original thief series basso & garrett :)
ngl, it's about quality over quantity for me. an npc can have a total of three minutes of screen time, but if they have a cool name, they can live rent free in my head and I'll spend several hours trying to decipher drawable features from a blurry screenshot of pixels
there is a vague hint of a story here, and that's because every time I try to play thi4f, I get incredibly frustrated with how Not Fun the game play is. like, is the story good? well. but it has a PLAGUE. that should've given it instant 'I'll replay this once a year' status in my heart, but the game play sucks so bad that I've never finished it. I can't believe Not Fun gameplay beat out my obsession with narrative plagues.
anyway, the idea is basically if the original era had a game with a plague centric narrative and some other stuff I liked out of thi4f thrown into a narrative blender, with a heavy dash of horror thrown in because some parts of the thief games were scarier to me than entire dedicated horror genre games.
⭐ places I’m at! bsky / pixiv / pillowfort /cohost / cara.app
#if i had a laptop and the skillset i would attempt a story mod because the thief modders who create whole mission stories#are GENIUS and also somewhat terrifying. love them! xoxox#anyway im actually kind of obsessed with parts of thi4f but its also like. not at that sweet spot of almost good enough to be fun#to talk about. which. for the record. has not stopped me from talking about it at length to people#the city itself actually fucking fascinates me. its almost alive and im SO mad that not a single part of that game is actually terrifying#it should be gnarlier and instead it feels a bit like it doesn't quite want to be trapped in the story it has to tell?#but between the level that has the bodies on the meathooks#and the scene with the bodies hanging from the rafters or whatever that was and garrett living in a clock tower#because the game is very much ALMOST about changing times and authoritarian violence and capitalism#(like. by virtue of how the story sort of spins out i think it misses it's mark on a lot of stuff here#in the sense that i dont feel like it actually wants to tell that story. it wants to. go in a different direction. or at least walk on top#of those themes instead of through it)#ANYWAY between all of those things. it does kind of live in my head rent free. they did create a compelling setting#SHAME THEY DIDNT WANT TO ACTUALLY EAT ANY OF IT#unrelated but i would've given thi4f a 10/10 if they kept garrett's fucking nail polish from the concept art. cowards. unforgivable#thief the dark project#i still have no idea how to tag the game series as a whole RIP#sorry for the dedicated dark project fans. if you know what the general series tag is. please let me know#garrett thief#basso thief

Soo I have a magi ask!!
Possessive!Sinbad who turns extremely jealous of Jafar for spending wayyy to much time with reader even tho he ordered him to protect her 💀
And I hope your having a good day/night
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Possessive!Sinbad x reader
Tumblr media
Tw: possessiveness, might be a tiny abuse of pet names at the end), fluff
Tumblr media
And there he was, acting like a baby (aren't you used to it by now.)
Your big tall muscular man child. Giving you the silence treatment.
Urgh. How did we get to this????
You went around and asked all the generals and they all came to the conclusion (some more amused than others) that our lord was in fact jealous.
.
.
.
Jealous of the time you spent with ja'far.
which (like the time he tried to build you another vacation house for the sake of it) did not make sense as he was the one that assigned him to you for god knows what purpose.
Regardless, you very much enjoyed your time together ; unsurprisingly, ja'far is great at holding conversation. The both of you engaged in very captivating discussion about : sindria and it's politics, philosophy, academics, and others alike.
Simbad probably didn't like the way you would laugh at his words, and certainly not appreciate how your body seemed to drift toward him when engrossed in a certain topic, and beyond all the way his hand enveloped around your figure that time you almost fell to the ground.
And who cares if you could have fell head first on the floor, no other man should ever be allowed to touch you !!!
And this didn't go unnoticed by ja'far, he found amusement in it.
His boss made him work day and night
A little revenge never has never hurt anyone!
But back to the present now.
"Simbad?" You called. No answer.
"Simbad~" you called. No answer.
This went on and on until you desided to combat fire with fire -you ignored him.
You tried to spend the next couple minutes in silence while still in his eyesight to stir the pot.
Then he yielded.
He slowly made its way to the door, locked it and looked at you.
'Uh oh. What now' you thought
He walked toward you and lightly grabed your arm, led you to a wall and pinned you against it.
After a long moment, quite words came with a sign "you make it so hard for me to work you know that princess?"
You stood there not knowing what to do so you stayed quiet.
His mouth neared your mouth "my darling"
But he did not kiss you.
His mouth neared your neck "my angel"
But he did not kiss you.
He did not kiss you - you grew impatient. He retracted and he saw it - that face.
A slight frustrated expression, a heated face and a flustered look.
He got his revenge.
"now forget every other man and think only of me"
And who were you to argue?
Tumblr media
(The others general were just happy simbad could work again, god help them...)

