idk if u ever wondered this but i wonder why whenever people talk abt au characters there’s like an exclamation point in the middle. like example yandere!sans like what was up with that
Reddit has the answer :D from this Reddit post (copy and pasted here for your convenience)
“"! = The Exclamation Mark or 'Bang' Symbol -- refers to a short form for expressing the presence of a particular trait or defining quality of a character in a story. One which is usually not part of the original canon characterization, or is at least an extreme interpretation of the canon characterization. Most often written in the format of trait first and character's name last, with the symbol in between. (For example: "Smart!Jack" in Stargate: SG-1, indicating that the character of Jack O'Neill is secretly smarter than he pretends to be.) The compact format of [trait]![character's name] manages to quickly and clearly describe to the reader an accurate depiction of the author's choice in characterization before they even read the story."
http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/moonbeam/terms.html
EDIT: found some more
"Fan Fic communities will often have tags specific to their fandoms that they use to describe tropes that occur with some regularity (Slytherin!Harry, Future!Hiro, or Vamp!Willow, for example). The title of a given Fan Fic 'verse, or an abbreviation thereof, can also be used to indicate the version of a character from that setting, particularly when there have been major changes to them: UF!Utena, SME!Jadeite. Because this kind of tagging is ad hoc and in no way formalized, it's common to see unusual and/or idiosyncratic tags that indicate some truly wild variants, such as Cyborg!Xander or Amberite!Xena. The practice is starting to seep out from fanfiction, though, and can also be used when talking about similar things in the source material, such as, for example, Future!Hiro, Vamp!Willow, or Brainwashed!Undead!Starscream (Energon!Starscream for short). It's also used in a more tongue-in-cheek manner to categorize examples of the Mary Sue in a quick, concise form. It can also be used to identify a specific version of a character or work when it had been done by different people and/or in different media since those can vary wildly from the source material. Sometimes this uses the name of the specific author or simply the form of the work (Manga!Pride, Anime!Greed, Leroux!Erik, or Movie!Phantom) These tags are also occasionally used when dealing with customizable characters in computer games. In addition, tags like this are used in spreadsheet programs to denote what sheet the cell in question is on if it's not on the same sheet as the cell you're typing in. Bang paths were used in early e-mail to specify a UUCP route to a given user, and they're still part of the return path in Usenet"
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CharacterizationTags
EDIT AGAIN: Found even more. There seem to be conflicted views on the origins of this, but this one at least explicitly addresses them:
"Origins The adj!noun format is purported to have started in X-Files fandom. Good examples for this are Wombat's Spotter's Guide to the Common Krycek and the accompanying Spotter's Guide to the Common Mulder where several Krycek sub-species such as Bad to the Bone!Krycek, Bad but Lovin'!Krycek, Hot'n'dirty!Krycek or Misunderstood!Krycek and Mulder sub-subspecies such as Angst!Mulder, Basketcase!Mulder, HappySlut!Mulder, Sensitive!Mulder and WellAdjusted!Mulder are described. The first usage was Action!Mulder, referring to canon scenes where Mulder suddenly went all actiony (instead of talky), followed by Saint!Scully. Eventually they lost the initial capitals and the canon connections; by the time it hit other fandoms, it was being used to describe fannish things.[1] Some believe that the use of the exclamation mark came originally from coding, particularly javascript, where it has the meaning of "not". Thus, Saint!Scully would essentially mean, a characterization (in fanworks) of Scully as a saint which diverges from who Scully really is in the show. This possible origin remains obscure, though, and this belief about the bang appears nowadays quite rare."
http://fanlore.org/wiki/!
FINAL EDIT:
Thanks this was actually an interesting little side-trip into something I didn't previously know about.”
Also this:
“Thank you so much! This was exactly what I was after. :)
EDIT: I just found this additional explanation from a Tumblr post, makes sense!
It’s originally from C/C++ code. If you have a boolean variable that’s true or false and you put a ! in front of it, it just flips the value. If the variable is X and X is true, then !X is false. So it’s basically saying the character is the variable, ! activates a different version of the variable, and the identifier at the front tells you what version of the variable it is.”
I had wondered if it had something to do with programming, I’ve worked with C++ and javascript in the past 🤔 thanks for sending me down that rabbit hole anon!!

