Anderperry fans hyper-analyse ever micropixel in dead poets society by watching it 12 times a day then try to find a reason why there is no happiness in their lives.

where: seascape nye. who: open.

Bradley was very aware of her surroundings, had to be. Being a public figure truly brought all kinds of things to your front door — or in this case, your hotel —.

"Please tell me I just imagined Michael Myers over there."

She hadn't, mask straight out of spirit halloween and straight into seascape was not what she'd expected when the Banners had agreed to host this event.

you chose 🔴! ship: zimbits, word: road

“You on the run or somethin’?” The guy’s no taller than Jack’s car and is eyeing Jack down with something resembling…intrigue, maybe. Skepticism, more likely. His wayfarers make it hard for Jack to read him, but he hasn’t kicked Jack in the groin and run off with his keys yet, so he’s no more of a threat than the signage saying the next gas station isn’t for another fifty miles. “No,” Jack says, carefully, crossing his arms in some lame attempt to come off threatening himself. He flexes them in the process once or twice, and from the way the guy's eyes linger before skirting away, it must work. “Just going for a drive, is all.” “A drive, huh.” The guy clasps his hands behind his back and leans against the pump, no longer looking at Jack, instead staring off across the prairies to where the looming mountains break the horizon. “Headed anywhere in particular?” Jack peers at him for a long moment, wondering why he’s here, why he’s in the middle of Montana talking to a gas station clerk when he should be in Montreal shaking hands with the Aces’ GM, before he tears his gaze away as well. “No,” he eventually says, again. “Billings was the plan, but now I’m just following the open road. I guess I’ll know it when I get there.” It’s nearing evening, the dying light washing the pavement in a warm orange. A lone truck sputters along the highway, coming and going, and in its echo the guy asks, “Aren’t we all?” It’s a subdued question, really, a far-off voice caught fluttering in diesel smoke and wind. Jack doesn’t give an answer.

Or – Jack doesn’t overdose. Instead, he packs a bag and grabs his keys and starts driving, thinking that if he could just get away for a bit, he’ll be able to come back and handle the pressure, the press, the somewhat damning reality of being Bob Zimmermann’s son. He doesn’t anticipate reaching Detroit, crossing the border, driving past the lakes and across the plains. He doesn’t anticipate shucking his phone into a trash can in Wisconsin after it rings for the three-hundredth time.

He just drives and drives, listening to whatever local radio station he can find and thinking about all the ways he officially, royally fucked up.

Somewhere in Montana, he stops for gas and meets Dicky (read: Eric Richard “Bitty–that ain’t a play on my size, y’know” Bittle). He’s a low-lying, gaudy gas station clerk with big eyes and the tendency to talk with his hands, who drawls his vowels out like he’s supposed to be much further south than where Jack finds him, who grates on every one of Jack’s nerves, who somehow just gets Jack on a fundamental level that no one has ever done before.

On a whim, the two end up driving together to Billings, in part because Dicky has been needing to go to the city and mostly because Jack’s just tired of driving alone. Dicky fills the car with nonsensical chatter, pries into why Jack is taking a cross-country trip outside of his country ("Hon, your accent ain't foolin' no one"), and maybe Jack slowly finds himself wanting to lean over the center console to kiss the toothy grins right off Dicky's face as he gushes over lemon meringue pie.

He doesn't, but he wants to, and that's enough for him to book separate rooms in the tacky motel they stop at that night.

They don’t know it yet, but they need each other, moreso than Jack needs the NHL and Dicky needs…whatever the hell it is he needs in the city (read: a plane ticket home that he can’t afford). It’d be a clichéd fic chronicling their story of acceptance and healing and “finding love on the open road” and whatnot, and if I had the willpower to write it in its entirety, I’d do so in a heartbeat.

#oops this got way longer than i anticipated #but hey the creative juices started flowing! yay! #also let's just pretend bitty is jack's age in this universe #because i didn't remember their five-year age gap until i wrote this entire thing #this is the consequence of me exploring a canon divergence that takes place *before* samwell #there's also Reasons why bitty first introduces himself as dicky but i haven't found them yet #as well as why he's in the middle of Montana #omgcp #zimbits #my writing

I edited France’s character in my Ghostalia au!

To kind of call back to aph episode 10 - I was thinking that Amelia kinda looks like some historical depictions of Jeanne d’Arc and how perfect it was that I already had Francis in Thomas’s role! That said, I have Notes:

Francis was a scribe in life. He worked for the French Crown and was assigned to document Jeanne d’Arc’s life and battles. He grew close to her and was present at her trial and execution. He died some years later, in the early 1500′s, while visiting England with his then current assignment. He was killed by his assignment’s sword after discovering he was an English sympathiser and was disavowing Jeanne’s name and efforts for the French kingdom. Francis died defending someone he loved and now Amelia has arrived at the Kirkland estate and she just looks so similar.

