#theme: heist

[polarisbear]

more dweebs (Very detailed image description below.)

a drawing of grian, ethoslab, tangotek, and smallishbeans. grian is in his season 10 fishing skin and the rest are in different outfits referencing their base themes.

grian is in his fishing skin looking very tired with his fishing rod swung over his shoulder and an ear pierced with a brassy fish hook. he’s a cod hybrid with fin-ears and a stubby tail. behind him blue snail is munching on some leaves.

etho is posing with a neck sheepishly behind his neck and the other resting on his bag. he’s in the postal uniform polo with a green, canadian maple-themed yukata loosely worn and slipping off his shoulder. he has fingerless gloves on under. he is wearing dark red pleated pants and light green heeled crocs. he has a black and red messenger bag with a trellis motif. etho is an arctic fox hybrid with brown legs and streaks through his hair. doodles below show what his paws look like under the crocs and one shows him posing with a note saying “ties up sleeves.” above him another note reads “streaks bc his winter coat is shedding.”

tango is posing confidently with a wrench. he is in the postal uniform polo, with chunky brown and orange gloves and boots, topped off with red, pinstriped overalls. one strap is not around his shoulder, and on the belt around the overalls they carry a small bag, a screwdriver, and a vial of redstone. he has on brown goggles with blue lenses. tango has fire for hair and pointed ears. above him there’s a doodle of the messenger bag that’s secured on his back. it shows how the orange straps tuck over the whole outfit and lead to a dark red and pinstripe blue bag with cog detailing.

joel is giving an indignant pose like he’s complaining. he is wearing a black undershirt that fades out into his light green claws, a pink kimono with only one sleeve of cherry blossom patterns, and a dark grey vest and cherry blossom-patterned obi tie it off. the vest has a cherry blossom crest on the back. joel also has on dark pink pants with a cherry blossom motif on the bottom and on his left arm there’s a bracer with a screen built in. crawling all over the undershirt there are cybernetic patterns connecting joel’s skin through to the undershirt. joel is a tanuki, hence why he has a leaf on his head. around joel are doodles showing the crest on the back of his vest and the pattern on the sleeve.

#hermitcraft #grian #ethoslab #tangotek #smallishbeans #art archive #image id in alt text #LORD okay another set done #i’ll post the mail team together at some point but i wonder if you can figure out what their uniform is :) #uhhhhh tanuki joel is Directly from #melloz heist #maybe i’ll make a doodle comic later #but bc etho is in such a warm biome his winter coat is shedding #so he’s a lil brown #didn’t draw it but the base of his tail is also brown #ik bird grian is popular #but i think a cod fishman fishing is way funnier #oh and the cherry blossom theme with joel is 1) cherry magic mountain and 2) lizzie pink :)

What's your favorite sneaking around music (e.g., Pink Panther theme, Mission: Impossible theme)?

Great question!

I'd say Mission: Impossible is not sneaking around music, it's heist music, and mmmaybe taking itself a bit too seriously. Too much competence implied for my tastes, too much action and epicness, and way too much (and fully underserved, since this is some Cold War bullshit) self-righteousness. A great and iconic theme, just not for our purposes.

Meanwhile, The Pink Panther Theme is 100% trickster music. I don't think there's even been another melody that captures so perfectly the concept of sneaking, but who's doing the sneaking? A trickster, for sure! So the music is all sleight, playful and light-footed and irreverent, and at no point is it remotely tempted to take itself seriously. And if you hear it and expect the graceful and precise balancing act of the most elegant jewel thief in the world to be immediately followed by a fucking piano falling on the hapless Inspector Clouseau's head like some Looney Tunes shit, well the theme did its job, because that's what it's supposed to evoke. 10/10, insurpassable.

I've always said that Henry Mancini was a genius (also notable for the Peter Gunn theme and Victor/Victoria). That said, Lalo Schifrin is also brilliant (he scored Cook Hand Luke! and Bullitt! and Enter the Dragon!), so yay for both of them.