BH6 Snippets--2/28/2022
Eyyy we made it!  Got to 102 pages on the time-travelling Obake AU, we made the goal! :D
So to celebrate, have a bit from Fred’s Bro-Tillion:
“So this is fun,” Hiro said when Obake retreated back to the kitchen for a refill, picking up a tray as well.  “And weird—I was honestly with Tadashi I thought Fred was like a beach bum.”
“He does give that impression,” Obake agreed.
“And you enjoying the weirder parts.”
That being Binky Mole showing up anyway because, as Mrs. Fredrickson explained to both himself and to Fred, “Not inviting her just singles her out and lets her know she’s being needling, there’s no point in giving her that leverage.”  Obake was fine with it, if only because it put her on Fredrickson turf and on the back foot; it had been fun watching her try to be the dour one only to be told flat-out by Gogo “You know if you’re not having fun you can just leave.”
Mostly because it had the added bonus of Binky trying to report this to Mrs. Fredrickson in an attempt to drive a knife in, only for Mrs. Fredrickson to draw herself up, fill herself with indignation, and let her have it with both barrels in front of everyone.
“The wait staff, as you call them, are my son’s friends who so graciously volunteered their time to help,” she said, tone carrying.  “If you can’t show them some decorum then you aren’t invited to my parties anymore.”
Obake was very glad he was recording everything, because he went down laughing so hard that he missed Binky stalking off in a huff.  Still had to snicker at that though.
“Like that, exactly like that,” Hiro said as they went back out.  “I mean it’s weird thinking that a version of you’re not invited to my birthday party anymore exists in the adult world, but okay.”
“You’ll notice she didn’t have a comeback for that,” Obake pointed out.
“True…also I still have questions about your drone army.”
Obake looked up as well to see one cruise by.  “Mrs. Fredrickson wanted assurances as far as security was concerned, I wanted to make sure she had that.”
“Yeah, stayed up all night working on it and everything.  You share Gogo’s opinion on Fred what’s with all the extra miles?  I thought you didn’t like Fred.”
“I’m ambivalent to Fred’s existence usually.  But this needed to be done.”
“Why though?”
Unfortunately, the answer to that question tunneled out of the upwards slope.
“Ah,” he groaned, sagging as people scampered away.  “So that was always doomed to happen.”
“Do what?” Hiro asked blankly, more floored than anything by the giant drill opening in front of them and a ton of steam billowing down the hill.
“Tremble in fear, San Fransokyo!” the old cyborg bellowed, posing dramatically as he stomped down the ramp.  “Tis I, Baron Von Steamer, detested nemesis of Boss Awesome!”
“I wonder if he has that on the business cards,” Obake snarked at Hiro—blinked when the man held out the item in question.
“I do,” he confirmed, before going back to the dramatic posing.  
Obake still thinks Steamer is stupid but wasn’t expecting the business cards.  And Mrs. Fredrickson’s advice and reaction to Binky is the sort of thing Mom taught me. XD

