#shell be gone

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

It's the 6 month anniversary of this blog! Check out these cool bugs I found.

Part 2 - Part 3

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #hollow knight #mdzs au #way too many characters to tag #'OP why?' Listen... It was either this or a Homestuck crossover. Which is still on the table btw. I've put thought into it. #Speaking of putting thought into things...I have put two full asses of effort into this. So I'm gonna talk about it in the tags. #I mapped all the major sects to hallownest clans and drew *way* more than just the characters shown here #More pertinently not shown are the Nies - Who are beetles! #The mantis clan has a lot of crossover with the Nies given the lore but I Love Mantis Wangji and you cant take him away from me. #wwx was a moth solely for his ties to Baoshen sanren (nearly forgotten sect & nearly forgotten clan) #but (HOLLOW KNIGHT SPOILERS) the ties to her radiance and the infection made for some very fun parallels #YLLZ moth 100% is puppeting husks around #JGS is a pale king expy becuase...you know....lots of children... #it also gives me a great excuse to explain wwx's soul taking mxy's body. #Still have lots and lots to say but I'm already running late! More funny - less specific to a very small population - comics to morrow! #This was more or less a style study and I learned a lot! #Thank you all for an awesome 6 months B*) You guys have pushed my way more out of my shell (pun intented) than I would- #-have ever gone had I just hidden away like I usually do. Thanks for all the support even with silly things like this <3

This would not leave my brain- Just Peaches picking up the bean like a plushie.

I was at first tempted to doodle your Wukong and Macaque in the background reacting to this lil bean having full-on stolen every single piece of their wife's love and attention lmao-

she totally would.

he's so small and cute, all he'd have to do is look at her with those big ol eyes and put his arms up. she's a sucker for a lil cutie.

#bad end wukong #twice as bad au #honestly you put a baby monkey in front of her shell be smitten #if the boys had just shown her the mountain and introduced her to the denizens shed have gone without a fight

random headcanon time because I just watched the episode, but Donnie's natural shell looks different in End Game than in the rest of the episodes (and I don't recall them having trouble making it color-consistent before), so I think that what they were trying to imply here that he got some kind of outer shell layer (proto-battle shell?) to not be in much disadvantage compared to his brothers

Splinter forbid him to use his tech but he still wouldn't want him to get hurt - so he's wearing some kind of durable shell cover here - it looks wooden when I now look at it?

#i talked about this on my twitter before but since that's gone i wanted to immortalize it here #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #they're pretty inconsistent with his belt but i strongly believe it's attached to his battle shell #and here to his protective shell #it's as big as leo's and mikey's too

i’m aware i’m 100% alone in this, but i genuinely adore ascended astarion (especially when romanced) because of how—frankly—horrific it is. it’s simultaneously so cathartic in its brutality but so unsatisfying personally while managing to be narratively satisfying (just as his other outcome is, of course).

#ophelia.txt #bg3 spoilers #the way he still has the shell of his old feelings for tav mirrored in his possessiveness of them. that alone does suggest that he’d #probably not subject them to the same overt cruelty that he suffered which makes it all far more dangerous and insidious. because what #humanity—in as much as it can be called thus—remained to him is gone. what made him HIM is gone and all that remains is an incredibly #powerful being who (if you got his scene after moonrise) hates them for letting him go through with it. he has no love left in him now. #only want and resentment and possessiveness. if he loves tav it’s the possessive and selfish love a child has for a toy. but he doesn’t #even respect them. he’s too paranoid now. too drunk on the power he has from his failure to break the cycle (which he. again. resents tav #for allowing). he said right out the gates that true vampires are never created. there’s only ever a sire and a spawn. and he views tav #letting him bite them as them degrading themselves. placing themselves as lesser than him and it’s the new baseline for how he’s going to #treat them because the man they loved is effectively gone. it makes me feel so unwell. i love ascended astarion like okay king of not #breaking the cycle 🙌🙌🙌

Honestly with things going the way they are and the whole symbolic aspect of the desert, I'm pretty convinced q!BBH is gonna have some kind of rebirth however not in the way people think.

