Bloqbustervideo - King Big Dick Of Fanart Mountain

newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it

me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.

One thing I love about the late series switch to a Marco/Ax/Tobias team is that each one of them thinks that they're the straight man in the group and they're all so very much not (Tobias probably comes closest but, uh, "look at my butt" for one example.) It's such a fun development that I wish it was made earlier.

That is such a good point.  I hadn’t even considered that perspective before, but you’re exactly right that each one of them thinks that he’s the only sane one keeping the other two from going totally off the rails… and in a way they’re all kind of right.

Like, Tobias and Ax are wildly incompetent at everyday human interaction without Marco’s influence.  Tobias is a precious bby birb and also an utter dork who doesn’t get how social norms work even BEFORE he becomes a feral child who lives in the woods and eats rats, and obviously it only gets worse with time.  Ax ironically will sometimes pick up on nuances about human society that even Tobias misses, but he also misreads human communication badly enough to think that motor oil is food.  The shorm-kids need Marco’s social canniness to pass unnoticed around civilians.

Whereas Ax and Marco get up to the dumbest shit imaginable any time Tobias isn’t around to exert enough influence.  Those two try to run down a group of humans as mice, concoct a “brilliant” plan to escape Visser Three that’s literally just “jump out of a spaceship in midair and hope for the best,” advance human communications technology by a decade or so on accident, and hack the CIA’s private databases to steal top-secret government information BECAUSE THEY’RE BORED.  Tobias, as you said, is the closest thing that team has to an actual voice of reason, in the sense that he actually thinks about the consequences of his actions on occasion.

And don’t get me started on Marco and Tobias without Ax.  If Marco and Ax get too much done, these two get nothing done without Ax.  Instead, they stop in the middle of super-urgent missions to bicker about topics that include (but are not limited to) whether Cassie has ever played hackysack, the viability of Marco’s idea for a Star Trek spinoff, Tobias’s alleged dolphin-riding potential, what to put in their hypothetical memoir, how to dispose properly of a stolen tank, which Teletubby is which, and the definition of the word “diurnal.”  Marco and Rachel can bicker-flirt and fight yeerks at the same time; Marco and Tobias cannot.  They need Ax there to remind them that their debate about Sega systems can wait for a time when they’re not actively being shot at by yeerks.

For kaito, I figured that i wanted to make her, specifically kid, more masc presenting. There's the thing with translating kid's charm. If you try to change the target audience from mostly girl fans to guys, you'd run in the trouble of figuring out what kind of flirt she does. Seductive could work, but i prefer depicting a gentlemanly flirt than of a seductress type.

Kaito wore only pants in her early appearances as kid, both for ease of movement and to keep her image as a gentlemanly thief. She'd eventually ease up after the frequent disguises and cross-dress. Using a feminine appearance to mess with the police force and have fun~ Having established her (masc) kid persona well in the public's mind. Whether she's a man or woman is still up to debate, tho. Doesn't mean it'll stop the fangirls from fangirling.

Me, it's me, I'm the fangirl/lh

Shincihi's one will be a little short since i'm still trying to figure out how i want conan to be (since she'd be spending most of her detco time as conan). I like to fancy the idea that she've done some modeling when she was younger, then stopped because she wanted to pursue a detective line of work instead. I also gave her yukiko's curl because it's too pretty to miss.

Their heights? Undecided, but kaito is taller by an inch or two

ULYSSES AND THE SIRENS /1909/ by HERBERT JAMES DRAPER.

Odysseus (Ulysses in Roman mythology) is a hero in Homer's epic poem. He encountered the dreaded Sirens while he was on his return journey from the Trojan War. In ancient Greek mythology, Sirens were creatures, part woman and part bird, inhabiting an island along the strait between Italy and Sicily.

Sirens lured sailors to their doom with their bewitching singing voices. Odysseus heeded the goddess Circe's advice and made his crew plug their ears and tie him to the ship's mast. He ordered them not to untie him no matter what he said. As they got to the island, Odysseus got enchanted by the Siren's voices; he pleaded with his men to free him, but they ignored his cries. Fortunately, they got passed the island without any fatalities, proceeding with their journey home.

In Draper's painting, Ulysses is tied to the mast, completely drawn to the Sirens' seductions. Ancient Greek depictions of the Sirens were scary, ugly bird-like creatures, Draper paints beautiful mermaids invading Ulysses' ship, a rather interesting approach. The Sirens are nude or nearly nude, with their tails disappearing as they climb aboard.

The painting's portrayal of the Sirens coincides with other Victorian and Edwardian era artwork, a clear "femme fatale" archetype. I like how Draper maintains the spirit of the story by transferring the Sirens' allure from their song to their visible form.