Going back at reading the manga and the webcomic made me realized this Batarou parallel:
Both Garou and Badd had horrible experience as a prisoner. One was imprisoned by Monster Association after being tortured by the MA members, whereas the other was imprisoned by Neo Heroes after being sedated for days by the cyborg guards.
Both of them were chained up and also at the end they released themself to escape the place by breaking the chains so easily. Although one was going berserk in unconscious state while the other was calmly and in full-consciousness.
This got me thinking: Why not a headcanon for prisoner villain Batarou AU? 😳✨
—————————-
So in this AU, both of them are considered criminals by people, but in truth it was wrong.
Badd was a former S-Class hero who decided to become a lone vigilante after seeing how corrupt the “Hero System” and the society around him. He was captured by his former employer and sent him into the prison to keep him from spilling out their secrets to the public. Badd still holding the grudge to the Hero Association of being treated worst during his time as hero and as vigilante.
Garou was an underdog outcast who tried to make a point that the “Hero System” is cruel and corrupted. He was successfully ruined the whole Hero Association into crumbling mess in the public eyes, but finally was defeated and captured by the S-Class heroes. Basically like canon Garou but more hardcore on being a villain.
So, Garou and Badd become prisonmates, since their cells location were side-by-side. Sometimes they tried to make a conversation, sharing their past or experiences, or their beliefs regarding the unfairly “Hero System” that caused them imprisoned. Thus, their bonding resulted in some kind of friendship during the time.
Garou likes Badd alot because he shared the same sentiment with him and have admirable courage to fight against his former “friends”. And from what Badd has telling him, Garou wanted to witness Badd’s legendary Fighting Spirit by his own eyes. Badd likes Garou alot because despite the extreme way of his villain vision, Garou has many good points about the flaws of heroes, that they were wrong about the so-called “Absolute Justice”. Besides, Badd really wanted to see Garou’s monster side.
One day before their execution day, after going through cruel punishments and tortures, Garou and Badd managed to escape together from the prison.
Garou was going berserk suddenly after being triggered by the exhausting physical tortures. Still in half-awakening monster form, he destroyed the cell and breaking through it with tremendous strength, which accidentally also destroyed Badd’s cell, too. Badd also capable to release himself from the restraining chain easily at that time, thus decided to follow Garou towards the exit.
Imagine Garou destroyed the whole prison building, going through the walls Kool-Aid style like he did in the manga. And Badd calmly following Garou from behind, ignoring the whole chaos that Garou had caused.
As soon as he reached the outside of destroyed building, Garou finally has fully transformed into his monster form, mesmerized Badd in the process with such an amazing sight. He took the chance to escape by climbing onto Garou’s monster body and riding on his back/shoulder/head. That’s when both of them running away together from being recaptured by the heroes.
After successfully fled to their newly hideout, Garou and Badd agreed to be villain partners from that day on. Imagine them being kickass villain duo, fighting side-by-side against the heroes.
Somewhere along the way, they started to develop new feelings beyond friendship and partnership. Born from the protectiveness, genuine cares for eachother well-being on their survival, being attracted for eachother, longing for some companionship to take away their loneliness after so many years being alone (Garou) / far from the family (Badd), etc.
But the most prominent feeling was Love. A happiness after finding someone who could understand them without being judged, accepted them for what they are wholeheartedly despite people said they were on “wrong side” since they were both outcasts. Having someone who willing to give affection and comfort, unconditionally.
So one night after treating eachother’s battle wounds, Garou and Badd confessed their romantic feelings. Thus officiated their new relationship as lovers.
From outside, they looked like merciless villains. But when nobody is watching, they’re actually very gentle human beings who never hurt innocent people. They often treating eachother with so much care and tenderness. Always have eachother’s back in protectiveness.
People wont admit it, but everytime they watched or witnessing how they fight against the heroes, they would say Garou and Badd are “the Strongest Power Couple in Battlefield”. Knowing how perfect their coordinated attacks and teamwork, also how soft Garou and Badd were looking at eachother in secret footage, people couldn’t help but secretly rooted for them. Some even emphatized them, wishing them have the best life wherever they are.
For sure, Garou and Badd completed eachother’s life. They didn’t mind living like villains, the bad guys, for the rest of their life. As long as they have eachother, then it’s okay..
————————–
And that’s all I have for Prisoner Villains Batarou AU! I was thinking no matter what universe they’re in, they will still found and loving eachother dearly. Their love is so big it overcomes their life obstacles! 😤👍💖
Btw I’m so sorry if everything I come up with looks like nonsense blabbering aaaa forgive me and uncreative mind– 😭🙇💦 I hope you guys don’t mind of untalented me :“”)
Huge thanks always for: @hiro-gari​, @the-goddessfighter​, @kaincuro​, @guby1620​, @garous-nipple​, @jusqu-une-etudiante​, and @lovelybutnot-ablankcanvas​, also ofc all of Batarou shippers in the fandom! 😉👍💞💖💝🌸🌼🌻🌷💐
Always wish you all the best, guys~ 😘💕💓

~Lilia:
Ooooo damn, the HA/Neo Heroes are gonna be regretting making enemies of them big time 👏 I really like the vigilante idea for the two of them, they’re bringing the system down AND giving monsters hell.
ALSO I’m dyinggg they’re like “execution?? not today” 😤 just *bulldozes the fuck out*

