Annie Cresta

There's not that much info about Annie, and not from Annie herself ... Which made her lots of fun to draw, just to figure her out.

On the left she's in her wedding dress which she got from Katniss. We know that it's green and has a very specific embroidery that makes it uniquely one of Cinna's works.... And wow, did I give it my all with the embroidery. (Never again!) It now has a very vintage flair to it which I think would have appealed to Annie.

In the middle, it's what I imagine her to wear during her Victor's Crowning ... if she even made it that far. Maybe she would still be in shock for a while until she was breaking down during her interview with Caesar? That's how everyone would know about her mental state after the Games. I imagine she would be forced to wear something sexy and very distinct for District 4 so it's mostly blue. The cape is a reminiscent of waves and a sea shell.

The upper right would be her after being freed and bright to District 13. She was described as "lovely, but bedraggled".

The last one ... well, I had some white space left. 😜

#the hunger games #thg #mockingjay #annie cresta #one thing I like to do is make Annie quite tall #for one she must be a really good swimmer #tall lean and broader shoulders than hips #but also I feel very often characters like Annie are shown mostly small #as if it's only acceptable to be scared and traumatised if you're small #Annie is in her mid-twenties so I don't want her too look like she could be Katniss' age #and she has a small tooth gap because it's just such a cut detail #however it doesn't really show in these images #anyway that's my take on Annie #maybe I'll do the other victors too? #i got johanna and annie so far

Hmm brain just conjured up another fictional little guy; at this rate, I am eventually going to run out of room to accommodate all of these fictional little guys, they will have to find a motel or something

#writing #writeblr #writer things #his name is tommy because that is the first name that came to my head #dark curly hair tanned skin hooked nose and dimples and dark eyes #an easygoingness and just genuine passion about him that's contagious #he may be a mechanic and wears loose oversize clothing a too long red button up with the sleeves rolled up #he smokes more out of habit and boredom than wanting to do it he hates it #he's got that classic awkward nerdy but strangely appealing best friend in a movie or show kind of vibe to him #except instead of being in that standard best friend role he is currently trying to usurp the role of love interest in my mind in the vague #new wip i had been thinking about making #though maybe i should make a new wip as this other wip is already new and has different vibes but... #i have made three new wips in the span of the last few days i am not making another i am not i am not #shoe meet horn #he's also mentally ill and the narrative is going to be f*cking normal about it #alright maybe i'll make a new wip #god am i going to make a new wip #my other brand new characters staring at me as i barely even got them off the ground yet like really come on dude #but don't worry oh god I remembered a 4th wip from the past two weeks don't worry bennett i haven't forgotten you #and the several hundred others up there #hmmm thinking about tossing him into a scifi #yes he looks suspiciously similar to some of my other ocs but different maybe i'm pulling a t*m b*rton #and hiring the same actor for all my movies

I feel like Splinter is like one of the most underrated characters when it comes to angst. I can get Leo's popularity(and especially f!leo) with painful fics cuz he kinda caused the apocalypse and he has severe self-image issues.

But Splinter has layers to his angst like an onion. Guy literally moves to America when he's seven or so, watches his mom "disappear" forever and then forth decided that he will no longer be a ninja because of it, ignores his grandpa's teachings(which could be said to be a metaphor for his culture also), becomes a young actor where he has to fake an American accent when he's on set(definitely experienced racism in the film industry), dates a pretty lady who he wants to marry but as soon as he proposes she reveals that she is a spider lady who doesn't want to marry him but instead wants to use him for her business(the Battle Nexus). He's stuck fighting for god-knows how long until he finally gives up and makes a vow to never fight again. And then, at the lowest of his luck, he gets kidnapped(albeit willingly), captured, and TURNED INTO A RAT. Forever. Did I mention that now he also has kids??? Four of them??? And though, at first, he wanted to take care of these turtles, maybe a few years go by and he just can't. It could be for a multiple of reasons, but soon enough he becomes more and more distant to his sons. And he starts getting, like, really addicted to T.V. commercials(which he used to cope with.... well, everything).

Now he's a pathetic rat man with no culture, no bitches, no friends, the guy is kinda a shell of his old self.

You could pull so many character analyses with this guy because literally anything and everything that has happened to him could be the reason why he's the man you see in the show. He's just such a cool character in that way.