Finally, I think we should give an honourable mention to The Pirates of Penzance where WITH CAT-LIKE TREAD UPON OUR PREY WE STEAL *keeps singing at the top of her lungs*

With cat-like tread upon our prey we steal In silence dread our cautious way we feel No sound at all, we never speak a word A fly's foot-fall would be distinctly heard

So stealthily the pirate creeps While all the household soundly sleeps

Come friends who plough the sea Truce to navigation, take another station Let's vary piracy with a little burglary

Here's your crowbar and your centre bit Your life preserver, you may want to hit Your silent matches, your dark lantern seize Take your file and your skeletonic keys

With cat-like tread upon our prey we steal In silence dread our cautious way we feel No sound at all, we never speak a word A fly's foot-fall would be distinctly heard

Come friends who plough the sea Truce to navigation, take another station Let's vary piracy with a little burglary

WITH CAT-LIKE TREAD UPON OUR PREY WE STEAL IN SILENCE DREAD OUR CAUTIOUS WAY WE FEEL

COME FRIENDS WHO PLOUGH THE SEA TRUCE TO NAVIGATION, TAKE ANOTHER STATION LET'S VARY PIRACY WITH A LITTLE BURGLARY

WITH CAT-LIKE TREAD UPON OUR PREY WE STEAL IN SILENCE DREAD OUR CAUTIOUS WAY WE FEEL

omg!! please share what other heist films you watched, that’s such a fun idea. and which was your fav!!!!

i would love to share my watchlist for heist week!! all are films before 1970, because i wanted to watch heists new to me, but i'll also include some modern heist movies i love at the bottom!

The Asphalt Jungle (1950) — the granddaddy of the heist genre. it's really good! and it has every aspect of the heist (the planning, the execution, and the fallout), which i love.

The Lavender Hill Mob (1951) — so goofy and fun. features fantastic Alec Guinness performance and some great screwball elements (one of the final sequences reminded me a lot of the climax of What's Up, Doc.)

Ocean's Eleven (1960) — eh. I felt the problems were threefold: 1) took forever just to get to the heist, 2) all the guys looked the same and most did not have a defining role in the heist, and 3) Hay's Code ending. It's not terrible, but not worth watching when there is a far superior remake.

The League of Gentlemen (1960) — i can often be found on letterboxd bemoaning the fact there is probably an alternate universe where monty python made a heist movie and we're not in that universe. but! this film is definitely the closest we're gonna get. similar to the lavender hill mob in that they're both very british and very, very funny. really loved the level of shenanigans going here.

Gambit (1966) — my favorite of the week! it's a smaller heist (three person crew), but the film really plays with the idea of expectation vs. actual execution, and the assumptions white british guys make about, among other things, everyone who is not also a white british guy. bonus: shirley maclaine and michael caine have incredible chemistry. a great watch! highly recommend!

The Thomas Crown Affair (1968) — love when hot people commit crimes and other hot people try to stop them. the pacing here is a bit wonky, but it has a slick, sexy opening sequence and i'll never say no to a cat and mouse game. the heisting is definitely secondary though, just so you know that going in.

All the Heists I Loved Before: The Killing (1956), The Italian Job (1969), Sneakers (1992), Ocean's 11 (2001), Inception (2010), The Town (2010), Logan Lucky (2017), American Animals (2018), Ocean's 8 (2018)

#ask #i actually do these little theme weeks a lot and i love planning them #so if anyone is ever curious about what else i'm watching or wants a watchlist based around a certain theme please hit me up! #also i didn't include the usual suspects or reservoir dogs in my other heist movies list #just because they're so unconventional it's hard to justify calling them true heist movies #but i love them both as well!

throwback to this vid I made of our party experiencing the aftermath of the cassalanter ball from waterdeep dragon heist. first pc death! he got better tho <3

In another life (vanilla), you had a less than stellar night on the 15th, so it’s time to make it up in this one.

#Did rank 6 on the night before the heist so themeing…….. #we let him relax before he kills someone and then we treat and reward him after #because fuck that guy i’m supposed to feel sorry for him? i don’t #(i do feel bad for haru tho like that’s a lot of stress and complex emotions)

[a-dotrivenitupontop]

fuck your horoscope what do you refer to each genre in the afterparty season two as

#the afterparty #crazy how you can call an episode anything between ‘regency’ and ‘jane austen period romance drama a la pride and prejudice’ #except ig sebastians episode that only really gets called ‘heist’ plain and simple #“yeah episode four is a twee indie flick inspired mainly by wes anderson (particularly the royal tenenbaums) with queer coming of age theme #and a short claymation sequence to homage films like isle of dogs and fantastic mr fox. in episode five they steal shit.” #god ill forever be blown away by how well the s2 genres were done <33

Also the idea of Kaito possibly having a Palace is spinning in my head. But I'm also a lil bit unsure of it cuz how distorted for one's desires to be for a Palace to manifest? Like, I feel like Kaito is nearly there, maybe. He'll be in a similar position to Futaba.