Liste: Die 15 besten Musikvideos 2020
Mit den Musikvideos des Jahres hat es nur am Rande zu tun, aber ich habe 2020 viel MTV gesehen - "Pimp My Ride" Wiederholungen, das von Online-Casino-Werbung durchzogene Tagesprogramm, die mal mehr, mal weniger kruden Specials an den Wochenenden, auch die Phase, in der sich MTV fast in eine endlose 90s-Nostalgie-Maschine verwandelt hätte, und während all dessen habe ich gehofft, dass irgendwo noch ein paar andere Leute zuschauen. Denn der Ort, an dem das Musikvideo nicht nur als Teil des Marketing vollkommen neue Dimensionen angenommen hat, sondern mittlerweile auch ganz direkt Geld abwirft und damit zuhause ist, ist freilich das Internet, und dort habe auch ich einen Großteil der besten Musikvideos des Jahres entdeckt. Manche dieser Videos wären außerhalb des Internets ästhetisch kaum denkbar, und doch umgibt die Momente, in denen die Retroversion der Strokes plötzlich in dubiosen Alternative-Sendestrecken auftaucht oder eine grelle Lady-Gaga-Vision durch eine Chartshow flackert, eine Magie, die nur in der Linearität zu haben ist. Fernab von Fragen der Distribution, aber mit Blick auf die Geschichte des Formats und die folgende Liste lässt sich in jedem Fall festhalten, dass die besten Clips des Jahrgangs 2020 in der Tradition klassischer Musikvideotugenden stehen: Große Geschichten braucht es nicht, entscheidend ist das Spiel mit dem Song, das gute Auge, die richtige Pose, das passende Tempo und eine wirre Prämisse, die für drei, vier Minuten überzeugt.
Billie Eilish/Therefore I Am
Eine bessere Platzierung könnte auf dieses Intro kaum folgen: Eilishs Sturm auf eine pandemiebedingt unbesetzte Mall war trotz der kruden Kameraführung klares MTV-Material, der desinteressiert-selbstsichere Song zudem die passende Bühne, um die Musikerin genüsslich durch die Leere schreitend, eilend und snackend zu inszenieren. Zwischen müdem Bond-Song und trister Zukunfstvision auf jeden Fall der krönende Eilish-Moment 2020.
Charli XCX/Claws
“Claws” ist nicht das einzige Green-Screen-Lockdown-Musikvideo, aber es passt ganz hervorragend zur Charli-XCX-Lockdown-Platte und ist obendrein einfach sehr schön, auch, weil das Konzept zwischenzeitlich ausfransen darf. Klar sehen wir Charli in digitaler Umgebung, umzingelt von Wasserzeichen, als Avatar und vor dicht bevölkterten Zebrastreifen, sie saust aber eben auch mit einem Roller die Straße lang, führt den Green Screen an seine Grenzen und als es am Ende dann endlich zur Einlösung des Verlangens kommt, bricht einfach alles zusammen. Klassische Dramaturgie, die auch hier hinhaut.
Eminem/Godzilla
Eminem wird es vermutlich nie lernen (auch weil dieses ‘es’ mit den ins Land ziehenden Jahren der Kritik immer undefinierter wird), aber er gibt sich Mühe. Viele haben den Rapper längst verworfen, “Music To Be Murdered By” umweht dennoch eine gewisse Versöhnlichkeit, auch jenen Rap-Status-Quo betreffend, gegen den Eminem ja lange diffus geschossen hat. “Godzilla” fängt diese Haltung trotz Quadrupple-Time-Part am Ende nicht nur mit einem Juice-Wrld-Feature ein, sondern vor allem mittels einer Cole-Bennett-Videoproduktion. Die hält mit Eminems lyrischer Bilddichte Schritt, fängt die Ästhetik der Musik in surreal-schlechtem CGI hervorragend ein und aktualisiert zugleich den Wahnwitz, den Eminemvideos vor mehr als einer Dekade regelmäßig lieferten. Bei aller Versöhnlichtkeit wünscht man sich am Ende heimlich, Eminem hätte doch noch ein klangliches Äquivalent zu diesen Bildern auf Lager.
FKA Twigs/Sad Day
"Sad Day" war 2019 ein früher Höhepunkt auf "Magdalene", umso schöner, dass Hiro Murai den Song ein Jahr später einfach auflösen darf, um aus dessen vager Stimmung einen Wachtraum zu beschwören, in dem eine mögliche Trennung erst zu einem Tiger-and-Dragon-artigen Duell und schließlich einer tatsächlichen Trennung des eigenen Körpers führt. Es ist eine Pointe, die man gesehen haben muss, eben weill die Ästhetik des Abdriftens so sehr überzeugt in diesem vom Song gelösten Kurzfilm, der den Charakter des Quellmaterials doch nie hintergeht.
Fontaines D.C./A Hero's Death
Stets ein guter Musikvideokniff: Andeuten, nicht erzählen. “A Hero’s Death” spielt diese Tugend gnadenlos aus, mit GOTs Petyr Baelish als Late-Night-Host, dessen Begegnung mit Fontaines D.C. in Dauerschleife liegt und dort zunehmend alptraumhafter wird. Plastische Effekte, diffuse Nostalgie, ein Hauch Lynch, ein wenig Bergmann, mehr braucht es nicht, um dem tristen Post-Punk grauselig-nihilistische Bilder zur Seite zu stellen.
Ariana Grande/Positions
Frei von Rätseln ist das Video zu “Positions” nicht, gerade weil die Idee, einfach Ariana Grande zur ersten Präsidentin der USA zu machen, mit Hundeporträt, diversem Stab und großartigen Looks, so direkt einleuchtet. Wieso die geswitchten “Positions” dann neben Szenen zu Bett auch Negligee-Puderzucker-Eskapaden an der Kochzeile beinhalten müssen, erschließt sich nicht direkt, aber nun - wer Pop liebt, muss eben auch an die Existenz des Richtigen im Falschen glauben.
Joji/Gimme Love
Jojs “Gimme Love” zerfällt musikalisch in zwei Hälften, das Video nimmt diese Vorlage dankbar auf: Zuerst sieht man in schnell geschnittenen Szenenwechseln seinen Aufstieg innerhalb einer Technologiefirma, es wird geschrien, gefeiert, zwischendrin passiert der Alltag, irgendwann fließt Blut, und dann, als der Song in einen fließenden Zustand wechselt, sperrt Joji seine Kolleg:innen aus, rennt alleine zu einem Spaceshuttle und macht sich auf den Weg in die Unendlichkeit. Ob dies nun Flucht, Selbstmord, Opfer oder Selbstsucht ist, geht im Tempo dieser Erzählung verloren - dennoch ist da eine, vielleicht sogar viele in dieser schwindlig machenden Schichtung von Bildern.