#rottmnt #rottmnt splinter #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #save rottmnt #i would make an analysis of him myself but I've never made a character study before #maybe I'll just make one #honestly i can relate to him to a certain extent too #and its just so cool that you can actually say that him being an immigrant has affected who he is because i rarely ever see stuff like this #in other t.v. shows #you can tell the writers put so much care in his character

One of the best Voyager scenes to indicate Tuvok & Neelix's dynamic and how I think Tuvok is just as if not more 'annoying'(positive) than Neelix is when Neelix pours Tuvok a fresh squeezed glass of a fruit juice blend and Tuvok's like (paraphrased) "I don't want to drink this." and Neelix is like "Can you please try it?" and Tuvok's like "I don't want to, you're really bad at this sort of thing. It's going to taste bad." and Neelix says that Ensign XYZ said she LOVED it, she even had a second glass! And Tuvok says Ensign XYZ could drink poison without a second thought and Neelix is like "Tuvok could you please just TRY it? Just try a little SIP of it PLEASE??" and Tuvok sighs and rolls his eyes and sniffs it before taking a sip and it turns out he loves it. Turns out it tasted good actually. And then after all that Neelix tries to talk to him over eggs (which he's again cooking fresh for him) and Tuvok tells him he doesn't wanna hear "the life history of his breakfast." Absolutely insufferable this man I would have burned his eggs on PURPOSE!!!!

#I love Neelix so much and I think he and Tuvok are very funny together - irritating4irritating #People say 'Neelix is so pushy with Tuvok!' and you know what? I think Tuvok can handle it. I think maybe he does need to be pushed - #down a flight of stairs. (he's my favorite character and he's so annoying...TUVOK!!!!!) #Tuvok: -kicking and screaming- I don't want to drink the juice!!! It's poison!!! You're trying to poison me!!!!!!!!! #Neelix: Can you please drink the juice. The fresh squeezed juice I made for you Mr. Vulcan??? Can you please??? #Tuvok: Fine but if I die it's your fault. If I die from the poison you're FORCING me to drink it's on y- Oh this is delicious actually. #and don't tell me 'Neelix didn't make it SPECIFICALLY for Tuvok' bc I know he didn't but he says #'I'll start squeezing that second glass!' after Tuvok finishes his sip so he IS freshly squeezing it #Neelix: -makes Tuvok fresh squeezed juice- #Tuvok: Are you trying to poison me??? #Neelix: -talks to Tuvok while making his eggs- #Tuvok: Can you be quiet??? #<- TUVOK!!!!!!!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU EHHEHEHEH <3 #Tuvok is the most annoying guy ever bc he doesn't care about what people think and is a snob with a lowkey superiority complex #vs Neelix is perceived as annoying (post his relationship with Kes) bc he cares a lot about being useful and helping the crew and sometimes #is too pushy because of that but listen...I think Neelix is sweet and genuinely trying his best - after the Kes plotline with him ends I #really don't find him objectionable. Just chatty & a bit overbearing maybe Meanwhile Tuvok !!! #Meanwhile Tuvok!!!!!!!!! HHEHEHHE #st voyager #star trek voyager #I think they should have done more with Neelix thinking the crew of Voyager were spoiled - specifically how Tuvok acts Like That sometimes #little lord Tuvok. oH SORRY...for DEIGNING to speak while preparing your eggs your HIGHNESS!! #I think people do a disservice to Tuvok by not talking more about how he's kind of a hardass and a snob v_v also a disservice to Janeway #indirectly bc her bestie is kind of a hardass and a snob and what does that say about her?? #I also wish Neelix kept up a bit of that 'these people are crazy and also so soft oh my god shut up about the food being bad - we're trying #to SURVIVE!!! Eat the Leola Root!!' from the earlier seasons...I like when he shows he has a bit of bite #It's just funny and interesting that Janeway isn't friends with Tuvok bc he's 'not like other Vulcans' - she's friends with the most #Vulcany Vulcan ever and I love that for them. #CRIMINAL that we don't ever get any in-depth insight into their friendship #Tuvok

took me forever but i finally finished this couple thing for mattodore! @wldestluv-rs thank you for sending it to me 🫂

