#Joint Effort

[crimson-and-clover-1717]

The crew in the jail cell on the Red Flag are in their own sort of Gravy Basket parallel. They aren’t dead yet, but there’s possibly only a little life left for them. They’re in a waiting area, counting down to a deadline maybe. It’s just a matter of time… they’re reconciled to the inevitable.

And Stede just refuses to accept he can’t save them with the weaponising of camomile tea. He’s in emotional pain from their actions, and has no idea if the escape plan will work, but they have to try. Yet Stede alone doesn’t save the crew. It’s a joint effort. They listen and do and play to their strengths, but it’s Stede’s belief which gives them the hope to attempt it.

They try together, and succeed.

Meanwhile, Ed is in his own Gravy Basket purgatory. He’s not quite dead yet, but there’s very little life left. He’s sinking into the black ocean of a dying mind, counting down. There’s a deadline here too… it’s probably only a matter of seconds… he’s reconciled to the inevitable…

…Ed’s fight to live begins by Stede removing the face shroud; daring to look death, Ed’s death, in the face. It’s the tiniest spark of Ed knowing he’s not alone, and it’s enough. And once Stede hears faint knocking, sees a hint of life in Ed’s hand, Stede refuses to accept he cannot be saved. Stede will stare death down. He’s going to call and shake until… And Ed is going to scream and let go of that weight and have his Merstede vision. Like with the crew, Stede alone doesn’t save Ed. It’s a joint effort, but Stede brings the hope.

Together they try with everything they have, and Ed lives.

'Joker: Folie a Deux' Movie and 4K Review

The following review was written by Ultimate Rabbit correspondent, Tony Farinella. “Joker: Folie à Deux” is an ambitious film to say the least. It’s a musical, a courtroom drama, a character study, a love story, and a thriller all-in-one.  Before I even put the film in my 4K player, I was well aware of how poorly it was received by critics and audiences alike.  I was also well aware that some…

Joker: Folie à Deux (dir. Todd Phillips).

Much of the sequel is a satirical trial or referendum on the original film's impact and violence. Still, like the first Joker, this one's commentary feels rather toothless despite taking risks as a slow burn courtroom musical drama.

Alright, Since we're on the topic of shedding, we gotta know, what happens to Cattington

I dunno man, you've got both a cat and a snake involved, it's kind of a mess all around.

At least the void half doesn't shed! Probably!

So i remember an ask mentioning your mortal enemy, Felis Atra and their cats, and i thought it'd be fun to draw what Felis Atra's version of your italian dogs would be.

I think they would be called Butter Knife and Flamengo! Butter Knife is not his real name, it's an nickname given by his peers because of how harmless he is. I choose Flamengo because that's the name of Vasco's rival football team here in Brazil, so i thought that was the perfect name :)

Cat Machete was slightly inspired by the Oriental Shorthair cat because of their long noses and thin head shape.

Cat Vasco was inspired by the Scottish Fold cat, because FLOPPY EARS. I gave Flamengo longer ears and orange fur to make him more like his look-alike.

The last doodle is a reference to this ask (https://canisalbus.tumblr.com/post/728923918314946560/me-i-am-machete-ear-fan-number-1-those-ears) and contains the tumblr ask stand-in dog, whose cat version was inspired by the American Curl cat! They have round ears that are slightly floppy outwards.

Final notes: I know cardinal clothes don't come in vibrant blue, but i was ADAMANT on switching Machete's and Vasco's clothing color patterns. I would draw the rest of Butter Knife's and Flamengo's clothes, but i suck at designing cool outfits.

Speaking of outfits, for Machete's iconic void outfit, i figured it would be fun to make it more baggy for Butter Knife, in contrast to Machete's, that looks very tight-fitted. I think it's cute, it kinda looks like a sweater. Also i can't imagine a Machete doppelganger without high heels boots, so those HAD to stay.

Oh, and just to be clear, i'm not like, claiming ownership of these guys or anything. I just thought it would be a fun exercise. Hope you like them!! I love your art and your characters.

One thing I really appreciated in Sunrise on the Reaping was how it addressed the questions of "what if we all just refused to kill each other" and "what if everyone else simply banded together against the Careers." It's so different to what we see take place in the 10th and 74th Games. The entire Newcomers strategy is something that would probably have seemed like a ludicrous impossibility to Katniss and the other 74th Games tribute at that point in the event's history. But SOTR argues that actually all it takes to form that kind of an alliance is the slightest human connection before the games begin. Maysilee helping everyone with their tokens. Haymitch sharing 12's extra lunches after the Careers' steal them from other districts. Ampert being sure to include everyone in his alliance proposal. That's all it takes for these kids to go, "we can't kill each other." And instead they band together and fight and die for one another instead of against each other, and it's not about who's the strongest or what each person can bring to the table, just the base agreement between all of them that all of their lives have value. And the best part is that you really believe they would have seen it through, too. When they discuss what they'd do if they actually managed to kill every Career and conclude they'd just have to let the Gamemakers weed them out from there, you do believe that's what they'd have done. When Maysilee and Haymitch decide they need to find Wellie, when they agree she could paint the poster, too, it's such a beautiful moment because, yeah! Really any of these kids could have done it!! And all of them would have been willing to try.

I think about that scene where kenta passes out and ryuga just kind of waits there for him to wake up a lot. As much shit as I talk about metal fury, I think it did a lot of justice to ryuga's character, and that scene is a pretty good example of how.

A lot of the reason ryuga is Like That is as a result of being constantly treated like a god by everyone around him (hell in the manga I'm pretty sure he was one). As the series goes on you can see him becoming more and more detached from humanity, and I get the vibe that's because he starts to consider himself less and less human. By metal fury he's practically become a totally asocial creature--but when this annoying little kid starts following around, he still can't bring himself to leave him for dead. Kenta's persistence in trying to overpower him was probably the most social interaction he'd had since Fusion, and I think that connection started to pry open the obscene amount of boundaries he'd set up by then. I think that little bit of prolonged and not-immedietly-hostile company restored a little bit of humanity in him. Just moisturized the fuck outta those dry humanity sponge capsules in his heart. Idk. Found family but instead of a wholesome loving dynamic it's an evil codependent hateful version of your older brother who shoots you with his bb gun.
