A lil comic based on the amazing fic "Up is Down, Sane is Insane"

#god i love this fic SO MUCH guys #that feeling where liking and leaving a 1k comment isn't enough to express how much you love and enjoy a story #that you just have to make a fanart for it to properly convey how grateful you are to be able to read such a cool story #well... a fancomic in this case i suppose #did i choose to draw that part of the story only because i thought the image of angel doing ✌️ as pentious prayed for him was funny? yes #yes i did #ooooh my wrist hurt tho #hazbin hotel #sir pentious #pentious #hazbin hotel sir pentious #hazbin hotel angel dust #angel dust #comic #myart #tw: blood

AU to add to the list of AUs I'll never write: All of the Robins are de-aged to the age they were when they became Robin. Their memories are also reset to that point, and somehow they're in their Robin suits.

So you have a 16 year old Steph, desperately trying to wrangle 4 feral children who look nearly identical and won't tell her their names because "you do know what a secret identity is, don't you Stephanie?"

Culture Shock

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xiao xingchen #xue yang #a-qing #As I sit here and type out my thoughts I realize that the last panel looks like A-Qing is crushing XY's candy...oops.#she's supposed to be crunching her *own* wrapper for dramatic effect. XY's candy is still in XXC's hand.#Hes still standing there. 180 degrees out of frame. Which is where your heart is! MEANING: XXC is in your heart right now #holding out a little piece of candy that has yet to be taken.#This comic was so close to being on the chopping block. Honestly I'm still not sure I should have kept it in #but I liked this scene a lot*** and tbh the yi-city arc isn't around for much longer. Let them have fun while it lasts.#not to mention I have few opportunities to build up spanish speaking XXC. And we are close to the pay off.#XY is in his 'oh god I need to start learning the basics of this language or I will drown' phases. Lets see how well he does!#***The candy represents so much! It's a symbol of unobtainability! Of comfort and status! Both A-qing and XY crave candy as much as they-#-crave those 'unobtainables'! XY has money to by candy (part of status) but he lacks love and comfort is his life!#So XXC offering them this little piece of candy is more than just a treat! It's a piece of love!#But as sweet as candy is....it cannot last....#(this also makes the scene where XY disrupts A-Qing's comfort by offering candy very interesting to analyze)

I truly do think one of the largest pitfalls among the "media consumption is my passion" crowd is the tendency to treat characters as human beings with agency rather than narrative tools manipulated by the author

#as soon as you start assigning agency to characters any criticism of the series comes under strawman fallacy arguments #about how humans make irrational choices not always understood by others etc etc etc #thus insulating the author and the work from any sort of meaningful criticism or analysis #i think current popular advice on character writing overemphasizes relatability and likability at the expense of narrative relevance #it certainly isn't hurtful to do exercises where you think about their coffee order or favourite animal or preferred toilet paper brand #but none of that matters in the end if you have no idea what purpose a character is supposed to serve in a literary sense

I'm aware many people (including myself) are uncomfortable with this framing, but I can't help but love the "sometimes, a little girl grows up to be a man, and sometimes, a little boy grows up to be a woman"

How eloquent, how beautiful is it to describe the growing-up of a trans youth? Something about it feels soft and so unabashedly human.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #i never saw myself this way but i love seeing others describe themselves that way #something about it is POETIC okay #sometimes it isn't that you feel you always *were* a gender. sometimes you BECOME it...#...isn't that beautiful? isn't that amazing?#a man who wasn't always a man is not less of a man and that's what we need to remember #sometimes there's a stigma in trans communities where you're not 'supposed' to have felt like a different gender...#...but that's running off the assumption that you HAVE to be stagnant and never develop in different ways #i dunno this is a tangent i'm just being emotional about My People

so far the thing i like best about nu: carnival is that eiden is genuinely lovely and i completely understand why all these dudes are just dropping everything to follow him around

#HOWEVER i wish he would slap kuya just once #am i the only one who finds that motherfucker insufferable #i get that that's supposed to be his trait but i don't find it cute so far he's just genuinely incredibly mean #it's actually making me feel more affectionate towards eiden because stfu leave him alone #and the fact that he has enough patience to put up with that and try to interpret what he actually means instead of just #calling him an asshole. which i think he is entitled to! but he doesn't #makes me really love him and hope he doesn't believe any of that and isn't too hard on himself #i think this is gonna be another game where my favorite character is the protag lol #(although i do really love some of them especially olivine)#nu: carnival #nu carnival #yes i'm supposed to be doing work shut up

Thing to remember about Cat’s magician theme: while yes, it does imply there’s some stuff that we just won’t get to see due to it being hidden, it’s also hinting at something meant to help us:

Don’t get caught up in any misdirection.

One of the big things about this music video in particular is that there’s a lot of stuff thrown at us really fast and quick, multiple times. A bunch of busy, flashy, dramatic sequences that are sure to draw most people’s eye and theorycrafting!

