this is such a low fucking bar but it is so refreshing that the main actors in project hail mary look like people to me. attractiveness aside, they have wrinkles, with full beautifully creased facial expressions and messy hair and im just really happy a movie about humanity has people fronting it that look like they have lived their life and their faces are proof of that

what that anon doesn't know is that there's this fantasy called conflict resolution that doesn't function if there isn't conflict. there's this fantasy called people who you love and who love you will hurt you in real life and sometimes you want to make things work rather than write people off as soulless abusers because people are more complicated than that but no one writes about this

I have a weird question. I love it when you draw Curly a bit chubbier. Usually I see him drawn all muscular (maybe like Horse). So why did you choose to draw him like this?

there's a couple reasons!

in that one qna, the devs mention that curly is a weightlifter as a hobby. weightlifters are not the same as Bodybuilders, who are yknow, focused on sculpting their bodies rather than focusing on their strength.

there's comparisons made in-game and by the devs comparing the whole space freighter thing to long-haul trucking.

based on what curly's said about time spent working at PE, and his general outlook as of current, he gives me the impression that he is no younger than 35

I simply do not think that a weightlifting, 40-ish, long-haul space trucker with 5 hours of "rest" every night is gonna have washboard abs. the general understanding of his lifestyle + the likely state of his metabolism as he ages just doesn't make it sound like he'd be very toned.

there's also the long answer of everything about curly including his visual design reads as him being an on-paper Living Example of an Ideal Man, but he very much is not. he's just some guy. and being big and strong but still having noticeable fat on him, especially his stomach, adds to that effect.

and ofc in contrast, the horse focuses more on his appearance (not solely, but more than canon curl) because he is Trying To Be ideal, so he's shrinkwrapped

Dean has only ever been able to achieve prolonged physical closeness through sex, and Cas has been touch-starved since his creation, and I think that cockwarming is the solution because it would allow them to experience intimacy in a way that's close enough to their current understandings of it (sex and possession) as to not trigger their feelings that they're undeserving of normal affection.

cannibalism as an allegory for love is just so fucking good. Especially when it an allegory for toxic love. Because it's just that "I love you so much it is all encompassing it runs my whole life. you are everything to me but I can't be here for you and you can't be good for me." and then they get eaten and you cry and it's amazing. I really need to watch that one show where that happens, but I can't remember what it's called.

“WTF! Why do you ship that?!?”

I fucked around and found out.

harrow nova provoking cam into beating the shit out of her in a fair fight (this is sex, To Her)

Harrow Nova is, quite frankly, a bitch.

For this reason Camilla has been able to ignore everything she's said. It's gotten under her skin, sure, but she's been able to take it resiliently.

Until-

"I could put him out of his misery over Septimus, you know."

Camilla takes a deep breath. She looks the cavalier primary in the eyes. "You have 3 seconds to take that back." Camilla sees the gleam in Harrow's eyes as she says this. Like provoking Camilla was the goal. She fully understands what's about to happen.

Harrow relaxes her shoulders.

Camilla flexes her knuckles.

1.

Camilla grabs the chain of Samuel and yanks Harrow into her knee. She was aiming for her sternum but the grip pulled Harrow off balance and Camilla's knee slams into Harrow's face.

Her nose starts bleeding freely. Camilla digs her fingers into the short hair and yanks back, forcing the smaller girl to make eye contact with her.

Harrow's jaw shifts to spit on Camilla but the tread of her boot slams into her sternum before she gets the chance.

The spit lands on the exposed section of Camilla's chest, the red dripping down slowly, staining her top. Camilla walks over to her and kicks the rapier out of her grasp before pressing her boot into Harrow's sternum. The soft space at the crest of her ribs giving slightly under Camillas pressure. "Are we done here." she asks, but they both know it's a statement.

Harrow shines a bloody grin like she's won, all the same.