For the people that doesn't know much bout Kaito lore, basically an accident happened in one of his dad's magic shows (his dad a magician) and has been presumed to be dead for years then Kaito found a secret area in his house and turns out his dad was actually Kaito KID and then Kaito decided to take up his mantle to be the new Kaito KID to find out what really happened with his dad and then later found out that a secret organization is after him.

That secret org is looking for a special powerful gemstone called "Pandora" which is hidden inside another gemstone that no one knows which and the only way to know if Pandora is in a gemstone is by holding up that gem to the moonlight. If there's a red dot in the gem then that means Pandora is in there. And now Kaito puts on heists to steal gems when the moon is out to get to Pandora first before that organization.

Which is also why after he does his heists he'd leave the gemstone somewhere the cops can see or just anonymously mail it back to em if it isn't the right one. And like Kaito KID is an international criminal (the reason why it's KID too is cuz the number 1412 which was the number assigned by authorities was read as KID and it just stuck).

What was I talking bout again? Anyway this post just became an infodump with what else I know bout Kaito KID. Also like, imagine being 16/17 later learning that your dad was an international criminal, decided to take on the Kaito KID persona cuz you're still skeptical bout his disappearance, then later found out that a dangerous secret organization was after your dad, that you thought had died years ago but then later found ANOTHER person that has a similar outfit scheme as you but it's Black instead and now there's actually a possibility that your dad is still alive somewhere. How insane is that? I wouldn't even be surprised if Kaito did end up having a Palace at this point.

#aria rants #also his mom is a thief too which is also infamously known #i think she has a ''horror'' theme to her? cant remember cuz she barely appeared in the anime #thats the thing too like kaito has a mom that is living far away smwhr like #this boy is horribly neglected. also have i said he watched someone die too? #he has baggage yall. but he still chose to be kind like man. i actually love him #i feel like i derailed horribly from this whoops... #anyway like PALACE!!! if kaito ever gets one itd be like... magic themed i think #both his parents are magicians. hes a magician. it runs in the family #also am unsure if his dad put on grandeur magic shows as kaito kid #but its pretty funny to think bout how kaito just up and decided to yea #im gonna put on these GRAND MAGIC SHOWS for my heists cuz i can #he doesnt have to. but he did. and i love that for him. truly a theater kid

Felonies and Other Love Languages - Chapter 6

Ladybug runs along the length of the building and at the end—right there, at six stories high—pushes herself away from the edge and does a somersault in the air. Adrien sprints after her, crying out in surprise. It turns into a relieved laugh when she lands safely on the opposite building. She turns back and makes a theatrical curtsy. “I hope you know that I can’t do everything after you,” he says. He rakes his hand through his hair as he surveys the gap between the buildings. “I watched you climb that wall, like a real cat, I’m pretty sure you have this jump in the bag. But there’s a plank connecting the two buildings a little way down, if you think—” Adrien doesn’t think.

wait actually the star imagery and p5 kinda goes hard even if it's not as obvious as, say, p3 and its moon imagery. as a resident sun/moon/stars/earth imagery h03 this is deeply important to me

from what i've gathered with persona 5 and its stars:

-Hoshi to Bokura to, (with the stars and us) is the final theme of vanilla p5, which sings of stars, obviously. It's essentially about joker and the PT moving on with their past pain into the next part of their lives.

Interestingly, Our Light in p5r continues the "stars representing a bright, youthful, hopeful future" theming with the lyrics:

That pain will guide me / Towards the stars of the sky that shine above me even when it's essentially a grief song lol.

-Persona 5's dancing spinoff titled "Dancing Star Night"

-P5 UI has these flashy black and white stars everywhere when you know where to look. actually theres nowhere else to look. theyre pretty out there.

also the social stats bar

-JOSE.... 😭❤️ everything about him... his shop.... him n joker sitting together underneath a blanket of stars... theyre so ☹️❤️

so far this is all pretty neat! again, i bring it up because you wouldnt think of stars when talking about persona 5. but i feel the devs definitely intended this.

these next ones are more speculatory but;

-Fallen angels like Lucifer or even satan are likened to falling stars. Fitting that the protagonist's initial persona resembles a demon, not to mention his final one outright being satan. Fallen stars are oft deemed defects but they're stars nontheless... in this way i think Joker's meant to be that very fallen star cast away from heaven?

