#big my beloathed

[chalkrevelations]

OK, first week of 15 Minutes with KPTS, which is about the time that Ep 1 takes to introduce us to our titular protagonists and let them have their meet-cute.

Something that immediately hit me is that Kinn is introduced as a literal red flag. Everybody makes so much of Vegas's red villain mood lighting, but Kinn marches out of that main family compound front entrance in our first view of him in a suit that's alternately the color of dried and fresh blood, depending, for his business meeting to casually shoot a guy in the head as a message. That suit's going to look burgundy, dark, the color of a scab of dried blood for most of this initial appearance, but then right around 14:30, when he gets off the motorcycle from behind Porsche at that gas station after they escape the goons trying to kill him, it's noticeably brighter, closer to the color of fresh blood, for his first actual conversation with Porsche.

Another thing I noticed right away was the use of reflections, and I know there's already been some meta about reflected vs. real images in the show, but I had forgotten that we start seeing it used this early. Some of it is probably for convenience, so we can see both Kinn's and Don's faces in a single shot, even though they're faced off on opposite sides of a table, but it also serves as an extension of self for the characters, a literal image of their metaphorical reach. When Kinn starts talking about looking through the company books, and then again when he talks about someone cheating, there are moments when we're looking directly at Don, and there's a reflection of Kinn to his right on screen, looking as if he's behind Don. If the reflection is an extension of self, then this is Kinn observing Don, stalking Don, while remaining unseen. Then there are a handful of times - including when Don asks Kinn to sit down at the beginning of the meeting, and then again when Kinn holds out his hand and accepts Big's gun - when we get a shot of Don that also shows both actual Kinn in front of him (across the table from him) and reflected Kinn behind him, the two of Kinn flanking him, like he's got Don boxed in - which of course, he does. The jaws of the trap are set when Don asks Kinn to sit down, and they snap closed when Big's gun hits the palm of Kinn's hand.

This is all intercut with our introduction to Porsche at Hum Bar, and we first see him facing away from the camera, toward the mirror behind the bar that's lined with liquor and glasses, as Yok brings in some customers, before he finally he turns around, game face on, to perform for the ladies. Porsche at Hum Bar is all shirt unbuttoned even lower than Kinn's, smooth talking the ladies, getting his cocktail on behind the bar, doing a dozen shots, handing out Don Juan advice for free - because he doesn't charge his homies - to his junior waiters and bartenders, and getting busy with tonight's hookup in the back alley. Every bit of this is a hustle of some kind - Porsche is introduced to us as a hustler. He advises his juniors that the way into rich ladies' wallets and panties is to praise them and give them what they want. He's having a post-O cigarette in the alley when Kinn comes barrelling in with Assassination Goon Squad hot on his heels, and like any good hustler, Porsche requires a fee for services rendered, i.e. to save Kinn's ass, because Kinn is not one of the homies. We're treated to a brief display of Porsche's street-fighting skills that we'll see for a couple of episodes and that he'll then apparently lose, like everything else of his old life, as he's subsumed into the main family compound. :sadface: I'm going to miss street-fighter Porsche. The hustler will remain, however, and will not only understand that Vegas requires a fee to provide information in Ep 13 but will hold out that fee, a.k.a. Pete, on a silver platter, because Porsche is not actually one of Vegas's homies, and that's how you get services rendered. You can take the boy off the streets, but can you take the streets out of the boy?

At about 14:45, we've made our escape on Porsche's motorcycle, we stop in a gas station parking lot, and we hit this little wordless conversation of headtilts that was what initially hooked me into the show. Both Apo and Mile do a great job of this, and Mile, frankly, looks the best he's going to look anywhere in the show - I don't know if it's having Kinn's unfortunate helmet hair tousled fetchingly by the breeze on the back of a motorbike, or if this earliest stage of the show is still showing Filmania styling influence or what, but they never quite manage to hit this again.

Of note, the first time around, this whole exchange in the gas station parking lot gave me some expectations for their later pairing dynamic that did not pan out at all, lol (rough-trade Porsche whomst?). I can't help feeling like both Porsche and I get taken in a little bit by a Kinn who's out of his element and more specifically out of the iron control he otherwise keeps on everyone and everything around him, and we never really see that guy again, other than at some points during the kidnapping in Ep 6. Kinn playacts at it some when they slip the leash in Ep 8, maybe, but it still feels like an act there, I think - I'll be interested to see how I feel about it when it comes 'round on this re-watch. Porsche is also in control of their interaction in this scene in a way that not only will he never have again, but that we'll watch be systematically stripped away from him, sometimes brutally. Probably unintentional and just meant as a good comedy bit, but with knowledge of what's coming, Kinn asking for Porsche's phone and Porsche saying no while yanking it away from him made me think about how not only is Porsche going to lose his phone when the main family compound swallows him, but how he's only going to get a phone back - and one he's only supposed to use to call Kinn - when Kinn allows it for his own convenience.

