[denimbex1986]

'There is a scene towards the beginning of Anthony Minghella’s 1999 film, The Talented Mr Ripley, when Jude Law’s character, Dickie Greenleaf, asks Matt Damon’s Tom Ripley what his talent is – to which literature’s most famous fraud replies with: “Forging signatures, telling lies, impersonating practically anybody”. Yet there is another talent of Tom’s that is essential in his ability to deceive those around him into thinking that he is one of them – and that’s his sartorial savoir-faire.

Fashion is of vital importance to Tom, in both the novel by Patricia Highsmith and subsequent adaptations, including that 1999 film, but also 1960’s French New Wave retelling, Purple Noon, and the upcoming black-and-white Netflix version, Ripley, starring Andrew Scott in the titular role. The style of the 1999 movie – Jude Law’s polo shirts, white trousers and boat shoes, Gwyneth Paltrow’s high-waist bikinis, broderie anglaise tops and peasant skirts – is still referenced by designers today (it won costume designer Ann Roth an Oscar at the time).

And while Matt Damon’s character is certainly au fait with fashion, he’s without the means to access it in the same way that the other characters are: he has one shirt he washes out nightly, a threadbare cord jacket Dickie offers to replace, and one pair of dress shoes that he has to wear to the beach. In many ways, the film is at pains to emphasise that, though Tom is good at what he does, he’s not quite good enough – after all, Dickie, Marge (Paltrow) and Freddie Miles (Philip Seymour Hoffman) all figure him out. Yet it is with fashion that he manages to move in these circles. In fact, it’s how he accesses them in the first place, having borrowed a Princeton jacket for a piano recital when he first encounters Dickie’s father, who mistakes him for a student and pleads with him to fetch home his wayward son.

In the novel, Tom is obsessed with clothing, spending hours touching Dickie’s shirts and jackets or fingering the jewellery on his dressing table, saying that doing so “reminded him he existed”. His spectacles serve as a way to switch between characters – like a villainous Clark Kent and Superman – while his decision to wear Dickie’s monogrammed velvet slippers and signet rings after he has (spoiler alert) murdered him, alerts Marge and Freddie to the fact something isn’t right.

Fashion is often used by literature’s anti-heroes as a significant tool in their arsenal to deceive...

“The way we dress does, to an extent, affect how people see us, but it’s context dependent,” explains Dr Dion Terrelonge, a fashion psychologist. “It’s about alignment and how we fit in with people’s expectations. We like to think we don’t judge others based on what they are wearing, but we do. It’s not a negative judgement, necessarily; it’s about interpreting and categorising. It helps us navigate the world.”

Whether or not you wield that power for good or for evil is the differentiator. “When you wear an item of clothing that you associate with a certain person, lifestyle or behaviour, then you’re far more likely to take on those things,” explains Dr Terrelonge. “When people copy other people’s style, they’re trying to align themselves with them and their lifestyle. It’s walking 100 miles in their shoes. It’s shorthand for, ‘this is the kind of person I am’ – you look the part.”

For conners, it’s “fake it til you make it” or “dress for the job you want” writ large. As Tom famously says in his final speech in the film, “I thought it was better to be a fake somebody, than a real nobody.”'

Alright so uhh

Deltarune Psychonauts AU explaination!

For clarification, though psychonauts characters take on the roles OF canon deltarune characters, this does NOT mean they do every exact action there characters do, they are a few storyline and interaction changes. Though I'm doing my best to keep close to the actual storyline while adding some flare here and there.

Spoiles for Chapter 1 of Deltarune under the cut!!

You may be wondering, who is our main three for this story, for those who have seen my previous art post, the one to take on "Susie" is Lili. So..what about the others?

well, I will like to say, that Frazie and Dion will be the ones to take on the roles of “ Kris” and “Ralsei” respectively.

now you must be asking “ Rainy! Why choose Frazie and Dion if Raz wouldn’t also be one of the chosen three? Does that mean he isn’t related to them in this AU?”

Well, that is because I have merged the Holiday and Dreemur families as one mixed role for the AU, and plus, this change in protagonists plays a MAJOR part in my AU. Though don’t worry, Raz is still a Aquato.

Frazie is Lili’s school tutor, as the ten year old has been falling behind in class, Lili gets stressed out and runs off, with Frazie chasing after her. Turns out Lili had been eating the school chalk and instead of reporting the kid, Frazie decides to give her one more chance and takes her to the supply closet to get more, and they stumble into the Dark World.