-persona 3 is obviously moon-themed, embedded into its narrative and gameplay as it is, and it could be argued that the game following it is sun-themed too. persona 4, with its flashy yellows fits with the sun and its glory. persona 5 being star, kind of evokes the feeling of being the hopeful child brother of the two? the game was meant to be a love letter that both refreshed the formula and calling back to the series as a whole, for old and new fans alike... that leaves the earth, which pairs with star well. earth's parallel can also be heaven/sky, and p5's later parts kinda hammering down the "taking back the heavens from false gods!" narrative imagery (especially in vanilla's final boss. u be fighting angels as minibosses cmon now) it kinda tracks! so now star-heaven-sky are all synonymous to me. either way it all fits.

this all leads me to think p6 could have earth imagery, actually. if it's also going to be color-themed as green as fans are speculating, that's fitting!

maybe the social commentary this time would be "reconnecting with earth/nature" as the whole world's kinda experienced/experiencing that since the pandemic..? persona games being a product of the technological advancements of their time can also tie into that, since people depend on their devices more than ever, so maybe nature's (forceful) reclaiming can be an intriguing concept for them to explore... not that we'll know anytime soon!

#aishi.docx #persona 5 #persona 5 royal #persona #much to think about #i think i just wanted to talk about akira being star actually. he's My star you see #sending nasa akira pictures cause hes a star #also it was getting pretty long but #higumi togo (the star arcana) originally being intended as a phantom thief member kinda interesting. of all arcanas shes star #makes u think #FVURKC i meant hifumi togo** girl my bad #and kunikazu okumura's palace being a whole spaceship. i always thought it was weird since its not rly thief-heist-setting as the other but #i think the devs just really liked space and stars and wanted to include it anyway! cant fcken blame them ig except i can a litle #(its a guilty pleasure) #but yeahh letsgooo stars are cool #glad my current fav game has themes around it. catered toward me fr

Personal headcanon that joker's true velvet room is a fancy shmancy train.

#In keeping with the permanently moving location theme #The fancy lift with the drapes in p3 and the fully kitted out LIMO in p4 #P5 has an awful lot of symbolic trains and I could definitely see the pt getting on a train through the alps to get to their next target #Even pulling a heist ON the train! #You don't associate long train journeys with justice media or the inevitability of death but you DO associate it with high class mystery #Which fits the aesthetic themes of p5 pretty well #Listen #We start the game on a train having been forced to take the fall for an adults crimes and corruption #The metaverse is an infinite subway #We ride the tracks freely from level to level getting deeper and deeper as we progress through the game #A proper orient express would be so fitting for p5! #I don't know if it'd be a steam one or a modern bullet train but either way it'd be ✨glamorous✨ like the others #persona 5 #persona series #akira kurusu #velvet room #headcanons #p5 joker #P5

[augment-techs]

okay, was anyone gonna tell me that Johnny Yong Bosch, Jason Narvy, and Paul Shrier all stared in a stand alone action movie, or was I just supposed to run aground of that by sheer accident????

#kinda disappointed that it goes by two different names; but then again that seems to be a running theme with stuff I like #like Thief and the Cobbler; Eye of the Killer/After Alice and a couple other movies I quite like #Extreme Heist | Wicked Games 2002 #reference #playlist #johnny yong bosch #jason narvy #paul schier #Youtube

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

I wonder how Taylor looked at “I Can See You” when she first started thinking about the vault for Speak Now. Especially considering that the whole song is her having a daydream about a relationship and given that the relationship actually happened and wasn’t at all exciting as she imagined.

#taylor swift #I Can See You #speak now tv #like I wonder why if that’s why she chose to make it about a heist and associate it with her reclaiming her work rather than that romance #I’m curious if she had that idea to make it the video and heist theme going into the vault or if it just came to her later on #like the whole thing is her daydreaming and I wonder how she views it after having that actual relationship/experience #this was a shower thought

[unreversedumbrella]

I'm still thinking about this script writting class where i had to explain the difference between the themes and the genre of a movie to the guy who wants to be a movie director

#our group kept moving too fast #and i kept trying to move back and find a central theme to the narrative #and he goes 'but we have a theme: its a heist tv series' #i almost strangled him
