Bwaaah!! Kai and Nya designs for my au!!

I always loved Nya as Samurai-X, so in my au she gets to be a Samurai again, as a treat (Pixal still gets to be there as a Samurai too, don't worry 👍)

While these are mainly based off of their original season 7 outfits, I went a little bit farther on changing Kai's because I had a Specific Idea in mind that will sorta influence how the twins (specifically Acronix) react to him because he is Ray's son, along with Kai's own conflicted feelings over his parents

Hhmmmmmmmm you know what heres those old Ray and Maya sketches too (from like, ,, late March?)

Also yeah!! In my au, during the first serpentine war Acronix and Krux were good friends with Ray and Maya. Which makes everything that happened later hurt alot more, unfortunately

#ninjago #ninjago kai #ninjago nya #ninjago ray #ninjago maya #ignore the quality difference between Kai's and Nya's #i actually did Nya's like two weeks ago and had to pull it from a separate document whoops #mayday's the eleventh hour

Love that despite Oltyx's grumping about how every other necron around him sucks and he only likes maybe 2-3 other people, he's the one necron in canon who's had guardians and protectors from every walk of life. First his family (Djoseras, and once upon a time, Unnas), then the nobles of varying stations (e.g. Yenekh and Parreg), all the way to those of lowborn origin (Neth and Pakhet) who are dearly devoted to his well-being. Outsiders too, like Mentep and Zultanekh, not to mention every Flayed One by the end of his story!

It doesn't surprise me that the final mode of society he settles on as Valgûl is more egalitarian than literally any other necron dynasty out there. Despite the universe trying its best to crush Oltyx's ability to relate to other people out of him, Oltyx was more cared for than he let himself believe, and had more respect than he gave credit for. When it comes down to it, this was a boy who was very loved, and I'm glad he came to terms with it at the end 😭💖

#warhammer 40k #wh40k #the twice dead king #oltyx #necrons #necron #a thought i should have put in the neth post but forgot - i can't be the only person who thought his affection for oltyx was... fatherly?? #he adores and is proud of oltyx to a degree almost excessive even if he weren't getting the treatment he was getting #it's exactly the sort of pride unnas might have once had in oltyx if. well. if unnas hadn't become That #add in pakhet and how she was once oltyx's tutor teaching him to fight and survive and... ghghhghghghg!!!!! #idk it really feels like oltyx had parents and brothers many times over across the classes #the bone kingdom is one big happy bloody family ; w ; #p.s. didn't put lysikor in this post because he does not have ultimately have oltyx's well-being in mind but like #i don't think that's super personal or anything. just trying to build up to a magnificent eleventh hour here no offense oltyx king #he probably did... care...??? idk it's more interesting to think he did

I Know kim and harry literally index the case using the date 08/03 suggesting this is the date of day 1 however ruby's diary entry says M's peone is coming to martinaise to investigate on the Ninth (and besides, it doesnt fit with the date of death being the fourth and that the corpse has been hanging for seven days as of day 1). might the index just use eg the date the corpse was reported to the rcm rather than the date assigned officers actually make it to the scene

#in which case day 1 is on the eleventh right... #lely was murdered (4th) -> cuno threw rocks at the corpse for a few days before klaasje decided to call it in (8th) -> #harry arrived in martinaise (a few hours later on the 8th?) -> harry has a three day long bender and wakes up the morning of the 11th #that being said ruby's diary entry about being holed up 'here' (taking this to mean the fisher shack) is from the 12th #so maybe klaasje called it in say 11pm on the 8th and the dispatched harry the morning of the 9th #plus the three day bender would have the kineema waking up harry and scaring away ruby to the feld building on the 12th #I Sure Feel like this is something that should be very simple that im just not understanding bc im tired #or maybe it was obvious to everyone else this whole time. not sure! #gemitus #disco elysium #maintagging yeah sowwy 👍 #i think the fact that he was killed at night probably adds some rounding to the mix here

i’m such a sucker for the songs that take place about 50 minutes into longer off book episodes. what is it about that time frame that makes them all bangers

#and i am talking specifically about #you can’t trust a horse #rock my body like a wonderland #and the eleventh hour song in fear the ocean i forget its name #along with probably others that i’m forgetting about #but those all have something in common and its that i played them again after the episode ended #off book #off book podcast

With each new volume, I am consistently so impressed with the TAZ graphic novels from an adapational perspective. Eleventh Hour is a long arc, with a lot of material to cover, and they managed to not only seamlessly trim it without sacrificing an ounce of its charm, but also add depth to the existing characters (that first conversation with Ren!!! I could write a whole mini essay on that conversation alone) while smoothly integrating additional material from the interludes into the main story a diagetic and meaningful way. I'm just so impressed, it's such a great example of storytelling and adaptation and working to your medium. It's so well made. I can't wait for Suffering Game