I’m not sure if Francis would have had romantic feelings for Jeanne but being dead for more than 500 years then suddenly seeing someone who is practically identical to someone you were so close with in life will make feelings confusing...

#i think i accidentally made an even more tragic character than thomas himself oops #ghostalia au #bbc ghosts #aph france #hws france #nyo america #aph america #hws america #also in case it wasnt glaringly obvious the bottom images are taken from screengrabs of ghosts ep 1 #I did find it kinda funny how it just so happened that it was pat and robin in that shot since i have spain and prussia in their roles #so we have a cameo of the btt 😆 #anyways i actually put some effort into this one so i hope people will like it 😭 #ALSO and this will be in a later post idk when maybe tomorrow maybe the day after i dont wanna promise anything #but i swapped germany and england around #so now germany is in caps role and we'll have nyo england as fanny #I think it makes waaaaaay more sense idk why i had it the other way around in the first place #my art #artists on tumblr #just realising now that I forgot to add a fucking chair to that doodle to the left of the screengrab drawings 😭😭😭 #let's just pretend hes on a stool lmao

Hey wait, I should repost (and elaborate on) my observations and headcanons that I was posting on twitter while the Redfall account was posting promo videos leading up to launch. Leaving out the now-obvious theorizing and cult symbol recognition, it's mostly...no, uh, it's all just Devinder stuff, whoops. (His primary outfit still baffles me in some ways. Also, adding a few things I've noticed in-game so far.)

First, observations:

he's got sharply-square-toed calf-boots (in all his outfits, but especially the default) and I am thoroughly jealous perfect blend of practical with formal vibes, amazing shape without giving up the traction of a good rubber boot sole I NEED THEM

he has three stickers on the back of his phone (in the announcement trailer): one like his UK Cryptid Association patch, one that's a cartoony caped vampire with sunglasses, trying to hide from some bright flashes that says "NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY," and a round one with a simple eye that says "TRUTH SEEKER" along the top (and has a sentence around the bottom, but it's too small and blurry for me to make out, to my eternal lamentations)

his buttons are on the "wrong" side of his shirt when his collar is open (but with the attention to detail otherwise present from the devs, and the fact that they're like that in-game AND the announcement trailer, perhaps it was deliberate and they're magnetic buttons?)

he doesn't appear to be using belt loops in his hero trailer (though he definitely does in the Casual Hunter outfit, so they just probably weren't on that fancy model)

his standard belt is nylon with a quick-release buckle, which is also the buckle style on his backpacks (including the leather one)

his Dapper outfit has a nerdy leather shoulder harness with two pouches, one for his cell phone on his left side, and a paper journal with pen on the right (which would be hidden if he wore a jacket, but per the description of the outfit, "no jacket required")

while there are buckles on the front of said harness, there's also lobster-claw clasps on the back as an alternate release mechanism and very subtle pun

his primary outfit's gloves have a small gold fleur-de-lis printed on the end of the velcro strap, whereas his dapper outfit has driver's gloves with a snap strap

he has orange gloves(?) in his primary outfit, under his leather gloves, which are at least long enough to go well under his sleeves so no skin peeks out (what is this? why does he seem to have layered gloves? are they neat-colored compression gloves? or does he have ballroom-length gloves that match his silk scarf "a gift from [his] parents" awwww, so he can just doff the jacket and leather gloves at any time for a quick dapper look? presumably not, since he removes them for his casual outfit, but I just ??? truly baffling)

attended New College in Oxford doing the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE) course (which is apparently a 3-year thing), plus spending "the better part of a decade" cryptid-hunting...if we assume he started hunting after finishing his schooling, and that range being around 7-10 years, he's probably...somewhere between 28-31, maybe? could be younger if there's overlap between them, could be older if he didn't immediately dive directly into each thing

calls his viewers "Dev-iners" how cute is that I love it

seems to be titling his adventures in Redfall as "Delving Into Darkness"

clearly a Doctor Who fan (quotes include "allons-y!" after falling, and "don't blink" when he uses his Blacklight—and his first dapper suit being blue-and-brown could also be a subtle reference along with the fact that he has both a wristwatch and a pocketwatch as a potential "time lord" reference, unless that chain attaches to some other nerdy trinket)

he has written and recorded notes as the descriptions of two legendary weapons (that I've seen), as follows:

Clacker (electric pistol, blue and yellow funky little thing):

Hey Remi! I don't know where you found this thing, looks like it was assembled by an Elwetritsch after a 3 day bender. One of those cultists with more thumbs than sense, no doubt. But I pulled it apart and fixed up a few contacts so the chance of fatally shocking yourself is minimized (note my word choice). Now it's like a little cousin to my Javelin. You know, it's kind of cute now that I'm looking at it. -- D

Snipe Hunter (stake launcher, an unpainted version of what he had in the announcement trailer, with sharpie-scribbled notes in several places on it):

