Flowers for Algernon

[raspberry-radiation]

I was traumatized by Flowers for Algernon and was forced to watch something about it again recently and just had to make this for it. It was such a good story but it was heart breaking and I cry at the thought of these two. Please enjoy this art and remember with me if you, too, know the pain of this story.

"Algernon is a pleasant companion. At mealtimes he takes his place at the small gateleg table. He likes pretzels, and today he took a sip of beer while we watched the ball game on TV. I think he rooted for the Yankees."

На днях прочитал книгу. Да да вспомнил как выглядят буквы. «Цветы для Элджернона» Дэниел Киз. Очень советую всем, особенно понравиться тем кто увлекаться психологией. Эта книга уже стала классикой. По ней есть даже фильм, но я не смотрел советовать не стану. В этой книги интересен не только сюжет, и изменения персонажа. Но и то как изменяться сама книга, слова, пунктуация, выражения, ошибки. Всё это будет изменяться вместе с нашим персонажем. Фильм точно такого не передаст. #цветыдляэлджернона #элджернон #дэниелкиз #flowersforalgernon #flowers #algernon #maus #fanart #skull #maus #chamomile #traditionalart #pencildrawing #sketch #skeleton #tatoo https://www.instagram.com/p/CAV-cJSDZnI/?igshid=1aqhh8lbsza6g

Alice Kinnian is valid(tm) and deserved better. I’d fight Keyes for making her and Charlie suffer.

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power S01E04 - Flowers for She-Ra

Is someone going to give She-Ra some flowers? Maybe Catra? Maybe a secret admirer? I'm not sure how literal these episode titles are so it could be something completely different. Maybe it's a weird "Flowers for Algernon" interpretation between She-Ra and Adora. I have no idea what's going to happen so let's do this!

That's incredibly pink after a life in a dark green barrack.

Of course, what habitable room _doesn't_ have a waterfall?

First you shower in the waterfall and then you use the three shells.

Oooh, the episode title _has_ to be about this flower princess.

Someone should _really_ give her some new clothes. I doubt walking around with the Horde symbol on her back is a good idea.

This show is a treasure that never stops giving.

Awesome. I mentioned last episode how Angella seemed to accept Adora only because of She-Ra and this really confirms it. She couldn't care less about Adora, it's all about the power she has (and Glimmer) and after this tiny glimpse into her past, it makes sense.

I mean, it already made sense considering they are at war with the Horde, but it makes _more_ sense since it's personal.

It looks like Catra wasn't the only one who liked sleeping in other people's beds.

I'm trying to put myself in her place and I _really_ can't. How much does Adora trust Glimmer to be able to fall asleep next to her like it's nothing?

I keep thinking about how wrong I was about Glimmer.

"Everyone else is dead. And you the horde killed them" Angella, probably.

Worldbuilding~

So, each kingdom has their own princess? Is Bright Moon just another kingdom or is it somehow special (besides being the base of the rebellion)? I thought Princess was just a title (with Glimmer being both a Magical Princess and a "Daughter of the Queen" Princess) so this is new.

Someone has to do the kingdom's accounting, Bow.

...that's angella's seat, isn't it?

Oh. That's definitely worse.

It's like Angella doesn't even know what the show is about. _Of course_ they are going to engage the horde.

In-universe She-Ra fanart. This is amazing.

Hey, I didn't expect Catra to be so honest about her feelings.

And she really cares about Shadow Weaver. Enough to try and help her.

I love these tiny details.

But _can_ Adora stay as She-Ra as long as she want? This feels like the start of another episode about limits.

She-Ra. Fourth episode and already breaking hearts.

I try not to take screenshots every time I laugh or I'd just screenshot the entire show but look at this!

I feel that info shouldn't be offered so lightly, even to She-Ra

Oh, she's one of those.

Was Shadow Weaver a princess? Or maybe she stole the source of power of a princess? Hm.

Or maybe not, considering Hordak says _he_ gave Shadow Weaver her powers. But I think she knows more than she's telling, did she know about Adora's potential and destiny? Was she trying to protect her or trying to get her powers for herself?

oh god this place is cursed if they have _party_ kale

The more Bow talks the more I like him. Big Sokka energy, if he had been likable from the start.

No pressure! Also the subtitles are really selling short what Perfuma wants.

It wouldn't surprise me if that's the actual plot of an episode from the 80s original

I mean, it's something.

Forget about the sociopathic horse, _that's_ the magical pet she should have.

I'd be a lot more surprised than Glimmer here. Can She-Ra transform _anything_ into rainbows?

“Someone punched so many trees that our ecosystem is dying.”

Finally!

I really like this. Adora has strengths that She-Ra doesn't have, that no one in any of the kingdoms have. She _knows_ the Horde and she can use that to her advantage. Who needs She-Ra when you have the perfect spy? I'm sure they'll need her later on to kick some ass but this is a good start to re-build Adora's confidence.

Oh well, it couldn't work perfectly the first time.

"Warchimes"? I'm dying here

Huh. I expected this from Glimmer, having magic powers and all, but even Bow seems to have zero endurance. Another advantage that only Adora has, having trained her entire life.

And this is how Perfuma discovers she loves killing people.

I find it a bit disturbing that the soldiers sound like kids. I was mostly joking last episode when I mentioned child soldiers but it doesn't look like I was wrong.

Hitting things really hard with a sword, the one sure way to heal things.

Ooh, mystery lore.

LOL. Nothing like the promise of more violence to move things along.

It's just phase! Ah, the memories. Who wasn't a superhero for a month or two in their youth?

Well, that's creepy.

* clunk *

Aww, this is so cute.

---

It looks like things are slowing down to start introducing the... wow, there are a lot of princesses in the OP.

Perfuma was... okay. At the very least she's funny and she seems to have learned the lesson about having to do things to make them happen so that's good.

That leaves four more characters, plus Spinnerella and Netossa who are a mystery. And the crab lady. That's... 5 episodes? That seems okay, spending the first half of the season introducing everyone while doing double duty giving Adora (and probably Glimmer and Bow) more depth.

The glimpse at Adora's insecurities was interesting. Anyone would prefer to be their super powerful other self, especially when everyone else _already_ loves that alter-ego. Adora gave up everything to join the rebellion but that means nothing to all who have lost loved ones because of the Horde. I wonder if they'll continue exploring how Adora seemed willing to give up even herself by staying as She-Ra.

Something else that caught my attention was Shadow Weaver. Rather, Shadow Weaver's interest in Adora. She didn't seem to know about She-Ra until she saw the recordings but I wonder why she's so interested in her. Is it just a corrupted sense of love? They act a lot like a family. Which makes sense considering Shadow Weaver seems to have adopted both Catra and She-Ra when they were young, but it's still surprising. That entire dynamic is just drama waiting to happen (and chances are I'm going to love it when it does happen.)

- Are the people at Bright Moon going to think Adora is a spy thanks to the "Shadow Spies" finding out about their plans?

- Of all the princesses in the OP, I really like the mechanic's design. I hope her intro episode is soon.

I think that's all, until next time!

the worst fact about the Flowers for Algernon fanbase being infinitely small/nonexistent is that there’s no happy AU fanfics out there and I need them because that book hurt me and I need something to soothe my broken heart
