-hands you my Love listener and also all my actual love ily booboo-

One. They have been called Love and/or Asset and will name themselves Ariel.

Two. Unfortunately, we already know all there is to their backstory 😭

Three. They’ve played around with the idea of lots of aesthetics and have settled on a sort of pastel, casual look with academia elements.

Four. They’re gender-fluid, so they switch from male, femme, and androgynous presenting on a whim.

Five. (Now that I’m really reading these questions, I’m so sorry for sending you an Android 😂) Marcus is an anime nerd in the worst way, so Ariel was deffo made with East-Asian features.

Six. They were made to look in their early twenties.

Seven. Slender and androgynous.

Eight. A Scorpio, though I’m not confident about that answer, I’ll admit.

Nine. Anton, who is the only person they feel likes them, and James, who is the only person who they feel respects them.

Ten. They’re still discovering hobbies and interests but so far, they’re enjoying listening to music and learning piano.

Eleven. Hmm, I think it’d be interesting if it was Psyche, Greek Goddess of the Soul, since it could be argued whether they have one.

Twelve. RedactedAudio 💕

Thirteen. Ariel is a sex-neutral/averse ace, so when they do sex without the obsession-code, it’s done with curiosity and the partner’s pleasure as the main priority.

Fourteen. Hmmm… that’s a new question for me. I think they actually don’t know yet.

Fifteen. I am Not a Robot by Marina and the Diamonds. It unironically makes them feel a lot of things.

Sixteen. Lowkey Natalie Portman’s character in Ex Machina.

Seventeen. Almost like a stock photo or a model’s shoot. They are symmetrical and physically attractive, beautiful almost, but there’s something impersonal about the stiff way they hold themselves and the lack of emoting on their face.

Eighteen. They really want to meet a dog. EDM music confused them and holds up appeal. They wish they could try coffee and lemons.

Thank you, my love 🧡

LaVeau-gue - design #003 - Asset/Love - Ariel - Lexi Sun

You are most welcome Lexi, always an honour to get to work with my first redacted friend, especially when it comes to this bean, Ariel! I still remember a few of the details from our previous conversations in regards to how you see them so I hope this does them justice!

Design Notes

Approaching Ariel's design, I had already had remembered conversations with you in regards to previous inspirations you'd mentioned for your take on Love. I also added in a bit of my own inspos to the mix to see what would take

For Ariel's design I wanted to keep in mind the solid collection of notes you'd written up so I could incorporate as much as I could whilst also condensing the design so I could make it simple to redraw (as I do with some of my other designs). My main focus when getting into this design however was to create a human and android Skin similar to how I'd made my Asset, Prim.

A big inspiration I had for them was Jenni from My Life As a Teenage Robot and Hatsune Miku so I decided that white metallic plates reminiscent of Jenni would work and blue hair similar to Miku would tie things together. Additional, I also chose to include colours from the PM title cards to establish that visual parallel .

As for clothing, I followed your instructions as best as I could, creating an androgynous fit that was pastel and had hints of academic elements! On top of that, I incorporated musical notes as a reference to the singing Ariel from the Tempest and the little mermaid does and to reference her proclivities for piano music. To reference back to your choice of Psyche as a god to represent Asset, I included butterfly designs on their overalls. To balance the whole pallette I combos the PM pallette and the pallette of their clothes which ended up being pretty readable overall! Another fun fact is that I also ended realizing that Ariel shares a clothing pallette with my Caelum!

Wanna have your listener designed by me? Check out my rules for LaVeau-gue and send an ask my way! Also, currently I am looking for money to replace my computer so any interested parties who wanna help can check out my commissions!

