Could you do an analysis of the prince of life classpect

The Prince of Life [symbols: crown, vines]

The Prince class has its basis in Machiavelli’s The Prince. An example would be Prince Hamlet from the Shakespeare play.

The Life aspect’s main theme is growth. You can find its official description here.

A Prince of Life is among those who alter energy to influence. This is the “classpect group” they belong to. Members include: the Sylph, Maid, Bard, and Prince of Life/Doom. These classes are all opposites or inverses of each other that alter the Life/Doom dichotomy (energy to influence). A description of classpect groupings can be found here.

The Prince of Life actively destroys the Life aspect. Active classes tell themselves what to do and do so for their own benefit. They are more likely to stand up for themselves, but more likely to be cruel. Princes and Bards destroy their aspect and everything it symbolizes, while using that same aspect as a weapon. In doing so, they leave their opposite aspect in their wake. Due to their actions, they come across as their opposite aspect. Simplified, the Prince of Life is motivated by themselves to destroy growth. In personality, they come across as the Doom aspect, seemingly defined by caution.

On the subject of personality, the Prince of Life wants to have control over things and keeps trying even if they fail. Personality descriptions can be found here.

Their archetype is the Promised Child, defined by control and growth. Archetypes are explained here.

Their opposite is the Bard of Doom, who passively destroys caution.

Their inverse is the Sylph of Doom, who passively assists caution.

A classpect or “god tier” is an individual’s best self. All classpects go through a journey from unrealized, to struggle, to realized. When a character is unrealized, they neutrally exist as their inverse. On their struggle, they will wildly flip back and forth between their inverse and true classpect. In their worst moments they will act as their inverse, in their best their true classpect. When realized, they will stabilize as their true classpect. They will still have room to grow, but will become happier, more successful people.

This means that the Prince of Life begins life motivated by others to assist caution. When their struggle arrives and they are at their worst, they will continue this behavior in negative extremes. However, when at their best, they will find purpose in instead destroying growth for themselves. When realized, they will stabilize and continue to destroy the Life aspect actively, in a positive way.

They share their archetype with the Heir of Blood, the Child Promised.

The Prince of Life would quest on a planet similar to the Land of Doom [Opposite Aspect] and Life [Aspect]. An example would be the Land of Grime and Persistence. An explanation of planet naming conventions can be found here.

Two possible gods, or denizens, to reign over their planet would be Hebe (Goddess of Youth) or Asclepius (God of Medicine). Other Life aspect denizens can be found here.

When the Prince of Life completes their planet quests and dies on their quest bed, they would rise to ascension on the wings of butterflies (symbols of pollination). A list of soul animals can be found here.

The characters that I have currently classpected as Princes of Life are: Zathrian from Dragon Age, John Kramer from Saw, Baby Doll from Batman, Alex Mercer from Prototype, Iron Man from the Avengers, and Ultron from the Avengers.

Victorian Adamgail Siblings AU anyone?

Little unedited drabble:

Abigail and Adam are the children of Garret Jacobs and Louise Hobbs. Garret Jacobs is new money, taking advantage of the ever growing industrial revolution and growing a hunting empire selling his animal meat and pelts. Louise, his wife, tragically died from tuberculosis a few years prior, and his children saw a drastic change in their father's personality. He had always been slightly short tempered, but this increased tenfold. He berated his son, spitting vile words at the man anytime he could, and obsessed over his daughter, doting on her, refusing to let her step outside on her own for fear of her catching an illness. And whenever one of them stepped out of line, he became violent. Meticulously leaving bruises and marks which could be covered in public.

On a particularly foggy evening, Abigail wakes to a thud coming from the dining hall. She rushes down the staircase, nightgown fluttering behind her, to see her father, dead on the floor, the moonlit night shining down on the knife beside him. And then she saw her brother. Face white as a sheet and hands stained with blood.

"He said he was going to take care of you. Be certain no harm would ever come to you. I... I acted before I could think."

Abigail panics, her eyes fluttering, hands shaking. She's not even sure how she's breathing before Adam gives her something else to gasp about.

"I have an idea. But I'll need your help."

And there in the dining room, which appeared to be growing colder by the second, Adam discussed his plan.

They were going to frame their father's death on the Jigsaw killer.

