#mark's musings

[canisalbus]

Okay I just realised this but Vasco's two moles under his eyes reminded me of this old saying that two moles directly under the eyes mean you get bad luck in relationships. Intentional or not, this detail is a nice little easter egg to his relationship with Machete and any he had beforehand!

.

#facial mole/beauty mark placements have had specific meanings in the past that much I know #I tried to look into this and see if it's a well known thing but couldn't find anything #so I can't verify or refute it but if it's true that's a fun coincidence #answered #anonymous #is Vasco unlucky in relationships though? #well maybe in a way that his favorite person is kind of a mess and not an easy individual to love #Vasco has the looks pedigree and stellar personality realistically he probably could've done better #but I like to think their relationship is strong and mutually fullfilling and despite their differences they work very well together #it's cliche but you could call it a soulmates thing #maybe the unlucky part is how precarious their situation is #and how despite their best efforts the world continuously tries to get between them #and then Machete gets murdered unexpectedly and Vasco has to continue living without him #I don't know I'm just musing

I love when they do the Glowy Ninja Eye thing in Rise no I cannot explain

#I’m sure there’s more but I got tired of googling #compiling these for my own use #screenshot redraws here I come! #rottmnt #tmnt #I’m having another turtle related spiral rn don’t worry about it #also side note it’s a credit to the designs that I can tell exactly who I’m looking at in the last screenshot #even though none of their usual distinguishing marks or colors are clear #with a quick look #my musings

Based on absolutely nothing but observation: Halsin got his scar first and then his tattoo. The little curves in the thorn whip design align with and parallel the way the scar is shaped, and since it's much more likely that the tattoo artist worked with the composition of the face and its preexisting markings than the bear slashed in the perfect shape, I like to think it was done on purpose, as a way to marry both sides of his face. A balance, if you will.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin #Halsin Posting #the real reason is character design and composition but the in world reason #i also hc that he could have chosen for the tattoo to cover the scar or camouflage it but instead chose for it to work in harmony with it #so that it served as a reminder #i see him as having gotten that scar early on during that 'misspent youth' he keeps mentioning #the tattoo doesn't emphasize the mark but it works in tandem with it...balance of nature you might say #at this point i'm just looking at tiny details and making hc decisions

the crisp end of winter and soon to be spring air tickles your cheeks, making your ears cold and your hands colder. there’s a book bag slung over your shoulder, slightly swaying as you pace the campus halls to make it to your first lecture of the day.

the bustling atmosphere makes it nearly impossible to get around it, but after having to walk this route many times, you’ve grown accustomed to the path you need to take in order to make it to class on time. the sounds of students engaging hits your ears as your shoes pat against the floor, your subconscious picking up bits and pieces of conversations as you make your way towards your composition writing class.

the first thing you do when you make it to the door is poke your head inside, scanning the few students who have decided to show up as early as you. there’s no sight of mark yet, which makes you let out an internal sigh of relief. this meant he wouldn’t have a chance to make conversation before the class starts, and you could sit away from him and dart out of the room as soon as the lecture ends.

“y/n?” a voice from behind you makes you flinch, grasping at your chest as your heart races within it. you immediately snap your head to the owner of the voice behind you, your stomach dropping when you recognize the same korean boy who’s music is terrible.

“oh, hey mark,” you greet him, attempting to be as casual and not awkward as possible. you can feel your heart rate beginning to slow after the short scare, your hands coming back to your sides. “you scared me.”

the brown haired korean-canadian looks at you with a smile, his fingers around his black backpack straps as he raises his eyebrow. his figure is adorned with a pair of black basketball shorts and a dark blue hoodie, something along the lines of clothes he wears nearly everyday. his glasses sit comfortably on his nose bridge, the silver frames complimenting his brown eyes.

