[HD] The Protomen - Act II - Light Up The Night

The lyrics on this hit pretty damned close these last few months. Especially the line “It's like they've gathered up the city, they sold it to the Devil and now/ It's gone to hell and they wonder how.” lyrics below the cut:

[Verse 1: Joe] This city's sleeping like a soldier Trapped inside of an iron lung Machines can keep you breathing But what happens when you find a new war's begun? Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to breathe So either way you're a casualty I've got this burning like my veins Are filled with nothing but gasoline And with a spark it's gonna be The biggest fire they've ever seen Cut me down or let me run, either way it's all gonna burn The only way that they'll ever learn- we've got to turn it off Flip a switch [Chorus 1: Joe] And light up the night There is a city that this darkness can't hide There are the embers of a fire that's gone out But I can still feel the heat on my skin And this mess we're in, where you and I Maybe you and I We can still make it right Maybe we can bring back the light [Verse 2: Thomas Light & Choir] (At the heart of the city) At the heart of the city There is a building that looks down over all there is (And the man in the tower controls it all) And the man in the tower controls it all Without raising a single fist (It's like they've gathered up the city and now) It's like they've gathered up the city, they sold it to the Devil and now It's gone to hell and they wonder how (It's gone to hell and they wonder how, oh) Well, a friend once told me Men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels (Now the wheels are spinning out of control) But now the wheels are spinning out of control What would they do if we held them still? (If you destroy the working parts) If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine A beacon of light from a burning screen (A beacon of light from a burning screen)

[Bridge: Joe] Light it up [Chorus 1: Joe & Choir] Light up the night (Light up the night) There is a city that this darkness can't hide There are the embers of a fire that's gone out But I can still feel the heat on my skin And this mess we're in, where you and I Maybe you and I We can light up the night [Bridge: Choir] Light up the night Light up the night Ah, ah Ooh [Chorus 1: Joe & Choir] Then we can light up the night (Light up the night) There is a city that this darkness can't hide There are the embers of a fire that's gone out But I can still feel the heat on my skin And this mess we're in, where you and I Maybe you and I We can light up the night [Chorus 2: Joe & Choir] (Light up the night) There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light You and I Maybe you and I We can bring back the light [Chorus 2: Joe, Thomas Light & Choir] (Light up the night) There is a city that this darkness can't hide There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light You and I You and I We can bring back the light

Time to share more fun workflow stuff! I pitched this vendor idea after being tasked with doing his vendor animation set. I really wanted to lean into Amir being very engaged in a game and having his concentration broken once you got too close to him. Time to share more fun workflow stuff! I pitched this vendor idea after being tasked with doing his vendor animation set. I really wanted to lean into Amir being very engaged in a game and having his concentration broken once you got too close to him. I started with an animatic to pitch the idea, and this board ended up saving my ass when I was then too sick to make the trip in to the studio to do mocap. Thankfully, Tim was able to swoop in and save the day.

So here is storyboard vs the final animation!

Fear Toxin had an unintended side effect of the people of Gotham.

So! When Jonathan Crane was first testing his Fear Toxin, he was only ever testing on the Inmates at Arkham. And suprisingly a lot of the Patients there were from outside of Gotham (before it was converted into a revolving door of a Prison, it actually used to be an Asylum for the mentally ill. Who knew?).

Since he had so many Test Subjects from outside of Gotham, by pure coincidence he never actually got to test his Fear Toxin on a Born and Raised Gothamite. The first time he saw the effects of his Toxin on the people of Gotham, was his first Terror Attack on the City.

And it did not go as planned.

As it turns out, the People of Gotham are mostly Liminals due to the high percentage of Ectoplasm in the area the City was built on. And unfortunately for Scarecrow, Ectoplasmic Beings like Liminals have a very different reaction to distilled Fear than normal people.

Their Bodies process it differently, it is filtered by their Ectoplasm into pure energy, and that energy is directed straight into their Dopamine Centers.

Basically, Fear Toxin is Weed for Liminals.

Scarecrow accidentally released a cloud of pure Weed into the City. And the people loved it. It wasn't long before he was being inundated with requests for more of his "Product" from every single Crime Boss in the City.

This wasn't what he wanted! He wanted to see them squirm and riot in unadulterated Terror! He wanted to see them attack eachother in Fear, not raid the nearest 7/11 trying to satisfy their Munchies!

But whenever he tried to make a new Strain of Fear Toxin to get them with, they all rejoiced at his "New Product"! It was sickening!

He should have moved to Metropolis.

The more confidently certain Murderbot is that no bots have genders or any interest in sex or romance the less likely it sounds. Really? None of them?

Like how bot pilots can only communicate in images?

Or how a human could never really be friends with a bot?

Or how SecUnits are never friends with each other?

It keeps making these sweeping generalisations about things it doesn't have a lot of data outside of its own lived experience to support, and its experience is not universal.

At this point I would not be surprised if Iris hit MB in the face with the revelation that ART hates Holism because they were involved before Holism fucked around and left it for Sum Total.

I really liked when you drew King Dice as Almond Cookie and Bendy as Walnut Cookie! Can you draw them again? maybe with their vacation costumes or maybe some Devil/Roguefort Cookie action? (I'm desperate I’m sorry XD)

Ok Ok so.

In dpxdc stories. Danny always gets assumed to be sick or uses it as an excuse or whatever to hide his powers right?

What if he wasn't lying?

It wasn't something easily noticed, not when half a dozen other things could explain it after all.

The shakes lingering? Well he'd used his ice powers a lot the night before fighting Skulker.

The faint feeling and lightheadedness? Well his mom had a good shot when people didn't interfere, and while he healed fast, it wasn't from nothing; he felt better after he ate anyway.

Heart racing suddenly? Probably just attempting to regulate the low beat on reflex again to seem normal but over shot it.

But the getting out of breath or spotty vision hadn't really been easily explained.

It was Mr. Lancer who asked about it after he'd gotten up from his seat in detention-happening less and less for actual reasons and more an opportunity to safely do his work and rest, after the truce with the ghosts to leave him and the town be during certain hours-only for the next thing he knew he was on the floor, head pillowed on Mr. Lancer's sweater, and a cool wet paper towel on his forehead and neck.

POTS. Post orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. Not uncommon for those who had had injuries too their hearts to get.

It made sense when the teacher asked if he could have it. Apparently a friend of his's daughter had it.

From there, it made things easier to an extent. Salt was pretty easy to add, he figured out a wrist brace that he could extend into a cane if needed to.

In ghost form he didn't need it at all, but human form had its limits.

Despite all that he'd gone through, he graduates and even gets accepted to a college near jazz, hers was in Metropolis but Gotham had the ambient ectoplasm that he needed, and it was a day trip away.

And so Gotham U became his home, especially after his parents couldn't take that he wasn't "their son" anymore when he told them-after moving everything and getting his cheap apartment set up just in case. He considered it lucky that they loved their son enough they couldn't hunt "his ghost".

Last he'd heard they were working closer with the GIW but hadn't had much luck since the portal strangely closed soon after he left and the other ghosts didn't feel much reason to visit Amity anymore without him there.

It was Gotham U where he met Dick by literally fainting into his arms after a long day where he'd forgotten to eat and the early dinner the night before plus the going down the stairs at a quick pace and leaning forward with gravity.

"sorry, couldn't help falling for you~" the cheesy pick up line was the only thing his foggy brain could comprehend before he fainted.