Where they met Dion, or “ Nio” in this AU ( I literally couldn’t come up with a better nickname please forgive me)

Nio says something along the lines of “ You’re not the hero I was expecting “ to Lili, as he does not believe she is one of the actual heros and thinks she had fallen in by mistake ( He was expecting Raz). This plays a major role in Chapter 2 when Raz does fall into the dark world and Nio having doubts on who is the third person to seal the fountains.

Back on track, Lili gets ticked off by this and runs off, having Frazie and Nio chase after her. This leads to Lili not only wanting to prove herself that she can break stereotypes of “ hero” and “ troublemaker” but also her temporary joining of “ the bad guys “ with Gisu, who takes on the role of Lancer.

Now onto actual roles in this AU, I will only be listing a few and what roles they have in my story.

Kris - Frazie

As the protagonist, Frazie has…a lot to deal with, being apart of a prophecy in another realm, tutoring the troublemaker kid who has threatened multiple people ( including her) to set on fire, Nona being ill, Raz living with Ford to enhance on his psychic abilities, etc. Though she tries to do the right thing, but if you push her too far she will switch up on you.

Susie- Lili

Oh troublemaker Lili…

with her dad being at work and growing up with no mother, Lili has grown to be quite the delinquent. Often stuck in detention and being watched by Norma ( they absolutely loathe each other). The only kid ever even trying to be nice to her from her class being Razputin, who she keeps chasing off. Lili in reality really wants to be noticed by others which leads to her behavior, her time in the dark world seems to be helping her very well and is slowly trying to come out of her shell.

Ralsei - Dion “Nio”

”Nio” is a younger version of Dion during the ages of 15-16, he is much more different than the character he takes the role of, much more straightforward and cold with his beliefs. Only to paint this way as him being “ honest“. Throughout the course of chapter 1 and 2 he has to learn how things may not go as planned and gain Sympathy even for the “villains“, basically it’s him learning how to understand others despite their backgrounds and first impressions.

Noelle- Razputin

ywah,yeah I know Raz isn’t around in Chapter 1 but I wanted to leave atleast SOME information for him to clear things up. Razputin is living under the care of Ford Cruller and Nona, psychic powers DO exist in this AU, and Raz has been taken under Ford’s wing to study his powers in more suitable circumstances. ( Psychic powers do NOT function well in the Dark World) He is the only kid who even tries to interact with Lili and has a major crush on her, despite her constant threats. Despite being good with his powers, there is some school subjects he absolutely SUCKS at which is why he is being tutored by Norma ( Berdly). He is still very close with his family despite living away from them, he is a sweet boy.

Titanic fanfic prompts

Ok. Damn! How good is Storyscape’s Titanic?

It’s hitting all the right notes for me - female empowerment, race and class struggles, LGBTQI relationships…*heart eyes*

It is clear that my love, as Celine Dion would say, will go on and on for these amazing characters, and just like everyone, I can’t get enough - I’m itchin’ for some amazing fanfiction! However with the fandom being so young, I thought instead of waiting (not so patiently) for the wave of fanfiction to come, I would write down some fanfic prompts that I would like to see of this universe. Feel free to add yours in the comments!

My OTP is Adele/Charlie & Adele/Matteo, but love love love Zetta too so all pairings are welcome!

My wish list:

• Noir thriller AU, 1950s, New York. Adele Carram is a rookie reporter, who is determined to investigate the latest string of female-targeted murders of a mysterious serial killer. With the help of Detective Charlie Stoke and mob informant Matteo Vasari, she gets closer to unveiling the identity of the murderer. But he does not like to be chased. With her sister’s safety threatened, and a new target painted on a sultry songstress’s head, Adele must fight both real and systematic villains to bring justice to the slain women. Bonus points on guessing who the songstress and murderer is!

• Christmas AU, Modern, Urban. Bloody hell, need I say more? Give me every possible cliche! New town, new faces, new neighbours, new workmates. Adele & Hileni make the move from country to city. Charlie is the sweet neighbour next door, Matteo is her manager at work, and James is her boss from hell. Zetta is the client she needs to impress. Sabine is her PA. Would love to see other faces too - John, Gustav, Lawrence…Mimi…

• Work Rivalry AU, Modern, London. Adele runs her family’s old book shop that caters to a niche crowd (probably something to do with different cultures, old prints or progressive leanings? Bonus points if it has a little cafe attached that Zetta & Sabine frequents with Mimi). However with the advent of digital books, her business is struggling. Matteo is a representative of an online book business, working on behalf of James to buy over the business. Charlie is the owner of the bakery across the street that supplies her cafe with good shit. Charlie will fight for her business, Matteo will eventually be worn over late in the game, but I’m thinking the real hero will be Zetta, who becomes her angel investor after learning of the closure of the shop.