“sorry dude, didn’t mean to scare you,” mark apologizes, reaching out and giving your shoulder a slight pat. “wanna head inside and sit together? i can show you what i’ve been working on.”

the dreadful question escapes from mark’s lips, making you unexcited for what’s to come. you don’t want to outright insult mark, even more so because you two sit on the title of mere acquaintances, so you settle for smiling and nodding your head. “yeah, sure. class doesn’t start for another.. fifteen minutes.”

mark’s face lights up pleasantly, his body stepping out of the way for you to enter the lecture hall. he gestures his arms forward, maintaining a good amount of personal space. “after you, then.”

you nod your head once to signify a thank you, walking into the high ceiling and large classroom with mark following behind you. there’s still an awkwardness that sits in the air, and you’re unsure if mark can sense it, or if it’s just all in your head. you’ve never spoken to mark on a friendly level, only interacting when needed, in terms of joint assignments or homework assistance.

you and mark end up sitting near the back of the class, the sunlight casting a soft glow from the windows behind you two. you sigh, setting down your book bag underneath your desk, and begin getting yourself sorted. you pray that mark will wait until after class to decide to show you his ‘music’, so that you could devise a plan to sneakily escape before he gets the chance to.

but, instead of your prayers being answered, you’re met with the devil’s wrath as mark nudges you lightly on the arm. your head slowly turns in his direction, trying to control your facial muscles to keep your smile from dropping as your eyes flick to the airpod he holds out in one of his hands. his expression is alike to that of a child showing their mother a badly drawn sketch, full of excitement and awaiting praise as he offers you the airpod.

“oh, thanks,” you manage to say in a sweet voice, your fingers lightly grazing mark’s warm palm as you take the item from his grasp. you watch as he loads up his laptop, opening up what looks like a professional music making app. as to how mark makes shit music with such great resources, you still remain clueless. you place the airpod in your ear, hoping to god that this doesn’t destroy your ear drums.

“just let me know if it’s too loud, i’ll turn it down for you,” mark grins, leaning back in his chair as his finger hovers over the space bar. he presses play, then turns to you, watching your reaction with an eager expression.

mark’s definition of kpop music is not for the faint of heart. your eyebrows subconsciously furrow together as the horrible tunes begin to sound, but you try to remain as positive as possible. your eyes keep focus on mark’s laptop screen, afraid that if you lock gazes with mark, he’ll be able to tell how much you dislike the song he’s made for you. you can’t even tell what instruments are being played, and his singing is nearly inaudible with the poor mixing of the audio.

you would have to figure out how to tell mark you weren’t going to promote his music on your twitter account, which leaves a slight feeling of guilt weighing on your shoulders; especially because you can tell the boy is working hard to make music that better suits the theme of your social media.

tired and somehow annoyed with the song echoing in your skull, you reach out to pause the music with a swift motion. mark still seems oblivious to your disdain for his music, still gazing at you with that same excited grin. you have to resist the urge to rub your temples and sigh, instead opting into giving him a closed lipped smile while letting out an awkward chuckle.

“so,” mark leans forward in his seat, making your neck and cheeks heat up due to sheer second hand embarrassment. “what do you think? good enough to post? i’m open to constructive criticism.”

you pause, trying to find the correct words that won’t hurt mark’s feelings. you do think he has potential, since he has a good voice (underneath the aggressive autotune) and a strong passion for music, but you’re unsure of how to tell him that this song he made is hot trash. “no.. um.. not quite..”

you make sure to avoid mark’s eyes, not wanting to see whether or not he has a disappointed expression. you rub the back of your neck, keeping your eyebrows scrunched up as you continue to rack your brain for the correct wording to use.

“oh yeah? what do you think i should change?” mark’s voice perks up, and you’re slightly baffled by his unwavering tone. he still seems excited, and thankfully, not upset over the fact that you deemed his work as ‘not good enough to post’.

“i’m not like.. an expert on music making or anything, but i think you should balance out your voice and the instrumental,” you admit, finally meeting mark’s brown orbs as you turn to him. he nods his head, listening intently to your advice as you continue speaking. “and maybe stick to one consecutive theme and pace..? i think that’ll help you improve.”

mark jots down your notes on his laptop, typing them up and highlighting some of your words. you let out an internal sigh of relief, grateful that mark is truly taking this as constructive criticism. he seems open minded, and not one to argue if someone is genuinely trying to help him get better at what he enjoys doing.

