If you're thinking about reading the Pacific Rim novelization... you should know this first.

The only thing Alex Irvine's novelization of Pacific Rim is good for is scraping lore; and if you wanna do that, you have to compare it with all the other available text (Beacham's blog, creator interviews, Pacific Rim: Man, Machines, & Monsters, Tales From Year Zero, and Tales From The Drift) because some of the information is wrong or outdated. (Oh, and also, some of the information in PR:MMM is wrong or outdated. And Beacham occasionally hecks things up. You have to really compare your texts here.)

The novelization, you see, is just constantly like this:

Extra racism!

Nobody did embarrassment like the Japanese. Mako blushed right to her hairline and bowed several times.

Pretentious prose over authentic emotion! (Also, bonus typo!)

Whenever he got to construct something, he had that crackle in his head… especially when he was about to do something as balls-out crazy as Drift with a sample of a dead kaiju. Swap neurotrasmissions with a silicate cerebellum. Open himself up to the alien alpha waves of a nonhuman sentience.

Casual misogyny!

Mako Mori was a puzzle, and she didn’t seem to be interested in letting anyone solve her.

Hanging lampshades on "problems" that only exist in Alex Irvine's mind!

“Everybody out of here, now!” Tendo Choi started yanking cables out of the control console, hoping to cause some kind of crash in Gipsy Danger’s systems. It occurred to him that he’d shouted in Chinese, but people seemed to have gotten the message.

Capitalist bootlicker Newt!

Newt was almost as surprised. The entire Pan-Pacific Defense initiative was funded by a black marketeer who recouped his investment by selling parts of the kaiju whose killing he had financed. And some of the parts were purchased by Kaiju Science! Newt probably had tissue and organs on his lab tables that came from this Hannibal Chau person. Now that was a public-private partnership, Newt thought admiringly.

So yeah, if you're going to read the novelization, please know what you're getting into first. It's honestly one of the worst books I've ever read.

No but Raleigh telling himself every day for five years that he needs to go back he needs to go he needs to go back and at first going back is Anchorage 'cause Yancy is dead and he wants to go home.

Then the going back turns into going back to work 'cause he doesn't have money and he needs to do something with his life and he thinks "I need to return to the Shatterdome", but the fear is so intense it paralyzes him on the spot. The closest he is to going back is the Wall. Construction kinda feels like he's repairing a jaeger, right? That's good, he is keeping himself in good shape and using his time for something useful.

Every time he skips town chasing a vacant on the wall, he thinks "I should move back home" but at this points he doesn't know where it is anymore. He might not miss the trauma or the pain, but he misses being in action, feeling useful, leading. He misses his brother, he misses his jaeger, Tendo, the j-tech crew, his tiny room in the Shatterdome. He misses being able to properly eat and he misses feeling warm, not less-cold.

He thinks "I need to go back to those things before this kills me" and he doesn't. He goes with the wall. He thinks "I should go find the things I left in the Icebox" but he doesn't. A million little tasks that he let's go each day 'til it's not worth thinking about them anymore.

No one is expecting him there. He can't do it, he has not use in that sense anymore.

Raleigh stares at the horizon from the wall and wonders why the hell he's still there, on a town that doesn't recognize him, working on a wall that won't resist. There's a pull in the middle of his chest, but every time he packs to go, when morning comes, he goes to work and that's it.

Here's the truth:

The ghost that haunts Alaska is not Yancy.

Raleigh is bitter when Pentecost finds him, yes, but he caves quickly, accepting the offer without much resistant. As he helicopter flies from Alaska, Raleigh feels the ice in his heart starting to melt. Each minute he feels more like himself, like that boy he knew so well 5 years ago. His hands are his again, not some reflection of the sun. His voice is his again, it doesn't sound like the wind playing tricks on him. His body remembers the moves, feet walking on their own, eyes wide with wonder and not almost shut against the shiny white landscape.

There he can say he's finally back home.

