The more I think about it, the more I think that Persuasion has my favorite premise of all of Jane Austen's novels
Anne Elliot as a character speaks to my soul. She feels tremendous guilt for a decision she made eight years ago. Her life is lonely, as she doesn't really have anyone she can truly confide in despite being surrounded by people. So she swallows her pain, the yearning she feels deep in her soul, and vows that if nothing else at least she'll be helpful.
And of course she is reunited with Frederick Wentworth (the one that got away) who seems to hate her now, and she just keeps going. She keeps being kind and supporting her loved ones while slowly carving out a life for herself. There's something about her classic heroism that just feels so attainable. I don't have Elizabeth Bennett's wit, or Jane Bennett's unwavering belief in the goodness of everyone, or even Elinor's constant composure. But I can be like Anne and just keep moving forward attempting to be helpful
Of course it all works out in the end, and Anne is finally surrounded by people who truly appreciate her, even if she had to wait an extra eight years. Others have observed the fairy tale quality of the ending, and perhaps that's why it speaks to me. The idea that if you just keep doing your best and being kind, you'll eventually find happiness

"Lament! Terror! Despair! I shall kindly teach them all to you! And in your final moment, I... shall kill you by my own hand!!"
pandora hearts print for anime north this weekend 🥀🖤🤍
I also put this up on my inprnt! there's a sitewide sale for 40% off right now 🌟
For this drawing, I really wanted to emphasize the gothic and chaotic, convoluted nature of the series. Pandora Hearts has become a lot of things to me, as someone who's read it since I was like, 14 years old. but I eventually found the perfect words to sum up the series - a cross between a Shakespearean tragedy and a Grimm fairy tale.
The ink brush + watercolour brushes I used turned out so well together!! I wanted the style to be kind of a nod to like the manga cover art you'd see from the late 90s to 2000s, kind of like Mochizuki's early approach to traditional art.
A lighter approach to both the lineart + coloring also helped me not strain my arm too much - besides work, I stopped doing full illustrations due to the amount of work being heavy on my arm/shoulder T__T. my last full illustrations were the TGAA/DGS zine + WHA zine pieces back in Dec-Jan, but my heart really lies in illustrations more than anything and I definitely want to get back into it!! (as long as my physical health allows it!!)
Tumblr media
anyways, above is the thumbnail/inspiration board for this drawing! I also did some quick chickenscratch studies of others' drawings to help me get a sense of their composition. I started on the top left and then made a sort of meandering curve through... definitely went through a lot of ideas for this one. If I explained the intended symbolism.. I would be here.. all day..............
the candles were definitely first inspired by an animation of a lighter I did during art skool... and then I did this AA Dahlia animated illust... and then this OC charm (below) I did in 2022...? maybe I should draw fire more often. it's like, the way that fire looks in animated keyframes that I really like drawing out, and I guess I kinda really enjoyed translating that into a non moving visual medium??
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This drawing simultaneously took SO long but I also sped through it?? I had to like... not dwell too long on certain parts... like for example I think some individual character compositions really could be a lot stronger... because I knew this would be a beast of a drawing, I didn't want to spend an unnecessary amount of time focusing on details when I should be looking at the big picture. and I know that's a bad habit of mine!! I'm trying to unlearn my perfectionism!!
thanks for reading if you got this far, hope ya enjoy it!! and I hope I'll keep drawing Pandora Hearts in the future (clearly I haven't stopped since high school omg) and I hope to draw some more Vanitas someday beyond just chibis!

Clueless Bisexual Elliot Reid | Scrubs (2001 - 2010)
And by clueless I mean, she's closeted/in denial as a result of growing up in a conservative household with a gay brother who was never fully accepted by her family. She repressed her bisexuality, but she can't fully hide it. Just like her brother, everyone knows. She doesn't simply passively accept a date with a woman while she's drinking. She actively seeks one out. Even her mother would rather celebrate that Elliot's actually dating a man than talk to her about her problems. And I almost didn't include that lesbian coach/athlete fantasy because it's questionable on like 12 levels, but she's fantasizing about finding a man to turn her straight. That's the kind of fantasy she needs to examine a little closer, one of many things she needs to examine a little closer.

