Raoul Silva + Outfits

[nfstssmm]

i just finished my favourite project yet, the iconic shirt Silva wears. As soon as i saw him on screen i HAD to have this shirt.

it isn’t an exact replica (ie. the pattern doesn’t match up in some places, the circle details are larger, etc) BUT ITS PRETTY CLOSE.

i drew out the pattern and had it printed onto 100% cotton fabric.

this is going to become a staple in my wardrobe.

[bewaretheidiotsofmarch]

So uhhhhh, I've been hyperfixating lately🤭 I may be a little bit in love with Tiago/Silva and Safin....💓😮‍💨💓

I may have made an oc for Safin🤫

I have prosopagnosia so drawing real people is always scary to me, but less so if they're on screen as basically a 2d image. I can't see faces at ALL in real time so I'm pretty proud that I've managed to get them anywhere near close.

[bowowow-grrr]

hhnnngh the more i look the more i hate it so I'll just post it and close my eyes

javier bardem brainrot is so real

[persephonethewanderer]

i don't think there was ever this possibility but do you think that if M acknowledged the pain she caused/apologized to silva in any way, he would have still gone through with his plan? I don't think he would ever stop being resentful of her but seeing how difficult it was for him to kill her, I can't see him still doing it if he believed she had regrets about the trade. i'm curious of what u think (this is excluding the plot of spectre that kinda implied he had to do it for blofeld or whatever)

this is a really interesting question because i always saw silva’s mission to get revenge as something that he knew would culminate in his death. i don’t think the plan was to ever survive. i don’t think he could’ve, to be quite honest, especially after spending so long to obsess over her demise.

however, he is not a monster (as much as he wants to act like one and be perceived as such). the beauty of his character is that truly it’s not like he’s aiming at world domination. he’s aiming at getting back at his mother/handler. so the idea of him stopping, if m ever showed remorse for what she did, is not too far fetched. i am not sure it would’ve changed anything. but it is clear he still harbors a sliver of hope for her to acknowledge what she did (think on your sins). he says it himself, “no remorse, just as i imagined”. of course he knows her too well, he loves her too much, to play himself on the hope of her ever changing. but maybe— maybe there’s a small part of him that hoped until the very end. the part that makes him fly off the handle when she calls him mr. silva and not his real name. he asks, demands, to be called tiago rodriguez. and yet she doesn’t give it to him.

i think ultimately that is what cements in silva the idea that there’s no other way to end this but with total annihilation.

would he have entertained another possibility? was the pain blinding but not absolute? we might never know. but i bet he asked himself the same thing.

I want to talk about Raoul Silva AKA my favourite Bond villain and one of my favourite villains in all of cinema and why that is;

Silva (or Tiago Rodriguez) is a character I find endlessly fascinating, his charming personality and demeanor lead to him being incredibly likable from the start and how he speaks to Bond in a way that's friendly and honest yet with still a hint of menace is almost hypnotic to watch on screen. Javier Bardem plays this role to perfection and I feel he doesn't get enough credit for this performance, he is both a camp delight and incredibly threatening when he needs to be and I love every second he's on screen.

His design is also perfect, I don't know how they found a look that screams 'Bond Villain' but this is it, the way his suit is the inverted colour scheme of Bond's is a neat detail and his dyed hair and eyebrows are subtley off putting with how wrong it somehow feels hinting at that he seems well put together there is something off with this man.

The way he acts as the perfect dark reflection to Bond is so interesting to me, sure there have been plenty of characters like that in the film series before Silva i.e Red Grant, Scaramanga and Alec Trevelyan. But none of them are as well utilized as Silva in my opinion with how both he and Bond were betrayed by M and left to die but in Silva's case he went through literal hell whereas Bond just got shot. It's not hard to imagine Bond going rogue on a revenge mission to kill M if he were put through the torture Silva was. Another element to this is how Silva employs Bond's own methods to attack MI6, he attempts to seduce the closest ally to his target, deliberately gets himself captured to infiltrate his target's base to kill them easier and uses their own tech against them. All trademark tactics Bond uses against his villains but turned on him truly making it feel like Silva is three steps ahead of everyone.

The tragedy of Silva is so well handled, he's someone you can't help but feel bad for while watching Skyfall. All he really wants is revenge on the woman who left him to die, a woman he saw as a maternal figure. Like, yeah I get it and I love how Bond himself seems to understand and respect Silva with moments where it seems like he understands his pain. He's one of the few antagonists Bond has gone up against where it feels like he really respects them and probably doesn't even really want to kill him. And the fact that at the end of the film Silva wins, he gets what he wants and tbh, I'm kind of glad. Not that I hate M but it's just nice that Silva gets some closure after a lifetime of being denied that.

[thestalwartheart]

James Bond, Alec Trevelyan, Tiago Rodriguez are 00 agents in the same time line and they CAN and WILL set fire to Q branch.

Please write a silly little fic to cure my depression. Thanks.

Hey anon!

Thank you for sending in this prompt. Unfortunately, I’m not really a big writer of Trevelyan or Silva, so I’m going to lob this over to the wider fandom because I know there are some masters of those characters who would love this prompt!

Sending you all my love - depression sucks so hard. ❤️

WIP

Nowhere near to being finished so I thought I'd post my halfway WIP for y'all.