Random, but I’m curious: if you had the chance to give Cassie a different type of lasso to replace the one imbued with Zeus’s lightning, what would it be?

serious answer: i think it'd be so fun to give her maybe something hephaestus-ish. magical fire and perhaps some occasional weird magical gadgetry at her fingertips. primarily fire but like... the occasional deus ex machina, as she deserves, yknow? i think like... there's something about cassie and the power of fire as both life and death but also progress. something something prometheus might even work here honestly?? open-ended but i think she deserves a lasso of sacred flame, that'd be cool.

silly answer: i've had an incredibly long day today AND forgot my meds this morning and i blame that general cocktail for this, but my brain did just see this ask and immediately jump to "REGULAR LASSO. COWBOY CASSIE? BUTCH LESBIAN COWBOY CASSIE. HOLY FUCKING SHIT. butch lesbian cowboy cassie and femme gay man cowboy kon could be SUCH a great gnc duo--" and this is really just so completely irrelevant to the question at hand but it deserves to be put out into the world i think.

Oh my gosh, I haven’t even thought about how TFA!Blitzwing and TFP!Starscream would react to each other’s respective Autobots. I can only imagine the sheer amount of culture shock stemming from going from dealing with an actual team of battle-hardened soldiers to a ragtag space repair team who just so happened to accidentally get involved in the reigniting of the great Autobot-Decepticon War and vice versa.

Blitzwing has to deal with a Bulkhead who’s more serious and willing to take others offline, while Starscream is relieved he gets a Bulkhead who’s more gentle and merciful.

Blitzwing is shocked by a Bumblebee who’s more mellow and reserved (even more so if he still has a damaged voice box at this point), while Starscream now has to put up with a hyperactive gremlin of a Bumblebee who just won’t stop talking.

Blitzwing has no idea who this blue femme Autobot replacing Prowl is and Starscream has no idea who this black and gold Autobot with shades replacing Arcee is (assuming that Prowl hasn’t sacrificed himself yet) and now they have to deal with a brand-new opponent who uses an entirely different fighting style.

And of course there’s how vastly different each universe’s Optimus Prime is, with Blitzwing now having to deal with an Optimus who actually has experience on the battlefield (again, assuming he hasn’t sacrificed himself yet) and Starscream now having to deal with an Optimus who is no clue what he’s doing but is trying his best to be a good leader regardless.

At least both universes’ Ratchets are pretty much identical to one another, though for some reason Blitzwing’s Ratchet seems to get rather upset when Starscream asks where Arcee is and what happened to her.

(The two also encounter the organic child/children each other’s versions of the Autobots are allied with; Blitzwing is shocked to find out he now has to handle three of them and Starscream is thankful that he only has to deal with one, at least assuming said organic child isn’t in her upgraded form yet)

When TFP!Starscream learns the history of this universe he's plainly horrified. Newspark soldiers brought to life on battlefields just to kill decepticons? All war frames banished from Cybertron and forced to live in the cold void of space for 4 million years? The autobots have become a hypercapitalistic totalitarian/authoritarian regime. It's his worst nightmare

Let's be honest tho, if it weren’t for protagonist armor TFP!Starscream probably would have all of the TFA autbots on earth dead within a week. Man's stone cold and will not hesitate. They don't have to hide from humans so he can operate out in the open. These autobots have such little experience and training. He'd have them all skewered like Cliffjumper in 7 days, max. Given the cartoony nature of TFA compared to the dark, serious-consequences-ACTUALLY-exist universe he comes from, he's a lethal killing machine that could easily rival this universe's Megatron.

TFA!Blitzwing probably wouldn't last too long in TFP for those same reasons, just inverted. There are no do-overs, there's no goofy deus-ex-machina or fake outs. If someone dies, they're dead, and that's that in TFP. Starscream has to protect this giant idiot who comes from a world where death is more of a suggestion or guideline, not a hardset rule

The TFA autobots are so fucking confused and scared for their lives, the TFP autobots are just annoyed

#TFP!Starscream and TFA!Blitzwing are friends AU #no but really i need a better tag for this #i love this au it's so much fun #cross dimensional starblitz

Today, for @adorkastock's adorable stock of the Draw Everything June challenge, I present you one of my OC and deus-ex-machina-rhum bottle, Baron Samedi, from my webcomic Here Be Voodoo.

He is so cute here you can forget he is the Protector Spirit of the Dead, Master of the Cemeteries, Patron of the Witches and Destroyer of Rhum and Tobacco Reserve.

