Anyway I got a new phone w a stylus and the default notes app feel so nice to draw in. Limited tools though so I'll learn how to draw w an actual art program on this at some point ;@;
Thinking bout a short comic about a guy sailing a boat to Antarctic and his ‘hallucinated’ dead lover who comes to visit him for one hour each day
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish may be one of, if not, the best movie in the past decade that truly shows what proper character development actually goes.
While I do love the voice acting of Antonio Banderas giving a near authentic yell of desperation and fear.
The thing I love the most about this scene is that Puss is so determined to get his wish out of fear. He's completely lost all composure and is thinking and speaking irrationally. The famed "Fearless Hero" is trembling out of fear.
Especially this scene here where he struggles why he needs the wish.
He's so afraid and desperate to get the wish that his reasoning to have it was to continue being "The Legend", completely removing Kitty and everyone else out of the picture.
Like I previously mentioned, he lost all composure, he's trembling, stuttering, being irrational, and most of all afraid. It's the complete opposite of what he was in the beginning. The notion of only having one life has changed him dramatically.
It's only later on when he faces Death and realizes that he's no longer fighting to continue his legacy. He's now fighting for his one and only remaining life. To live life to the fullest.
Armed with courage and bravery. He no longer shows fear, instead he faces Death like the way he faced bigger foes before, like the Fearless Hero we know we love.
Before: "I don't want to die."
Now: "I want to live."
"The fear of Death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
- Mark Twain
This movie is a masterclass of writing character development and I'm loving every second of it!

He wears veils and dresses in many sculptures and art or depictions of him on vases
In ancient art and literature, Apollo is frequently portrayed as the ideal of the kouros: beardless, athletic youth. This representation emphasizes his beauty and grace, often aligning with qualities traditionally associated with both genders
He’s described as “pretty,” “graceful,” “beautiful,” “delicate.”
He has a gentle speaking voice and soft features.
Apollo is basically a twink-coded solar enigma with infinite potential.
The Orphic Hymns, along with other ancient texts, often describe Apollo using epithets that emphasize his youthful beauty and radiant appearance, which can be interpreted as androgynous or effeminate by modern standards.
In the Orphic Hymn to Apollo, he is referred to as:"Golden-haired" (χρυσοκόμης, chrysokómēs) "Delian king who has eyes shining light on mortals"
Statues like the Apollo Belvedere depict him with:
Graceful and delicate features
Flowing hair
A poised and elegant stance
These artistic choices further highlight his androgynous beauty.
Also Niobe and Marsyas's comments on his appearance is pushing this even more
“Cloud Retainer would definitely not approve of Venti she’d criticize everything from his drinking to his clothes“ “okay but then she’d go and put him in something arguably worse”
Bonus:
Played disco elysium and got real inspired by the art style so here’s my funky dude in a more oil painty style
