Joshua Reynolds (British, 1723-1792) • Lady Sarah Bunbury Sacrificing to the Graces • Between 1763-65 • Art Institute of Chicago

This painting is executed in Grand Manner style. In practice it meant drawing on the style of ancient Greek and Roman (classical) art and the Italian Renaissance masters such as Raphael. Grand manner was strictly used for history painting, but Reynolds adapted it very successfully to portraiture, inventing the high art portrait. - Tate Britain

y'know what i find interesting about sun now that hw2 is out?

i've seen various interpretations of him since the game's release with all the new dialogue and scenes we got ranging from "stressed and in bad need of a cigarette and a three year vacation" to "petty bitch" to "caring but pushed to his limit" and like

the thing is, they're all right

he probably played favorites with some of the kids--cassie's testament combined with his general mannerisms certainly make me think so. sun is a little mean to the player character. he insults you, he talks down to you, he treats you like you don't have two brain cells to rub together when you screw up. in the carousel level, he's clearly begrudging that he can't simply do the job himself. he is petty and he is stressed and he is frustrated

you'd think, then, that sun would happily let moon do what he will with the human employees he clearly detests, with the kids that obviously frustrate him. you'd think he'd make good on his threats to turn off the lights himself, to let these people get what they deserve. how many times have we dreamed of petty revenge on the shitty customers and coworkers we've had to deal with in our jobs?

he doesn't. instead, he resigns himself to a life of isolation to keep moon in check, doing whatever he can to keep anyone else from getting hurt or dying. despite all his hot air, sun cares. deeply, selflessly. when we see him during the ruin segments of hw2, he's shaking in fear, hiding in scant light he has access to in his and moon's horrible room, out of easy reach from most, trying in the only way he can to keep more tragedy from occurring. he knows how bad his situation is; he's acutely aware of it in a way most of the other animatronics don't seem to be. his actions speak far louder than his words, and god knows he has plenty to say

sun is a deeply flawed person who tries to do good in spite of it all, and to me, that's fascinating

#fnaf sb #fnaf ruin #fnaf hw2 #fnaf sun #idk i've just been mulling this over since hw2 came out #ik some people were disappointed with his mannerisms #none of this to say sun is perfect. he obviously isn't #it's just far more interesting to see his good intentions contrasted with his harsh personality #idk. he's just so big and loud and grand that it's just kind of tragic to me that he makes himself so small and hidden #for the sake of people he doesn't even like most of the time #anyway he lives rent free in my head forever thanks

That clip of Nicky(?*) and Suni(?*) running up the stairs, all loved up, in the Robron mill got me feeling like:

#no harm to them but if they could just act like that literally ANYWHERE ELSE #that would be grand thanks #robron are the only ones who can behave in such a manner in that flat #honesty did they not get the memo? #*I haven't seen an episode of Emmerdale in a while so I think those are their names #robron #robert sugden #ryan hawley #aaron dingle #danny miller #robert x aaron #Emmerdale

The shite I have been up to

#The Jun when he has to include a head turn in nearly every animation #1st images are another old idea I had #I was reading bits of the artbook about Tima picking up on Kenichis expressions/mannerisms which seems more apparent in her model sheets #And I thought about applying it for other people as well...(Original reference flipped to show the pose better) #I have many thoughts about Metropolis' characters and themes (including what I dislike) so for my fanart of such a grand film to just be th #same characters in a different outfit or eating crackers or something... I feel a little bashful about it. #Also I learned Kenichi's voice actor (Kei Kobayashi) is a professional jazz singer. He has a beautiful voice

my mom's college is sooo nostalgic 😭

#i used to come here as a kid #when we had a holiday but mom and dad had jobs to mom would carry me and brother here #she has her own huge department and its separated from other staff rooms #and there's a huge blackboard that students would draw on with colorful chalks its still there 😭😭 #and frames of different anatomical structures #and the kitchen inside #and menu cards prepared by students all over #she's home science and english teacher so she has it all a bit of nutrition stitching and sewing cooking medicine table manners #chemistry biology literally everything #and the students prepared files with pretty covers and id pick out all the decorations from the files when they passed out #and in practicals mom would make them prepare tastiest dishes everyone got a sweet and one savory to prepare #and mom always has craziest idea she loves cooking so you can imagine the dishes i got to taste #the glass and foil paintings are still there 😭😭🥹🥹 #and the cutlery #there are lot more wall hangings now #and the one huge center table is reduced to two small tables #and the department has got one new teacher shes so young #i mean its not so grand but ofc its grand it contains my childhood #the canteen and bookstall don't work anymore no idea why the owners abandoned them after covid #im so 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 #im meeting my school friends here then we'll go shopping

one thing i do love about Brennan's storytelling is how often he creates characters who carry Anger with them. like, it's not an anger that subsumes or permeates who they are, nor does it tend to Remain throughout the entirety of their arcs, but it's there, in Zelda, and Hob, and Evan, and Ayda, and Nikhil, and so on. Characters who snap and snarl and growl and shout, and - and this is Key - are never like, reprimanded, or corrected, or resented for it. i cannot express how much this means to me

