Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --
That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:
This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:
These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.
Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.
Some I know from childhood from games, shows and so on. Some I only know cause I see so much of them. Some I had no choice but to know from how popular they are. I still know to many and I have no bloody idea if that's everyone.
@billinshoes who asked for this. But I'll add my good friends @istadris @itsavee4117 @darknadaworld and @fruitytiff so we can all suffer together with this.
robin's position in the Family is so interesting to me
she seems to kind of be representing the family publically through her career, and yet she holds basically no direct political power in penacony. she was raised by the oak family but only sunday was fully informed about the stuff going on internally. the line in the 2.3 quest that she is "as good as her brother" (or something similar) implies that the high-ranking family members didn't really value her all that much prior to the trailblaze mission's events
but she is so recognizable and such a big public figure that she still generates penacony good publicity and exposure, which, for the family, means more profit and an easier time covering up their asses about any corruption happening behind the scenes. and that makes her very valuable in the family.
and for that reason, I feel like robin being this shining beacon of harmony was also very appreciated by followers of the order because of her personal connection to both gopher wood and sunday, who were both very involved with all that. and in a way she just increases their trustworthiness by simply existing
her having no political power and limited information also works to prevent her from distancing herself from the family because of its corruption. she would not stand for things like the order, so the only way to keep her involved is to just not tell her shit
basically my point is that robin and sunday were both kind of taken advantage of by the family and raised to be their figureheads
Theoretically I understand that the time suits are hard to don and shed, but comparing the modesty standard here to the start of the comic is at once strange and amusing
To everyone who is putting a JayDick spin on Mean Girls are completely missing the absolutely beauty of the TimDick romance, Jason & Tim bromance, and the Tim vs Damian conflict that is perfect for this movie.
Strange man who came to me in my dream as a TRAFFIC CONE
I'll talk about it more under the cut so look here if you want to hear about my dream ⬇️
Ok ok so like for starters if you've ever played Kirby and the forgotten land my dream felt like a crossover of that and portal and like aperture was really just an abandoned circus instead like wondaria and also I was Kirby in the dream
But like this core guy shade shows up at some point with one of his co-workers but I don't remember what they were talking about then he disappears to god knows where when he comes back hes human but looked like the villain from secret life of pets 2 with more hair ??
But like at some point in the dream it's chell's perspective and she like got out and is leaving the big ol like aperture circus tent thing and shade follows her outside (at this point he's a normal core again) and is like "congrats :) you can go home good job!!" And right afterwards fucking birds swoop down, grab him and fly away and right then was where I woke up like what the fuck
Oh and that's not all I took a nap yesterday and the only thing I vividly remember dreaming about was shade coming to me just to tell me he's made of recyclable materials
I too expected a lot of backlash for Eirik being an RO, which is why I sent in an ask trying to explain how it was kinda normal ages ago... So I am quite surprised aswell, super happy though!
Not an ask but OH MY GOSH I just played the demo and I am honestly hooked! I can't wait to read more! Though make sure you take your time and don't stress yourself. Hope you have a nice day!💕💕
Yes! Thanks very much. I was prepared to go to war for Eirik 😭
A week ago if you told me that I'd have people barking for Eirik in my inbox I'd call you a fucking liar.
But look at how the tables have turned. 🤡
And thank you so much! I'm very much a perfectionist so I do force myself to slow down a lot.
Something I really hope for when we get a full season of TADC, and I mean this sincerely, is that it'll have "filler" episodes. I hope that for every string of lore/plot heavy episodes, we'll get an episode in-between that's just the characters going on one of Caine's dumb adventures, just interacting and doing goofy funny stuff together. I wanna see them character dynamics take the spotlight baby!