We know he still has his plan at play, and we know that he said to q!Niki that he needs the Eggs to all be there for it mean anything.

That's why his memories seem to be getting better around Dapper but he is still "missing something".

He needs for the other Eggs to wake up to finally gain purpose again : acheiving his plan

Whatever that plan might entail

#qsmp #q!bbh #q!badboyhalo #bbh #badboyhalo #because if you think about it would make sense he would just be a shell when the eggs are gone because he basically lost his purpose #but when the eggs are all here his plan will finally mean something again and he'll be able to go through it

Once again I am screaming and crawling up the walls like Evil Dead over the fact that all the electricons grabbed onto Mare in Harbor Bay when she saw Cal’s body and the healer trying to resuscitate him.

Like everyone around her (except for her) knew her dumb ass was so in love with him that if he died she was going to go off like a fucking bomb and kill all of them and to avoid that they literally were fully prepared to either knock her out with their own ability or contain hers as much as possible.

Which just leads me to believe that if he had died, like if the healer had failed and he had died on the sand Mare would have turned immediately to Iris’s war ship and we would have gotten the duel of the fucking century. Because Iris would have been fighting to just survive and Mare would have been blindly fighting to kill at all costs in as painful of a manner as possible. And she would have taken so many lakelanders and nortian soldiers with her. So tbh, if Dane/the Scarlet Guard was smart, they would have let Cal die in that moment and they could have ended the whole thing in Harbor Bay.

#Just thoughts #red queen #glass sword #kings cage #war storm #war storm spoilers #mare barrow #listen she would have gone full OP boss mode #like... the choir version of her theme playing in the background as she goes after Iris OP boss mode #boss room music would have started playing #and Iris would have started sweating #you cannot deny it #I just think it's neat that her rage would have been fueled by Cal's death #like it's just so them #Cal: I would die for you #mare: I would kill for you #like that is their relationship in a nut shell #I think about this moment all the time #like I can see it on a screen in my mind #like silence with just Mare's heartbeat as she slowly sinks to her knees with the electricons just out of focus behind her grabbing on #and then all the sound comes back right after we see Cal inhale but the sound is Mare's inhale #its a jarring change from peaceful silence of Mare's slow and steady heartbeat as she watches the healer try to resuscitate him to SOUND #there can be muffled sounds around her while she watching #as a treat #I just think film is neat #it's my film degree speaking right there

#i walked into a situation today where my mom was effectively already dead. effectively bc her body was and is still alive. still breathing #painful groaning purrs. but her mind was gone yesterday. my dad said he showed her a picture of the mountains i took that day and told her #i loved her and she smiled. thats what he said. maybe he was just being nice. or maybe thats the last time she thought of me. i dunno. but #the human body is an incredible thing. shes got a heart still powering a broken body. too full of tumors to function anymore. stomach #streched like a pregnant mother. it happed really fast and now its happening very slow #im somehow probably better off than the rest of them. i only got here for the aftermath of a downslide. my daily life will b least effected #i only really saw her twice a year living so far away and she didnt text much. didnt call often. so life wont change much ill just kno shes #not there. which is sad. but theres nothing to b done abt it. life goes on. it hasnt been all bad tho. its nice to talk to my family abt her #how incredible she was. bc she was. wish her mom wasnt here tho. she doesn't deserve to b here. my mom wouldnt want her here. she didnt want #her here. but anyway. i wish her body would just let her go now. so we can sleep. so this can be over. so she can rest #but even like this shes stubborn and resilient. they say it could go on for days but i hope not. may the universe let her rest shes gotta b #so tired after 10 years of this. but i have no regrets. she knew how i felt abt her. and i dont think she had regrets either. she did so #much up to the very end. went out on a high note without the burdon of knowing it was coming #i dunno. its just such a strange experience to watch the empty shell of your mother sleeping like a gurgling baby #unrelated