Short character details and other notes below (also rushed):

Abigail Hobbs: A timid yet determined girl who has recently taken a place as Dr Gordon's apprentice, despite the setback of her gender. However, while trying to distance herself from her father's death, she's pulled closer to a different kind of monster.

Adam Hobbs: A young, handsome man who is obsessed with any recent developments of a new technology, the camera. With this futuristic device, he captures everything he can, the flowing lakes near his home, the crowds of people in town, and the butchered bodies of jigsaw victims, trying to string together the murders himself. He just hopes his recent stunt doesn't make him a new suspect.

Dr Lawrence Gordon: The town's doctor and coroner, who has been overseeing the recent jigsaw murders. He's a kind man, the perfect role model for any aspiring gentleman, but the more he goes down the jigsaw rabbit hole, the more he's certain he won't come out unscathed.

John Kramer: An extremely wealthy man whose family benefited greatly from the industrial revolution, owning factories all over the country. Those who have met him say he's somewhat of a mystery, as if the only way he can communicate is via riddles, but he's rarely seen in public.

Jill Kramer: John Kramer's wife. Unlike her husband, she is seen plenty, always out and being gawked at from the public. Her beauty is well known, and other ladies have tried and failed poorly to imitate her natural born drace and decorum.

Amanda Kramer: John and Jill Kramer's adoptive daughter. If it weren't for the jigsaw murders, her name would be the only one to leave people's snarled lips. She has a knack for scandal, throwing extravagant parties with a limited guestlist. The recent rumours are that she's been seen with various ladies of the night.

Mark Hoffman: Born from a comfortable position of wealth, Mark decided to leave behind the quiet pleasures of his countryside upbringing in favour of being a detective lieutenant. He quickly rose through the ranks, and now finds himself in the middle of the jigsaw murders. However, he appears to be calm about the recent killings, informing the public time and time again that the killer will be found and face justice.

Peter Strahm: Unlike his partner, Peter was born in this town and loathes what the murders have turned the place into, a centre of torture, reading newspaper after newspaper before ripping them up. He's determined he and Hoffman will put a stop to the violence, and yet... He can't help but feel suspicious of his partner in crime.

Set in the mid 1850s purely due to the fact that I love the fashion of that decade. Big skirts my beloved <3

You'll also notice that I haven't added any of the other Hannibal characters. That is because idk! :D Too many characters is hard to keep up with and 3 detectives is gonna get cramped, yknow?

I do wanna add Alana and Margot in somehow tho... I'll make em fit

This probably won't turn into an actual fic or anything (definitely not until I finish my recent one) but who knows

[theflirtmeister]

Share what ideas are wallowing in ur mud pit so we can be filthy fantasizers together

fuck it i'm never going to write this because i hate writing police fiction (hey, who here was around for the dead boy walking 100k vampire fic) but ANYWAY:

strahm is a smalltown cop, he does boring police stuff, perez is his fellow police officer and they are besties, one day strahm comes into work and perez is like "hey, crazy old lady says that someone has broken into (well known abandoned house called the castle), can you go check it out"

and strahm is like "ughhh i want to do proper policework, i don't want to go arrest dumb kids breaking into houses" and perez is like “noooo you have to because I don’t want to” so strahm gets in his little cop car and zooms over to the castle

and yeah it’s true, there’s lights on and someone is moving about, and strahm bangs on the door and is like “POLICE!!” and waits on the front door step kicking his foot against the wall and finally the door creaks open…

and the biggest fucking guy is standing there, and his face is all ripped up, and strahm literally does a fucking double take because uhhhhh who the fuck is this hot guy covered in blood!!

And the guy is like “what the fuck do you want” and strahm is like “did you break and enter” and the guy says “NO, im here legally” and marches off to get paperwork and yep, the guy legally owns the property and it says his name is john kramer.

and strahm is like “well JOHNATHAN I’ll see you around” and Johnathan is like “LOL U SUCK POLICE OFFICER STRAHM” and slams the door

and thus begins the love affair of strahm and hoffman!! they spend the entire fic chasing each other and driving each other insane!! Lawrence turns up at one point and strahm assumes they’re dating!!

also obviously Hoffman is plotting jill’s murder the entire time and is secretly leaving evidence that strahm is the jigsaw apprentice!! but oh no.... hot police officer is v hot and they end up fucking a lot <3

probably ends with hoffman revealing his crimes to strahm and is like RUN AWAY WITH ME!! and strahm is like.... OKAY and they thelma and louise it

I have written one line for this fic and it’s this:

“Look out,” Perez says. “Frankenstein’s monster is back.” “Shut up,” Strahm says. “He’ll hear you.”

