antwerp real

#looney tunes #marvin the martian #art attag #you know sometimes I wonder like #if people who follow this blog but not my main blog have any idea what to expect here anymore #anyway I loveee little titbits and trivia about long-running characters and how they developed over the years #especially when there are noticeable differences between early instalments and their later more well-known versions #e.g. m.oominmamma didn't get her apron until the newspaper comics! #so learning that marvin's original internal name was antwerp is cool!! #which is such a fun name in itself!! bc not only is that said to derive from the myth of roman solider #it can also be read as a portmanteau of ant and twerp! marvin's cute for the alliteration and satisfying similarity to martian #but man that's a good bunch of wordplay #I also love consuming any sort of supplementary/promotional/concept material of things and finding out mel blanc once recorded a song #called ''antwerp is my name'' for like a stage show or something which is Likely lost media by now is #Such a shame #bc that was probably the only time it was officially used outside of chuck jones' personal notes before his current name was chosen #lost media my beloathed :( #not searching for it that's fascinating but just that it like. occurs at all #anyway hi I didn't post any art for over month thank you for reading my infodumping here #oh & also I know he's been shown without the helmet & he really is just a little bowling ball. but I want to believe

It is laaate it is my bedtime it is past my bedtime. So of course I'm in the notes app conceptualizing fics I will never write

#ahem. bubbline tumblr mutuals AU... #i have the scene in mind where they meet irl / realise they already know eachother (marcy playing music at a performance night type of thing #and pb realises the song sounds familiar... bc marcy has sent her demos of it before or smth like that... #and finn and jake are there cause i love them and also marcy&jake friendship is so real (jake is the one who took them to watch marcy play) #ohhh and pb being good at karaoke mention from jake cause i love that line from Broke His Crown) #sooo. yeah. idk i think its a cute idea 😊 would be even cuter if i would actually write itttt 🤗 <- being passive agressive to myself #oh i didnt even mention the part where theyre both fans of some vampire/vampire hunter show #in my notes this is labelled as the fandom freaks bubbline au #theyre probably not really that freakish about it tbh just a normal amount of fandom obsessiveness. i just like alliteration

[torchickentacos]

Literary devices, how I adore you... allusion, colloquialism, alliteration, metaphor, simile, juxtaposition (!!!!!!!), anntithesis, foreshadowing, imagery, symbolism, personification, irony, hyperbole???? All amazing.

#juxtaposition is my favorite child #and antithesis. they're similar #I ADORE working with them #or like. if I'm going to be using imagery. choosing it in a way that isn't as common #say i wanted to represent happiness or sadness with weather and seasons. usually summer is happy and winter is sad #OR INSTEAD #it's looming summer thunderstorms and heavy air versus the sunlight reflecting off of snow with a warm coffee mug in your hands #imploring more people to mess with and learn about literary devices #ALLITERATION TOO. I LOVE IT #idk maybe that's an unpopular opinion but I like alliteration sparingly #it can add a really nice rhythm and emphasis in a sentence #something i really like to do is adding a lot of more complex words in clusters for emphasis #it forces the reader to slow down and really SIT in the scene as they. not decode but just understand it #fall out boy is really fun to look at through a literary lens btw. they do a LOT of fun wordplay constantly #ts and marianas trench too. though ts is sometimes a bit on the nose about it #marianas trench has some really nice lyricism actually. idk why they never took off as much as other bands of the era #I could definitely write an essay on marianas trench's lyricism #mitski is good at imagery #i should have been an english major. this is entertainment to me

Dex mind concepts! And misc

To start, I’m just going in the order I drew them in lol, some structural things! The main base for the level is a burning house, representing both “burning bridges” to show leaving his old life and home before, there being a lot more to loose by running away and becoming a villain, as well as a “fire burning him from the inside”. The platforming bits would be mostly in the large rooms, and would be populated with a looooot of doubts and!

Nightmares! The premise of this mind would be, since psi-portals don’t work on children, Raz would astral-sleepwalking to Dex’s mind instead! And even though it’s his actual mind and not a dream, it seemed like a good place to add nightmares! And I think they really fit with the ambiance

Next is the monsters! Vaguely mentioned in the first one, I wanted to include some non-standard enemies, more like in psychonauts 1. I need to color some of these in, but I wanted them to look like those’ smiley creepy children’s book/cartoon villains! As I mentioned in post about Raz’s family, a big part of him turning away from his family and the psychonauts in general, was their treatment of him as if her was a “little monster” (oddly not rlly for his psychics, but the behavior issues his family imposed on him). One part of that was getting “timeouts” in a closet. However, it happened to be full of old psychic tales comics, sparking his interest in villains to begin with!

