And one night he has another one of his Dark Silence nightmares; he walks down the dark corridors, heading towards what sounds like his kids screaming. He stops as soon as he sees something on the wall; handprints. The same as his kid’s handprints on the wall at home, only these ones look desperate, grasping, dragged along the wall as if they were trying to claw on while something was trying to pull them further into the darkness..
(… I’ll go and punish myself now, I think I’ve made enough angst for this week. XD)
Or just imagine one sunny day when Chase decided to revisit, but he then realise the door is already opened, he was confused, the house is all dark and silent, he walks inside and found the wall where the handprints are, there’s another extra handprint…in red blood
That…. escalated very quickly 😂
Or just the simple route of he comes over to visit one day and finds them painted over because Stacy didn’t want the reminder anymore.
Stacy painted over them, but there’s still a handprint there. Like a ghost it never really goes away, showing up through however many coats of paint get dumped onto it. Its only one handprint this time though. Chase’s. Slapped on in red.
Any story claiming to be a deconstruction of fairy tales but has nothing to offer except new types of violence, more explicit sex, and a general attitude of “lol happy endings aren’t real” is like. such a cultural waste of time tbh
know what actually is a good deconstruction of a fairy tale? Shrek. It fucks up just about everything in a normal fairy tale and still manages to have a happy ending with a good message and never once has to be ‘gritty’ or ‘dark’. It’s actually really well done.
“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
– Ursula LeGuin, ‘The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas’
In dark times such as these, it is absolutely revolutionary to be happy.
concept: a version of Super Sonic with Fleetway’s hyperactivity and over eagerness to fight, but with Sonic’s altruistic & brotherly values intact
Here’s a bonus idea for anyone seeing this: He gets himself so overconfident in this state that he forgets to keep tabs on his ring energy and depletes right as Big Arm punts Sonic across Mobius
Jack answered my question at the SLC hdwgh VIP Q&A, which was:
“If the egos had to go to college, what would they major in?”
Anti: Psychology, because he likes to get inside people’s heads
Schneep: He’s getting his MD because he’s not a real doctor yet
Chase: He got a scholarship for frisbee throwing 😂
Jameson Jackson: He’s majoring in theater, because he’s a very expressive boy
Marvin: “magicians don’t go to college, but he’d probably choose something weird, like Literature, so he can drop some Shakespeare on you as he’s sending you to the mirror dimension”
Jackaboy Man: He doesn’t need to go to college to be a superhero, too busy trying to save the world
maRVIN CAN SEND PEOPLE TO THE MIRROR DIMENSION????????
MARVIN HAS ACTUAL POWERS?! THATS CANON NOW. MIRROR DIMENSION.
Marvin going off to do something dangerous, the others trying to stop him, but then he turns around with his hand outstretched shouting “I’LL MAKE A GHOST OF HIM WHO LETS ME!”
Marvin putting someone under a sleep coma spell and chuckling “Good night, sweet prince… and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
Marvin having quite enough of Anti’s words, pushing him against the wall with his magic and puppeting his knife hand up to Anti’s neck, grinning and saying “… when he himself might his quietus make with a bare bodkin?”
Marvin giving a wink and a smile to the camera after doing something morally ambigous and telling us “There is nothing either good or bad… but thinking makes it so.”
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
I AM SO HERE FOR THIS HOLY CRAP I NEED IT
YESYESYES I NEED MORE SOPHISTICATED MARVIN IN MY LIFE
ALSO YEAH WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MIRROR DIMENSION
“The Mirror Dimension is a parallel dimension that mirrors Earth’s plane of existence, complete with the same surroundings and inhabitants. It can be accessed by users of magic, and reshaped without fear of adversely affecting the natural order of the world.”