okay i know it's kind of late to be posting about episode five but.
HEADCANON TIME
J holding a whale plush. J holding a whale plush. I can't get over this.
Tumblr media
J likes plushies and just general stuffed toys
She's the kind of person that would collect and get pissed if one in a collection she didn't have was sold out somewhere
I don't care if it's more likely that these were for Tessa but J just happened to pick one up out of boredom
I'm headcanoning that the whale plush J's holding was like one of Tessa's only stuffed animals and she just demanded that Tessa got more and claimed it as her own
Tumblr media
Basically forced Tessa to bring along all of her stuffies, that's the only reason why there were multiple pods sent out so that they could fit them all
Tessa got really annoyed at J's whining for this and that's why these pods were actually (J offered to pilot one and Tessa said no because 'They'd be fine' and she didn't want them to crash with either of them in it)
That's why J and Tessa have been kind of bitter towards each other lately because J is still mad and Tessa is still irritated
Tumblr media
Imagining a scenario where Tessa, V and N are desperately and silently trying to get Uzi to stop talking because Uzi is making fun of J for liking stuffed animals
J defending herself by saying it's highly professional, going on a massive and passionate rant about the history of plush toys and how the companies that make them don't make enough stock
all while Uzi is standing there confused and the others are silently annoyed and facepalming while J is talking because they've heard this many times before in the mansion
thgis is canon liam vicklers told me 😁😁😁

POPPY THEORY
Okay, so you know how Elliot Ludwig is constantly talking about how his favorite thing in the world is children's smiles? Like he goes on about it, and it's even in his introductory tape to PlayCare?
.....Why are the Smiling Critters called the Smiling Critters?
I mean yeah, no duh, they have massive fucking smiles, but in-universe, why did Playtime Co. make these things? Was it in Elliot's memory?
If that's the case, then that strengthens the idea that Elliot Ludwig is the Prototype, and makes CatNap and even more tragic character.
Think about it. If Elliot really is the Prototype, then it would be a slap in the fucking face for him to find out that they just released a line of toys called "The Smiling Critters" when he KNOWS about the Bigger Bodies Initiative. And, in his efforts to stay true to himself and help one of the kids escape with himself, he gets him NEARLY KILLED, TORTURED, AND TURNED INTO A BIGGER BODY. On top of that, one that is constantly smiling.
Wouldn't that be fucked up or what.
That, and the opening cartoon. I've seen a couple people point out now that the cartoon could be a depiction of what the children were going through during the Hour of Joy, which strengthens the idea of the Smiling Critters being directly linked to smiling children as an ironic nod to Elliot Ludwig, and just a slap in the fucking face for him.
Man.