• Victorian AU. London. Adele & Hileni are mixed race, middle-class women whose future is uncertain when their father’s health rapidly takes a turn for the worse. Adele is thrusted urgently into ‘polite’ society to find a suitor to save her family before she loses the protection of her father. The goal is to find her the right suitor so that their livelihood goes into the right hands (women were not allowed to inherit property/businesses back then). Cue Charlie, Matteo and James vying for the Adele’s hand. But what are their true motivations?

Alas, as tempted as I am, I can’t write them all - at least not anytime soon. Would love to open these prompts up to the community? I’d be very happy with a shout out/tag if you do take up the prompt!

Also, to our beloved, kick-arse @playstoryscape​ team - I hear you are entertaining the idea of a titanic spin-off with the same characters? :D Here’s a cheeky list of them!

SPN 14x13, Lebanon (Yes, That One) -- Thoughts (Spoilers)

It's finally here, guys. The big 300. I've now seen 300 episodes of Supernatural. Phew...what a crazy ride its been. But let's dive into this, shall we.

I'm going to be a little different with this one. This is going to follow a little more of a recap structure. It's the big 300, so of course I had to change it up a little. As I recap this episode, I'll be inserting thoughts I have here and there. I will be recapping from memory so things might get a little out of order. It should go without saying but there will be spoilers. And keep in mind, this is just how I feel and how I interpret things. You may have a completely different interpretation and that's perfectly valid. These are just MY thoughts.

We open up with Sam and Dean in the midst of a hunt. A hunter friend of theirs died and Sam and Dean are trying to recover what was stolen from their friend as well as avenge him. They corner the murderer and in a really cringey fight scene, the murderer meets his maker. Typically, SPN fight scenes are, while not fantastically well put together, but at least put our heroes in a competent light. Honestly, I don't think I've seen such stilted choreography since season 13 in the vamp cave. But anyway, the murderer uses dragon's breath (which is essentially a flamethrower) to escape from Brothers Winchester and it sends them flying in different directions but apparently dragon's breath isn't that hot. Just a small little thing, but if you're standing that close to the fire, you should've had some burn marks, I'm just saying, at the very least, soot on your face. But whatever. Dean gets thrown across the room, Sam ends up on the floor with our villain monologuing to him and I'm uncomfortable with just how incompetent Sam appeared to be in this scene. The villain is monologuing and Sam is just sitting there and doing nothing. What happened to Sam's gun? Why didn't Sam sweep the leg or go for a gut punch? So many things he could've done to get the upper hand in the situation especially since the villain only had a sword. While swords can be very deadly, they're also easier to dodge as opposed to bullets or throwing daggers. But Sam just sits there in fear for a good 5 seconds (and 5 seconds is an eternity both on screen and in a fight) and Dean then shoots the guy and talks about the villain monologuing problem. I'm not mad that Dean got the kill or anything. I don't believe in "staning" culture but if you could at least have made Sam appear competent, that would be nice.

But with the murderer dead, Sam and Dean find out he has a lot of magical junk so they decide to take it back to the bunker. In the files, they find a magical pearl which apparently will grant your greatest desire. Obviously, the boys think, "this is great. Our greatest desire is to evict the douche currently residing in our nagen." But before this greatest wish can be made, we have to make a little side trip because one of the teenagers in Lebanon (the town where the bunker exists) stole the impala. Sam's all, "that kid is in danger, we gotta find her, there's dangerous shit in that car" -- and much to my annoyance, Dean is all, "how dare she take Baby, she better not hurt Baby". *Takes a deep breath* This is an aspect of Dean's character I find super irritating. This weird romance he has with the damn car. How he places the car above things that, realistically, are a little more important. Maybe he should be less concerned about Max scratching the car and more concerned about the fact you have a teenage girl you don't know (or barely know at the very most) in a car with deadly objects and deadly weapons. I get it, this is supposed to be a funny quirk of his and at one point it was but now it's been so overdone that it's more irritating than it is endearing. I really hope the show goes into Dean's character development, and approaches the car as a mirror of how Dean feels about his father and his childhood and as he grows to accept his father more, he'll eventually realize that just like he doesn't need his father, he doesn't need the impala. I'm sure I said something absolutely sacrilegious in the fandom but I'm not going to apologize for it. This whole obsession with the impala is immature and creepy and it makes me worry for Dean's mental health.