#N posts stuff #Hob & Nikhil. their anger kind of shapes how they Perceive the world instead of being obvious in their mannerisms but still. there's like #Zelda who snarls and snorts and goes into rages and the Seven ACCEPT that as communication and don't tell her to moderate it more #or Ayda who Shouts at the Bad Kids and Adaine doesn't flinch or shift tone/cadence at all; they accept it and Listen to it #or Evan who growls and yells at people and his friends don't ever try to admonish him for it OR act afraid of him #they're also all like. they have a Fear/Insecurity around their own anger that also resonates so strongly to me #and so i love how the other players/characters so often will Defend them and Accept them AND their anger you know? #like to see characters who are Angry and who Show It Really Obviously and no one flinches from them and there's no grand arc #about how their anger is something Bad they need to Fix about themselves it's still just One Normal Emotion in a spectrum of those #it's really important to me IDK lol i'm like <3 I am Looking with big eyes #dimension 20

What does Blade look like when he's trying to be romantic? Would he ever attempt it in the first place? I can't picture it but I'm so curious 🤣

I invite you to read this post from 3 years ago (!) about his methods of flirtation 😌 Blade's idea of romance and courtship is like silently splitting his sweetbun in half and sharing it with MC at communal breakfast mid-conversation, without either of them really acknowledging it; leaving books he think she'd like in random places where she'd have no way of knowing it was him, like some kind of weird helpful fae gremlin; and probably challenging her potential suitors to duels somewhere in the background without anyone ever realizing he was doing it

#it's obviously different when he's actually in a relationship with MC and he can actually be quite romantic! #he's quite earnest and loving in a relationship #and despite being inexperienced in the beginning he is an intensely passionate person at heart and he's like not a complete idiot #so he is naturally loving and to an extent romantic #he won't ever be singing love songs or reciting poetry or filling the courtyard with flowers in grand public gestures #but he'll plan a beautiful romantic date or trip for the two of them or bring home gifts from his travels #or even write a subversive love letter or two home once he's comfortable! #he's always thinking about MC so it will show in his mannerisms #it's all about the hidden gestures with him and the Ket #and his gestures can be very romantic if you know what to look for and what he means by them! #Shepherds of Haven #Blade #Blade Bronwyn #fluff #silly

My friend said older Michael looks mean 😭😭

And he really does. He seems like he’s Moreso trying to manipulate younger Michael into helping him rather than actually trying to help the situation at large <\3

What a perspective!

I'll say this: Older Michael has the weight of the world on his shoulders and his alone. At least, in his side of the timeline. He is the only god left on the planet, and the youngest one of them all mind you! He's very stressed, and has a small window of time to fix everything and realign the timeline before the world is beyond repair-- and he can only communicate with the other timeline in brief brief moments in time. He has no time to be playful or friendly, only to relay very important information.

Whether he's mean, manipulative, or whatever you want to think of him as, that's up for your debate. He's just trying to save his world.

#even if he isn't doing it in the best manner #unfortunately the only major issue is his homeworld-- the world that this story takes place on ofc #it's very small in the grand scheme of things #it isn't universe-threatening. most mimes targeted specifically the moon and the planet it orbits #so no other god is out to help #shadow disappearing from the metaphysical is an imbalance #but an imbalance that will be restored with time #that time being. like. eons. #the worlds demise is like. just a couple of years away. its a little more urgent for older michael AVDBDBDBD #brambleramble

Is it hyperbolic to say that FF7R is made of the same brain slush that Disney Live Action remakes are? I know FF7R is technically still animated, but I mean, so was The Lion King 2019.

#shut the heck up #ff7 #disney #tag talking #watching the nibelhiem part of rebirth with the council and there were sooo many dumb choices #and like looking at the 7r project as a whole it just lacks so moment to moment vision #i know its building to some grand meta-narrative but like individual scenes are so bleh so generic action camera and mocapitis #im happy there are enough people out there who realize the majesty of prerendered backgrounds for storytelling but like squenix doesnt care #also so many scenes that were originally slow and dialogue based turned into mild action setpieces its shtuupid #or the part in the reactor where while Sephiroth has a revelation youre in a different room doing a random valve turning QTE LIKEDSGFJSHD #lord the balance of battles and narrative #people harp on the original for being dated with its late 90sness but theres so much abbrassive rule-of-coolism in 7R #more than a lot me and my friends kept screaming about sephiroths characterization like why in gods green fuck he smiled so much #and one of my friends was like 'maybe this is cloud making things up cause he wants to feel like sephy notices him' and i was likE- #OFC THEN LATE GAME THEYLL EXPLAIN THAT ALL HIS OOC FANSERVICE MANNERISMS AHVE BEEN A ROUSE THE WHOLE TIMEHDSGJF #THEY DO ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO CHARACTERIZE HIM THEY WERE JUST TORMENTING US OFC!! HSDFGJSDJ #they dont know what theyre fukcing doing with that guy he shouldnt be fucking smiling during nibelhiem #he shouldnt have even smiled when he said the 'im going to see my mother' line - AND DEFINITELY NOT DURING THE FIRE!! #he was not happy then he was estuans interis he was on a mission not sadistically torturing the townsfolk #HE WOULD NOT FUCKING do THAT