He is probably swooning over his wife,.

Aujourd'hui, pour l'adorable stock d'@adorkastock du Draw Everything challenge, je vous présente mon OC et deus-ex-machina-bouteille de rhum, Baron Samedi, de mon webcomic Ici Vont Les Morts.

Il a l'air tellement choupinet là qu'on pourrais oublier qu'il est l'Esprit Protecteur des Morts, le Maitre des Cimetières, le Patron des Sorcier.es et le Destructeur des Réserves de Rhum et de Tabac.

Il est probablement en train d'admirer sa femme.

NGE asuka strikes out the ghaghiel jaws at 8 but the leliel jaws like a “dark shadow scene” from a spielberg movie or; "a creeping show from the court of king stephen" swallow shinji at 16 but who said that;s what kills him? and detective rei ayanami brings the red headed femme fatale in for questioning a peek at her notes lies below this line in more ways than one - where’d that sussy axe geaux? though i might just be axing myself a silly question tehe = caper with a vanishing murder weapon dis appearing N2 the darkness, because the victim isnt dead ‘ because the “ghost” of a “shark” swallowed a kid who was already dead before the cameras [and there are no cameras because it’s anime] “started rolling” “like a hoopsnake” which speaks for itself really ≡ and the question spoken aloud: “why do you pilot your eva?” but she knows its just pretense about preteens. They’re all 14, but the why about it is a reel deux-zy of a deus ex machina lol 101

You get what I mean though right? We need to kill the femme fatale trope and have a woman who just shows up to do something impossibly cool and say something goofy and that's her main purpose in the plot. Just hangs out for the majority of it and then decapitates 10 people in a deus ex machina. Most importantly, NOT subject to the male gaze. She's irresistible based on raw charisma but barely speaks. You know? Or do I sound insane?

#in other words we need more autistic women in media.

finished s2 of the boys here are some thoughts about the finale and the show in general (spoilers for s2 etc)

im not entirely sure where they're going with Dark AOC but it'd be cool if the message was like. even the most progressive people within the establishment want to maintain a constant sense of panic and prevent any material change bc then they lose their positions as well-paid, famous critics of the system. (a la pelosi, roe, fundraising)

im watching this show w/ my 16 yo cishet brother who asked me what a twink is bc maeve called hughie one. further proof that gay people were not involved in the writing of this show, that guy is not a twink. (exhibit number one was ashley(?) saying that butch/femme relationships r more accepted by heterosexuals)

women keep getting fridged left and right. becca has had the dubious honor of being fridged twice cuz butcher spent s1 having man pain about her being dead and now is going to have man pain about her being dead again

relatedly, i think it'd have been more Growth-y for butcher if they'd just let her and ryan go into hiding. cuz he wasn't willing to let that happen earlier in the season or even earlier in the ep. but whatever, this sort of thing happened on spn all the damn time and i'm a fool to expect any different from eric kripke lmao

i feel like they rushed the big expose of stormfront a bit. we never really get a chance to zoom out and see the public reaction to her past or even get to properly celebrate her death bc there r so many other things happening.

maeve being deus ex machina twice in one episode PLUS her saving starlight in the previous ep felt a lot like lazy writing

i do like the rainbow capitalism plot tho

it does seem like they r going the "you can't reform the system from the inside" route which is pretty based for a tv show

Tartuffe - Molière

Ah là, Tartuffe ! LA pièce la plus controversée de notre cher Molière. L'histoire, subversive pour l'époque, nous semble assez banale aujourd'hui. Nous sommes dans une maison, parisienne sûrement, bourgeoise ; dans cette maison, une famille au bord de l'implosion (mots d'Eric Ruf, que je trouve assez justes).

Une belle-mère pour certains, une mère pour d'autres, une grand-mère pour la plupart, sort, furieuse. La raison de sa colère ? Sa famille n'est pas assez sainte. Madame Pernelle, vénérable ancêtre, trouve sa belle-fille Elmire trop dépensière ; Cléante, le frère d'Elmire, ne devrait pas vivre chez eux ; Damis, le fils d'Elmire, est sot ; Mariane, la fille d'Elmire, pourrait mal tourner ; Dorine, la suivante de Mariane, se mêle de tout. Le fils de Mme Pernelle, Orgon, est le seul qu'elle ne blâme pas, car il a accueilli "un saint homme" dans la maison.

