Whenever I drew Rick’s headshot I did this one of Steve. I just never got around to posting it, but today feels appropriate to show my appreciation for him. <3

Everyone is always like “oh no don’t go on a murderous rampage stemming from guilt so heavy you think it will kill you if nothing else will” but they never ask “did you experience catharsis, how was the catharsis, the catharsis looked fun”

currently reading the atlas six and my current favorite pov is tristan solely bc he is like “everyone here is batshit crazy and im saying that as a guy with insane daddy issues, who was raised by a witch gang leader, and who just quit my job and broke up with my billionaire heiress fiancée to come to a mysterious academic cult” and it’s the realest shit. why is he the most normal. why is he the only one who is phased by anything that has happened so far. also he Fucks (literally)

i actually enjoyed a lot of twn s3 but i see it repeated fairly often that it followed the books fairly closely (or at least more closely than s2) but listen. having freshly reread time of contempt, in my opinion, s3 somehow followed the books LESS than other seasons.
s1 and s2 were both often working with original content in between book canon scenes. but s3, as much as it did seem to go beat for beat following time of contempt's plot... somehow ends up changing almost every single plot point in some way.
yennefer travels with ciri and geralt together. geralt is pissed at yennefer and doesn't speak to her for a whole year. ciri wounds (maybe kills?) elves at shaerrawedd. yennefer calls ciri "ugly one" without the follow up context of their "you're already pretty" convo. geography is ?? travel is ?? the politics is flattened out to redania vs nilfgaard. the scoia'tael conflict is flattened out. aplegatt's story gets repurposed with none of the actual consequences that made that story in the books have an emotional impact because there is none of the same geopolitical plot.
tissaia stands with and frees vilgefortz out of love for him instead of standing against both the genocide and warfare of the northern kings and the imperialism of nilfgaard. the coup plot seems to be a last minute decision by philippa based on what?? who knows!! the last vilgefortz joins emhyr in nilfgaard??? yennefer calls the conclave and heads up the lodge????
so yes, it pulls some lines and scenes directly from the books and nods to them fairly often but in no way was s3 a closer or more faithful adaptation of the books than s2. it truly, fully misses something huge in almost every story beat.

one of the things that particularly pisses me off about art discussions, either in how nowadays everything has to aim for more and more realism in art styles and even live action to be seen as "real art", and in dismissing more abstract styles of artwork as not "real art" and having no inherent worth, is that they explicitly do not consider realism an art style either. to them, realism is just a given of "good" art, not chosen but rather just default. which i hate, because you CAN pick realism as an intentional style and a purposeful choice to suit a narrative, and all this results in is no one noticing or understanding why you made that choice or why that choice works better than any other possible choice to tell the story you want to tell.

Hi Hello it’s Doodle/Ramble time, featuring some incredibly messy mission suit concepts
I’m gonna ramble So Much under the cut but basic gist, I like the idea of each Rat having their own unique suit with gear that’s specifically catered to their strengths
Left to right, let’s start with Adam. His suit is armored with steel, which is... well it’s really damn heavy. And since Adam’s primary ability is super strength, the extra weight has no detriment to him, only providing better defense and a meaner offense. The armor on his chest is segmented so he can move around proper, and Adam of course loves the whole Spartan plate he’s got going on. The vest/sleeves look was ripped straight from the S2 suit, just with red sleeves instead to draw attention to the arms
Since Chase’s abilities aren’t as physical, his suit’s pretty low key. His armor is light to accommodate his fighting style, and his force field covers it when the situation calls. The headphones are noise-cancelling for the sake of his senses, which he can calibrate wirelessly via his bionics. I actually based his design off of Bree’s S2 suit lmao, just made it less... catsuity, and added some extra color and accessories
All of Bree’s abilities lean into Spying and Scouting, so her suit’s the most streamlined. It leans the closest to the S1 suit, since it basically had racing stripes. Added a visor and hood that can be pulled up when she’s running or sneaking. There’d probably be some extra collar fabric for a mouth cover too, honestly. I literally ripped off the Long Fall Boots from Portal 'cause they are one of my favorite pieces of sci-fi bullshit ever. The blue soles are meant to indicate some sorta energy field? Thing? That acts as shock absorption and sound dampening
And 2 bonus versions: This almost grey scale just ‘cause I like those sorts of palettes + I guess it’s kinda Bionic Academy colors
And one that’s color coded. I honestly love this one but it also kinda makes them look like power rangers so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