#taz #the adventure zone #taz balance #i just love these books #i'm so glad they exist #the art is so expressive! I felt so many emotions in the Julia sequence in Eleventh Hour it was insane #like more than I felt listening to that segment in the podcast insane #i swear you can also carey pietsch improving as an artist over the course of the series and it is so cool #oh and don't get me started on the taako and kravitz tweaks! #crystal kingdom was impressive to begin with in its trimming of a very long arc #but the additional time and attention paid to building out that relationship is just so perfect #just enough extra time to round it out #not so much that it ever threatens to muddle the story or feel like pandering #ANYWAY you should read the taz graphic novels they're very good

DOCTOR AND AMY + the apple

he was lonely. she wanted the world

The Doctor starts out his journey loving something he will end up hating. An apple -> shown to represent 1) a craving 2) freshness. This instance serves as a suitable metaphor for a perspective of a companion he will inevitably end up leaving. In Amy Pond's final episode her daughter, River Song, advises her to never let (the Doctor) see the damage which can easily be read as an instruction against growing old. Amy is accused of having noticable lines on her eyes in the same episode. This is the episode in which she dies.

Amelia Pond starts out hating something she will end up loving. It is revealed that she, unlike the Doctor, used to hate apples. This was before her mother put faces on them, turning dislike into a symbol of love. Amy is shown to resent the idea of marriage. She is later praised for her role as a wife and a mother.

An apple, craving that is, for the Doctor equals the desire to be adored and never lonely. For Amy, an apple would reflect her wish to be free and see the world. The Doctor ends his run without Amy, his companion and fulfilment of his desire. What he has left is his ability to travel. Amy ends her run stuck in the past, unable to see the stars in a way she was shown possible. Alas, she is married and therefore isn't alone. For this she is crowned The Loving Wife. One could say the narrative implies this is what makes her worthy of being adored, a reason the Doctor lists while explaining why he chose Amy as a companion. Ultimately, both characters are left with the other's wish as though the story had a hard time telling them apart and therefore assigned them the other's ending on accident.

btw i do think jenny was fridged. makes me a little crazy sometimes when i see people going "her death was so sad, but it was still such a powerful moment and such good writing!" no it wasn't. it was not. i will give you "powerful moment" but the amount of retconning they had to pull in order to get jenny's death to have that resonance in the first place is something y'all should really be looking at more closely.

#miscellany #jenny calendar #like omg! her guilt complex over the family we invented in the eleventh hour inspired her to risk her life!!! #and now she's dead!!! this is good writing!!!! #i will engage with the shitty writing and make it a beautiful tapestry but don't ever think i endorse it <3

[maydayissleepy]

I love that everyone doing this meme with Acronix collectively agreed that he would be absolutely delighted to be getting arrested. Be gay do crime

For my au specifically I just KNOW Acronix would get arrested for stealing some expensive sports car- and proceeding to speed around ninjago city with it. He has one brain cell and it says go F A S T

Cyrus was with him on account that Acronix promised to return it if he came along for the ride (lie), and also got arrested when they were caught

#ninjago acronix #mayday's the eleventh hour #cyrus borg #yall beat me to it but i love them too much to not draw them as this meme too #this man is full of mischief . that is all #free bird was playing your honor #Acronix showing up with the car plays out exactly like that “Whatcha got there?” “A smoothie.” meme

[holdmecloser-gandydancer]

I gotta say I'm still not the biggest fan of this like. therapy speak paint job of taako in the graphic novels

#like. i dunno the whole thing in eleventh hour with him not even actually blaming himself for glamour springs just. #then whats the point? what is the point of that scene? youre taking his teeth and claws away #he is still such a guarded character and it just feels wildly Not Him #rip (reeses in pieces)

"I don't understand what's- what's up with the four of you," the Chalice said through June's mouth. Barry's memories, which has previously been flicking by at a quick pace, had cut into a long period of static. "First your friends, and now you. I just don't get it."

"Don't look at me," Barry said. "I understand this about as well as you do."

The memories abruptly cut back to normal, aside from the faint static buzz around some scenes. Barry saw his college graduation, his mother's funeral, and the space class he took in high school. They ran by birthdays, holidays, and Barry's unfortunate emo phase in seventh grade. They went so far back that they hit the earliest memory Barry could recall at all: Coming downstairs for a glass of water and catching his mother crying.

"Okay," June said. "Alright, let's see."

The memories shot forward in time again and Barry saw flickers of the only school dance he went through and his first girlfriend and the time he spent all of winter break in the library instead of with family. They hit the period of static again and June began to slow the memories down. Going at this much more mellow speed, a few moments of static revealed simple memories.

Barry, sitting at a round table with staticky figures around him, enjoying a meal.

Barry, holding his wand up defensively.

Barry, crying with a staticky someone rubbing his back.

Barry, playing the piano, laughing at a joke, writing in a notebook, holding someone's hand.