Crousley Tapes (Private) Cortana Suggested Title: "It's a cloudy day and I'm thinking of my mum" [VOICE REC BEGINS] "Note to self, something to file away for later. Whenever it turns foggy like this, like sodden grey cotton, I think of mum. When I was a kid she said that I had a big imagination. Unlike a lot of people, she meant it as a compliment. I saw things, things other people simply missed. But she told me to always trust myself. Sounds easy, but every day since then I've tried to live up to that." [VOICE REC ENDS]

Which leads to: headcanons!

he's the oldest in the group (because Jacob's timeline is fuzzier to me, and Jacob asking "your parents okay with these little field trips of yours?" in Dev's hero trailer is SO much funnier to me if Dev's the oldest)

has chronic pain in (at least) his hands (possibly from piano plus frequent fiddly tinkering, or just General Fuckery that happens for some folks regardless of age—and I assume it's mild to moderate/otherwise fluctuates, since he's clearly not slowing down with tinkering, and is capable of at least short tunes on piano)

specific reasoning/potential evidence for the above includes but is not necessarily limited to: possible compression gloves, quick-release buckles, maybe magnetic buttons, plus the clasps on the back of his nerdy dapper harness (they may be how he does easier release when he struggles with the buckles? assuming his other joints aren't borked, because they're behind him? I'm less clear on if they're actually practical though)

neurodivergent as all get-out (is this even a headcanon, it feels like it's been self-evident from the second he showed up, though the specifics are up to interpretation)

trans/nonbinary because why not, I'm already out here projecting, and he layers enough for the vibe, also "TRANSlocator" puns

bi? ace? monsterfucker? etc.? I don't know, I need to see if anything specific comes up in dialogue at all but he is just so very queer as is the whole cast it's great

he clearly used some research he did into the psychic Nests(/the dream-like Trance) to create his (literally-)dreamy Quantum Kerfuffle decoy (the final Translocator skill), because holy SHIT does that thing draw in every vampire within what I swear is the same radius a Nest covers, it's the most beautiful hazard on the entire island

#redfall #devinder crousley #headcanon #long post #parentheticals abound #I'd be sorry but #I don't know how else to communicate 2+ simultaneous thought threads #also I thought his university schooling would've been longer oops #I was thinking he could be anywhere from 30-40-ish #I'm also working on a(n unrelated) small silly comic #which I will post on my artblog when I finish #I'm trying to remember how to let things stay sketchy so I can finish anything ever #because I've still got a bit of burnout #but it has already taken a couple days of fiddling around oops #look I had to set the scene and the scene is a ravine #with a lot of bodies in it #drawing rocks in (pretend) perspective and multiple people (even tiny) takes time to figure out

[vonlipvig]

my sincerest apologies to the person i just unfollowed even though i was only following for less than an hour. to tell you the truth, i think i only followed you because i put my finger on my phone absentmindedly while thinking about something else and when i came back i was deep into a reblog chain far away from my dash having liked at least two posts on the way. if it makes you feel better, it's more embarrassing for me than it should be for you. yep. sorry.

#i was like who is this i have no idea #and yeah. sorry. i touched a lot of things apparently. oops. #it's embarrassing but the longer i think about it the more awkward it will be so lets pretend it never happened jfjfkdkkdkd #according to jules

@movepastit replying to ur sunny blog bc it won't let me reply to ur main?? anyway making this a separate post bc i waaay overexplained things (link to op for anyone else that's curious)

ive actually mostly just read stuff on here & on letterboxd (which I guess does have a few critics but I think i mostly just saw stuff from regular users)! but he's said that one of his reasons for making the film was that comedies (esp older styles of comedies that the film was influenced by) are going away. the types of films shown in the movie changed to completely different eras as the movie progressed representing how the film industry has changed throughout his career irl (credit to some ppl on letterboxd who were smart enough to actually have specific examples for that observation) and showing/poking fun at how they move through trends with franchises as the current trend. a lot of people online have talked about how franchises have influenced writing (& blame them for pushing comedies out of theaters), and i definitely think that some of the resistance to the aspects of the movie that were influenced by older films (like I mentioned in my last reblog lol) is showing that audience expectations have changed around this & similar modern writing trends.

also... I've seen a few older film fans online saying that they love the films he's influenced by & that they're pissed off that he'd compare his work to theirs... which to me shows that people love to complain that about types of films they used to like not being made but are resistant to movies/directors that try to do those things (or really, movies trying different things period).

hopefully i didn't overexplain that too much lol. both these are definitely things that get said a lot i feel. sidenote: the only reason I know so much stuff abt this is bc I was so worried I wasn't gonna like the movie that I went out and watched a bunch of stuff that was mentioned in interviews abt it to get a better idea of what it was (& I'm glad I did but I still missed half the references in it lol).

#i feel like i just wrote down some complaints that an old man would make but in essay format lol #but i do genuinely wonder if i hadn't gone out and watched a bunch of stuff in anticipation if i wouldve gotten it at all #(which is maybe another potential criticism? lol oops) #but there's something here i think #thanks for letting me pretend i know what im talking about :)
