#WHICH BLONDES ARE WE ON ABOUT

[fortheloveofexy]

headcanon that Neil's hair is brownish auburn in the winter but in the warmer months when he's outside a lot, it lightens to a more coppery reddish color

#yeah im reconciling the hair color debate once and for all what about it #why pick between auburn and ginger when we can have both :) #also covering my ass bc i am constantly changing the shade of his hair in my art lmao #aftg #all for the game #the foxhole court #neil josten #loosely inspired by my own hair btw which goes from medium brown in the winter to coppery blonde in the summer months

#*chanting* skask skask skask skask- #vincent aurelius lin #adamandi #hello. let's talk about what's going on here! i've been tossing the idea about here wrt skin translucency ever since that post came out #(it's linked above fyi. but to quote it.) 'attempting to pursue this unachievable white ideal of the young academic; maybe leading to gory #representations of mimicry; replacement; taking on someone else's skin; altering the self' #this is primarily key in vincent and the skask; in the actual show iirc they used a jockey mask or smth? but i was thinking about the #delightful way skin is semi-transparent. and so a literal layer of skin alone would be unlikely to provide the whiteness pursued- #the under layer of the original tone would be there. so smth about the failure and unattainable. #additionally; at this point of the show the skin would have been likely yellowing or greying due to post-mortem development? so even more #Not white. from observations (as a kid;comparing skin tones?) white people have a pinker undertone (this might be. a generalisation but.) #here the lighting is yellowish to further push the difference + give the super harsh lighting that if you suspend disbelief has some hair #appear as blonde to further the ambrose-ness. #also the hair- messier on the non-ambrose side; a reference to the whole monologue about the haircuts they got #we bring to you also another episode of <i like drawing fabric folds> in the jacket symbolism! from bottom right to top left; it tracks #vincent throughout act two: the initial long jacket for standing out (nonchalance?) at ardess is removed; the yellow coat is put on- aided #here by ambrose's ghost which is represented by the hand! (it is very very slightly transparent- you can see the jacket pattern through it) #(if you look close) and then the satchel goes over it; this mimics the clothes in <oh ms reporter> #and then the Actual Ambrose jacket goes above along with the skask; following the outfit from the pyre scene at the end. #the spark/star thing is partially foreshadowing for the upcoming stabby eye trauma thing (@quincy) and partially just so i could highlight #the eye of the mask/ the place where vincent's eye probably is Behind the mask. because i liked the idea of merging faces; intersection. #back to the translucency of skin - you can kind of make out where the rest of his face is from the darker bit? aka it's not the same colour #as the skask. smth smth limited effectiveness... #tldr? face skin. jacket skin. altering appearance over time; unfeasibleness #when i was doing this i suddenly remembered covering my skin in talcum powder as a kid... hm. i'd forgotten about that. #anyways! when i posted my first ever adamandi thing i had the thought of 'this musical makes me want to paint' and surreally enough #that has proved to be so so true. and ngl i am really enjoying it? love it when the motivation to create is there haha #i will add as a disclaimer that i'm literally chinese and if the colours look off.. i did not mean to make a caricature. please be nice #that said because stage lighting tends to shift colours about a Lot i essentially used my own skin as a reference under yellow light? #so hopefully that checks out. <disappears>

why does a blonde-haired blue-eyed little girl named susie indicate fnaf?