#river dipping #oc extras #theodore doe #matthias evanoff #a burning house to live in #echthroi #i meant to do this earlier but i wound up scrolling thru simblr instead and then was busy with other things #should i have done this for my other oc pairings too...? probably but then i'd have to take new character pics for them #maybe i'll update this in a few days with the rest... that's alessandria/delphi dionte/nicholas and imani/romeo... not that many but still #anyway while i was doing that middle section i blinked and was like man. this is all just matthias #i didn't want to leave any of it blank but i will say the cooking housework and driver sections aren't like. all the time. #bc matthias hires people for that. but at theo's apartment it's mostly matthias taking care of things bc theo is normally busy #and when he's with theo matthias prefers to drive them around himself... #and the transparency in the bar section is to show that it takes a long time for the bar to be filled to that point but it does get there #eventually whereas the solid parts are where they wind up just a few months into their..... situationship #also trying to pick a trope for them was SO hard and like. generalizing. like they're multidimensional!! you can't box them in like this!! #but in the end i just went with broad tropes i know are in their little story... the enemies bit really is totally one-sided tho #theo honestly just didn't like matthias bc again. theo makes snap judgments 🤷 #and ugh... slowburn my beloved. but fr everything abt their relationship is slow and at theo's pace #the day i finally start writing echthroi out like fr. in novel form. i knowwww that baby's gonna be bare minimum 150k kdvjnjdknjh #...also this means the only thing left on the to-do list from the other day is to write the response to that anon asking abt mattodore #and their routines before bed........ lord. why is my brain like mush now........

What exactly do I feel about 1899 like I am obsessed with it I would die for the characters it changed my brain chemistry but I also don't know if anything I learned about said characters is real AND THE WORST PART IS I'LL NEVER KNOW?????

#like there's so many theories and literally none of them sounds realer than the other #my trust issues run so high I'm 100% sure Daniel and Elliot aren't even real #I would be willing to bet they're somewhat of a safety measure to make sure Maura is awakened if things go to shit #I want to assume that the characters we saw in the room are also part of the development of the simulation too #BUT THEN. THEN. I saw someone say that maybe that spaceship is a simulation in itself too #like what even #something's up with Maura and Eyk ofc #I adore them and their chemistry is top tier I want them to be happy BUT #then again my trust issues run high with this show #I do believe they're actually married tho it makes sense to me #1899 #1899 netflix #honestly fuck Netflix I'll literally never know peace of mind ever again actually

the wanderer and furina story was beautiful!! i loved the little foreshadowing to dancing a waltz alone, which i read was furina dancing at the stage as the hydro archon all alone—but she’s not alone because scaramouche is there as well.

it was genius to have scaramouche see the funeral of furina and furina the funeral of scaramouche. i’m not sure if this is reading too much but the front part of the story hints at neuvilette controlling the rain, and the fact that it rained at the end… does it allude to how neuvilette was mourning for the death of what furina was (which was her act and the furina that he grew to know) but in the midst of people mourning the loss furina is freed and found a partner who understands her turmoil and they sort of relish in that fact they aren’t alone??? either way, i loved it and i would love more author’s commentary!

i don’t think this is particularly ooc too. — @apologems

for people who missed the context it is here

ehe (venti voice) thank you!!!!! wahhh this is such a sweet note 🥺 also i'm so glad you picked up on all the things i added in by chance and intentionally FDSKFJKDSJF it's good to hear they were expressed clearly enough!!

tbh both the waltz and the rain were kinda spontaneous BUT im very happy they both had their intended effects. i was thinking about that exact scene when writing the waltz line—it's such a good cutscene from the archon quest i had to refer to it. lowkey was also thinking about coppelia and coppelius, especially since they're a pair of dancers, based off a play about an almost human mechanical doll and the creator who fell in love with her... yeah. it's not 1:1 but the pieces are there. also yeah her and scara! it worked nicely as his intro, but I also wanted to show furina as someone who's suddenly alone, but slowly trying to live for herself.. in an empty ballroom there's nobody for whom to put on an act, and now she can dance only if she feels like it. she can also teach scara how to formal dance! and maybe his puppet body can finally control its own strings </3 also im sure she's been to some kind of fancy ballroom party before with neuvillette and maybe this just reminds her of the artificial foreignness that's estranged them now. oh furina my dear actress on the stage

