And so again the hollow pitter-patter of the rain on broad June leaves - as the hungry, hungry sky swallows the deep blue hills // Part 51
“And suddenly, the monster in him falls silent as he rests his head on her lap.”

Elisa Maza, from Gargoyles, as part of a sketch suggestion stream and a reminder that I need to rewatch all of Gargoyles one day very soon
I keep thinking about a situation where Goliath has to carry Xanatos and them both being disgruntled about it. Goliath would probably carry him by his foot, let him dangle a few thousand feet in the air out of spite, but he'd preferably carry him by his throat.
In one case I can see Xanatos milking the experience for all it's worth, constantly trying to get under Goliath's skin to see how far he can push him under the circumstances.
"Don't you think that's a bit dangerous, dear"
"If he drops me, I win. And Goliath knows that"
"So, Goliath work out often?"
"I will drop you."
"And here I thought we kissed and made up"
"I will make sure you fall on your head"
"Ill probably be dead before I hit the asphalt"
"A pity."
Fox and Elisa find the scene freaking hilarious, though Elisa does try to talk Goliath into dropping the smug bastard; just to give him a little scare.
I don't usually get personal on here, or discuss discourse or anything like it, but I find so hard, as poc to simply enjoy media featuring characters that are also poc without everyone, including fellow poc, and their mother ripping it apart because it's not absolutely perfect. Can't we have fun fantasy, action adventure featuring people of color without having be bogged down by constant themes of racism, slavery, microaggression, historical accuracy, and enjoy media by poc without having to bitch and moan, tear down because it's not equivalent to freaking Shakespeare.
Y'know guys we can have fun with are media too.
I can't stop thinking about Fox and Elisa getting pregnant around the same time and bonding over having the same type of carvings.
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.
Storyboarding the opening sequence of Gargoyles for a class assignment! I watched the sequence a couple of times and wrote down the beats before jumping in. I stopped at 40 sec though, but I might come back and do the rest of the sequence if I have time. Alas, back to my grad project/portfolio!

“You guys better appreciate this.”

“Look Matt, you need to know something about me. I don’t care about UFOs, Loch Ness, or secret societies. Believe me, the worlds strange enough as it is.”
Oh, that’s right, this thing still exists.
And finally, a quiet domestic evening at the Goliath Residence.
