Got a question for y’all. What is one media that you watched as a kid that was marketed for kids, but didn’t realize until years later that it was more for/would be appreciated more by adults? It can’t just be from your childhood, it has to be marketed towards kids, so it can’t be something like “Hellsing” or “The Mummy”.
My answer: The Incredibles
* Calls out insurance companies for screwing over people
* Main villain gets chopped up by an engine
* Bob and Helen’s conflict is written like a cheating plot, with Mirage as the “mistress”
* Bob’s main arc is basically a mid-life crisis
* That one uncomfortable scene where Bob and Helen are arguing about Bob’s mid-life crisis and that he’s neglecting his son, which ends up scaring the kids
* The level of violence. We got an attempted suicide, dozens of supers are violently killed off-screen, the villain gets chopped into pieces, gunfire, kids getting attacked, and so on

mr incredible as a character is so interesting because unlike other main “good guys” his main drive is that he loves being a super hero. he’s fired from multiple jobs, uprooting his family every time, because of he can’t not be that guy. he listens to police scanners and coaches people through abusing the insurance company because he’s so desperate to get even a slice of that feeling. of course he likes helping people, sure, but he’s so desperate to be heroic he lets himself get reduced down to being muscle for hire to a crazy shady company just so that he can be mr incredible again. Like, how did we get here? what is his origin story? what made him like this? who taught him that his worth is synonymous with his heroism? with what his body can do? how did we get here.

Uh Incredibles art because Twitter talking about it inspired me. I love when people draw the Parr kids (as adults) in their parents old supersuits. I've seen other artists do it I don't remember where i saw it but it's super cute

Can I just say I love how you give the ghosts different traits? Like Hope's a more traditional ghost, Dexter's a little goopy (and the only one with a semblance of legs), and Skiddad is full on W.D. Gaster goop. It's great and I love it
AWEEE THANK YOU! Violet has actual notes about the ghosts so I drew some refs
Hope + Missing Children
-Just your average children spirit. Creepy, pale skin, empty eyes, all that stuff
-Difficult to comunicate with, but not impossible. They keep bits and crumbs of their old personalities, even if they seem way more "hollowed out".
-Only have a few set of words they constantly repeat. For example, Hope keeps repeating "Dad dad dad dad dad dad dad dad"
-Get scared easily.
-Mostly harmless. May scare you half to death by appearing out of nowhere and staring at you from across rooms, but they don't do it on purpose.
Dexter Erotoph
-Goopy, as if he was made of melting plastic
-Broken neck he manages to keep straight at will God knows how
-Can possess specific objects and is one of the most tangible ghosts
-Easy to communicate with. Will just have regular conversations with you. He's actually got an attitude too.
-Mostly harmless, but may get dangerous if needs aren't kept in check, or if he's stressed or provoked.
Skiddad/Atticus/Simon/etc
-Old mannequin coated with an inky substance. The most tangible out of all the ghosts. Also the most powerful.
-Can obscure his face at will.
-Easy to communicate with, you can easily converse with him. He's gonna be insanely creepy and vague though.
-Can turn the inky substance into spider legs
-Prefers to appear just when it's night.
-EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. He just chooses not to attack directly. Mostly.
Bonus: Bob Velseb
-Basically looking like his current corpse in the morgue
-He won't talk to you unless he's taunting you while trying to kill you.
-Teeth are very tangible. The rest of the body is mostly not.
-The most dangerous, but simply because he can and will attack you in an attempt to eat you.
Bonus 2: Michelle Erotoph
-Basically trasparent
-Doesn't talk with anyone. She just wails and calls out for her son. Even if Dexter's ghost is right in front of her, she doesn't seem to see him.
-Basically harmless. Not tangible in the slightest.

Becky in blunderland AU made by glowin-theSHARK on ff.net! (Underlined text is link to the fanfiction. It's literally so good yall need to read it even if it's not finished.)
If yall have been stalking my profile enough, yall would know that i made a concept design for becky in the AIW au. Because i loved the fanfic so much i kept fantasizing about what an au like this would have!
Everything i drew here was mentioned in the fanfic (except for the books that i added for a mysterious touch. And granny may as the queen of hearts because that fits SO much!)
Now the author already made a design for becky in this au with a wordgirl themed dress, but i felt like it would be more fitting for it to be becky botsford theme. Because alice wants a much more exciting and eccentric life. And it's kinda similar to becky with her wanting a much more exciting life for her real self instead of her alter ego. Basically alice is supposed to be childish and reckless, and the same could be said for becky. because as wg, she's more responsible and mature.
Anyways i just wanted to talk about this because it's my number one fav wordgirl AU and i wish more people payed attention to it.
(Everyone mentioned in the tags has appeared in the fanfic.)
