I just realized if I want to write about Oppenheimer for my final paper for my west class I probably have to rewatch it and it is So Damn Long. I’m also writing about it in comparison to a production I saw of Doctor atomic (the Oppenheimer opera (yes there’s an Oppenheimer opera)) but that will be a little bit easier bc I’m pretty sure no footage exists of that production so like at least I don’t have to rewatch that

#if curious the class is like. stories about the American west #and it’s fantastic.#one of the best I’ve ever taken #I was this close to writing about breaking bad for my final lowkey but I don’t have a Thesis #and I do have a Thesis here which is that Oppenheimer sucks #well. more. I want to look at how the movie Oppenheimer uses tropes of westerns #like. the single figure of an empty west reshaping the world #and the like the attraction of that as a story #and the thing is that it just like. is not fucking true #where they were resting wasn’t empty there were people within a couple of miles of where they tested #*testing #and they made a conscious decision to test anyway bc they decided that they couldn’t risk breaking secrecy #and that is NOT in the movie #and I think a lot of discourse I’ve seen about the movie about whether it glamourizes Oppenheimer or not #is kinda informed by that #bc my take on it is like I don’t think it’s depicting oppenheimer as a good person #but it is still depicting him as a story #like his guilt and experiences are very abstract and Greek tragedyesque promethean whatever whatever #it examines things in grand arcs and asks the question of to what degree he is complicit #but doesn’t show that conversation #doesn’t show anything beyond the very abstract #whereas the opera though it is hella stylized due to genre #when possible it draws from the historical record and uses the actual things people said #however it also recognizes that like there’s a lot that didn’t make it into the historical record and tries to fill those gaps #like. not perfect still and like while I think the opera did better there’s still much to be said for like. accessibility esp #anyway that’s the essay outline I was procrastinating it by posting but I think that’s basically the outline right there

a couple scribbles i cleaned up. also i think i like drawing him in varying states of distress

#i desperately want to know what happened the first time he cried #actually is that something he can do? is he capable of it?#i feel like he wouldn't like it...#since crying is messy and we all know he enjoys/values his appearance greatly #i mean cmon. its an involuntary loss of composure. and especially if he doesnt understand what/why its happening #so in my mind rn hed be idk... kinda desperate to stop crying & act fine?#HES SO FASCINATING. WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM <3 #many things probably!#what to do when you're a puppet created as a blank slate while everyone around you already Knows Shit and Understands Feelings #scribble salad #welcome home #welcome home puppet show #welcome home fanart #welcome home wally #wally darling #i know there's a lot of Head Empty jokes abt him #but honestly he gives the vibes of thinking constantly #always absorbing information and considering and learning and Forming Opinions #he LOOKS head empty. but he isnt.#i just cant imagine him never not Thinking #unless he really is head empty in which case. good for him. i support him no matter what. hes just like me<3

Taking pride in One's own appearance.

#you people are becoming my guinea pigs for my finally learning how to communicate information via comics. a thing ive needed to practice at #also BLEGH. YUCK. andrew hussie was right candy makes you sick. this is a little too saccharine for me. yeesh. let me get back to the meat.#isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #in stars and time spoilers #isat fanart #in stars and time fanart #isat siffrin #isat loop #sifloop #doodlebyte #'let me get back to the meat' i say eyeing something similarly sickly in my sketches. at least it's mildly tormented as a counterbalance...#you people have no idea how much im having to stay my own hand. oh i can draw miserable nudity but the most basic of fluff? visceral #anyway i dont know the logistics of picking up a glass eye or where loop got money (besides pilfering from siffrin) & ive previously drawn #sif with a vague blank middle-grey eye as either being scarred over or a blank occular prosthesis put in quickly at the nearest town #i dont know that they'd have a glass eye during the game but considering prosthesis are reccomended to keep the skull etc from deforming #id imagine it would probably come up postgame as something to do now theyre not on a time limit trying to save the country #plus i assume that having it gouged at by a sadness wasnt exactly a clean wound by any measure #all this to say. idk i just wanted to get some information across in comic form to Test my Abilities #and we're far enough down now to say my absolute most wretchingly sweet fluff headcanon that actually inspired this #which is that i think siffrin gets into the habit of not wearing the eyepatch around loop so they kinda match.#and as a signifier to the other that they're letting their guard down around them. vulnerability etc.#just kinda wearing it around their neck so they don't lose it

i'm sure this post has been made before but the "the list of people i trust and things i believe is down to no one and nothing" to "i trust angus mcdonald entirely" journey that taako takes in the span of roughly one in-fiction hour during lunar interlude reunion tour is so important to me. adventuring partners and friends who have saved his bacon more times than he can count? nah fuck em. organization that has protected him and given him a purpose and fresh start? new stone of farspeech who dis. this nerdy ass boy detective? "angus i trust you implicitly and here's the 100% exact truth as we understand it"

#taako is such an enigma. he's sexy he's unknowable he doesn't give a shit he cares more than anyone in the world #his relationship with angus is soooooooooo. to me.#stuff #taz #taz balance #the adventure zone #the adventure zone balance #taako #angus mcdonald #like also i know that taako says that first thing and then continues trusting magnus and merle and even barry kinda #but the fact that his verbal statements on trust just leap from point A to point B #within the span of about an hour maybe less and with like. NOT that much information gained in between statements #taako swift: i don't trust nobody and nobody trust me #taako 5 seconds later: o shit i forgot about boy detective. i trust 1 somebody

In which they're all artists working for the same animation studio (and these two still bicker like angry kittens)

#I'm sorry to inform you this AU has kinda rotted my brain #there's so much mini plots to it but no overarching story so it's just abunch of little guys having their own mini dramas #like we're in The Office but make it fantasy artsy #just snipe me already #the biggest stake here is whether or not Shadowheart will fix her posture or become a geriatric 25 year old #and whatever the fuck is going on with the moon lesbians #augh #baldur's gate 3 #animation studio AU #lae'zel #Shadowheart #shadowzel #my art

This was meant to be a warmup sketch but then I remembered how much I love adornment

#my art #oc stuff #oc artwork #rain world #rain world ancients #rw ancients #coa #adornment #shes got no fixed design as of yet but i like this outfit on her #its kinda dressed down #a little informal #but also acceptable to go out in public #with her mask of course #which i havent drawn properly...#she could also probably work in this fine #going out to starbucks and then crunching numbers for 12 hours outfit

Not the son you were looking for

The Fentons were sure that their son was dead. They didn't understand why Phantom pretended to be their little Danny, nor why he made so many illogical excuses like "being a hybrid" and so on. At first they played along, but they were angry, angry that the truth was being kept from them, angry because they were sure that the supposed hero had done something to their son, and he even managed to trick Jazz!

It all made sense when Phantom was declared Ghost King, of course, he surely had Danny captive! It shouldn't be hard for the King of the Dead to manipulate a soul, maybe he was gaining power from that. They were sure, they had seen the King argue with one of his ghost-capturing devices and keep it always guarded, a big secret surely.

Unfortunately for them, the GIW had disbanded, so they had to turn to their second choice: The Justice League. It was an organization of heroes that had only recently formed, but the Fenton's were sure they would help them, so they contacted them and explained the situation. The League was skeptical but when they heard that a child might be in danger they acted immediately.

They didn't confront the King directly, they weren't idiots, but they stole the thermos, willing to give the child trapped in it a break. They could deal with the Ghost King later.

Unfortunately for everyone, as soon as the Fentons hit the "release" button what came out was not their son's soul, no. Dan Phantom watched them with a wide grin, free for the first time in years. The League had a feeling they had made a grave mistake.
