not really the problem here mate but thanks

Gabz talks briefly about production design and how it represents and reflects characters and story, part 1/?:

CROWLEY’S FLAT/AZIRAPHALE’s BOOKSHOP vs. HELL/HEAVEN

Alright, so I’ve seen a couple posts about how Crowley and Aziraphale’s living spaces are contrasts of their respective head offices of Hell and Heaven. I also found this contrast to be extremely interesting and it didn’t occur to me at first until I saw Crowley’s flat.

So let’s start with Crowley’s flat. It’s sparse and open. Hell is crowded and cramped. The very fact that he has a flat designed this way, his own space, speaks to his uncomfort with the confinement and claustrophobic nature of Hell’s environment. His flat is minimalistic, but it’s methodical. The climate of Hell is connected to the space it occupies, so for Crowley the way to separate himself from that is to use the power he has being on earth to design himself a space diametrically opposed to Hell. It’s a safe space, breathing room (well, until Hastur and Ligur try to disrupt that). It’s freeing and freedom is something Crowley craves constantly (his insistence on running away). It’s not that he likes the empty privacy of his flat because he clearly doesn’t like to be alone. It’s the sheer fact that his flat creates a physical and psychological separation from Hell.

And many of the same things can be said about Aziraphale’s bookshop. It’s very intimate and filled to the brim with books. Heaven, on the other hand, is empty and vast. There is a cold and clinical feel to Heaven that leaves Aziraphale feeling uncared about. He is an entity of love, after all. He has a genuine warm and friendly personality that has been dilated and warped by the need to maintain the Heaven facade in front of his superiors. His bookshop is an extension of the love he feels - for books, for knowledge, for humanity, etc - and it helps him to retain that warmth that is lacking in Heaven. His space is designed to shelter himself, relieving the anxiety that the environment and structure of Heaven consistently causes him. The empty space leaves Aziraphale feeling exposed and under observation where expectations can never be met.

Both Crowley and Aziraphale’s living spaces are important to the overall story because they represent the rejection of the environments that they have been forced into, and they reflect the emotional and psychological need for a safe space/escape. Another potent piece of this is choice. Their earthly spaces are designed according to how they want them to be, while they have no control over the spaces of their head offices.

So yeah, there’s some brief thoughts. I didn’t even get into location or color palettes of these spaces. I might have to write about that next…

i see a lot of stuff i’d forgotten about when i dig through my old drawings, but i definitely didn’t expect to have forgotten about an entire 80 page zine… 🧍

Spider punk

[ID:

Fake variant cover for a spider-punk comic. It’s a digital illustration with spidey jumping in the air with one leg stretched out above him, he is also holding an electric guitar. He has spikes on his head, and he’s wearing a jean jacket that also has spikes. He’s also wearing red converse sneakers. Above him is written “spider-punk” in different types of fonts, the first word looking like a bunch of cut out letters, and the second looking like graffiti art. Next to the text is a small Spider-Man icon also in a graffiti style]

I've seen lots of spider-man Steddie AUs and although I don't write AUs like this I love spider-man let me tell you I've got comic brain all the time, it's just. listen listen why are we making Steve into Peter Parker when Eddie is right there

I mean! impoverished nerd raised by a single parent who is actually not a biological parent but who would give up /anything/ to protect their kid (because that is their kid, that's their BOY and he has been through enough thank you very much)

Teenager who is so smart but struggles in school because of the amount of responsibility hanging over his head, because he has to help provide for his family, because he has to make up for some self-perceived wrongdoing from his past (we have almost no canon info about his parents/ where he was before wayne took him in, the origin story potential is without limit!!! imagine him getting into a dangerous situation with his mother, listening when she tells him to /run/ and then having to cope with the fact that he could have stayed behind and potentially saved her for the rest. of. his. life. that's what spider-man's all about, that guilt and that responsibility to help because he can, having to choose to get up over and over again because the world just won't give him a break)

He's got these walls he puts up against the rest of the world, says to himself "none of them could possibly understand where I'm coming from with their party lifestyles and their sports" which is just SO early comics Peter that guy carries around so much anger right at the surface of everything he does even after he takes up the vigilante mantle. and in return he does NOT look like superhero material on the surface-- he is not remotely what people picture when they try to work out spider-man's identity which, like, tattooed metalhead taking on the spandex? as if. ("look at me, I am no hero." because he hardly even sees himself as one, he's just doing what he has to because when he turns heel and runs instead people get hurt and it's /his fault/)

also just. vigilantism being inherently against the law, spider-man /never/ being on the same side as the police because he wouldn't be doing what he was doing if he thought the damn cops could handle it.

it's just so. it's.

THAT'S EDDIE MUNSON. okay i'm done good day.

Instead of making up shitty racist headcanons about Miles shoplifting join me in headcanoning him picking up ballet because he thought Gwen being a ballerina was super neat and it would help him in his spiderman job

when you want to support your son’s interests and career even if that means going on a stakeout in a remote location at 3am in the pouring rain to catch some incredibly violent criminals and you’re pretty sleep deprived and hungover and you really don’t understand his taste in music but you don’t have anything else to do and you love your son anyway

Recently I’ve been reading a lot of Tintin comics after watching the 2011 CGI film, so here’s my rendition of the beloved characters!