( bloody mouth is censored for now)

I wanted to draw him in his final scenes, but show the tangible effects of the acid at the same time. So it's a visual representation of his immense pain, but the actual injury is not happening in that very moment.

Rules:  A challenge to give your Top 10 favourite characters, based on their ESSENCE. They have to be favourite characters that also have a deeper literary value, where you enjoy their specific role in the story, and this means that the list also should exclude characters that would normally count as favourites if for purely nostalgic reasons. They can be from film, tv, or written media, anything

Oh gods. Um. This is going to be Hard isn't it.

James Flint, Black Sails

I have loved and will continue to love James "Flint" McGraw both for his place in the story and just in general. His was the story that took me by the shoulders, shook me briskly and whispered "it doesn't have to be like this, the world doesn't have to be this cruel but it is and aren't you tired of it? Aren't you tired of pretending that the status quo is ok? Aren't you ready to make it change?" And he was the main voice for that sentiment that shook me down to my bones.

Farah Dowling, Fate Winx Saga

Farah is a character who has done horrible things. She's been the unthinking protegé of a monster and still came back from the edge. She's someone who took all the pain she experienced and has decided to be kind, even if she struggles with that sometimes, and I love her for it. And she's not motherly, she's more of a wine aunt, but she still cares so deeply about people and that's refreshing too. And of course I love it when I get a female character who is allowed to be complex and also in charge.

Saul Silva, Fate Winx Saga

I love Saul for being arguably the most responsible adult in the room at all times and also so deeply, deeply defined by tragedy that I don't think he knows who to be without the guilt he's carrying around with him (I'd love to find out, though). He's got a life that's been deeply shitty in so many ways but he keeps trying to do the right thing, and then there's the way that despite everyone else around him caving and doing things that are questionable or just outright wrong, he's the one with the moral center and the conviction to say "no, I'm not doing this and I wish you wouldn't either" even in the face of danger. Oh - and he's a damsel in distress, which I don't get to see in male characters much.

Daud, Dishonored

*looks at Daud* *looks at Saul* uhhhh, I appear to have a thing about guilt-ridden men who also adopt every kid in sight and who end up getting forgiven by the people they hurt. I just think they're neat, ok?

Charles Vane, Black Sails

Look. This character has - oh, so many flaws. He's a piece of shit in so many ways, but he's also got some of the rawest lines in this entire damn show, the ones that I'd willingly get tattooed on me so I don't forget them. If you ever need to know what radicalized me, it was probably this guy and everything he said and did from 2x10 on.

Tiago Rodriguez/Raoul Silva, James Bond

I'm sorry, was I not supposed to like the most stylish villain in a Bond film since...idk, I think the last one with this much personality was probably Elektra King. The brat energy. The little bit of crazy underneath it. The fact that the man had a really valid point and actually succeeded because he set achievable goals. The way he's... not quite sexually aggressive with Bond but also definitely wants to get railed. Fascinating.

Simon Torquill, October Daye

Simon. My darling, best idiot who needs to have someone wrap him in a blanket for about a century and make him as much honey-sweetened tea as he can stand and above all else not allow him to make major decisions until he's had a chance to process the clusterfuck that is his life up til now. I love him, your honor. I love that I get a male character who's allowed to be his own worst enemy but also the kindest, most caring father anyone could ask for when he's not flinging around transformation spells and shooting people with elfshot while being puppeteered by a megalomaniac. And of course I love an actual redemption arc that for once doesn't end in death. Right, Seanan? RIGHT? (jk, I trust her. Mostly).

Rosalind Hale, Fate Winx Saga

Ok, so. I both hate Rosalind and love her as a character. It's a complicated thing, but I think what I really love about her as a character is that she's a female villain who is creepy as fuck and I wish that the writers had not immediately turned her into... whatever the fuck they were going for in s2. I was much more fond of s1 Rosalind who was an absolute monster who broke the adults in the series so badly and so completely that they're still a pack of emotional wrecks twenty years on. I wanted her to stay that monster instead of being written as a butch lesbian who's just very done with everyone's shit and occasionally given to a bit of torture. I wanted a better look at what she did to Farah, and to Ben Harvey, and for someone to spell out in great detail that she took Andreas and broke him down to be her attack dog from the time he was sixteen.

Basically I love the potential of the character but if she turned up in front of me I would be compelled to stab her quickly.

Javik, Mass Effect

There's something about Javik that I keep coming back to and I think it's the sheer weight of what he represents. One individual out of trillions still alive. Shepard's mirror image, but his mission went to hell and his people all died and now he's awake again and it has to feel like a kind of torture. And yet, for all that, Javik's character arc is about hope. It's about picking yourself up, or rather being picked up, and figuring out how to live again. If you do everything right, Javik gets to see the end of the Reapers and the end of the carnage. He gets to live, and grow, and maybe finally put down his gun and write a book or something, and that's important. We all need a character to remind us that as long as you're alive, there's hope.

Nomi, James Bond

I love her, your honor. If there's one thing the last film got right, it was having three women of color, none of whom had the slightest inclination to fuck Bond, and of the three of them, Nomi is my favorite. I love that she's the new 007. I love that she's there to drag Bond's ass and warn him off her assignment. I love her "Double-0 what?" and I love her "I'll shoot you in the knee. The one that works." I love that she gets to murder racists, and I love that she's got fully as much style as any other 007.

Mordin Solus, Mass Effect

Anders, Dragon Age

Thomas Barrow, Downton Abbey