please she's our one constant she's all we truly know

#ok for not (joking) an actual knowlage #susie is like the only constant throughout all freddy's stuff #and we know the most about her #she's the girl who haunts chica #we know this from cross continuity via the novels and frights #and her gravestone #the gravestones we get at the good ending of 6 which align with the animatronic heads at the endings of 3 #susie's grave being by the chica head #she's also the only girl so consistancy ig #we also know (in gameverse) she was the first kid who got killed and how #her dog died and peepeepoopaw used this fact to lure her to the freddy backroom #we know that via the secret in the fruitymaze minigame in 6 (pictured above in the middle) #we also know she was the first via a chica kill line in ucn: 'i was the first ive seen everything' #this seems to be consistant in canon except the movie #speaking of she's also consistant in the movie seeming as the girl playing the chica ghost has blonde hair and fits the general description #that design of susie you see above firstly showed up for the novels and then was used for the games #the fazbear frights desc is different in the drawn image but even more off in the writing itself describing her with brown hair #(but other writers didn't have all the info so it couldve been that) #also as far as we can tell via the sprite and a missing poster in the background of the movie her dog was a chiuhuahua #anyway i list all this info bc we HAVE all this info #we have fuck all about the other kids no matter the canon #so in the games the other three named kids are gabriel (freddy) fritz (foxy) and jeremy (bonnie) #technically charlie/charlotte for the puppet #in the novels its gabriel (freddy) fritz (foxy) cassidy (bonnie) and michael brooks (golden freddy) #also teeeeechnically charlie again but its a whole thing #in fazbear frights who fuckn knows. there was 6 of them and one of them was probably andrew #in the movies the other kids fit the descrption of the game kids except for that blonde kid i have no idea whats going on with him #but you know whos in all of these every time? #susie #no matter the universe william afton sees this blonde girl and decides she has to die

obviously we all knew in advance that the barbie is anti men crowd was stupid and full of hate but it is extra funny to me given that barbie is actually like the most pro man feelings girl power movie ever made

#meant neither as praise nor criticism although in my heart a part of me is like. Greta Why #as this blog demonstrates i think about pretend man feelings a lot and do believe in the value of films where i am not at all asked to #but. it just is true. #do we know anything about the inner life of luke wilson in legally blonde? no. do we care? not even a little. is that a problem? it is not #literally one of the things barbie learns is. be more considerate of ken’s feelings. #which is fine. but it’s different! that’s all

I appreciate we’ve since freed ourselves from the shackles of One Blonde One Brunette since we’ve left the 2010’s behind. two brunettes should be able to kiss sloppy

#so much fanart of blonde dean. his ass is not blonde #just because he had that hair color at age 4 in the pilot does not make a blonde for life #as well as Height difference and pair the spares which meant if there was a brother character you simply must find another side character #to ship them with lest fandom large accuse you of giving them nothing. henceforth the my-strade sa-briel era of 2014 #remembering that time an anon sent me an ask complaining about my use of brunette because it’s feminine. well maybe I just like typing the #extra t and e #now if we could only free ourselves from the blue eyed industrial complex* [*I say as my brown eyes ass stares deep into the eyes of cas #images kicking my feet and giggling]

smurfs is sooo bad with its human character designs, as in like, if a character is noticeably more "ugly" than the others, you know that it's gonna be a Bad Guy. I can't remember the episode but there's supposed to be a "twist villain" reveal but the character design literally gives it away in advance.

And then.

It goes so hard with its "(blonde/light,) straight hair = good" through-line that like... then we have this lady in a later episode:

Now, I actually really love this lady's design. I think she's very cute! But I was also very aware that it was unusual character design for an ostensibly Good human character in smurfs. (big, curly hair, brunette, etc). Refreshing change of pace!

Nooope nevermind, she's secretly In It For The Money and not supposed to be sympathetic, Ouch.

Then you have all the other stuff in smurfs that inherently links the notions that Traditionally Attractive People Are Good, People Who Don't Meet Those Standards Are Bad/"Evil" with how Smurfette's design change was handled when she went "bad"->good and what have you... The show is just really, really Not Great with that whole area

Even in Lure of the Orb we're shown this obligatory scene of DON'T WORRY THE LADY ISN'T ATTRACTIVE THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW SHE'S BAD, like come on now. Traditionally attractive people just aren't allowed to be Bad in this show, it's always some kind of Pointless Illusion or whatever!

#Smurfs #The Smurfs #and for the record I think the lady is very cute #but the reveal about her character gives a VERY sour taste to her character design #it makes it seem like we werent supposed to think she was cute or whatever. sigh #I mean she's not a blonde blue eyes straight haired lady #which means she isnt good enough for smurfs! boooo #anyway rant over lol

Were akira and tooru also orphans?

Mahiru never mentions maternal grandparents, at one point he realizes that when akira died his uncle also became alone and while it doesn't have to mean anything I did find it interesting that when they were still in school and tooru asked touma to come to his house to eat he said akira would cook for them and not their mother or father. When mahiru thinks about heroes always coming back smiling we saw a flashback of akira coming back after apparently leaving a very young mahiru in tooru's care, not with her parents.