i was so close to cutting out the rain at the end but i was like nooooooo i need the weather symbolism (incredible archetype btw i love weather), and furiously tried to figure out a good ending sentence. you basically got all my thoughts LOL i wanted people to make the connection between rain as rebirth and the washing away of old sins, but also like. the sky is crying. it is dreary and miserable and they're soaked to the bone but the last string connecting their present to their past has finally been dissolved, and now... maybe they're free to move on to sunnier days.. etc,,, i didn't think too much about neuvillette's role in this but what you said 100% works <3 im still unsure what he thinks of furina tbh so i didn't really elaborate DSKFJKSDJ. last thought about the rain: they both have a thing about crying, but the only thing wet during that scene was the rain—i guess i was trying to show like, neither furina nor scara think that this death is a bad thing, or maybe all the tears they could've shed already dried up. it's only other people who mourn for their pasts.

also i forgot but the fire was supposed to be a lowkey callback to when scara burned the house down when his unnamed child died. the entire theme i was kinda going for was like. a farewell to your past; no matter what happened before, maybe you can finally put it down, and leave it behind, live today unrestrained by yesterday's pain, etc.

if i was an animator this would've gone so much better because the scenes were so clear cut in my head. ideally the flow is like this: furina says she can see kabukimono. wanderer's face whitens in a flash, until he's the color of a sheet of paper and it's actually scary to look at. he recovers, says the line about his and furina's funeral. he steps closer to her and turns so that they're directly facing each other, faces like two feet apart. it cuts to a closeup of their faces, panning from furina's, neutral/apprehensive, to wanderer's, eyebrows furrowed, face set (entirely self centered anger that this, of all things, is fate's last laugh at him). and idk the light changes and makes his eyes glassier and more reflective, and furina sees her old self—the camera gets sucked into her reflection (like you're diving into the void) as her face warps in a terrible twisted way, maybe some blood idk; the camera zooms back out, furina breathes heavily, looking disturbed and a bit sick. wanderer is slightly off to the side and his face is blurred (the focus is on furina's slightly horrified face) but he's watching her closely and carefully, but without judgement. wanderer holds out his hand, and furina takes it, and immediately the hiss of the fire starts. its like one of those gigantic funeral pyres, wild and leaping and intense, and she watches the pile of kabukimono doll get smaller and smaller. somewhere in the middle a blackened chunk of something gets spit out (his heart), lands at their feet. the most important part is that after the fire burns itself out, the rain starts immediately. sudden downpour, very heavy etc. the viewer should feel a wave of Closure and Relief after the intensity of the burning. a slow waltz starts playing in the background, low, smooth, and very quiet. they just stand there, and the camera zooms out until they're just two dark blue/black smears against a blurry gray backdrop. end scene

also about the characterization: that's good I always wonder whether I'm leaning too much into my own writing voice instead of sticking closer to the character's canonical language register and mannerisms haha

#like sometimes i just make characters do things and then im like ah yes would this even happen? idk #it's worse when i can't hear them in my head and i've never listened to eng dub so like. i think i tend to forget how they might #act in canon. i'm also just too used to going off on my own interps for the other fandom fics ive written #teyvat thoughts #asks #apologems #hm. maybe i should be less heavyhanded about things but at the same time nah im always scared i'll add references and people wont get it #ahahaha........... i shouldve written some of these thoughts into the fic too. guess i still have thoughts oops #in general i really like stories centered on the self and the past as a person. like talking to your past self and things like that #su.zume is the only example rn that comes to mind that's like this but hhhh that trope is always good #furina #scaramouche #genshin impact

why are anime characters always from or going to California it's not even that cool over here

#I live and grew up on the California coast #Tho my town isn't beachside unfortunately u gotta drive like a town over is the closest #Anyway my point it's it's always California #Ashley Taylor is from California #Ushijima and iwaizumi both just end up in California together #There's others too I just can't think of them #Fuurai has that song about California #I know it's a cover but damn it's so fucking funny to be walking in my ghetto ass town and hear them sing about California #In anime and u speak English ur either a prince of a made up country or you're from california #magireco #magia record #haikyuu!! #fujin rizing #Tell me some more Californian anime characters in the comments below maybe I'll make a list or some shit