The memories slowed to a complete stop. The one that formed around them flared and flickered, the static covering almost the entire scene. He could make out a bed, and something that was maybe a desk shoved into the corner. Memory-Barry was sitting up in bed, reaching for his glasses. In the midst of static, someone was standing halfway between the bed and the door.

"This, uh, this is your worst memory," June said. "Well, no, actually, not exactly. You have a lot of bad memories, Barry, this is just the one you regret the most."

"I have no idea what's going on here," Barry said, honestly. When he tried to remember it, he couldn't. He had gotten up in the middle of the night for loads of reasons before, but none of them would qualify as worst memories. "Is it like, a memory loss thing? Because I know I'm- I'm getting up there but I'm not that old yet."

"It's not an age thing," June said. "Like I said, everyone else was like that too. You've just got-" she gestured vaguely to the scene as if that would help Barry understand it. Then she shook her head. "Ya know what? Nevermind. It doesn't really matter. Look, we've run through your memories and this is the one you feel worst about. Are you tellin' me you don't remember it?"

"I mean," Barry said, trying to recall anything. Maybe it was all the static in the room, but there was a headache growing behind his eyes. He shut them, thinking hard.

When he opened them again, the scene was still staticky, but individual parts of the room stood out more. There definitely was a desk in the corner, and a tall dresser nearby. There were crumbled-up papers over the floor and Barry could recognize his portable radio, which came into crystal clear view as he remembered it.

And the person between the bed and the door- the woman, who was still shroud in static, but had come more into focus like he had slightly adjusted a camera lens- she...

"She's leaving," Barry said. "And she doesn't come back."

"Oh," June said. She tilted her head at the scene and the headache worsened as he tried to hold onto it. "I'll give ya this, Barry, you're friends certainly couldn't clear up their minds like this. It makes my job a hell of a lot easier."

"Kinda gives me a headache," Barry said, blinking away the static that started to crop up at the edge of his vision.

"This'll be quick," June said, cracking her knuckles. "I'm getting the vibes now. I'm gonna offer you a deal, Barry, and I just want you to hear me out. This person- this woman here-" June walked towards the woman, circling around her. "I don't think you know her very well right now, but she was... important to you, Barry. Much more than you or I can understand right now.

"This is your worst memory," June said. "And you've seen a lot of bad things. But her leaving and never coming back has to be the worse. So what I wanna offer you, right now, Barry, is this: You take the chalice and you'll come back. Right back here to this moment, as she..." June paused and Barry feels a bit like the chalice is rooting around in his mind for something. "As she tells you to go back to bed. You'll wake up and you can make her stay."

There's an ache in Barry's chest, one that often doesn't show up unless he's having a panic attack. It's a burning kind of feeling that envelops his entire heart, leaving it raw. He didn't know why it was happening now, but he can't deny that the offer to go back is incredibly appealing in this moment.

"But," June said. "I can't lie to you. If you do this, you won't join the Bureau. You won't work with Magnus or Merle or Taako, you might not even meet them. You won't go out on missions or stop some other things from happening, and you definitely won't be coming here to Refuge. I understand that's a lot to ask of you, but..." she looked towards the woman again and Barry did too, unable to help himself. "She won't be gone. And I think, if your heart, Barry, you know which one you want more."

June sat on the bed and the static spread from under her, trying to consume the scene completely again. He pushed it back in his mind, squeezing his eyes shut for a second.

June didn't comment on it. And she didn't comment on the fact that when he opened his eyes, his gaze went right back to the woman. She came into view a bit better this time. She had on a robe of some kind and there was something hanging from her belt, most likely a weapon even if Barry couldn't conjure up the correct shape. And he tried, he tried focusing on her more, bringing her to the forefront of his mind, but all he gained was a headache and a feeling of dread in his gut. He couldn't remember her face. He didn't know who she was.

But he wanted to.

"Well," June said, after a few minutes of Barry trying and failing to visualize her. "I don't mean to rush ya, Barry, but this episode's only supposed to be an hour long and you're just standing here."

"Sorry," Barry said, shaking his head. The room slipped back into total static. The bed June was sitting on could no longer be distinguished between that and the floor. The woman blended back in, barely noticeable. June stood up, stretching, and said,

"Let's get you back to your friends."

And Barry... Barry made his choice.

My specific faceblind Doctor opinion is that Ten is almost certainly the first Doctor not to be faceblind and it's 100% because that's one of the ways his desperate desire to Be Like A Normal Human manifested in his regeneration. (Time Lords are naturally faceblind because when regeneration is a thing you evolve other go-to ways of perceiving people.)

Some of it stuck through into Eleven, but obviously the regen into Twelve swung hard back to Time Lord baseline (because Twelve didn't come into being with any desire to "pretend" to be anything). Twelve remembers perceiving faces the way most humans do. It just feels weird in hindsight.

#also i think amy is kinda faceblind i've just decided #adds another obstacle to her recognizing her raggedy doctor in eleventh hour #and i feel like her 'rory is the most beautiful person i've ever met' speech also checks out in that regard #dw