The discussion at akira's funeral service also made it sound like the people were more extended family than close family? Where is the rest of the shirota family? Is it just them?

#servamp #mahiru shirota #akira shirota #tooru shirota #time for another absolute crack theory that has close to no basis but I would find it funny if it came true #what if akira and tooru were also children born out of wedlock #and they were mikage's children #mikage does look similar to mahiru which always suprised me a bit #why is his hair dark when most other family members are blond? #it's an odd artistic choice #anyway the only reason why I even started thinking about this is because sigurd mentioned that 3 people survived drinking the counts blood #which created three magical bloodlines #I could be wrong but whatever is up with mahiru being because of his heritage makes the most sense to me #and nor lily or touma seem aware of it #so it sounds like it might be because of an even older family secret in the shirota family #what if two bloodlines secretly crossed when akira was born and with akira having a son with touma all three crossed #and that causes...something we have yet to learn #Again just a crack theory but this all being just a giant family drama makes me laugh #mahiru and misono/mikuni would be half cousins lol

Words cannot fully describe just how happy I am that Kohga is alive. My mans fell into a place full of absolute hellish nightmares and went “aw hell yeah time to build things”

He’s so caught up on needing Link’s magic but like- my guy could have a science job with Purah and Robbie with how well he’s handling living in the depths- I think we should be allowed to bring him up to the surface and insist he be given benefits

#also the other yiga members #like yeah haha they’re the silly banana ninjas hahaaaa #but also they currently live in the scariest place and have not only learned how to live there but have made incredible discoveries and #have discovered how an entirely new technology works and have used it to make vehicles by hand #like holy shit they’re just going #somebody get these people a job like can we please recruit them to team good guys???? if nothing else they are an incredible resource #but I would also argue that they’re funny #and with those two things like. yeah. crimes and murder attempts forgiven come on my little banana ninjas #also completely unrelated- and this could’ve been the case in note and I just wasn’t paying attention- but if link wears the yiga mask the #tuft at the top is blonde- which confirms that it’s their hair #and I find that delightful. kohga has super curly hair and I love that for him (I know there’s hair types I just. do not know them dhdjdjdj) #also Sooga has like. the straightest hair known to man and I’m curious about what he did to it to get it to stay in the shape it’s in #anyways #I love them dndjdjjdndnd #anon #ask #loz totk spoilers #legend of zelda tears of the kingdom spoilers #tears of the kingdom spoilers

I really like how my Maurice and Alec turned out, much more like I pictured them in my head 🥰

Process gif under the cut! Also some thoughts on this scene.

I'm seeing a lot of love for the movie here on tumblr, and I'm sure it deserves it.. but I'm not a fan. Every movie adaptation needs to leave things out - I know that - but this scene specifically? Is so weirdly threatening. And mostly because they show Alec just. inviting himself in through Maurice's open bedroom window. Like, he sees Maurice hanging out of the window twice and assumes he was looking for some fun?

While in the book Maurice calls "come!!" into the night, on two separate occasions, himself not really understanding why. Alec was out an about both times. The first time he ignored it - the gentleman wasn't calling for him, was he? - but the second time he did feel like that could be the case. They completely leave that out in the movie. Seems important to me though? It refers to the recurring dream Maurice has, of a "friend" who will last him a life time. It refers to his desire for real love and companionship. And to then have Alec responding to it has so much meaning! Why omit that?

And then in the movie, the way Alec says "I know" as if he's saying "I know you're gay and if you don't let me fuck you, everyone will know too." Whereas in the book it felt more like "I know you're gay and that's alright, I'm going to take care of you," or something like that.

And then Movie Alec just starts off by smooching Maurice's chest.. it all feels super invasive. Very dubious consent ^^; But I guess I'm supposed to think nothing of it, cause when they wake up in the morning they're all cuddles and kisses. I personally would've liked to see that gentleness from the start.

I know the dubious consent part can be said about the book scene as well: Maurice didn't *actually* invite Alec in and he doesn't verbally consent to sleeping with him either. The atmosphere is just so different..