Is Meryl Streep as good as an actress as people say she is? I really love how you always provide feedback, you’re so good at backing up your points. And also I trust your opinion. Thank you Zal!

thank you! so katharine hepburn actually thought meryl streep was too technical. she apparently said she's "too cerebral and overly reliant on technique" which is what i mean when i talk about people like anne hathaway and it's not that i don't understand that criticism but what makes meryl an excellent actress to me other than versatility which i'll get to in a second is that i think she's very much in control of her performance but she starts off contained and maybe a little inaccessible and then can get more and more raw as the scene goes on and whichever character she's playing unravels more and more and we get to know her character's true emotions and true thoughts more and more (yes through dialogue but also how meryl plays it) and i actually think that's very human. so for instance. this scene

at the beginning i feel like you can see the beats and it's very contained and then as it goes on and as she gets teary-eyed and as her voice gets deeper or harder or wavers and as she gets louder or softer and as she gets more earnest as a viewer you get more emotional. she controls the viewer with her performance. i think it's the same thing with kramer vs kramer

in terms of versatility the whole thing is that people are like meryl can play pretty much any role convincingly like we are never sitting down having a conversation about how meryl was miscast in a role and i do think her ability to lose herself in a role and play different parts with conviction is proven.

her roles as mary-louise in big little lies? the anxiety she made me feel? the disgust? especially in this scene?

that's not miranda priestly

and miranda priestly is not sister aloysius

and i'm showing her subtle and contained stuff -- although she does get to an outburst in this scene -- but she also has no problem going over the top. death becomes her is ICONIC

and i mean i did NOT care for into the woods but i believed her as the witch

so i do believe she's an excellent actress but i probably don't exalt her the way other people do.

Jean Harlow and Una Merkel in Bombshell (Victor Fleming, 1933)

Cast: Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Frank Morgan, Franchot Tone, Una Merkel, Pat O'Brien, Ted Healy, Ivan Lebedeff, Isabel Jewell, Louise Beavers, Leonard Carey, Mary Forbes, C. Aubrey Smith, June Brewster. Screenplay: John Lee Mahin, Jules Furthman, based on a play by Caroline Francke and Mack Crane. Cinematography: Harold Rosson. Art direction: Merrill Pye. Film editing: Margaret Booth. Music: William Axt.

Bombshell is one of the earliest examples of screwball comedy, with a screenplay by John Lee Mahin and Jules Furthman that's wall-to-wall wisecracks and frantic antics. It also has more sexual innuendo than later examples of the genre, since it was released a year before the Production Code began to be enforced by the notoriously blue-nosed Joseph Breen. There's even a joke about the censors in the script, in which the movie star played by Jean Harlow is being called on for retakes on Red Dust (1932), because of objections from the Hays Office, the code's precursors. (It's a bit of an inside joke: Mahin wrote the screenplay for Red Dust and Victor Fleming directed it.) The cast is peerless: Harlow plays Lola Burns, a star said to be modeled on Clara Bow, and Lee Tracy is her hyperactive press agent "Space" Hanlon. Tracy has a way of exploding into rooms that evokes Kramer on Seinfeld. Fleming was probably not the ideal director for this fast-paced nonsense, which deserves a looser, lighter touch like that of Ernst Lubitsch or Howard Hawks, but he gives his cast freedom and they're equal to the challenge. Watch the ensemble, for example, demonstrate perfect comic timing in some of the scenes that Fleming films in long takes. Even Franchot Tone, one of the more forgettable leading men of the 1930s, demonstrates unexpected comic skill in the scene in which, as the phony Boston socialite Gifford Middleton, he woos Lola with lines like "I'd like to run barefoot through your hair." Also on hand is Louise Beavers, playing a maid of course, in an exchange that wouldn't get by Breen a year later: When Harlow asks what happened to the negligee she gave her, Beavers replies that "it got all tore up night before last." Harlow observes, "Your day off is sure brutal on your lingerie."