Lady Gaga/911
“Artpop” ist nicht nicht als Zäsur in Lady Gagas Karriere zu begreifen, denn der verhältnismäßig mangelnde Erfolg des Albums läutete das Ende des rastlosen Hit-Skandal-Videospektakel-Laufs ein, das wiederum zu einer Suche nach nachhaltigeren Modellen der Transformation führte. Rollen wurden angenommen, Zusammenbrüche dokumentiert, Karrierekronen aufgesetzt und Para-Country-Balladen aufgenommen, und so sehr all das seine Richtigkeit hatte, tut es doch gut, Lady Gaga im “Chromatica”-Zyklus nicht nur nah an House, Disco und Pop, sondern auch in wirren und zunehmend hervorragenden Musikvideos sehen zu dürfen. Nach dem angemessen depperten Neon-iPhone-Mad-Max Stampfen in “Stupid Love” und der lila-schwarzen CGI-Cyborg-Märchen-Megacity-Vision “Rain On Me” war es nämlich Tarsem Singhs diffuser Pop-Surrealismus, der “911″ zum visuellen Gaga-Höhepunkt machte. Gerade weil es so wenig zu verstehen gibt, gibt es so viel zu sehen.
Dua Lipa/Break My Heart
Eine ähnlich gute, wenn auch etwas konstantere Musikvideo-Ausbeute bietet Dua Lipas “Future Nostalgia” - meist sind es kleine Ideen, aus denen hier mit Schmiss und inszenatorischem Geschick viel Energie gewonnen wird. “Break My Heart” hat dabei die Nase allein schon wegen des tollen Stolperns von Szene zu Szene vorne, hilfreich sind allerdings auch der Signature-Tanz und die besonders liebevolle Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Szenenbilder.
Phoebe Bridgers/I Know The End
Und wo wir sowieso gerade dabei sind: Auch Phoebe Bridgers hatte ein visuell produktives Jahr, das mit “I Know The End” ein fraglos bestes Musikvideo des Jahres abwarf. Schon groß ist das Herumschleichen, bevor Bridgers ins Stadion geht. Dort wird es dann aber überlebensgroß, trotz Mindestabstand. Wie das Pauken-und-Trompeten-Finale das Album beflügelt, so ist es auch hier die wuchtige Performance in dunkler Kulisse, die, spätestens als Bridgers zu ihrem alten Alter Ego schreitet, die Intensität auf die Spitze treibt.
Poppy/Bloodmoney
Über Poppy wird in den folgenden Listen noch zu reden sein, nicht verkehrt scheint es mir aber, sich der Sache übers Audiovisuelle zu nähern, denn da hat Poppy ja wiederum ihren Ursprung als YouTube-Phänomen. Die Transformation von der unheimlichen, maschinenartigen Internetbrut hin zum tödlichen Nu-Metal-Starlet war nicht absehbar, überzeugt aber mit einer gewissen Konsequenz und schlägt sich freilich auch in der Optik nieder. Dort macht Poppy niemand etwas vor, etwa wenn sie sich in “Bloodmoney” durch eine nicht näher definierte Gegnerschaft prügelt, um am Ende in neonfarbener, christlicher Ikonografie aufzugehen. Gute Bilder hatte sie auch für ihren Partner Ghostemane übrig, am gefiel am Ende ihr eigenes, unerbittliches Geknüppel aber noch ein wenig besser.
Rico Nasty/Own It
Seit zwei Jahren lässt sich nun schon beobachten, wie Rico Nasty sich Schicht für Schicht häutet und immer gerade dann, wenn man sie verortet haben will, doch wieder abbiegt. 2020 ging es nach einem chronisch unterschätzten Boyz-Noize-Feature zwar schon zunehmend in Richtung Pop-Stardom, allerdings nicht, ohne sich die nötige eklektische, aber stets überzeugende visuelle Identiät stets zu bewahren. Zwischen Straßenkämpfen und iPhone-Geburt war das schlichte Bilderfest “Own It” am schönsten, mit saftiger Hook, schlagendem Beat und eben hervorragenden Outfits, Posen und Setpieces.
Rosalía & Travis Scott/TKN
In die Feinheiten der Geschichte um Waffengewalt und tote Kinder muss man gar nicht zwingend eintauchen, um von den Bildern dieses Musikvideos überzeugt zu werden. In schummriger L.A.-Atmosphäre scharen Rosalía und Travis Scott Kinder um sich, es wird in Designerklamotten gefeiert, und doch umweht alles einen Hauch von Verderben. Wo Scott eher stoisch als Ikone in der Mitte steht, da bringt Rosalía mal wieder eine Energie in diese sinistre Kinderschar, das man selbst gerne diesem morbiden Club beiträte.
Rina Sawayama/XS
Jedes Musikvideo zu Rina Sawayamas vielbeachtetem und fast selbstbetiteltem Album hatte gute Ideen, doch der Clip zu “XS”, einer formvollendeten Nu-Metal-Jahrtausendwende-Pop-Konfrontation, führte seine am konsequentesten zu Ende. Eine Homeshopping-Parodie bietet da nur die Rampe für Tanzeinlagen, die die Situation vom Blödeligen ins Gruselige kippen lassen, wo dann wiederum Body Horror, Robotik und kritische Töne zu Sucht und Rassismus lauern. Alles Aspekte überzeugen, auch ästhetisch, und liegen passgenau zwischen Kritik und Unterhaltung.
The Strokes/Bad Decisions
Fast zu kalkuliert wirkt nun meinerseits, wie gut “Bad Decisions” zwischen dem Bild des Stars als Maschine und nostalgischem Homeshopping-Setting an die vorherige Platzierung anknüpft, aber eigentlich könnten die Plätze unterschiedlicher kaum sein. Für die Strokes geht es mal wieder in ein altes Amerika und von Energie ist dabei nicht viel zu spüren. Viel eher präsentiert sich die Band, den Wünschen ihres Publikums wohl nicht ungemäß, als zusammenpuzzlebare Boyband, die nicht nur Spaß für die ganze Familie birgt, sondern sich nun auch endlich mal verhält, wie alle das wollen. Kräfte gibt es da nicht anzuzapfen, das macht ja auch schon der Song klar, der eine alte Billy-Idol-Hook nochmal mäßig motiviert aufträgt, und freilich ist genau das die Ästhetik, mit der die dutzendfach ausgezählten Strokes 2020 überzeugen konnten. Chronistenpflicht: Am Ende kollabiert auch hier alles. Ein guter Gag für das Setting, die Realität der Band sieht hoffentlich anders aus.