Anyway, I'm not judging anyone for liking the movie, I personally can't really stand it (at the moment: I thought it was acceptable ten-ish years ago when I'd read the book for the first time)

#maurice #maurice hall #alec scudder #em forster #danikunst #(I changed my art tag - a single word is easier) #warning: bit of a random rant up ahead lol #I'm weirdly miffed when characters in older books are described with dark hair #and then get cast by blonde people in the film adaptation - or vice versa #like. it happens so often that it makes me think that hair colour is supposed to say something about character #and that idea has changed over the years #Dorian Gray is an example that sticks with me - because there are a fair few movie/tv adaptations of The Picture of Dorian Gray #and he gets a dark-haired actor every time? #don't we still view blonde curls as ''angelic'' and don't we associate it with innocence? #which is exactly the vibe Dorian is supposed to give off? #What is up with that? :) #2

[exhaustedalien]

I have so many thoughts and opinions on the Arthur's hair colour discourse that I will not be going into because I know his hair is definitely not the colour I draw it

#or maybe i draw it the right colour for a number of reasons i wont be going into because people seem to be taking this very seriously #fuck it he has a level 6 ashy dark blonde to level 5 ashy light brown #yes he probably had darker hair when he was younger based on the photos we have of him #but that doesn't change the fact that his hair could be considered blonde as an adult #thats IF you consider levels 6/7 blonde #which a lot of people don't #there is a lot more to be said about the subjective nature of colour & how we explore through art but i need to go to bed

[procrastinationaccount]

I'm going to lose my fucking mind

#For context: I was going to make a post complaining about how lesbians don't have enough good musical theater duets #(like we have the love songs from 'The Color Purple' which're alright but doesn't match the passion or desperation present in the book imo #'Changing My Major' which is a great love song but doesn't hit that sweet duet spot #'Dance With You' and the last verse of 'You Happened' from The Prom are sweet but the girls barely get to actually sing about each other #Honestly 'Oh Well' from Love In Hate Nation comes closest to what I want but it ends on a bittersweet note unless you see the show live #If only Elphaba and Glinda were canon... #But anyway. I can't believe that there's an adaptation of The Color Purple coming in the year of our lord 2023 and this is #how they're talking about Shug Avery. Her *role model*. Lock up your *husbands*. Ick. Pfaff. #I mean they're going to be gay. You can't get around that. But Shug is the love of her life. Can we please talk about that in the character #Don't mind me I'm just over here overreacting #From what I've read one of the biggest adaptational changes in the musical is her reaction to Shug's affair. #Like in the book Shug is the one light in her life. I sobbed myself to sleep over her nosedive in self-worth when they took a break #In the musical she's just...fine with it? I get why that's more satisfying emotionally but I still think it undermines their relationship #I don't get the curse thing either. I'm a little fuzzier on this part but in the book doesn't she just leave him and she's able to thrive? #Then when he asks her to get back together she's able to just know that the worst with Shug or alone is better than the best with him? #This book man. I hate that there isn't an adaptation as devoted to the Celie/Shug relationship as the book is. #Hate that the only recommendation I've seen calling it a sapphic book was from someone who thought that Celie's letters were to her lover #I remember watching this steamy adaptation of a Shakespeare play in soph Eng and seething because they only kiss once in the 1985 movie #Ig I can't expect too much from 1985 but...it was in the book! It was one of the most important parts! They don't even live together in it! #This was all to say I wast a lesbian 'Green Green Dress' a lesbian 'Home' a lesbian 'Natasha & Anatole' a lesbian Legally Blonde finale #The list goes on #I'm sure The Color Purple (2023) will be a good adaptation and movie. I will not pop blood vessels while watching it. #Maybe I should just avoid press releases and the movie will surprise me in a good way.

Apparently I have beef with the hoa wiki page. Because everytime I look at characters info, it tries to gaslight me.

Like, how can you stare directly into my eyes and say, with a straight face, that Nina's hair is light brown????

#house of anubis #nina martin #hoa wiki #nathalia ramos #It's clearly blonde in the pic?????? #like i would let it slide if we talked about S1 ( her hair seems darker there) but in S2 her hair is clearly blonde 🤨 #if I had a nickel for every time a character's hair is described differently on the wiki page than in Canon #I'd have two nickels... which isn't a lot but it's wierd that it happened twice (and in two different fandoms might i add) #i get worked up over the most stupid and inconsequential shit 🤦‍♀️ #But for real: am i missing something here? or am i just being a clown???
