*taps microphone* is this thing on? Okay…

🎤 THIS IS A REMINDER THAT ALL OF THE ROBINS ARE SMART, GENIUSES IN FACT. THEY ARE IN A FAMILY OF DETECTIVES. THATS LIKE THEIR WHOLE THING. ALL OF THE ROBINS (AND THE REST OF THE BATFAM TOO) ARE CLEVER, STRATEGIC, AND CAPABLE, NOT JUST TIM. (No hate to my boy Tim, though. I love Tim.) YES, EVEN THAT ONE. Thank you. 🎤

Bruce: And if someone comes up to you at school and says ‘hi, I’m one of B’s friends, I’m here to pick you up’ what do you say?

8 year old Dick Grayson: Liar! Bruce doesn’t have any friends!

the moment I heard elphaba's delivery of "there's a girl i know..." in i'm not that girl i knew i had to draw this comic, i strongly recommend listening to it while you read for the full experience!

this comic is a companion to this piece (which was inspired by glinda's delivery of the same line in the i'm not that girl reprise).

pages 1-4 are from elphie's pov, pages 5-8 are from glinda's.

anyone else thinking about effie spending 24 years watching haymitch completely fall apart. effie, who met haymitch by accident, who knows exactly what kind of person he is, who sees him every year on his birthday for 24 years and each year he’s drunker, each year he’s angrier, each year he’s faster to give up. and then they get katniss and peeta. peeta, who is kind and open and understanding, who refuses to give up on haymitch. and katniss, who is so much like haymitch at 16 that it hurts. and over the few days they’re together, effie watches haymitch come back to life. watches him try. watches him have hope. and then they get to keep not one but both of those kids. they get to come home. and then, less then a year later, effie pulls haymitch’s name at the reaping.

~SENSE AND SAGACITY PRESENTS ~

HIS NAME IS MOTIVATION

Every piece of sensible knowledge he had about right and wrong was obscure, covertly coveted by ambition. 

Every thought that consumed him was a contradiction to itself. Overanalyzed and yet, at the same time consisted of nothing but baseless substance. 

He would akin himself to that of the universe if he could. Quiet and unsettling, but bursting with life… If only he could navigate his way there.

He knew feeling this way would hurt himself, but strangely he couldn’t stop thinking about how much he was hurting someone else. 

Most of the time, that “someone” was not even under the impression that a few stray bullets passed their way whenever he would turn his expectations away from them.

No one should have to convince him to make the hard decisions. Or to have the expectations that he does. But here he is yet again taking his muses' inspiration and using it as fuel for his delusions. 

And other times, he could see ever so clearly how shattered and full of holes his own mirror was in front of him. 

But hey, that’s the job.

See, his job is to grab himself by the scruff of his neck and pull himself close enough to that shattered mirror he calls perception. Taking incentive to find the clarity amongst the cracks. To take the clearest pieces and find value to them. 

Aware that even shards of glass have doubled edges.

In a different and mystical world, If he could, he’d become like the ocean; powerful enough to shape his pain into something colorful and inspiring.

Turning those shards of glass into something beautiful and purposeful. 

Then he’d rationalize himself no more than a sprinkle of a raindrop. 

Yes, he knows that he’s not being realistic. And yes he knows he's being contradicting. However, even he knows that somewhere deep down around the guilt and shame, is a wholesome and straightforward man.

He chooses to live as he is with stubborn determination. Shattered but still trying to find the value in being broken.

Letting the shards cast judgement against his soul, while he shines with unexpected brilliance.

speaking of how to train your dragon and creature design, the shift from the really naturalistic art direction and character animation for the first movie's toothless- the face getting flatter, the eyes bigger and closer together, getting rid of the little realistic details like the dust collecting between the scales, the pink splotching where the scales end at the nostrils, the muted markings, the animation making a shift from largely realistic animal behavior to much more anthropomorphic- is such a huge downgrade to me, made worse because it's subtle in such a way that you will sound insane if you mention it

(huge L for the "the audience's capacity to find a creature cute and empathetic and expressive is directly proportional to how much it looks like a human baby" principle of character design because the first one is so so much cuter)
