this is the funniest thing ever to me what is your beef with him bro what did he do to you

Blehhh and whatnot

#former director of a global intelligence agency btw

i always thought this guy was very Mycroft Holmes coded

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ramsbottom was partially inspired by his character! I’m not super familiar with most iterations of Mycroft outside of the ACD books, though by the looks of it the DM production would’ve been more faithful to his initial depiction than a few of the official renditions. I do think Stephen Fry (who I’m pretty sure played Mycroft at some point) would be a great pick for (god forbid) a live-action Silas…

I remember him having some vaguely central-intelligence administrative job situation that’s pretty AVL-director-esque, too. I imagine Silas might also enjoy some time at the Diogenes Club to unwind and sip his tea in silence! I think I’ll add that to the roster of DM-related things I’d like to draw… the list’s getting pretty long, but I’m always open to more suggestions :0)

#the interesting thing is that this one’s associated with DM3 #what was the plan here... how would it fit into the narrative if they ultimately landed on retiring him in the first 15 minutes?#cmonnn I deserve to know

Forgot about this one! The US flag behind him is crazy work though

#at some point you gotta assume the animators just like scattering him around the sets for fun #I think it’s mostly Gregory Georges’ doing

Still can’t believe this guy’s a published author… of a cookbook no less

#unfortunately there are no clearer images but I'm pretty sure the title's “S. Ramsbottom • Fish Cooking”#he might just be an expert on cooking fish #you never know

“Young Silas Concept” by Illumination’s character sculptor Fredus (Frédérick Alves-Cunha)

#forever and ever conflicted about this design #why'd they make him wear that

I was inspired

#catering to an audience of 1 (myself)#the account that posted the og video is centered around a very old basset hound named meatball #naturally #Silas Ramsbottom

You know who this mf look like lowkey

#it’s the streaks of grey on the temples that really bring it all together I think #auguste gusteau #lucy duolingo

#have not been able to stop quoting this one. it’s been months

#so many cup fungi in my area and I’ve never been able to find this one #so much for my lovely temperate rainforest biome I GUESS

Ok mr off-road SUV

I mean the license plate reads “001” and he’s heading the sector it was likely issued from so it’s not too unreasonable to assume that car’s reserved for him…

#much to think about #I lowkey can’t get over the fact that he drove them personally too #like how many chances did he get to actually drive himself around during his stint as director #definitely not the car I’d picture him driving though #for a man so preoccupied with presentation

Decided to try my hand at editing for the first time and I put the entirety of his deleted scene in as a placeholder but it’s kinda funny as is 💔

^ featured on a billboard in one of the minion movies, btw. Watergate is 100% canon in the Despicable Me universe

I’ve for sure thought a little too hard about Silas making pleasant conversation/sitting together at a table and dancing with Natalie during that wedding scene at the end of the second movie

It looks as if they pretty much stuck together the whole time, too — I wonder why that was. My best guess is that she was the only one at the (admittedly sparsely-attended) event who actively approached him/initiated conversation; she does seem the type to keep one enthralled.

Her casual conduct around him was likely something he wasn't used to, given his status back at the AVL. She had no way of knowing who he was, obviously, but I doubt that it would have made much of a difference if she had... and he seems really, genuinely pleased to be hanging out with her. I expect it was a bit of a welcome change of pace, for him. A little taste of civilian life/normalcy, maybe? A chance to shed the "director" title for a bit? I wouldn't assume that he has many opportunities to do such a thing; it must have been quite thrilling.

#Natalie my goat #unfortunately the scene is tainted forever bc they had him move exactly like how Donald Trump dances to the YMCA song #just with a little more rhythm and tact and a little less like he's zerking two people off at once #I should mention that he was ALSO dancing to the YMCA song