This ended up being super long so I decided not to harass OP's replies
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(this is about my opinion that Elliot the billionaire from Breaking Bad S1E5 "Grey Matter" was not a generous, kindly rich friend offering Walt a way out with no strings attached)
First, let me say this: I know most people don't notice or care about fashion but BrBa actually did put notable effort in their costume design and it's because characters like Skyler are consistently well-dressed that made this point so glaring
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When she's hosting, when she goes to the office, hell even her house robes are sophisticated, put together fits - I'm not sure how she affords those sumptuous silk kimonos she's always wearing but it hammers home Skye as an appearance-minded person, a woman who knows how to dress. Even with the shit camera quality, you can tell her hot pink baby shower dress was made for her.
And yet.
Tumblr media
Walt and Skye go to that party in complementing loud, harsh, ugly blues for what they learn is a beige party - the literal exact opposite of blue.
Now, it'd be one thing if they'd known and worn beige outfits that were shabby in comparison and Walt got in his feelings about it. Or if they'd truly "missed the memo" as Walt snarks and come in normal-wear that was out of dress code - yep could see Walt assuming it was intentional and throwing a fit.
But this poor couple attending a billionaire's party for some reason thought they should wear gaudy blue, with Skye's dress in particular highlighting exactly how cheap it is. It's almost as if they were under the impression they had to wear a color a domesticated adult would be unlikely to already own and rarely looks good on a budget, doubly so if you're 8 months pregnant. Skye would NEVER wear that shiny ass prom dress with the ruched center seam, scratchy 100% polyester raschel lace shawl, and sequined evening bag in public unless she thought it was her only choice. She never wears anything like this again, not even in the same season. The only rational explanation is someone lied to them. The more I explain this, the more I realize why most people missed it.
Now for the less special interest type reasons:
Walt asks (then later confirms) the invite said "no gifts." You might say oh, maybe Elliot was trying to spare Walt's pride but if so, why make a point of sharing it like he did? Why even invite your broke prideful friend to this kind of party, like you can't think of any other way to meet, chat, and ask if he'll work for you?
Additionally, how odd that Walt's was the only invite that didn't say this was a beige party.
Really can't downplay how hard it is to swallow they forgot to tell the Whites not to show up in clown uniforms.
Elliot's loudly showing off his gifts, with the last being an autographed Eric Clapton Stratocaster® which on the low end today is a $2000 electric guitar, but can go to the tens of thousands. Then he spots his friend's meager, teensy little thing, smaller than his hand and LITERALLY POINTS WALT OUT so everyone knows for damn sure who did this. Elliot unwraps it and does this full body sigh. Hands dropped. Your dad getting another tie for father's day type reaction. Young Good Ramen. No this is great man. You can get 10 for 1.99.
Sorry, no it WAS malicious. Listen to his voice. Feel how long he held that unpleasant silence before forcing a chuckle. Holding eye contact throughout while the crowd darts their eyes and smirks. This isn't Harry Potter - you can't emphasize how shitty something is then magically negate it like "and that's why I love it hahaha!" Elliot made it clear where he thinks Walt stands. Beneath him.
The whole party is like this, a humiliating horror show of socializing out of your social sphere. We don't even know what their relationship was like before. The implication is that Walt separated from this guy before for a reason and the reason was probably in line with what we saw today.
Elliot isn't stupid. He knows Walt. He knows Walt's character. He knows their financial disparities. He knows Walt is sick. Presumably he's well aware of Walt's pride. An intelligent and well-meaning friend doesn't accidentally combo-hit the exact weak points that caused you to drift apart in less than an hour before asking hey how would you like to literally owe me your life? How would you like the kind of debt that can't be repaid? :) You're a smart man.
If Elliot really cared about saving Walt, he wouldn't have gone about it the way he did. If, however, he wanted to antagonize and flex on Walt, make him as uncomfortable as possible, keep in his wife's good graces by offering him a job, and end the night with two possible outcomes - either he accepts and gets richer or he rejects and elliot can say "Welp honey, your former lover and ex-fiance Walter White said no for some weird reason. oh well, I tried! :)"
Idk, I guess it could be a projection but the way Elliot talked to Walt reminded me of old friends whom, in retrospect, didn't even try to hide their disdain for me. Like wow how did I miss that.
I think Gretchen had honest intentions. Her husband didn't. I don't know what his deal was exactly but I'd exhaust all other resources before accepting this dude who publicly embarrassed me as my savior, livelihood, and future employer.

My favourite parts of BMC
this was a community production i saw and it should have been professional like it was so good im hyperfixating on it but anywaysss
female michael (this was her FIRST PRODUCTION SHE WAS INCREDIBLE)
rich wrote beans on jeremys backpack
He wrote les on michaels
LES BEANS
can i just say that elliot was the best jeremy like idk if i can listen to the cast recordings anymore he knocled it out of the park he was so awkward and adorable and all of the right energy for jeremy
HE DID SUCH A GROWL ON CCCCMON I SWOONED
CHRISTINE HAD HEELIES
jake wasnt typical jock he was wearing pink and like this cute little neckscarf but he slayed every time he was on his voice was so good
rich was so funny
enby jenna roland THEIR VOCALS WERE STUNNING
the squip looked like daniel radcliffe bc the actor looked like daniel radcliffe and during the halloween party he was wearing a Gryffindor scarf and tie and when he was drunk the tie was around his head
also squip was incredible sounded exactly like the cast recording
Christines squip was emma watson
Guy that id kinda be into had a dating sim in the background and at the end when she said jake the screen shattered and there was a picture of jake but it was so funny
also the set was so cool they had the front stage then a tv screen with more stage behind it
Michael was so good because she made it her own character and as such was able to be on the same level as george salazar because she wasnt stuck behind him and his legendary beautiful stunning performance
jeremy was red michael was blue
Jeremy i cannot get enough of him it was incredible
the energy was approaching six the musical levels soooooo it was incredible
If you are in perth go see it!

so…
upon the release of the new DRDT MV today, i can say with confidence that i am utterly confounded.
// spoilers for the new DRDT MV
actually, as the video was playing i started to think: maybe that isn’t charles. maybe that’s his late brother, elliot. he looks somewhat different too, especially with the slight difference in hairstyle as well as the fact that some of the expressions don’t seem like ones charles would make.
and guess what,
Tumblr media
apparently i was somehow correct.
not sure what to do with this especially since we have pretty much little to no information about elliot cuevas, but expect me to make some of the most insane reaches this fandom has ever seen.
i’ll see you on the other side. d( ̄  ̄)