Annddd! In the connecting hallways, there are 4 doors that raz needs to get through rooms and hallways. Raz would actually start the mind level in door 3, it’s set up as if that’s be the entire level! I wrote this in my notes so!

(Wouldn’t let me paste this for some reason?)

After Door three Raz would go to the first door. It represents his parents (and sister), put on like a humiliating theatre show. It’s incredibly based around magic shows, playing cards, and circuses. I don’t have much for the mechanics, there might be manifestations of his parents n sister n stuff in there too, but idk. Maybe like a funny monster lookin version of them!

Door 2 is based around his grandpa, the psychonauts, and the motherlobe (and whispering rock kinda!) it’s mostly just showing a lot of the stuff Raz loves and adores (minus the grandpa bit, I’m sure Raz knows who he is, but I know rrlllyy think he’s the type Raz would be any more than a casual fan of lol) from the perspective of someone who just Loathes those things! It’s really supposed to put into perspective it really Why Dex hates those things, and how the people your around and experiences can make a good thing seem terrible. Idk if I’d want Dex to show up here, and leave so Raz has to chase him, or if Raz would just fine him in a later part of the level. Probably the latter but even then idk if I’d want him to show up in Door 1 or 2.

DOOR FOUR DOOR FOUR RAZ DOOR. This one is rlly new!! So Id want it do have this kind of “under construction” vibe. This one would be Heavily heavily inspired by comics, like the whole thing looks like a comic set up. I mean, Dex is starting to be a Real Actual Villain! He’s even got his own nemesis! i.e. this door! But! I’m not really sure what I’d exactly want the area to look like specifically. This is where Raz would For Real meet up with Dex, maybe try to talk with him. A lot of Angry yelling and such, mostly from Dex. Just a Real Nice conversation between two people with just so wildly different perspectives on the same thing, despite being so similar in their core behavior. They would eventually come upon a temporary truce, given that the psychonauts came across evidence of the head of CRIME planning on throwing the agents under the bus.

And HERES THE MISC STUFF!!!!

#I STG IF THE IMAGES FUCK UP THATS BEEN HAPPENING TO ME RECENTLY IM GONNA #IM GONNA #ALSOALSO #I DONT HAVE A GOOD NAME FOR THIS LEVEL IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE ALLITERATION JUST PLZ #also just any good set ideas for the 4 rooms I’m all ears! i love ideas!!! #my art #razputin aquato #psychonauts #psychonauts fanart #psychonauts art #thedamtalkingtag #psychonauts ocs #psychonauts oc #psychonauts original character #Dexter Fahrenheit #yippee!!more nonsense! #yahoo!!!!!

i mean i do want more people to vote yes on that The Exorcist poll but on one hand only 11 people being interested means it's less likely to break containment. That being said, it's hard to make sense of the dates in the exorcist but if Regan's birthday is 5 days after the first April, and Karras' [spoilers for a 50 year old book] happens on mother's day I at least have a small time frame of events for when the book takes place

#the exorcist #man... what's a good name.. #the exorcist daily. the exorcist excerpts.... uhh #i love alliteration but exorcist doesnt lend itself to that #the exorcist by william peter blatty

22. A childhood memory

Heavy weighs the book in her hands. It leads her in a downward trajectory as she approaches Dozla. She liked it when history was kept in neatly in books. When it was something she could hold (theoretically, her hands barely met around this tome), it felt like it wasn't going to just detach and float away from her. Those ridiculous scholars Uncle hired, tripping over books, unravelling pages, feeling words crumble beneath their finger tips, they knew just how flighty the whole thing was. The price of history is dear in the moment, heavy in the making, but it has this unpleasant tendency of slipping away.

It was a different story entirely, of course, if you were a hero. If fame carried your name throughout the lands. Heroes do not get forgotten! But, a horrible part of her, one L'Arachel spent most of her time ignoring whispers. In history, there are no heroes.

It was all his idea, of course: Say, Princess L'Arachel, you've spent an awful long time looking out that window, why don't we read that book you're holding? Said in soft tones, as if she were a mewling babe! She, L'Arachel could read perfectly fine, thank you very much. Reading was of the utmost importance to her lately, and if she was to begin to accrue fame, she supposed being known as a child prodigy was a start. With a huff which was more a prompt for compliments at her kindness in agreeing to bless him with her presence, she turns to face him.