Yeah I wanna hear everything about your 911 pacrim aus please and thank you 💜

I've got one for lone star and another one for the og show !! they're separate aus for now but I might consider combining them for funsies <333 something about me is that I also love to fuck w worldbuilding a bit. so I see the concept for pacific rim and I raise you some more batshit concepts <3333 mostly I'm messing around with the worldbuilding surrounding the Drift+everything about that, as well as some of the mechanics of Shatterdomes and how they function at top efficiency and shit like that <33

911 lone star

TK grew up on the Shatterdome because both his parents were Jaeger pilots. Owen died in a battle when TK was pretty little (<3) and when TK got old enough, he became Gwyn's new copilot until she gets killed during a mission and TK has to kill the Kaiju and finish the op by himself. he wakes up in the medbay a few weeks later, and tries to stay on as a pilot but he has his mother's eyes and everyone who looks at him only sees her. and he fucking misses his mom. so he leaves and joins the construction teams.

Judd and Mateo are copilots (brothers <3333) and Grace is the chief technician at LOCCENT (Tendo Choi's position in the movie btw). Paul and Marjan are copilots, and Nancy, Tim, and Tommy were copilots in a 3-armed Jaeger, but all three are injured during a battle gone wrong and Tim dies in the medbay. their Jaeger is taken apart and rebuilt as a 2-pilot Jaeger, and Nancy and Tommy become a 2-person crew instead. Tommy's girls (and Charlie, when she's born) live at the Shatterdome with their parents, and all 3 crews (4, when TK comes back) share a communal living space (individual sleeping spaces + communal bathrooms/living areas/dining areas) above the launch bay that holds all their Jaegers. the entire Shatterdome is organized like this, with squadrons made up of several Jaeger teams all living/fighting together as a unit. <33

Carlos is one of the candidates for piloting a Jaeger (ofc.) he joined the PPDC after his dad was killed inside a Jaeger (and I will be getting into Carlos perpetuating the narrative cycle <333) and when they reactivate TK's old Jaeger, Judd volunteers to be the one to go get him (because they're BROTHERS <33) and so that's how tarlos end up as copilots <3333

I don't really have anything else after this other than vibes but there WILL be a scene where after winning their first battle, TK loses consciousness and goes into a coma because the ptsd and physical toll was a little Too Much. and since he was In The Drift when he lost consciousness he's kinda!! trapped in there!!! and Gwyn is there because she's become the Drift. she died in the Drift and now she's part of it. so TK's in the Drift Mindscape talking to his mom (baking cookies!!!!!!) while his body is fighting to survive. and since he's trapped in the Drift, the only thing they can do to save him is send Carlos in after him!!! so Carlos also gets to be part of the mindscape vision <333333333333333

another scene I have is Tommy and Nancy both going down in a fight and the remnants of Tim's essence still contained inside their Drift takes over the Jaeger and pilots them to safety because I will write about the Drift blurring the lines between life and death if it kills me !!!

now for Jaeger names!!!!

TK and Gwyn: Harmony Echo

TK and Carlos: Glory Echo (get it because it's an ECHO of the last Jaeger yet something entirely new??? Jaeger names are the PERFECT opportunity to make some symbolism so by god I will do that)

Judd and Mateo: Outlaw Hustler (I couldn't resist giving Judd a cowboy Jaeger name. I'm right about that <33)

Paul and Marjan: Cobalt Stalker

Nancy, Tommy, and Tim: Paragon Jigsaw

Nancy and Tommy: Paragon Rebel

og 911

kinda similar vibes with the Jaeger squadrons all living together because that's a fuckin good trope and I'm a sap <333

Hen and Chim are copilots, obviously. they deserve it <333 Karen is the chief Jaeger mechanic, so she designs the Jaegers and heads up the construction crews, and also is in charge of repairs/maintenance. Maddie is one of the LOCCENT technicians, along with Josh and Linda, with Sue being the chief tech <3

Athena and Michael used to be copilots, but their connection was damaged in a battle that put them both in the hospital and prevented them from being able to Drift again. so May became Athena's new copilot, and Michael becomes one of the mechanics (Michael and Karen bestie-ship is what I'm saying <33) and also. mothers and their daughters. that is all <3