Do they have the potential to be ANTAGONISTIC? Certainly. Especially with their CONFLICTING OPINIONS on machines: ( Hiro believing that robots are ALIVE and deserve to be saved, Yozora wanting to DESTROY them ALL )… though ultimately, Yozora could never TRULY make an enemy out of Hiro: especially when Hiro ends up in DANGER ( Exhibit A: Hiro’s cyborg AU uwu )

Hyperallergic: The Timeless Blackness of Balenciaga’s Dresses
Hiro, “Alberta Tiburzi in ‘envelope’ dress by Cristóbal Balenciaga” (1967) for Harper’s Bazaar, June 1967 (© Hiro 1967, courtesy of Victoria and Albert Museum, London)
PARIS — I do not share the unbridled passion for haute couture fashion that some do, but I have gotten excited by certain arty creators like Rei Kawakubo, Alexander McQueen, and early Viktor & Rolf. Now, after seeing the exquisite Balenciaga, l’œuvre au noir show at the Musée Bourdelle, I place at the top of my short list their predecessor: Spanish-Basque couturier Cristóbal Balenciaga’s all-black oeuvre. Balenciaga’s creations, as curated by Véronique Belloir of the Palais Galliera, definitely roused and satisfied me the way the black darkness of Baroque painting does.
Balenciaga’s dark constructions do not appear the least bit dated, perhaps because black is the darkest value of all colors, and not a primary, secondary, or tertiary color — it isn’t even on the artist’s color wheel. As such, black suggests something of the raw energetic formlessness of the black hole or void, and so has something transcendent and timeless about it. That is why black has become a cultural signifier within noise black metal theory and transcendental black metal music. Black is associated with mourning and lunacy (as with Francisco Goya’s Pinturas negras series), power (consider judges’ and priests’ robes or, worse, Mussolini’s Fascist militia the “Blackshirts”), and sophistication (think tuxedos and limousines), but also with what is sharply cerebral and intellectual.

Balenciaga (1895–1972) matched that idea of the vivid intellect with his extraordinarily skill as a tailor, innovating the barrel line (1947), the balloon (1950), the semi-fitted suit (1951) — as seen here with “Tailleur” (1952–53) — the tunic dress (1955), and the sack dress (1957). Of course, Coco Chanel is credited for turning black into an essential for the modern woman’s wardrobe in the mid-1920s with her jersey black dress, which conveyed ideals of egalitarianism, efficiency, and modern industrial splendor. But Balenciaga’s idea to focus solely on the color black was brilliant. Shape, volume, and construction are highlighted, as all black reduces body shapes to solid, flat silhouettes. Some painters have learned this from Édouard Manet’s great oil painting “Berthe Morisot au bouquet de violettes” (“Berthe Morisot with a Bouquet of Violets,” 1872) at the Musée d’Orsay.
To accomplish that flattening reduction, Balenciaga would produce a ‘canvas’ that he would manipulate and adjust until he had worked out a perfect version of his drawing. These exceptionally black canvases, generally created in ecru cotton, were cut in light, dry percale or in heavier twill, or sometimes in tarlatan, depending on the model. Full bias or straight along the weft, each section was marked up with notes and crossed with lines whose positions, directions, and overlapping points defined the structure and the construction of the garment.

