Fic-to-Art #34: The development of Sokka and Azula's relationship

When you move to a whole new country, that's when your patrons are going to vote for the prompt that makes you want to go completely bonkers and that you would draw ten years worth of art for. Yep. So you try to condense that impulse into something you can finish in... 1 week? Sorta?

I honestly barely know how I managed to do it that fast, but hey, made it on time for the end of October, so here goes! A little walk through the history of these two and the evolution of their relationship in Gladiator.

The first GIF is mainly about Part 1, the second one's first two pieces are Part 2, the third piece is Part 3. The last two GIFs, of course, are both meant to be Part 3, with the final GIF being meant as a symbol of hope in many regards. I'm guessing some of you guys will pick up on a funny little hint about just what kinds of hopes we're talking about here...

Anyway! Now I hope you guys enjoyed these crazy artworks! It's a Halloween miracle that I finished them on time, haha. If you'd like to be part of the creative process behind these pieces, a 1$ pledge on Patreon is enough to make you eligible for suggesting prompts and voting on polls, as well as reading Gladiator snippets 6 days before the next chapter goes live!

Preliminary Review: Gladiator (2000)

Warning for spoilers.

New fandom just dropped: Gladiator (2000). It's set in pre-Christian Rome, so it uses ancient Roman mythology (e.g. Elysium) but still it's a compelling and tear-jerking story if you can suspend your disbelief properly.

Yes I like old movies. Yes it's more historical fiction. Yes I am now reading 2001 fanfic that was abandoned in 2004. Yes I post reviews anyway. So?

That movie was amazing. It suspended my disbelief like nothing has in a WHILE. It made me cry, which is tough to do.

In accordance with my recent character study on my top-ranking obsessions, Maximus the main character slots in BEAUTIFULLY but not in a typical way. His devotion and loyalty is to his family, his wife and son (and despite being away in battles for nearly three years, the movie does an amazing job convincing you that these ARE his greatest reasons for living) is his primary motivation. And he loses them. What follows is an astonishing exploration of his mental state following this, from apathy and passivity to simply surviving, to being revitalized in the name of revenge. Through it all is the theme of death - intimately close for a soldier and now gladiator - around every corner and in his thoughts continually as he thinks of his family. They are waiting for him in Elysium. In the end he dies - this is upsetting and distressing, of course, but also the only reasonable way it could have ended. His family was his reason for living. His family was his everything. What point would there be to life afterward?

It's an extremely interesting exploration of the theme that speaks to me; usually it's about a person's values and what they sacrifice for those values, and the level of significance that sacrifice was and what it meant. This time it's about having values (family) and refusing to sacrifice those to (some might think) a higher calling or duty. It's about losing, unwillingly, the things that are valued rather than sacrificing and/or regaining them.

However, Maximus the main character DOES also fit another common theme of my top obsessions: military or at least battle experience, despite the fact that I don't think I feel anything particularly strongly about the fact that a person is battle-hardened. But perhaps the combat experience shows another side to dedication and loyalty: that of risking life. Soldiers have strong force of will and self-control. Perhaps that life is necessary for the denial of self/desires for a higher cause that is inherent in my favorite themes. Thoughts to ponder.

Well, I did it, I got through "Gladiator" (2000).

Now, to be fair, it isn't that it's a bad film, there are just some elements that really grated.

I will say though, that I'm looking forward to watching it again, having gotten the first impression of all the less-than-enjoyable elements out of the way.

As I said in the first post, Scott is undeniably a good director, so the film isn't bad. I also very muched enjoyed both Richard Harris's and Oliver Reed's performances, as well as those by David Hemmings, Derek Jacobi and Djimon Hounsou. Omid Djalili was also a great, always welcome, comic relief in his scene.

To sum it up, I definitely think it has its merits, some parts of it are really beautiful film making, but when your main villain has "entitled prat" as their only personality trait, with zero development in any direction throughout the film, it will inevitably to some extent fall flat on its face.

Are there many chapters left until the sokkla reunion? Could you tell me what the chapter would be? I tried to imagine what the place would be based on the arts, but I have no idea, although it seems to be in a battle context.

Okay so I had a little time and enough consciousness to answer you even though you're not a birthday wisher.

You see, I could've left you hanging for a while longer just for my wicked enjoyment. I might have, if you'd sent this ask about... a month ago. Weeks ago. I dunno.

But you sent it now.

When I'm a single writing marathon away from writing that specific scene indeed :')

So I'm giving you the scoop, you heard it here first (unless you follow me on the twittersphere in which case you may have managed to unravel it by interpreting my incoherent rambling...):

Sokka and Azula are meeting face to face again in chapter 373.