Bobby is the Marshal, and his whole family was killed in one of The Very First Kaiju Attacks. thus, his whole mission to protect the world from them because by god he has a lot of penance to pay

Buck and Daniel were copilots, and even with his cancer, Daniel fought as long and hard as he could. but eventually he couldn't fight anymore, and because Buck's DNA wasn't a match, they couldn't save him from the illness. and Buck's parents were so distraught over their (favorite) son dying that Buck Drifted with Daniel as he died to try and save him, or at least give some comfort. and Daniel tried to stop him because he didn't want that for his little brother but you know how little brothers are. they don't listen. so Buck got to feel Daniel grow weaker and weaker and finally just. die. and after that he threw himself into training with the Drift because surely his mind could be good for something!!! but he isn't compatible with anyone else!!! and he keeps lobbying Bobby to give him a chance but there isn't anything Bobby can do about it!!! and Buck knows that but he also wants to get out there and do something because he can't escape his parents' contempt and maybe if he kills some Kaiju that can change!!!!

Eddie and Shannon were copilots until Shannon is killed during battle, and Eddie finishes the fight alone. he takes Christopher inland for a few years to grieve and try to move on, but then they recommission Eddie's old Jaeger and they need him back. and predictably, Eddie and Buck become copilots <333

Jaeger names!!!

Athena and Michael: Onyx Prime (a transformers reference?? in my pacrim au??? more likely than u think <3)

Athena and May: Onyx Widow

Hen and Chim: Eden Titanic

Eddie and Shannon: Danger Diablo

Buck and Daniel: Solar Muse

Buck and Eddie: Cosmic Danger

and ik these descriptions are focusing specifically on a certain relationship dynamic but just know that I FULLY intend on expanding on all of them equally because this is a FOUND FAMILY soulmate au more than anything else <333 I believe in equal treatment in the workplace <333

After Operation Pitfall, the world was confident they had solved the problem of the Kaiju. The breach had been closed, and the world had been saved. The Pan-Pacific Defense Corps weren’t dismanded, but they were defunded after the construction of three Jaegers, in case the Kaiju came back. And then the world went back to normal.

We came up with names for the things we couldn’t name. The Precursors were the creatures that sent the Kaiju, who Ranger Beckett had seen face to face. The world from which the Kaiju came was deemed the Anteverse. And the Earth continued to spin.

Of course, not everyone believed the Kaiju were fully gone. I was one of those people, and I still am. Newton was another. We stayed lab partners for one year before Newton left and joined Shao Industries, a job specifically designed to irritate Newton’s senses of right and wrong.

🌺Pink granite 🌺

(Redesign)

English🇺🇲

History:

Pink granite before era 3 was to work helping the Bismuito, in the constructions, together with the cherts and flints, but his real passion was always to paint, that's when everything changed, watching the humans (cavemen) doing their paintings on the wall, before the big diamond attack, she retreated with the other gemstones to the home planet, but with the coming of the 3rd era she has been making pictures, selling in the pavement and taking classes with vidalia on my mini home planet.

Português 🇧🇷

História: O granito rosa antes da era 3 trabalhava ajudando o Bismuito, nas construções, junto com os cherts e pederneiras, mas sua verdadeira paixão sempre foi pintar, foi aí que tudo mudou, vendo os humanos (homens das cavernas) fazendo suas pinturas no parede, antes do grande ataque dos diamantes, ela recuou com as outras gemas para o planeta natal, mas com a chegada da 3ª era ela vem fazendo fotos, vendendo na calçada e tendo aulas com a vidalia no meu mini planeta natal.

Espanhol 🇪🇸

Historia: El granito rosa antes de la era 3 trabajaba ayudando al Bismuito, en las construcciones, junto con los pedernales y los pedernales, pero su verdadera pasión siempre fue pintar, ahí fue cuando todo cambió, viendo a los humanos (cavernícolas) hacer sus pinturas en el pared, antes del ataque del gran diamante, se retiró con las otras piedras preciosas al planeta natal, pero con la llegada de la 3ra era ha estado haciendo fotos, vendiendo en el pavimento y tomando clases con vidalia en mi mini planeta natal.