That is rather technically astute, but emotionally there is something insightful and inordinate here, too. In the late Middle Ages, black denoted humbleness as adopted by the Black Monks, the Benedictines. In that sense, Balenciaga’s monastic black pieces feel solemn and modest when displayed alongside Antoine Bourdelle’s flamboyant and almost hysterical plaster casts. To open the show, scenographer Olivier Saillard made the most of this dissimilarity in the museum’s Grand Hall by poling some slim dresses up high, bringing to mind the tall and skinny black sculptures of Alberto Giacometti. In other rooms, as counter-points to Bourdelle’s sculptures, Saillard also hid some delicate dresses in big black boxes behind black curtains, which viewers pull back.
Balenciaga, who opened his Paris couture house in 1937, was formally trained in tailoring, and it shows in the beautiful structuring of his silhouettes. Seeing his pure, stark, structured shapes in a sculpture museum makes sound sense. However, I imagine they would be better situated in Brancusi’s Studio in front of the Centre Pompidou, as Constantin Brâncuși’s reductive configurations are much closer to Balenciaga’s lyrical but unembellished, inky shapes than Bourdelle’s sculpture. Still, all couture and all sculpture have similar objectives concerning the balance of three-dimensional proportions.

Besides concerns with proportion, there’s a mysterious, indefinable quality here that lends spiritual underpinnings to Balenciaga’s bold black forms. Some even had me thinking of orchestra musicians, who wear all-black so as be invisible, and I think that mysterious quality is part of why Balenciaga is regarded as one of the most influential haute couturiers of the 20th century. He saw and used black as vibrant matter: by turns opaque or transparent, matte or shiny.

His material interest in black is particularly evident with his lace pieces like “Vest and Robe” (1965–66) or “Cocktail Dress” (1967), the latter of which is embroidered with plastic sequins and glass beads. They both present dazzling interplays of dark light on ‘dark matter.’ Other dresses with more solidly built silhouettes, such as the gazar “Evening Dress” (1963) — my favorite due to its remarkable sensitivity  — owe as much to the luxurious quality of the fabrics as to the cut. Gazar was developed by the Swiss textile firm Alexander in collaboration with Balenciaga, who featured silk gazar in his collections between 1960 and 1968. Though I could  circle this poetic dress in the museum, it was also wonderful to see its recto/verso differences as depicted in the accompanying “Evening Dress 1963 drawings from the Summer collection” (1963). The radically asymmetrical cut of the waist had me thinking of the way female flamenco dancers pull up their dresses in the front and also of the matador’s capote (cape) work in the opening section of the corrida.

Other documents and photos from private collections and the archives of Maison Balenciaga accompany the exhibition’s 60 or so finished day suits, jackets, and evening cocktail dresses, some lined with silk taffeta, edged with fringes, and decorated with satin ribbons and sequins. All these pieces are very beautiful, but my preference tilted towards the almost abstract constructions from the winter 1967 collection, as they are pretty far out in a post-human mode. For the head, there are beautiful black hat constructions, such as the floppy, masculine, Basque beret-influenced “Chapeau” (1962) and the elegant, dainty, satin “Calotte” (1960).

As we see with the drawings and photographs of “Evening Gown, Winter 1967 Collection” (1967), in the late 1960s Balenciaga’s experiments with structure, line, and proportion led him toward a reconstruction of traditional female curves into ever more geometrical and abstract forms — an aesthetic not all that far from the unconventional cyborg costumes of Oskar Schlemmer. The garments’ audacious shapes became more than wrappers, growing to be almost independent of the female bodies they cloaked. With such abstract audaciousness, one grasps why Balenciaga’s sculptural aesthetic — achieved through his perfection of pattern cuts, his explorations of volume, and his attention to detail — was revered by his contemporaries Chanel and Hubert de Givenchy. Audacity, skill, and adventure came together in something like artistic black magic.

Balenciaga, l’œuvre au noir continues through July 16 at the Musée Bourdelle (18 rue Antoine Bourdelle, 15th arrondissement, Paris). Balenciaga will also be the subject of the retrospective Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion, which opens on May 27 at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

Can you tell me some interesting details about the Cyborg Hiro AU?
ok SO it's technically post-CtC, though the rest of Big Hero 6 managed to figure out how to stop the star so now Obake's back at square one- though now he's got Hiro's help (however unwilling Hiro is) so it's not gonna take as long.
Hiro is mainly a cyborg because Obake sicced Axea on him and she ended up mangling the poor guy. She brings him back with a bunch of severed limbs and one of his hands iced in a Sailor Moon lunchbox so she can reattach it.
Hiro's cyborg body was actually a collaborative effort between Axea and Obake. Obake was the one who made the actual parts and such, Axea was the one responsible for making sure they connected to Hiro's nerves correctly so he could actually move and all that.
Baymax is still there, though with the Obake chip still in him he's more of something that can observe Hiro while he's recovering should Axea need to leave. Especially since for the first two weeks or so Hiro's on more painkillers than he ever will be in his life because getting your limbs removed and your organs shredded and then getting a new cyborg body is NOT fun pain-wise. It's also the main reason why he's not allowed to leave Axea's homemade ICU that looks like a magical girl anime vomited all over it.
I like to think that he ends up converting to the villain side later on because "hey yknow what this isn't too bad these people are actually kind of cool"
Also Axea constantly makes Hiro hang out with her and he thinks it's annoying at first but he eventually warms up to this deranged gremlin with a knife collection.