She stops. Feels the sun on her face. Warm as a mother's hand.

It's a warm spring afternoon; the windows to her room are barred. She can hear birdsong tapping against the glass, the impatient sound of a visitor demanding entry.

She wants to go outside. She wants to hear birdsong without thinking of the woods. But she allows herself to be pulled away by Dozla. He directs her to a chair, and she sits, unconsciously. She really wished he would stop looking at her like that - all bunched up brows, and a mouth trying to say something that can't come out.

Why didn't any of the grown-ups see that she was perfectly fine? Pure nonsense.

'Come, Dozla, you may read to me.'

With that he grins, the corners of his eyes crinkling, further embedding smile lines that seem to be more of an inevitability with Dozla than any sign of approaching age. Why, she wouldn't be surprised if he had just been born that way. When she was bored it tickled her to imagine him in his mother's arms, wrinkled and guffawing.

It's his smile lines that she associates with him more than anything. She doesn't remember him for anything else. Not his axe, not his ridiculous beard (the only time Dozla had ever refused his princess was when she offered up her premium beard-cutting services), and not how his smile wavered in this moment, just a little, looking at her in the sun. Sitting next to her, he opens his hands, palm up, as if offering her a gift. She almost drops the book trying to hand it over.

'Easy there! What, are you trying to take me out or something?'

She laughs at this. It's not his best work, but it's enough.

'Now,' He grouses in feigned indignation, before pushing up his reading glasses, 'Where were we?'

'Please, start from the beginning.'

'AHEM...'

In an age long past… Evil flooded over the land. Creatures awash in the dark tide ran wild, pushing mankind to the brink of annihilation. In its despair, mankind appealed to the heavens, and from a blinding light came hope. THE SACRED STONES. These five glorious treasures held the power to dispel evil. The hero Grado-

She glances askance at him, eyebrow raised.

'Ah, apologies princess, the hero Latona, who was perfection beyond all compare and greatly resembling a certain future princess of Rausten…'

She drifts off. It's a familiar story. One she's heard time and time again. The familiar scrape of Dozla's fingers on each page, the intakes of breath, the dramatic pauses. She knows it all.

Truly, it was strange. Her ancestor's terrors were now her bedtime stories. But, that wasn't what she was thinking in that moment, was it? No, she wouldn't revisit the old nightmare until it seemed to start up all over again.

Instead, she was thinking about a duo of valiant heroes. Saviours of Rausten, and their daughter. Very brave, and entirely righteous. They had to leave her behind, to save the world. Much like Latona. But, when they left, her Uncle's historians didn't rush to write it all down. No one else would talk to her about them. All she had left was a letter.

One she was slowly learning to read.

“You can’t be serious,” Sirius deadpans. “Can’t do it better than you, so no,” James winks at him, sucking a smidgen of jam off the tip of his thumb, and Sirius is quite sure the woman sitting three tables away has just suffered some form of grievous neck injury with the way she turns to look.

IM ON A ROLL TODAY. remembered tessarae's weird daughter while going thru my folder for them and respawned her. also jokes

bonus old concept for tali because theyre not much different but i think comparing my older style with how i draw her now is funny

#mine #original #artists on tumblr #renee romero #tessa hassan #talita itamar #my entire concept for tali at first was just ''little girl stabs you in the thigh and runs''. oh how the turn tables #i love making a scifi esque story and then never coming up with a reason for why the normal ass humans have fancy powers #btw since i only named her..... today. name explanation #used brazillian & portugese names with alliteration as the main priority. talita essentially just means little girl #tali though has hebrew origins meaning My Dew and i thought tessa coming up with that nickname was adorable #99% of my oc names are just What Sounds Good but every now and then i remember name meanings exist

[laylakeating]

did you see sofia posted this lmaooo. i’m not sure what it’s suppose to mean maybe representing the love triangle bc gina’s in both color and black & white but i’m taking ricky being the one in color as a good sign 🙏🏻🙏🏻

i did and oh my god she is so fucking funny. like what an icon

pw in b&w bc they're boring and bland and the PAST rina in colour bc they're bright and beautiful and the FUTURE

#not even kidding i genuinely believe this #in what world is b&w a good thing COME ON #either i love sof she's <3 #yes the alliteration is on purpose #asked and answered #anonymous #hsmtmts #rina

Okay so Taylor just loves a good alliteration and it has nothing to do with anything.