But, just as a magician uses their skills to get the audience to look away from the actual trick that they’re pulling, Kazui is subconsciously pulling the same stuff on us. Like, just in considering what one of the slower sections of Cat showed us:

People have already pointed out that the guy in the wedding audience is the same man who was bartending in Half. But I think there’s even a bit more past that that Kazui’s given to us as context. Which is to say: Consider the ring on his finger and the woman behind him.

Know what other woman in Kazui’s videos we’ve seen who has brown hair and been right next to this man?

Which actually puts the bar scene from Half into a completely different context.

The picture above wasn’t Kazui cheating on his wife: it was him getting to know the woman his childhood friend was going to marry.

By having their meeting in a casual setting, with both Kazui and her sitting right up next to the bar where the guy was working, all three of them would get to talk and hang out when things weren’t too busy. And when things did get busy, Kazui and this man’s future bride would be easy to check up on via a quick look down the bar counter, with alcohol as an added social relaxant so things would hopefully never get too tense and awkward. With all this in mind, I think it’s really important we consider the art of misdirection when looking through the rest of Kazui’s Cat video: If our attention is being drawn to something in particular, look at everything else first. That’s gonna be how we crack through Kazui’s shell and get to the truth.

#MILGRAM #MILGRAM project #kazui mukuhara #kazui milgram #like with both the magician AND the Mafritte references being pointed out to us #it seems clear that we're supposed to give EVERYTHING in Cat a double glance and a closer look #but especially the less flashy moments in particular #as those are the places where Kazui's subconscious isn't putting up as much of an active effort to mislead us #have I mentioned i find kazui relatable? 'cause i find him relatable #not so much the 'hiding being queer' part #(I wear that part of myself pretty blatantly)#but more the 'i want people to understand my mindset without having to spell everything out for them' part #because HOO BOY is that an eternal dilemma when you feel the need to wear five bajillion masks to make things move smoothly

There's absolutely nothing worse than when I get a thousand words into a story and decide that I low key hate it

#i don't really hate it #it's just like. what is the point?#i'm just not super enthusiastic about where it's going and none of the other options for where i could go with it are very interesting #and it's supposed to be about hera. HERA #if i'm writing something about captain hera syndulla the myth the legend herself the greatest pilot in the galaxy etc.#then it's got to be GOOD #hmm. i. might be shelving this fic idea for the time being #in theory it's decent in practice it isn't what i want #so there's that #HECK this is annoying #okay let's stay calm #i'll set this idea aside #work on something else in the time being #and then come back to what i'm writing for hera in spectre week after that #easy. possibly #WHY AM I INCAPABLE OF COMING UP WITH GOOD FIC IDEAS ANYMORE #i swear i've had all my good ideas #which i hate with a fiery passion #i hate the fact that it feels like i'm out of fun ideas #i don't want that to be true! i want to be still capable of coming up with fic concepts!#but the brain is not braining right now #it's super frustrating #*deep deep sigh*#i shall survive #just had to rant a bit

It's so emotionally powerful to me that we don't hear any interactions between Minkowski and Eiffel in the finale between the scene when she tries to send him back on the Sol and the scene where she witnesses him losing his memories. That's more than an hour in the middle of the finale with no direct interaction between these two central characters whose dynamic is a core element of the show. For me, this makes both of those dramatic scenes even more moving, because they feel juxtaposed in a way they might not otherwise be if there was a Minkowski & Eiffel interaction inbetween them.

As the Sol prepares to launch, Minkowski tells Eiffel goodbye and she knows it could be the last time she speaks to him. She thinks she might never see him again, but at least he'll be safe. She thinks he might never forgive her for that choice, but at least he will have made it through this.

But his stubborn desperation to fight alongside the rest of the crew defies all her plans to protect him. And the next time she speaks to him - after she's been shot in the stomach during her attempts to reach him, after she's continued to look for him even as she's bleeding out - he is injured in a way she would never have expected. When she first sees him hooked up to Pryce's machine, maybe she thinks for a moment that he's unharmed, that they might all make it through this the way she hoped. Then she learns that his memories are already slipping away from him.

There's her desperate attempt to protect him at all costs, and then there's a life-altering harm that she couldn't protect him from, which she witnesses. Between these two moments, there aren't any scenes with both characters in together to bridge that gap. There's Eiffel yelling "Goddammit, Renée, DON'T DO THIS!", and then there's him telling her "It was an honor to serve under you, Sir." There's him pleading with her and then there's him forgiving her. There's Minkowski saying "Go home, Eiffel. Hug your daughter.[...] Goodbye, Doug.", and there's the desperate heartbroken way she says Eiffel's name after the memory wipe has gone through. There's two very different kinds of goodbyes.

And then, afterwards, there's two very different kinds of introductions.