Shot of the family crest ring as Porsche pulls Kinn's watch off.

First shot of Pete - foreground and blurred - at about 16:50 as the camera focuses on Arm and Ken instead.

Big's with Kinn for the entire first part of this sequence - he opens the door as Kinn leaves the main family compound, rides in the same car, takes point on the walk into the back room to meet Don, stands at Kinn's left shoulder during the meeting, hands Kinn his own gun for the wetwork, and of course is the one who sticks to Kinn like a burr while trying to escape Assassination Goon Squad, until he gets shot. He gets shot in the arm right about the same place Pete's going to shoot Vegas in the last ep. He's also shown right up front wearing his cute little stylin' ponytail and some earrings, indicating both that he's going to be a speaking character and that he's apparently being allowed some liberties with the dress code that we aren't going to see from anyone else while they're in uniform. Meanwhile, we don't actually see any more of our regulars among the bodyguards during the meeting with Don.

Gets us to about 17:00 for this week.

𝐓𝐨 𝐌𝐫. 𝐄𝐚𝐠𝐥𝐞,

Could you possibly do a freecam of the 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐨𝐲 ending? Up to where Carlo is revealed at the end?

Many thanks, clever one ♡

Hello blue fairy friend!

I had tried my best but unfortunately the cutscene just after this is also pre-rendered and therefore unable to be explored. Alas, I have been thwarted again!

#lies of p #lop #clever one ahh thank (´∀｀*) #PRE RENDERED CUTSCENES MY BELOATHED #Also haha my online presence is very gender I see. excellent excellent lol #thank you friend! but ahhhh Big Sad that this and Gio’s post credit scenes are pre rendered #I WANT TO EXPLORE THEM #lies of p screenshots #lies of p photography #P #Pino #giuseppe geppetto #Carlo #little don’t look

Danyal Al Ghul doodle dumps from my Danyal Al Ghul Au. I was thinking about Him earlier today, and thus decided to draw him. Tis good headshape practice, and just drawing practice in general. You can spot the time difference not by the lighting but by the fact Danny suddenly has curls. Plus an honorary colored version because it twas one of my favorites

So there you have it, a 44-page comic project "How Are You Supposed To Feel Like?" is coming here on tumblr. The project will concentrate on Pasi and his feelings regarding the aromantic label. It starts next week's saturday, 4 pages at a time, and will update weekly. This means no other short comics for a while, back says big ouchie.

On top of posting the comic here, you can also find me on Tapas and Webtoons, where I will be uploading the comic, too.

This has been a PSA

[chalkrevelations]

Somebody made a joke back in the day about Vegas having put in his bl research to study how to be a second lead during the period when he’s trying to pull Porsche, but as long as we’re being meta-/intratextual, what about this:

How many times do you think Big manfully sniffled - BUT DID NOT CRY GDI - his way through whipping-boy/bodyguard bls thinking that was supposed to be his life, dammit?

[aro-culture-is]

Aro culture is writing a character as aromantic, explicitly showing their aversion to romance and their priority in found family and friends, only to have someone comment (paraphrased) “Love this! Wish they were married though!” and wanting to bite someone.

#Anonymous #aro culture is #aro #aromantic #actually aro #actually aromantic #ask #mod axel #oh fucking Yikes #amatonormativity my beloathed #and tbh like. marriage as such a big thing in society def has religious roots and i don't really like that #for me its christian but i'm not really sure if marriage as a word/concept is similar in judaism and islam in comparable ways so far #as the concept of amatonormativity is concerned #since i did not grow up in a jewish or muslim society at all lol

Bruce Banner got shipped off to space after AoU because the Russos knew the entire plot for Civil War would fall apart if Bruce had been with the Avengers when Thaddeus Ross of all people walked through that door claiming the Accords were about "oversight and accountability."

#Bruce: 'ROSS? YOU'RE GOING TO TRUST *ROSS*? YOU DO REALIZE HE HUNTED ME ACROSS THE WORLD FOR 5 YEARS RIGHT?' #I have like...infinite critiques and criticisms over how Civil War was handled #but Bruce being excluded from it SPECIFICALLY because his mere presence would require a complete restructuring of the plot is a big one #ca: civil war (my beloathed) #mcu #bruce banner #ca: civil war #mcu fanwank