“wow dude, thank you so much,” mark smiles, turning back to you with a glint of elation in his eyes. “i like when people tell me what i’m doing wrong. it helps me a lot. i’ll make sure to do better and make a good song for you.”

for some reason, with mark’s words echoing in your brain, your heart swells. it may be because of the fact that he’s a good looking guy writing you a song (although it’s nothing personal), but a part of you views it as endearing. you’re still unsure of whether or not you’ll actually promote his music on your twitter account, but you’re still glad you were able to help him in any meaningful sort of way.

the lyrics in Time Is Running Out by Muse fit Saw V coffinshipping so stupidly well it blows my mind. i almost feel like i have to apologize to Strahm for listening to it

shooting knowing looks at an imaginary camera every time it comes on

#someone put me in a room with Matt Muse we need to thoroughly discuss his writing here one on one #have you watched saw matt? do you watch saw? will you watch saw? when will you watch saw? #already mentioned this to my friend once but i think about it every time i listen to the song #hoffstrahm #saw V #coffinshipping #peter strahm #mark hoffman #cider.txt

[godlizzza]

If we wanted to get really silly with it how about an au where strahm somehow winds up transported back in time 10 years ago and meets a younger hoffman pre-angelinas death. Hoffman is obvi very different here and strahm is spending his time trying to find a way to keep him from going down the jigsaw path, maybe just straight up tries to pre-emptively kill john, and also teach angelina some self defence shit idk

#strahm spending the whole time weirded out by this younger sunnier version of hoffman #cant decide if itd be funnier to have strahm also become younger once hes in the past or stay the same age #young hoffman calling him 'old man' and making strahms eye twitch looool #musings #hoffstrahm #coffinshipping #peter strahm #mark hoffman #saw

I love the shape language for Machete and Vasco, how angular and pointy the former is VS how round and soft the other... It's so GOOD I adore that

Thank you! I like the contrast as well, it makes them very fun to draw together. I try to keep them visually distinct while still making sure that they look harmonious and complementary next to each other.

#some more design musings that I've noticed that don't really matter but I tend to think about when drawing them: #Machete's shapes have an upward direction the ears the neck fluff and even the tip of his snout has that upturned angle #while Vasco's vibe is more loose and relaxed his huge floppy ears almost make him look like he's melting #neither of them have strong markings but the positioning of the gradients they have is very similar it's just different colors #Vasco has dark almond eyes (with what I can only describe as disney eyelashes) #his irises appear nearly black but if you shone a strong light directly on them they'd reveal a honey/amber hue #Machete's eyes are big and prominent with disproportionally small pupils #lately I've been drawing him with just the faintest salmon colored irises #but if the color scheme of the piece calls for it they can be depicted more vividly red #Machete has longer untameable fur here and there while Vasco is uniformly smooth and velvety #Machete is supposed to be the serious and inhibited half of the two but his face has a lot more expressive potential than Vasco's #it's actually kind of a struggle that I can't make Vasco emote with his ears at all those are typically a huge advantage in furry art #Vasco's body language is open and casual he takes up space confidently #Machete is usually very closed and defensive he has a habit of crossing his arms and legs and keeping his hands together and close to body #in general Vasco shouldn't be wearing anything black or red and Machete can't be seen wearing blue or gold #white is neutral territory it's usually the color of sleepwear and undershirts and as a result has a more intimate tone to it #answered #ardate

The little imprint on Halsin's right arm above his other belt - likely just a model texture slip, or a little detail to suggest he was wearing two belts on the right as well at one point because they're perfectly straight and equal distance apart, varying levels of visible depending on the shot, like a pressure imprint mark. But he notably doesn't have a matching mark when he removes the belt on his other arm:

In that thread of musing, it looks a bit like a scar - older and more healed - so I'm going to HC it as one.

#BG3 Musing #Halsin #Halsin Posting #you know what can leave uniform looking scars like that? #something something 'i was chained in their bedchamber for nigh on three years' #i already hc he's got one on his wrist and another on his collar so not very far fetched #either that or he has a heart condition since that mark doesn't go away #edema i think is what that suggests iirc #listen if everyone else is allowed to scrutinize every detail of their fav so am i #i thought maybe that it had something to do with the chest straps on his og armour #pressing into the flesh but it doesn't line up - the strap is too high unless he's jack knife-ing his arm against his side until it angles #this armour would fit that explanation