So they find the girl but not before the girl's actions releases a serial killer clown ghost (because in an episode dealing with past fears and insecurities, of course it's a clown). They kill the ghost but three of the teenagers see and therefore they get the "talk." And these three also appear to be seen as mirrors for Sam, Dean, and Cas. They weren't very subtle about it, let me tell you.

So after leaving the kids to process the information that the sounds you hear in your closet may actually not be in your head, Brothers Winchester arrive back at the bunker and try out this magical pearl. But behold! It would seem evicting au!Michael is not Dean's greatest desire because Father Winchester is yanked from the past (sometime before the pilot) and dropped into their time. And, I'm not going to say this a lot about this episode, but I like the cinematography used here. It was an excellent usage of the color red symbolizing Brothers Winchester's own repression and isolation they experienced from their father as well as John's revenge focused aggression, blindly lashing out at anything that moves even if it's his own children. And the scene was also shot in a very choppy way meant to be seen as a little confusing...also symbolizing the thoughts of confusion the boys harbor towards their father and much like the confusion John no doubt feels with the turn his life has taken.

Everyone eventually realizes what's up and they fill John in on what's been happening for the past 14 years. And it's a very nice, very touching reunion and then Momma Winchester shows up. John and Mary have a wonderful reunion kiss, its so beautiful. I completely understand how Dean got swept into the moment here. Witnessing something he probably only barely remembers from his childhood, thinking he'll never see it again, and there it is. And just like that it takes him back to a time when life was seemingly perfect. When he had hope, when he had dreams. His parents were alive, they loved each other, they loved him, he had an adorable baby brother. It gave him something he never thought he'd have again. And just the kiss in general, you know. Just so reminiscent of past lovers who never thought they would see each other again suddenly seeing each other and everything they used to feel all coming up at once. It was wonderful. Think Celine Dion, Its All Coming Back to Me Now and I think you'll have the tone of this moment nailed down.

But Sam and Dean leave these two to have their moment and Sam tells Dean there's going to be repercussions for this. Time travel is a funky thing. But they decide to have one family dinner and think about the consequences after that. Dean asks Mary for the ingredients to make her Winchester Surprise and John and Sam have a really touching moment. John feels the need to apologize to Sam about everything that happened between them. And Sam tells him it doesn't matter. Their fight happened a long time ago, he's put it in the past and moved on. Sam also tells his father that the biggest regret he has is never having the chance to say good-bye. Their last conversation being an argument and then Sam finding John dead on the hospital floor. This scene got me so choked up like you don't even know. I've been through this. Lost someone while we were on shaky terms, I never got the chance to say good-bye, so many things were left unsaid and I would kill for an opportunity Sam has here where I can finally tell that person it's okay and rectify the bad blood that occurred between us. And Sam acknowledges it as well. This opportunity he has right here and now is all he's ever wanted.

Sam and Dean go off to buy these ingredients but this is when they start noticing the time travel problems. The future is starting to change, but it's more of a ripple effect right now. They haven't changed yet, but time around them has and eventually the ripple is going to smother out and their new future will take hold. Sam calls it a time paradox. And because of the paradox, we're treated to season 4 Zachariah and Castiel. But in regards to Castiel here, it's important to note that he's more pre-season 4. He hasn't delved into hell yet to get Dean out so he doesn't really have any of those rebellious feelings yet. And no, I'm not going to quote THE Destiel line. In all honesty, I've come to hate the line. It's been over-used so much that it's basically lost all meaning to me. Fandom and canon just keep on poking at it, now it's just something I roll my eyes at whenever I hear it. I am sad that we got season 4 Zachariah. When they were saying we were going to get a different Zachariah, I was so hoping for a role reversal kind of situation but apparently the "different Zachariah" is meant to be interpreted as "different from season 13 au!Zachariah" who actually isn't all that different. PR is not show running, people. Take a grain of salt with everything they say. But the Wing Team is on a quest to find out who meddled with time. Even going so far as to threaten to murder a diner full of people. Thankfully, Sam and Dean stop that from commencing but are in a real shock that with this time paradox, it now means Cas is no longer the Cas they all know and love. That if John stays here, they're going to lose their best friend (in Sam's case) and potential lover (in Dean's case). But the scene plays out how you would expect it to. Zach is his usual douchey self and is giving Sam cancer just like he used to (good times, let me tell ya) but Sam remembers he has an angel blade on him and kills Zach. Nowhere near as badass as it was in season 5, but still cathartic. And next we get to see a re-creation of the tomb scene from season 8 with Dean and Cas in a match of fisticuffs. But this Cas has never met Dean so Dean really has no chance of reaching Cas. But Sam in some quick thinking rembers the sigil that will cast angels out and uses it. The boys make a break for the bunker and everyone gets filled in.

