#Elevation Falls

[zorangezest]

I recently read The Fall (but slower) by @smatterbrained and predictably fell in love with soundwave’s scenes…I just had to draw some art for it, here’s a lil scene from the most recent chapter!

[justaz]

idk just something about percy holding annabeth while dangling off the ledge above the abyss of tartarus, both of them thinking “a one way trip, a very hard fall” and thinking that they’ll just go splat at the bottom and die together - percy letting go of the ledge rather than annabeth showing that he was more than willing to die with her rather than let her die alone while he lived a life without her, but even then he can’t stand the thought of her dying so while they’re falling he TWISTS THEM TO BE BENEATH HER TO CUSHION AND BREAK HER FALL IN THE HOPES THAT SHE COULD MAKE IT OUT ALIVE WITHOUT HIM

always found the last mabelcorn scene transitions so fun

I've realized that truly the worst thing Stiller and Erickson could do would be to move on from Burt and Irving as a lost cause. I don't want a single stilted flashback to the s1 finale that ends with Irving telling the innies that "oh he was already happy, I have to find a way to move on" with some dejected pining throughout.

I want this tragedy to hurt unimaginably and I want Irving to fight to have it, I want grey morality and apostasy all because of true love, I want to see Burt's outtie put in the worst no-win situation, I want to see Irving revel in it while being in the worst pain of his life. I want them to address how Lumon's most devout servant helped spark a rebellion solely because he found a soulmate. And I want to see how Irving even moves forward when he loses it. (DOES he lose it? I don't know. I don't WANT to know for as long as possible.)

There is so much here and the worst thing imaginable would be for them to relegate it.

Kala Dandekar really heard Wolfgang say that there was something dark inside him (meaning the murdering incest baby thing) and said me too (meaning the not in love with her husband thing).

The lack of filler in arc-v made me realize that yugioh’s filler is necessary for its ecosystem

watching the og scooby doo show for the first time since i was a kid and its kinda hilarious how many years the "danger prone daphne" narrative persisted considering the first instance of it being used was fred basically making fun of her for falling into a mineshaft, about two minutes after he fell into a mineshaft and somehow got covered in flour. fred. your blunder was so much worse. why would you say that to her

ford spending like 3 days angrily writing 14 pages in j3, beating up whats left of portal with a sledgehammer and making a snowglobe for the rift, before he suddenly gets the urge to show off to his family by bringing up a cycloptopus to fight....

ugh. whatever, just thinking about dante jumping off from the qliphoth 30 seconds before vergil does, but then descending in slow circles

waiting for his stupid brother to catch up so they can enter into their new life together

FORGETTABLE AU PAGES - LIVE REACTION

@forgettable-au Go. Read. It. 🫵

….oh my god.

ok y’know what, i’m not even gonna do my usual summarizing thoughts before going through the pages beat for beat- we’re diving STRAIGHT in.

strictly formatting these is overrated anyway

THE FIRST PAGE!!!

First of all awwwwww I hope we get to see Riverperson again… Flowey resting his head on top of Papyrus’ in the raft melts my heart as well.

For the first bit of dialogue here with Floweys internal monologue- OUGH I LOVE IT! I will NEVER get sick of getting into his head, he’s like us! a theorist! his thought process here is so me.… “ive never thought of the possibility that Papyrus might have been involved as well…” Welllllllll… You’re half right.

Im also looking forward to seeing the part of Wingdings’ story that explains Papyrus’ conveyor belt related trauma- cause cmon man whats wrong with conveyer belts 😭

Papyrus basically having a conversation with himself while Flowey just goes and does his own thing is SO REAL ALSO I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

ALSO LMAO THE BACKPACK IS ACTUALLY THERE- THAT WAS A THING I POINTED OUT AS A JOKE IN THIS POST- funny to know that was just a mistake, BUT IM ONTO YOUR LITTLE TRICKS!!! I KNOW ITS LORE RELATED SOMEWHERE!!!!

PAGE 2

PAPYRUS’ REACTION HERE HAS ME SCREAMING IN AGONY, I DIDN’T THINK IT WOULD GET WORSE- BUT spoilers. it gets so much worse. I mean I- kind of- spoiled it with the drawing at the very beginning….BUT- YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE COMICS BEFORE READING THIS!!!

GOOGLY EYES PAPYRUS SPOTTED!!!! OHHH I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER and speaking of facial expressions I hate (love) Floweys smug ass in these panels 😭

THE 2ND TO LAST PANEL- OH THIS SHOT BEHIND AND BELOW PAPYRUS IS JUST GORGEOUS HIS SKULL AND JAW AND NECK- ITS ALL SO WELL DRAWN

PAGE 3

Talking about the actual dialogue for a second- trying not to get too carried away only focusing on the visuals.