It is devastatingly unfair, so wildly unkind, that a love this magical is cursed to spend a decade in purgatory, ripped apart by the cruelty of distance.

every day i wake up and think "maybe today is the day i open my bullets cd" and it never is but we're getting closer i can feel it

#i think the trouble is that i have it set up so nice in the bullets shrine i dont wanna take it out #bc then the central piece from the shrine will be gone and shell be rmpty #tho now that i think about it i could fix the problem of not having room for the vampites flexidisc #i could take the cd out and replace it with her instead since i am definitely never playing that... #hmmmm much to consider

[wayward-sherlock]

thinking abt how someone’s gonna die next season but all of the characters have such complex relationships with each other that no matter what it’s going to hurt real fucking bad.

#steve dies : dustin and robin and nancy fucking lose it #max dies : lucas is a shell of himself. el has no strong female friends in her life anymore. steve loses a sister. erica loses her brother. #dustin dies : og party is gone. steve loses his little brother. robin gets left with whatever steve still has after grieving #will dies : not even going there. he’s not dying. #el dies : she’s not dying. she’s not #mike dies : where do i even start. where do i even start. nancy thinks she’s not good enough to keep anyone important to her alive. - #- jonathan loses pieces of nancy and will. will loses…he loses a huge fucking part of himself. el loses her first love and a friend. lucas.. #nancy. jonathan. lucas. robin. erica. even argyle. #any of them die and everyone else is gonna go insane with grief. #plus the grief of losing something that defined their early years? that shit’s hard #feeling like they lost their entire childhood to this realm of monsters but missing it when it’s gone because they don’t know how to live - #- normal lives anymore. how do they move on? how do they continue in a world that’s indifferent and ignorant to their sacrifice? #sigh. #stranger things #st5 #wayli goes insane #wayli’s feeling sad today. sorry guys. #🫧🪴 #🚲

Now that I'm older, every time some form of media is adapted in a new format (book to movie, videogame to tv series, animation to live action, etc.) I always take the criticisms of it with a grain of salt because I feel like what it means to adapt successfully means something different to everyone.

I always feel like people want an exact 1:1 adaptation but fail to realize the nuance that comes with each form of adaptation. Sure you can break every piece of media down by like, setting, character, and plot, or specific story beats or even down to specific physical details but people fail to realize how this is going to read to the consumer across different forms.

Scenes that are in a first person point of view in say, a book, are going to read different than a scene of a movie, which similar to a play or show on a stage need to be designed in a way the consumer can digest.

In a book, you can slowly be fed information as it is deemed necessary to the story. Details can be intentionally left out, leading to inaccurate judgements that can snowball into larger consequences. With movies or television, as soon as you see the scene or characters, you're seeing them as the whole bigger picture. The details are either there or they aren't, a faster judgment can be made, more meaning can be inferred by visuals, so a character's motivation becomes more of a driving point. A plot element intentionally left out in a book, can alienate the consumer if not properly handled in a movie or television setting, and part of adapting that piece of media is ensuring it's done properly, and I feel like people don't understand that. The art of adaptation is how consistent purpose can be conveyed while adhering to the rules of the established media.

It seems people just want, "the same thing" as a book, tv show, or a movie, videogame, comic, animated version, or in a live action version and it just Doesn't Work Like That.

Each form of media has their own rules of what 'works' and a good story will utilize those unique aspects of that form of media to tell the story; but the method of how that story is told has to change in order for it to be a successful adaptation.

#idk im ranting #thinking specifically of: #the last of us #the hunger hames #gone girl #batman in all its versions #marvel comics vs movies #romeo and juliet the baz luhrmann one #fleabag #the xmen movies #shitty anime adaptations too like ghost in the shell #or any Disney animated film to their live-action versions #v for vendetta #mario #the mario movie #mortal kombat #lara croft #resident evil is another one that can be studied in depth and that's just game to game with the new remakes #adaptations are fun and i think people are too hard on them or just don't know what they're talking about half the time