Réunion de famille, plus personne ne supporte "cet odieux personnage" qui semble tout régenter au lieu du patriarche. Valère, un jeune homme, souhaite épouser Mariane, on le lui a promis, ils s'aiment. Seulement, Orgon veut renforcer la place qu'a prise Tartuffe dans la famille, et le marier à sa fille au lieu de Valère. Révolte de toutes parts, Dorine travaille dans leur sens.

Apparaît Tartuffe, qu'on a tant et tant décrit de manière peu flatteuse pour la plupart, qui commence par s'entretenir avec Elmire, qui elle souhaite le convaincre de convaincre Orgon de renoncer à lui donner Mariane. Il lui avoue ici ces sentiments (dans une des plus belles déclarations d'amour que j'ai jamais lues d'accord ?). Damis a tout entendu, essaye de le dénoncer à son père, mais Orgon ne le croit pas, et le ton monte au point que le fils est chassé de la maison et déshérité.

Elmire élabore un plan pour qu'Orgon comprenne enfin la duplicité de son prétendu ami. Caché sous une table, le père va assister à l'étalage du mensonge de Tartuffe : Orgon l'ayant fait son légataire universel, il possède la maison ; il veut Elmire en plus du reste. Le faux dévot révèle alors son vrai visage ; et il aurait presque pu gagner, si l'intervention légèrement deus ex machina du Roi ne l'envoyait pas en prison pour défaire tous les nœuds.

Si les personnages sont globalement fidèles à eux-mêmes, chacun ayant son bon rôle moliérien, la servante maligne, la fille et son amant, la femme inventive, le fils contre son père, le frère raisonnable, deux personnages semblent plus complexes. Orgon peut être représenté de deux façons, soit comme un vieillard qui ne sait plus trop ce qu'il fait et se voue complètement à Tartuffe par stupidité ou énorme manque de jugement ; soit comme un homme dont on complètement retourné le mode de pensée, qui devait avoir une blessure ou une fragilité antérieure dans laquelle Tartuffe s'est engouffrée.

Derrière tout ça, la figure dont on parle tant (et qu'on ne rencontre qu'à l'acte III!), Tartuffe. Menteur, manipulateur, faux dévot utilisant la religion pour servir ses intérêts et justifier tout et n'importe quoi auprès de ceux qui le croient. Figure aujourd'hui proverbiale de l'hypocrisie religieuse, il a fait beaucoup de bruit lors de la sortie de la pièce : le parti dévot, puissant sous Louis XIV, n'a pas supporté qu'on les moque ainsi. Les grenouilles de bénitier n'auraient-elles pas apprécié qu'on jette un pavé de vérité dans leur mare ? Toujours est-il que Tartuffe est ce personnage trouble, toujours dans une double énonciation. On le dit recueilli par Orgon, pauvre enguenillé, sûrement maigre comme un squelette. Fatale ironie du sort, Orgon le premier a fait preuve de charité chrétienne. Aujourd'hui apparemment indéboulonnable de sa chambre à l'étage, il est devenu celui qui murmure à l'oreille d'Orgon, son "maître à penser". Pour le chef de maison, Tartuffe est "son frère", un ami véritable, qui n'a que l'intérêt des autres en tête, c'est cette confiance aveugle qui le poussera à aller à l'encontre de tous les siens jusqu'à ce qu'on lui prouve longuement la duplicité de son protégé.

Mais impossible d'envisager le personnage de Tartuffe sans prendre en compte l'interprétation que le comédien en fait.

Alors bienvenue dans Télé-théâtre, histoire de comparer les différentes versions de ce rôle. (Tumblr étant ce qu'il est, les visionnages de ces différentes versions se feront en posts séparés, et taggés "tartuffe")