Sam and Dean realize that in order for everything to go back they way it was, they have to smash the pearl. Everything will be forgotten but everything will also revert back to the way it once was. Sam wishes there was a way John could remember everything but Dean tells him he prefers that John doesn't. John going back with knowledge of the future could change who they are and Dean doesn't want that change. He wants to be exactly who he is right here and right now which is just so much progress. John tells them to do it because if the timeline changes, Mary's resurrection could never have happened and she'll eventually disappear. Even though he's going back to a time where he will die, trading himself for Mary is more than worth it. He'd rather have Mary exist in the world and himself die as opposed to living the rest of his days without her. And maybe it's because I have so much Kingsom Hearts nonsense floating through my brain, even if he doesn't remember, this will have left a mark on his heart. It'll leave him feeling something even if he doesn't understand why he feels that way. Everyone has the family dinner they always wanted, John also apologizes to Dean for everything, he tells both of his sons just how proud he is of them, he and Mary have another moment and the pearl is broken. Father Winchester disappears and everyone is crying. Our most beloved Cas returns and remarks on why everyone is acting so weird and Dean tells him they have a story to tell him. I kind of wish we got to see them tell Cas but I understand why we don't. Story-Telling 101. Don't repeat information the audience already knows, instead, insinuate the character is being filled in off-screen. John wakes up in his time in the impala and remarks on the good dream he had and drives off to his dark future. And the episode ends.

So what did I think of this episode? Honestly, I'm of two minds on it. Narratively and character-wise, this was a really good episode. But structurally and production-wise, not so much.

It had a really good narrative, the acting was fantastic, but on a cinematic level, My Chuck, was this episode dull to look at. The directing was just extremely stilted, apart from John's entrance, I don't think there was a single scene I thought was visually appealing. The musical score was very bland. It makes me really sad that there was so much hype for this episode but so little effort put into the production of it. Of the milestone episodes, 200 is probably my favorite.

I also say this episode kind of faltered on a structural basis, as well. While I appreciate the use of the Lebanon characters, I feel like they were largely unnecessary for the actual plot. And when they were first pitching this episode to us last year, I was imagining the Lebanon townsfolk being more of a primary aspect of the episode. While I enjoyed the themes and the mirrors with the Lebanon element, I feel like this would've been a better structured episode without them and given the episode more time with the family reunion and the Wing Team.

But I do love the narrative themes in this episode. Choosing between your past family and your future family. Putting your past behind you and acknowledging yourself as an individual. I've seen a few posts lamenting about how they dislike that Dean didn't yell at John or anything along those lines and honestly, I feel like that's the point. Dean has grown past that. He's acknowledged that as part of his past and has moved on from it. We all have trauma we associate with our parents. And while yelling at our parents might make us feel better, will it really heal us? Will it give us what we really need? And that's the whole thing with Dean, isn't it? Want vs Need. Dean's greatest desire was never to face John again and tell him how much he hates him -- no, Dean's greatest desire was to face his father again and not see himself in his father. To realize he's become his own person that isn't his father and that he likes that person and he doesn't want that to change. That's what Dean wanted. That was the self-acceptance Dean needed and I'm really excited to see where this all heads for Dean as a character. Now that he's accepted himself, is he going to allow himself to be happy now?

Essentially, this episode was a beautiful episode about family, about the progression of family, about finding acceptance and forgiveness and being able to put it behind you and look towards the future and I thought that was extremely beautiful and well done. I'd give this episode a B+. Sadly, I do knock it down because of the production value.