....how different from the original can an AU of a character be. asking for a me

#missy rambles #im extremely predictable and my brain wants potential deathclaw oc to be an au of Dal #but. as a deathclaw. it feels too far removed from original Dal to be considered a version of him #but also even if it wasn't an AU of him. i'd still style the deathclaw after him a LITTLE bit #because Dal is an amalgamation of my favorite character tropes so they end up repeating + i wanna use the name Rex. maybe #so it's like...... i might as well! but it's not fitting in my head #i think it's because deathclaws aren't people. and it's not as simple as ''Dal as a Deathclaw'' #like. i can do ''Dal as a dinosaur'' bc im not making lore for the dinosaur. it's temporary #''Dal as a dragon'' on FR has lore but is isolated. it's a fandragon and not really a character #but i'd want this oc to be a full Character #but it's funny bc i had no trouble accepting a Charr version of Dal when i made him in GW2 #but again. Charr are people. Deathclaws are animals (that can be GIVEN intelligence. but it's not the same thing. not the same origin) #idk idk #i'll think about other names and maybe something else will crop up #Woman who's only made AUs of her OC for the past 12 years rather than New Characters voice: I could make a Dal outta this

[lesbiankordian]

now why did dazai say here he wanted to ask chuuya sth 🧐🧐...? WHAT WAS THE QUESTION SUPPOSED TO BE?! like I know it'd be probably another joke but what would he say hadn't he made that joke...

#also yk when you're scared of ur feelings / don't want the other person to know sth so you start saying sth and then stop mid sentence? #not bc u didn't realize what u were saying but bc there was some hope maybe you'd hear what you wanted to hear #or just that you wanted to live in the fake reality for a moment and imagine yourself asking that not necessarily wanting an answer #yeah that's what happened here 😍 #no but tbh i think sth similar happened in ch 101 #but actually not similar ahhhh I'll make a post abt that #anyways WHAT WAS THE QUESTION SUPPOSED TO BE DAZAI I NEED TO KNOW 😭 #and don't tell me it would've been a joke i listened to one too many skk songs today #soukoku #bsd #okay actually im not finished bc this is another time where Dazai purposefully acts like a person / character in love with the other #(character bc how he does that is stereotypical. like an archetype from a movie) (the Book thoughts in my head rn) #so yeah like you don't say such a think to a random person or a colleague like THE BONDDDD god #and the fact chuuya really gets scared.... #remember in 15 when they first met and Dazai was like 'will you let me go... if I talk?' and then he said chuuya ought to drink more milk😐 #imagine if adult!Dazai's question was meant to be 'have u been drinking milk?' with that blank annoying expression of his #bungou stray dogs

JUST watched a video about the Afton's and I really love their British accents, but I've seen people dislike it so.... I'm curious. Reblogs or comments welcomed, I really want to know people's thoughts on this!

#fnaf #five nights at freddy's #Afton #the aftons #poll #I'll be honest I love them being british it feels intimidating and makes them unique amongst all the american accents. #I'm also notoriously known for liking British voice acting over American because rarities like the amazing work for the aftons and #final fantasy 16's whole bloody cast feel much more familiar and nicer to me. Probably because the amount of american accents I hear in.... #EVERYTHING feels like it's a little too much all the time. #I'm not british but maybe it's because my accent (being australian) is very close to it that I feel more connected to characters with #foreign accents rather than American. Plus I love the evil Bri'ish stereotype. #About that actually I love how Wiliam doesn't SOUND like a cliche British villain. He sounds just like any other bloke and it's terrifying. #Michael having that british accent that was well executed and full of emotion added LAYERS to his character #and ELIZABETH oh my god I can't imagine her with an american accent. #It's so weird to me that there's a chance that they're going the American accent route with the Afton's after so many years of bri'ish. #Was the yelling in the trailer (I believe) for Security Breach actually Afton talking to Vanessa or something? MF sounds like Monty #I have nothing against the new VA for William I'm just very confused and actually genuinely sad at the loss of PJ being William :') #Correct me if I am wrong and that voice ISN'T william (I could see it being spring bonnies voice instead??? kinda like how Baby is american #but I'm afraid we'll loose the british Aftons WAAA #ALSO ADDING TO THIS #It's driving me nuts who was the british lady in Matpats timeline video #WHO WAS SHE AND WHERE CAN I FIND HER VOICE AGAIN (Was it in the VR tapes?? I'M SO CONFUSED)
