#tales to be told

"It is a truth, often forgot, that the end is very rarely the end."

This was a fun lineup to do! The closeups are below the cut, and I've put design details/reasoning in the alt text. I rambled a bit this time, I hope people don't find that annoying.

#artists on tumblr #digital #sfw #lineup #alice in wonderland #alice #the mechs #the mechanisms #the mechs alice #tales to be told #i really put a lott in the alt this time. I just like talking about the thought process #also as mentioned i have worked on this bad boy intensely for like 3 days #sidenote!! did you know that if you draw the underlying anatomy #the clothes will look better? #wild. And totally unfair. because now i actually have to draw all that stuff #anyway I really want to draw Lyssa and Actea too. And Arachne and Athena! #annnnd i should draw the Puppetshades lineup.

So like, listen, Lucky Sevens, am I right?

💫 When the DrumBot misses his first beat, he knows exactly what it means. He considers briefly the fire and bloodshed of his compatriots, but in the end the only thing that feels right is to complete the cycle. And so he casts himself into the void. His body will float there forever, far beyond the warmth of stars. 💫

DrumBot is so important to me.

me: in “teatime with the kaiser”, the last song in gunpowder tim vs. the moon kaiser, the music is mostly a mix of guitar, bass, and drums behind jonny’s lyrical narration. after the line “tim looked the soldier in the eye / and he gave the order, ‘FIGHT!’” the music is joined by the glockenspiel, which is specifically one of the only instruments played by the toy soldier. in the part of the story where the soldier was brought into the fight, the song itself brings the soldier into the music!

the unsuspecting victim i have cornered in the alleyway: *sobbing* what do any of those words meeaan

Im sorry but Jonnys post patricide solo in One Eyed Jacks is so bad it makes me laugh everytime i listen to it.

Wow this guy is so badass.... (The most devious ear-tearing nauseating harmonica solo you've ever heard in your life)

...nevermind

obsessed with the implication that the City (udad) is fine with trans people but not with lesbians

this means i have to discard my 'transfem raphaella was kicked out of the City for being trans', it's now 'transfem raphaella was kicked out of the City for being a massive dyke' which is both sad and hilarious

hc the natural new texas accent just sounds like the worst southern accent known to man. sheriff stone was just jonny dropping the british accent

What if...

...Jonny at some point left, finding himself on a small asteroid. Backwater, some may call it.

What if at some point he had sustained an injury, perhaps to the eye.

What if he opened a bar, tempting fate for that fight he knew would end him. A bar that grew in size, until it was a casino as well.

What if he became known in this community, the establishment being known for its cards, for its one eyed owner with a name that started with a J. Was it James? Jack?

What if he met a young man at this bar, a man he knew. All at once he knew what he had to do.

What if he sent this young man, this boy out to do some tasks for him. Paying off his father's debts, Jonny tells this boy.

What if the boy returns one day with a coldness in his eye and a ticking in his heart. Jonny tells him it's for the best, parroting the words he was told so long ago.

What if he understands, all those centuries ago, the words said to him. It was for the best, for those lifetimes of adventure, for his crew, his family.

What if the boy can't see it in this moment. It dosen't matter anymore, Jonny's already played his part. He is shot, not that the bullet would kill him, not yet.

What if the bar burns around him, a falling piece of wooden beam peircing his heart. He can feel it in his bones, this is it.

What if, in his last moment, Jonny smells the smoke and thinks of Ashes. Remembers Tim as the smoke stings his eyes. Wonders if this lightness within him is what Raphaella felt when flying.

What if Jonny laughs, anger and joy and sorrow and humor and disbelif and relief all rolled into one. This backwater asteroid, where Jonny Vangelis D'ville ends his tale.

A backwater asterioid.

His beginning, and his end, all in the very same moment.

What if?