Hienghène - du 1er au 3 mai

Nous quittons Koné après un petit déjeuner à prix fort. La vie est très chère ici en Nouvelle Calédonie et les francs pacifiques n'arrangent rien à l'affaire psychologiquement quand 1000 CPF font 8,32 euros. Le porte-monnaie peut alors vite s'affoler et dépasser le seuil des 12000 CPF dans une journée quand la barre des 100 euros est atteinte.

Sur les recommandations de Manu que nous avons vu à notre arrivée, nous empruntons la RPN7 et RPN3 pour rejoindre la côte Est par Ouégoa. C'est la route transversale la plus au nord. Elle offre des perspectives incroyables sur la chaine de montagnes qui serpente du nord au sud. Nous traversons des territoires habités par les tribus autochtones. Sur le bord de la route, il n'est pas rare de voir des étals où sont déposés à la vente par les habitants du secteur des fruits, des statuettes faites à la main, des légumes et beaucoup de plants de végétaux du terroir. Nous passons devant la cascade de la Tao avant d'arriver à l'embarcadère du bac de la Ouaième, dernier vestige d'une traversée en bac en Nouvelle Calédonie. Le bac est propulsé par 2 moteurs comme on en voit sur les bateaux de plaisance. La traversée est gratuite. C'est un service public de la Province nord. Les gens du nord ont toujours de bonnes idées et le cœur sur la main. A peine arrivés à Hienghène, nous nous arrêtons à l'office de tourisme qui est ouvert le 1er mai 👍🍀🥇 c'est notre jour de chance. Une photo de Jean-Marie Tjibaou nous rappelle qu'il est un enfant de Hienghène. Nous sommes accueillis par une hôtesse fort sympathique qui nous avise des meilleures activités à faire. Nous sommes tout de suite séduits par la rencontre avec des tribus autour d'un déjeuner et d'initiation au tressage ou à la pêche à la crevettes en rivière. Nous décidons finalement de réserver le déjeuner chez Julie de la tribu Tendo, à 40 minutes depuis le centre du village en longeant la rivière Hienghène, au cœur de la brousse.

Notre hôtel pour les 2 prochaines nuits est un petit paradis en bordure d'océan, y compris pour les fourmis 🐜 et autres coléoptères friands de restes de nourriture. Une colonie est déjà présente sur le lit de la chambre qui nous a été allouée. Pas question de dormir avec ces petites bestioles. Nous demandons à changer de chambre. Ce sera la 26. Elle est nickel et libre de toute occupation. Le lendemain, nous nous rendons à Hienghène car c'est jour de marché. Sous une jolie halle qui jouxte l'océan, sont présentes des familles qui vendent le fruit de leur récolte, et des plats cuisinés. Nous achetons un taro d'eau afin de l'offrir en présent à la famille qui nous accueille comme c'est d'usage dans la tradition coutumière. La route qui mène à la tribu de Tendo ressemble à un champ de mines à mesure que nous nous enfonçons et que la route bitumée laisse la place à une piste. Nous arrivons sans encombre à destination dans un hameau de constructions et de cabanes. Il faut longer un petit chemin avant d'arriver à la maison de nos hôtes. Julie a dû s'absenter. C'est Jean-Claude et la maman de Julie qui nous invitent à nous asseoir. Jean-Claude, chef de clan, nous tient compagnie pendant le repas. Il a 56 ans, le visage buriné par le soleil, une casquette vissée sur la tête. Une grande générosité se dégage de lui. Il déborde de gentillesse et de paroles. Ça tombe bien car nous sommes curieux de tout et Jean-Claude prend le temps de nous faire partager l'histoire de sa famille, de son village, de son île, des traditions et des évolutions. Aucun doute qu'il est heureux ici entouré des siens. Il se sent libre et indépendant. Nous sommes gâtés par le repas qui nous a été concocté : du taro des montagnes, des ignames, de la papaye râpée, des bananes poingos cuites, du cerf. Plusieurs de ses enfants sont présents. Ici on vit en famille. C'est une belle leçon d'unité et d'entraide. Ici on vit du fruit de ce que la terre produit et aussi de l'accueil des touristes comme nous, les "oreilles". Jean-Claude se prête à quelques photos en souvenir de cette belle journée. Nous enverrons une des photos à l'office de tourisme dans l'espoir qu'elle puisse parvenir à Jean-Claude.