Im very concerned we’re going to have a moment with the power going out, Papyrus and Flowey being stuck without the elevator just like Alphys and Wingdings were. Some chicanery is gonna happen comparing and contrasting how they handle that compared to the 2 scientists. Ofc thats a lot of speculation- But I cant help but feel like the talk about “the energy hopfully lasting long enough” is leading up to something….not fun.

Maybe what they do down here is a weird time mumbo jumbo that is important to make what happens in the past- happen. Maybe thats why Gaster is watching them…

“You should talk to my brother more!!!” …..I want to disagree- but also I want them to be friends and think they COULD get along

PAGE 4

“That would be weird!!” reference to when you call Papyrus in Alphys’ room….i see what you did there….

Also Floweys logic here about having hisss permission just made me giggle so much LMAO I absolutely love the repeated “Papyrus is hesitant” followed up by “Flowey presenting a sorta??? convincing argument” and Papyrus just being like “…ALRIGHT!”. Very fun and in character for him

PAGE. 5.

When I tell you- this K I L L E D. M E. GOD THIS IS SO WELL DRAWN???!?!?!?! I CAN FEEL THE SINKING DREAD- OOOUUUUGGHHHH THE DETAIL IN HIS EYE SOCKETS!!!!!!!!

This incredibly depicts feeling of sound filling your head- just AAAA IT HITS SO HARD AND IT HURTS SO GOOD.

PAGE 6

“Are you- uh..feeling anything?” Subtle Flowey. Very subtle. Though I love Papyrus’ complete misread of what he’s asking HEHDHE. Yknow, Its a belief among ghost hunters that “cold spots” mean theres a ghost lurking around. HM.

Also wtf are you talking about- Papyrus?? you “sometimes” have nerve endings 😭?? That line is incredibly in character answer for him, but also what?? maybe im missing something obvious. Ough the detail on the hand bone…

PAGE 7

WINGDINGS!!!!!!!! MY GOAT!!!! AND ALSO SANS!!!!! MY SLIGHTLY LESSER GOAT WHOM I STILL LOVE!!!!!!!!!!

God I wonder where this conversation is going to go- wheres Wingdings going with this? is he gonna tell him about the tape?? why did he LIE ABOUT THE CREVICE IN THE FIRST PLACE???? IM STILL HUNG UP ON THAT!

Its clear Wingdings plans on researching timelines because of the tape things, ofc, im just surprised he’s informing Sans about it since he’s proven to want to keep at least some of it a secret. At the very least he seems to really enjoy- controlling information.

Im calling it now, Wingdings is a pathological liar. (bold ass claim especially because he only lied once so far BUT IM CALLING IT!!!)

Also the talking and writing in wingdings here is gonna make me immediately rule out Alphys being involved in this conversation.

IN CONCLUSION!

I am. LOSING. MY MIND. OUUUGHH THE ART JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER, THE PLOT AND THE TENSION!!! IT JUST GETS THICKER AND THICKER. I can promise you, the pages are ALWAYS worth the wait…as a wise man once said…

(the real quote, if you dont know is by Shigeru Miyamoto and replate ‘comic’ with ‘game’)

The Guillermo Issue…

In some ways I’m disappointed with the finale and in others I’m not.

I appreciated the attempt to do something unique with the Choose Your Own Adventure-style hypnosis endings. I also appreciated the meta moments in the episode and the cute way they were able to do callbacks (ex. Jackie Daytona). I thought it was interesting they revealed this wasn’t their first documentary (shout out the Maysles brothers) but…that’s where it started to irk me a bit.

I knew the writers weren’t going to have the vampires change and grow too much; I was in the camp that keeping them dumb wasn’t a bad thing, but then they showed that early documentary footage.

To see that they were literally just repeating their days and events practically word for word with little difference surprised me because it neglected a very important aspect - Guillermo. They didn’t have Guillermo before. The addition of his presence in the house should’ve changed something about them even slightly.

Again, I didn’t expect them to change a great deal. I knew these dumb vampires were going to stay dumb, and that was good with me, but for them to not have changed AT ALL despite the influence of Guillermo’s clearly important presence in their lives?? That didn’t line up for me.

Also, even though we’ve established Guillermo’s not a familiar anymore, or even their official bodyguard, but rather a third option *cough* friend *cough* he was oddly relegated to his original role. The vampires acknowledged his feelings but still just wanted him to entertain them with a little dance. He helped prep Nandor for coffin. He called him Master…I guess it could show that like the vampires, Guillermo doesn’t change much either, but that feels…off.

He has changed. We’ve seen him change the MOST out of anyone! Yes, he knows now that he’ll never really fit in with the human world, and I knew he wouldn’t really leave the vampires, but seeing him descend with Nandor in that coffin elevator to a possible life of fighting crime still felt like a regression. Was it silly and ridiculous? Yes. But still a regression.

So, all this to say I’m still juggling how I feel about the finale. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. Like Nandor and Guillermo’s elevator coffin, I have yet to land on anything certain.
