spoilers. Post is tagged. Click “read more” for the full comic.)

I always find myself wondering about the side conversations that must happen between the other characters while your PC is busy talking to the plot point givers.

Why get your own cape when you can bother the "future" version of yourself instead?

[Post AGIT] Dan gets his first job at a Nasty Burger

#this job was generously arranged for Dan by Vlad.#they take turns forcing each other to confront horrible traumatic moments from their past in the interest of character growth.#so this is Vlad's 'thank you' to Dan for reuniting him with Dani in my earlier comics.#Vlad is equal parts helpful and petty in this continuity <3 #danny phantom #dan phantom #dan masters #dark danny #danny phantom: a glitch in time #post agit

au where pit’s a trans girl who hasn’t figured it out yet and then the mirror of truth speedruns dp’s transition. and nothing else changes.

#kid icarus #kid icarus uprising #kiu #pit #dark pit #pittoo #pandora ki #palutena #fanart #sketch #comic #this based on my headcanon that the mirror of truth is gender affirming #which means i very much believe that pit is not transfem in canon. but BOY would it be funny if he were #the mirror of truth transing dp's gender is like trying to copy/paste an egg and ending up with a full-grown chicken #anyway. dp gets the magical miracle Instant HRT but pit has to do it the slow way. sad. many such cases each year

Happy October! It's the perfect time of the year to gather around the fire, roast some marshmallows, and tell horror stories about that time you and your roommates took in a monster that broke into your house!

#Animator vs Animation #AVA #AVM #Animation vs Minecraft #Purple #Yellow #Green #Blue #Red #The Second Coming #Orange #Color Gang #Knightmare Art #Purple learning about the group's past together must be a total roller coaster #“You guys fought the Dark Lord and lived???”#“LOL No. We died and were brought back by shenanigans probably.”#“?!?!?”

due to personal reasons i am now firmly on team “i hope aziraphale does change heaven for the better actually (going on the assumption that his return is as straightforward as it seemed etc”

like if the alternative is just this ohhh he’s so NAIVE and SOFT and so WRONG and he’ll have to LEARN A TOUGH LESSON etc etc nonsense then yeah 1000% go for it babe knock it out of the park

i hope choosing hope and kindness pays dividends. i hope the soft traits that made other characters continually disparage and underestimate him and his intelligence turn out to be his greatest assets bc i kinda don’t give a shit about a “toughen up it’s the only way everyone else knows better” life lesson for this character

(which like honestly a lot of the rhetoric is dismissive of the fact that persistent goodness in the face of an existence of disparagement takes great strength and that at the end of the day aziraphale has always been able to stand up in his own way)

#good omens #good omens 2 #good omens spoilers #aziraphale #aziraphale IS in fact a dark horse #he is consistently dismissed and underestimated and overlooked bc of how he presents himself!#even crowley does this with him (not in any sort of malicious way its a sense of protectiveness)#(i am not here to get into how aziraphale n crowley treat each other in ways that are unintentionally hurtful id be here forever lmao)#the point is that aziraphale is smart and tbh he knows more about how shitty heavens treatment has been the past few thousand year??#since he's. he's been the one getting treated badly. that whole time.#anyway theyre both right theyre both wrong and end of the day i just.#i hate the concept of a s3 that equates softness and kindness with being wrong and naive and dumb etc #it does not feel very good omens to me idk man #so i hope that's not where it goes