After spending so much time watching dimension 20 I seriously don’t think I’ll ever be able to tolerate regular tv. My little gay heart has never seen this kind of queer representation in tv and it is nourishing my soul. And queerness is never the butt of any joke and the characters experiencing and figuring out their sexualities isn’t always sad and dramatic.
I have never related to something so much. This silly show of just a bunch of cool actor friends playing D&D has probably changed my life: I feel like I know who I am better now???
I am eternally grateful to Brennan Lee Mulligan and literally every person involved in Dimension 20 for giving us this show and this outlet to figure ourselves out. Also gonna be eternally annoyed with Dimension 20 every time I have to watch a straight romcom - give me gay wizards and fairies and candy people any day

a moment that stuck out to me while rewatching the pilot was tk's reaction when they're visiting the firehouse for the first time, the way he tells owen to call and tell the deputy chief he's changed his mind, they don't belong there. he sees the memorial and the flowers and the way the firehouse is exactly as it was the day that last call came in, and he's immediately horrified at the idea of himself and owen intruding on this grieving process. recognizing that they were invited to austin by higher-ups who have no idea what the loved ones of these men are going through, who now have to be okay with total strangers coming in and making assumptions and thinking they know best how to move forward.
i feel like this is such a good distillation of tk's character, his instinctual selflessness, the way he so easily puts himself in the shoes of others (even people he's never met) and tries to understand from their perspectives. he knows he and his dad have the best intentions but these people may see them as assholes, and that's important to focus on, the impact it could have. it's a brief moment that demonstrates just how deeply tk cares, how aware he is of the priority being helping people. treading lightly, not adding to their pain while they're already grieving, caring for them by making them feel heard, no matter how that looks.

never before seen middle part comic noir… I’m obsessed u draw him so nicely 😭😭 so blessed
Tumblr media
NOT THE LAST MIDDLE PART COMIC NOIR I INTEND TO DRAW!!!! age discourse/noir timeline discussions i see on the dash have started to make me think about the overlapping year (1933....) and how that could be tied to the 'canon event'. and specifically the potential of comic!noir having a crazy angsty bittersweet time about itsv noir having longer with robbie because he happens to be born earlier in his universe. but also comic!pete having to grapple with knowing what happened to robbie in his universe and how he can't stand by and watch a version of himself lose robbie when he could change things. which is why i have this draft of a page :)
AND GOD DUDE THE WAY U DRAW COMICS NOIR (baby... baby boy) ABSOLUTELY HAS PLAYED A PART IN HOW I DRAW HIM !!! he is so devastatingly young in your depiction of him and i felt like the way i drew the comic version of him had to change and adjust towards that!!!! i love the comic art but that is not a 16-17 year old kid and i swear if the comic reflected how young he was i would have had the world's worst category 10 woman moment

Do you ever think about how Fakir, after him and Ahiru finally broke everything that kept the town of Goldkröne in the ghostly hands of its writer, after they finally have some air of peace over the town finally being able to live in its intended early 2000s environment, that Fakir still feels at times like it's not real and that for a while he fears that if he closes his eyes it'll be back in Drosselmeyer's control. Like it just doesn't feel real to him during that first year of calm, until he feels the dull pain on his recovering hand injury and Ahiru who follows him without a pendant anywhere to be found.
He doesn't feel it's real, the calm finality of this town, but he makes sure to feel the scar on his hand. And he makes sure to hold the little duck and realize that she is who she has always been. Him and the town are finally living peacefully.
#dia talks#princess tutu#He probably starts planning on writing Ahiru into the world mayyybe like 3-4 months into his recovery#he doesn't know what a cell phone is yet but he sure as hell can look at a bookstore and ask for a notebook and pens#i bet that first year in Goldenkröne must be hell because trading deals bring all sorts of new things into the town#Just Fakir going “what the fuck is a scooter?? Wait what's a CAR---”#he ends up having to read a bunch of newspaper articles about “Goldenkröne booming in German tourism!”#Actually does he even know his country's name... Did they all even know they lived in Germany and not JUST a city????#Drosselmeyer would've really pulled one on them for only talking about the city and its outskirts and NOT the country it resided in#But let's assume they did know. Fakir would have to figure out so much has changed in 2002 Germany compared to whatever time they were in#My god just thinking about the thought of Fakir learning what a television is... or a radio for that matter has me howling internally#local amateur writer is put into a coma after hearing for the very first time german rapper Sido#alternatively: local amateur writer's brain explodes after hearing german Happycore artist Blümchen and dance pop group No Angels#ptutu spoiler#i know its a +20 old show but just in case people wanna watch it i love it enough to tag the post show headcanon#ptutu analysis#ptutu headcanon#ptutu post canon#Also sorry i keep jumbling between Goldkröne and Goldenkröne in the writing its 4 AM and the german part of my brain is a mess lmao#(its supposed to be Goldkröne but for some reason I keep making it into the attribute word Golden so dont mind the mistake)#(if you do i will sob please be gentle towards my polyglot self)