Could you clarify exactly which things good guys can do and which things bad guys can do? And can you explain why the protagonist isn’t allowed to produce a “threat?”

... It's all very narrative things, so go to a literature class or listen to some videos on narrative, literature, story? Why are you asking me to give you an education in media literacy that your school or college should have given you, Anon?

But a basic run down is:

Maxx "C" creates a story threat.

Heroes act on circumstances. Like MAYBE an Anti-Hero can do that, but the hero isn't allowed to create threats in stories, they act and are acted upon, in part due to story construction, and in part by virtue of their character. Villains and antagonists act and threaten, they cause circumstances. Heroes/Protagonists respond to circumstances.

Yes, I know Villain Protagonists exist, but for the sake of something like the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise or its snow clones, heroes respond to circumstance.

Maxx "C" is a card a villain/antagonist would use to create a menace or dire circumstances (see Tendo vs. Shouma which was its use), that the hero must overcome by virtue of their character.

Like for an example, Sawatari's Yosenju Deck is more of a villain style strategy due to its sneakiness and hit-and-run style strategy.

Seriously, go sign up for classes on this stuff or watch videoes.

2, maleigh?

• When I started shipping them: basically as soon as I first started to find stuff out about Pacrim????

• My thoughts: they're SUCH a good pairing, like they're so evenly balanced (...I mean I guess that's what drift compatibility is all about, huh) and I love that even though Mako is a super capable woman, she still lets Raleigh (who has that natural protective instinct) take care of her and defend her (particularly in that scene with Chuck). and I like that over the course of the film, Raleigh learns a lot from her about respect and dignity. they have a bit of exchange in what they give to each other and bring to their drift.

• What makes me happy about them: just,,,, them,, my beloveds,,,,, their whole vibe is just SO GOOD. Raleigh has the biggest heart eyes. Mako has just as much heart eyes for him. she's so small and he's so big and their whole aesthetic (especially Raleigh's appearance as a Stereotypical White Boy Jock paired with tiny little Japanese Mako ready to Throw Down)... they just complement each other SO WELL i love them

• What makes me sad about them: they've been through so much,,,, lost so much,,,, what on Earth is up with Uprising bc I refuse to accept that,,,, also Mako's pain when she thinks Raleigh is dead for a hot minute at the end of Pacrim gets to me. your Tendo-centric fic that touched on that makes it hit even harder hnsbdhdnsbdhs

• Things done in fanfic that annoys me: I haven't read enough fanfic to know tbh

• Things I look for in fanfic: once again, I haven't read enough fanfic about them to know. whatever it is you do. that's what I look for shdjdnsjsk

• My wishlist: idk man I would LOVE to see/read about them struggling to figure out normal life and their relationship and what domestics might look like, bc I feel like neither of them would be very great at that or settle into it very well tbh. brb gonna send you a dialogue prompt shdjdnsk

(OH ALSO I would love to see more SLR Maleigh whenever you might feel inspired for that,,,, 👀)

• Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: ????? no one?????

• My happily ever after for them: something quiet and safe, a small little wedding and maybe living in an apartment for a while before they buy a house together, just to figure things out first, ya know??? a nice house with a big fireplace and whirlpool bathtub somewhere that it snows but not too much and is warm in summer but not TOO hot. also I picture them having a huge dog, like a Bernese Mountain Dog or some such. Raleigh works at a local construction company bc otherwise he's BoredTM and gets stir-crazy, meanwhile Mako collects old cars and plays mechanic on them and teaches the kids around town how to fix up their own cars. she also collects random thrift store trinkets that clutter up the mantel at home — they have a LOT of secondhand Christmas tree ornaments. Jake (and Amara?) are coming for Christmas dinner. Mako and Raleigh haven't talked about having kids, yet, but maybe once the holidays are done. maybe someday soon.