Feel free to start elaborating further on how it will happen and under which circumstances and so on :>

🔔Q&A and interesting facts: part 2 of Dmitry screenwriter of Gladiator Chronicles broadcast ⚔️

Dmitry’s new idea has not yet been accepted, discussions are currently underway. He would like to do something unique with Romance Club, to get to the top in terms of the number of reads (here Dmitry said that he was joking, and the admin cried).

Dmitry really liked the chapters - they were dynamic. He also really liked the tracks that Dmitry (composer) wrote for the final chapter.

Dmitry doesn't associate himself with Hotch. As an author, he relied on his own experience when creating the character, so each of his characters is a part of Dmitry. Some more, some less. He associates himself more with Cassius.

Afiy and Orvon got used to each other a long time ago, there was jealousy, but now, although they are not friends, they are good acquaintances.

For some time, Dmitry was very fond of the series “Spartacus”, the image of Augusta was inspired by this series - she is powerful, older than MC, and experienced. The images of Cassius and Hotch are jesters.

There will be an ending with Hotch. Dmitry "saw" the ending of Hotch's route a certain way, so he is happy that the ending with this hero will turn out exactly the way he intended it.

Dmitry really likes all the art and the creativity of readers in general.

It is difficult for Dmitry to combine work with the theater, but the participants of the theater in which he works adapt to each other’s schedules.

The GC setting is more interesting to men. When they chose the theme of the story, they wanted to attract men to the Romance Club. And they seem to have succeeded.

It was important for Dmitry in GC to hook the entire audience, to create a good plot.

It’s difficult for Dmitry to come up with new ideas, but it’s easy to develop ready-made ones.

Advice for aspiring screenwriters: don’t feel sorry for your characters, imagine that they are real people, don’t be afraid to stick more knives into them.

The great popularity of Hotch thread surprised Dmitry. He's pleased that readers have found some chemistry between Rix and Hotch.

Hotch was not originally planned as a route.

Dmitry really liked the scene in space.

In the story there are 7 branches(route) and one path of loner (single) Dmitry tried very hard to write everything down and preserve the character of the heroes.

The sequel, according to Dmitry, will not be as relevant as the prequel.

Cassius - he was still a tomboy in the past.

Caesar admired Cassius, treated him like a brother, but was not in love with him. Nevertheless, Dmitry is pleased that chemistry was noticed between these characters.

Dmitry really likes the first intimate scene with Augusta and the CG for this scene.

Dmitry would follow the path of balance, which is not found in the story.

Dmitry would give himself the following advice: “don’t make more than 4 branches.”(route) Also, he would have revealed the second half of the second season differently.

There will be less variability in Dmitry's new story.

In the finale they will explain why Tory and Gars “get together” by default if there is no route with Tori.

Dmitry does not see the chemistry between Afiy and Orvon.

In the path with Stortia there will be an additional scene where she will explain the reason for her strained relationship with Corvius.

Dmitry will not write a story in a zombie apocalypse setting.

Cassius is most like Dmitry; he is a charismatic and intelligent character.

We'll learn why Labelle and Caesar are so similar.

Dmitry’s favorite meme according to GC:

Credit art: morromo_art

Creating a route with Labelle was difficult.

Dmitry would not like to write a volume for LSE(Love Sin&Evil).

Dmitry agrees that the plot sank in the second season, but not in the 3rd season.

The relationship between Rix and Labelle is very tender and reverent.

There will be several endings; in the epilogue we will be told about the fate of different characters.

Labelle did not have a serious relationship before Rix; this is not relevant for the story.

A new story from Dmitry is in development, but he said that more stories from Anna (Rage of the Titans”) and Natalia (“Hollywood Story,” “Sin of London”) are in the progress. Most likely, he will let the ladies go first.

Works similar in setting to GC: “Star Wars” (films), “Dune” (book), “Spartacus” (TV series).

Rix and Labelle's relationship will be like a long marathon with a happy ending.

The avatars that appeared in the profile in the official application contain a spoiler for the ending (but not a critical one).

Dmitry likes books and films based on Harry Potter.

Dmitry loves both cats and dogs, but he lives in an apartment, so he can’t get a dog yet. But he has a cat.

There will be no hidden endings in the final of the GC, but there will be achievements that can be considered such endings. It will be on the way alone.

Dmitry used to read fan fiction about GC.

Dmitry undertook to finish the short story “Path of the Valkyrie” (originally by Alexandra Koval) if no one else could do it except him.

Dmitry likes the universes of “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit”. In January, a short film based on VK will be released, where Dmitry played an orc.

Hotch's wounds are worse than previously shown due to the importance of preventing the spread of infection.

Perhaps there will be a separate section dedicated to the theater.

Dmitry really likes the series of books “The Secret City” by Vadim Panov.