I finished the Quirrel ita bag insert and layout!
My back hurts from being hunched over trying to put the keychains in with my pesky safety pins, but it's worth it!
I now need to get small pins as filler, perhaps some jellyfish that match the colour scheme?
The artists of the merch can be found under the following posts: [click], [click], and [click]. The plush is official merch sold by Fangamer
I now leave you off with some music! Decisive Battle for Quirrel :)
I love this bug so much y'all, and now I can show it to the world more than just my Quirrel shirt :D

the thing about romcoms is just- it's never meant to be 'is it believable?' but instead 'do you believe it?' do you believe these two characters are actually falling in love with each other??? do you believe their chemistry??? do you believe whatever obstacle is thrown in their way is legitimately something that might keep them apart for a time and not something that could be solved with one conversation?? do you believe that they believe they need to fake date for this very specific reason??? do you believe the reason why they're 'enemies' at the start, no matter how silly a misunderstanding it may be??? do you believe the grand romantic gesture fits the characters and is actually how one character would show their love to the other?? like!!!! it's about empathy and authenticity and feeling what the characters feel so strongly that even if it's a trope or a cliché it doesn't matter because you believe it

I'm writing a fanfic rewriting Legend of Korra to make Korra an anti-hero who eventually allies with Kuvira and betrays her friends. It's called "The Tragedy of Korra". Have you ever thought that Korra would have been more interesting if Korra herself was more morally grey? I feel like it would have tied together a bunch of elements that didn't work too well in canon Korra.
i mean korra already is morally grey (liberal). but i do think a narrative wherein korra attempts to undo the (supposed) work of aang & zuko to establish a neocolonial state on earth kingdom land (republic city) by allying with kuvira could be interesting in terms of what would need to change in the plot for her to reach that conclusion. lok pretty uniformly portrays republic city as a good thing that only fascist monsters would attempt to condemn, but kuvira is also just categorically right that republic city is essentially a fire nation colony in a coat of fresh globalist paint, she's just wrong in her conclusion that returning that land to the earth kingdom means returning that land to her specifically. but korra grappling with the ramifications of the darker aspects of her predecessor's legacy is a very "avatar" story (aang w/ roku, kyoshi w/ kuruk, kuruk w/ yangchen, even korra w/ wan in book 2 i guess), and was only really elided by the narrative because we're supposed to agree with the construction of republic city in the first place (ymmv).
we're supposed to buy that aang and zuko established republic city and that rc is an ontologically independent state with no vestiges of fire nation imperialism left in its functioning, but it takes many large leaps in logic to arrive at that conclusion (such as toph establishing a police force; katara being fine with neocolonialism, including in her home; etc.), that this was a largely positive decision and not a geopolitical blunder. but i think taking a more realistic approach, that aang was forced to make compromises and now korra must decide whether/how to rectify those decisions and with whom to ally to do so, was always the kind of dormant subtext of lok that i felt like needed to be teased out more for the show to work in the direction it had been taken (which, again, is not necessarily the only or best direction they could have taken it).
i do think you'd have to change kuvira's character considerably to make her less cartoonishly evil (she is a fascist ethnonationalist who crowns herself emperor, puts minorities in internment camps, and harvests the resources of a sacred swamp to construct a wmd that is launched from a giant robot...) if you want anyone to buy that korra would ally with her, but korra does also ally herself with some pretty questionable figures, so i hardly think her naïveté in that regard is out of character for her either. i think politically speaking, lok kind of already is a tragedy, so you'll probably find yourself with both an easier and harder job than you'd expect attempting to rewrite the narrative from this particular angle.
