Concept art of Ocean Master in Aquaman (2018) by Victor Martinez

In this concept art, Atlanteans used water holograms “hydrograms” using bioluminescence to create images and used the manipulation of water to make three-dimensional interfaces + images

Aquaman 🔱 🔱

Scene: Atlanna asks you to take Orm out to get human clothes and run some errands. (but she secretly ships it and spies on the day)

Inspired by the flower scene. I just put myself in there but imagine its you, your OC, or your fav pairing <3

also, in case you can’t read my handwriting (I’m so sorry I know its bad lol) 1:  Orm: Your surface-dweller garments make no sense, it’s terrible armor. You: It’s not supposed to be armor. It’s just supposed to be comfortable.  in the background: Thomas: Atlanna….this is a bad idea. in the background: Atlanna: shhhh!

2: You: So they also wanted you to get a phone…and Atlanna wanted a bottle of wine

3:  Orm: These are those snacks Mera told me about. You:??!??!?

4: You: Those are flowers, Orm. They’re not for eating…

5: You: You’re supposed to give them for special occasions, or to someone you care for.

6: Orm: for you, then. You: ????!?1?!????

You know, something that just blows my mind about Aquaman is how Arthur’s dad first encounters his mom.

An exotic, sexually mature woman in a soaking wet, skin-tight outfit falls at his doorstep, injured and unconscious. Completely helpless. Decades of science fiction tropes dictate that at some point while he rescues her, he will be tempted by her beauty.

Maybe he has to examine an intimate area as he checks her injuries and bandages her. Or perhaps a bit of her outfit falls away as he’s moving her to safety. But ultimately, despite all of this temptation, he refuses to take advantage of her. This moment is to show the audience that he is a nice, honorable guy.

But in Aquaman…that never happens. He finds her on the shore in the rain, and then next thing we see she’s on his couch, bandaged up and covered with a blanket. No gratuitous shots of her being stripped while unconscious, no drawn-out manhandling or accidental gropings. Just, bam. She’s there. And the story progresses.

This is significant to me for a couple of reasons:

1. A movie, specifically a SCIENCE FICTION movie, refused an opportunity to sexualize a beautiful, unconscious woman being rescued by a man. Which is something that’s a lot more uncommon than it should be in media.

2. The movie does not highlight refusing to take advantage of an unconscious woman as something a “nice guy” does. In fact, it doesn’t highlight it AT ALL. From the movie’s point of view, not taking advantage of an unconscious woman is not honorable or noteworthy in any way. It’s EXPECTED. It is BASE-LEVEL decency.

He wasn’t nice because he refused to grope her. He was nice because he took an armed stranger from the OCEAN into his home, gave her back her weapon before he even knew he could trust her, and didn’t tell her to get the hell out as soon as she ate his fish.

A man who doesn’t take advantage of unconscious women is as honorable as a man who doesn’t kick dogs, or a man who doesn’t torture cats. That is to say, as honorable as every single other halfway decent person on the planet. Not committing sexual assault is not a commendable thing, it is the BARE MINIMUM STANDARD any human should be held to. Right up there with not setting cars on fire and not shitting on your neighbor’s dinner table.

list of favorite things as a fanfic author:

When someone is really freaking mad at me for inducing an emotional response from them

when readers give me a background of how/when they read my writing

when readers give me a background of why they shouldn’t have been reading my writing (usually while at work)

when readers quote my work back to me in comments

the frickin’ real heroes here, the ones who comment on every chapter of an ongoing multi-chapter fic