This is a collection of my older ideas, but can be a sorta mini-headcanon sequel of Prisoner Villain Batarou AU:
I had a thought that villain Badd would wears black combat boots when he was fighting. Of course villain Garou likes his lover’s choice of style, but he was curious for the reason behind that. Was it to make him looks cooler? Badd answered, “Nah, I just love to be more TALLER”. Lmao!
But seriously, imagine how intimidating his heavy ‘tap tap tap’ sounds from the boots sole when Badd was slowly approaching his enemies with killing intention. Or kicking them with those boots, stomp on their body or head while Badd giving them interogation talk. Garou would just watching him with very amused grin on his face, and thinking Badd is kinda sexy like that.
I’d also love to imagine villain Badd has two extra survival skill beside using metal bat weapon:
One: Badd could do intricate knife trick like the one that Winter Soldier did in the movie. It helped him concentrated, or relaxing his mind by flipping the knife with his hand. Sometimes it mesmerize villain Garou whenever he sees his boyfriend doing the knife trick, he would never hesitated to shouting “Do it again! Do it again babe!” even when they’re both still in the middle of a fight against their enemies.
Two: If Badd would ever try to fight weaponless, he would do freestyle kickboxing since it could improve Badd’s flexibility during a fight and also great for body workout practice. Garou was the one who taught him after found out the most suitable boxing style for Badd. He just wanted Badd to be able protecting himself if someone ever disarming all of his weapons in the middle of fight since their situation is much more harsher now. Consider Badd doing awesome kickboxing actions against the enemies in the battlefield or towards Garou whenever they’re sparring.
———————
Btw, this is what I think Badd’s combat boots be like: https://poshmark.com/listing/NWT-OBSIDIAN-POCKET-COMBAT-BOOTS-size-8-5e530cdad4000845cf44e267
Something like that but with additional straps. Imagine if he strapped his knives on his combat boots.. 👀💖✨
———————-
And that’s what I can add as mini headcanon for Prisoner Villain Batarou AU! I know these are just recycled ideas with very little polishing, but I still wanna share them again anyways as a compilation because I just love the darker vibes of Villain Batarou as Badass Power Couple™ 😈👿✨😳
Always giving many thanks for: @hiro-gari, @the-goddessfighter, @kaincuro, @guby1620, @garous-nipple, @jusqu-une-etudiante, and @lovelybutnot-ablankcanvas, also ofc all of Batarou shippers in the fandom! 😚🙏💓💕💖💝🌸🌼🌻🌷💐
I hope you enjoyed this headcanon! Once again Thank You so much for reading this, have nice days, guys~ 😎✨

~Lilia:
Oh my goddd YES I love this idea for a style for Badd! Oml they’d be fighting monsters together and Garou be like “excuse me ur blocking my view I’m tryna look at my badass boyfriend” 😡 He’d be so proud of him especially if he sees him using some of the moves he taught him ahdjfksks 😩
For REAL though, we know Badd’s deadly with his bat but imagine if it got taken from him like those cyborg d*cks in the webcomic did 🤬 and he just switches to Combat Style and wipes the FLOOR with them while looking like a post-apocalyptic badass in his boots 😤👏 Yes please~
This is EXCELLENT 👌 Thank you so much!!

okay LISTEN and you know this from how much I tell you jfhjhgjf but I am totally in love with Hiro and Yozora’s BROTHERLY dynamic djhfjhgjg. With Hiro being so far away from HOME, and obviously with Tadashi no longer being in his LIFE, Yozora has somewhat haphazardly filled that void. Even without the aim of completely REPLACING his family. 
I am totally WEAK for the angst we throw at each other ( Hiro turning into the cyborg is the absolute worst and I’m still crying over this ), but I also live for their SOFT moments?? Yozora certainly doesn’t welcome Hiro being a LIL SHIT, but I absolutely LIVE for it lmfao djhfjg. The genuine sibling dynamic :’) dhjdhfjdh. 
Yozora can world travel with his CROSSBOW, so we definitely need an AU (or even a happy ending to their main verse) where Yozora manages to ESCAPE Replica Earth and takes Hiro with him, and they find a way BACK to San Fransokyo ;A;