#Lu rambles #asks #ask games #pacrim #maleigh #anoniiiiiiiiiii i love you for making me think about them so much #especially the idea of them settling into a ''normal'' life together sdfhskfshjd

anything for you [miya atsumu x reader]

pairing: miya atsumu x fem reader

genre: fluff

warning(s): n/a

word count: 1.5k

overview: your boyfriend does everything he can to make your special day as great as possible

notes: a commission for @tsumue! happy birthday lia ❤️ I hope you have a wonderful day and that this helps brighten it just a bit! sending you lots of love!

The sound of the front door to the apartment swinging shut awakens you from your deep, peaceful slumber. Rubbing your eyes to bring your surroundings into focus as you sit up with a yawn, you glance over at the alarm clock on your bedside table. You’ve woken up a bit later than usual, you find—much to your satisfaction, since you’d needed the rest after a long and tiresome week—but it’s the sharp, blue numbers displayed above the time that draw your attention. The date is a special one that makes your heart leap with excitement and brings a smile onto your lips.

With a newfound energy, you slide out of bed so you can march over to the bedroom door. Shuffling down the hallway towards the kitchen brings your significant other into view and widens the grin on your face. “Whatcha doin’, ‘Tsumu?” you inquire in a sing-song voice, making your way over to where he’s standing in front of the counter, lifting small boxes out of a plastic bag.

He jumps at the sound of your voice and whirls around to face you, caramel colored eyes wide with shock. “H-Honey! Thought you were still sleepin’!” With far less subtlety than he probably intended, he throws a dishtowel over whatever it is he was unpacking before asking, “I just got back from practice ‘nd trainin’, so, uh… wanna do me a favor ‘nd close yer eyes real quick?”

His clearly frazzled state elicits a small giggle from you, and you decide to play along by shutting your eyes and waiting patiently as you listen to his footsteps travel around your shared home. Soon enough, you feel something come to rest atop your head that feels like a headband, and a small object being placed into the palm of your hand.

When Atsumu tells you to open your eyes, you see him standing in front of you, a fluffy, pink party hat on his head and a small party popper in his hand. Pointing it away from you, he pulls on the string to unleash a wave of confetti and streamers with a loud pop, and you do the same with the one you realize he’s given you in the spirit of things.

“Happy birthday, (f/n)!” he cheers, dumping a clump of confetti over your head and pulling you into a tight hug. His lips meet with yours as he pulls away so he can give you a few, affectionate kisses. “Love ya, baby.”

Your heart flutters in your chest at the tenderness behind his actions, and your fingers tangle themselves in his golden head of hair so you can bring him closer to you to reward him with a few more pecks. “I love you too,” is your gentle response given with a grin that spreads across his own lips as well, “Thanks, babe.”

“Please, hold yer ‘thank yous’ til the end,” he notes with a snicker, “Or else you’ll be givin’ a lot of ‘em today.” As he brushes a few pieces of brightly colored tissue paper off his Team Japan sweater, he makes his way back into the kitchen. “Gimme a sec, ‘kay?”

While he messes around with what he’s brought home, you wander over to a mirror in the entryway to check what’s on your head. To your amusement, he’d placed a headband on you that reads, in silver letters extending atop your head, “It’s my birthday!”

Once he’s finished with his task, he calls you back into the living room where you’re greeted with a plate of your favorite dessert. Plunged into it are two, burning candles that read out your age, and he gestures for you to join him so he can serenade you with what is always an off-tune rendition of Happy Birthday. He tries, and that’s what matters, which is why you pull him into a tight hug before the two of you dig into your sweet meal.

“Hey,” he mentions after you’ve both scarfed down your breakfast treats, “Why don’tcha go ‘nd get the shower runnin’? I’ll be there in a minute.”

You furrow your eyebrows at him and tease, “You’re the stinky one between us, ‘Tsumu.”

“Which is why I’m comin’ in with ya!” he groans, “Now, go on. I’ll clean this up.”

Rather than continuing your banter with him, as you normally would, you decide to go along with his plans and head into the bedroom. His hand planting itself firmly on your butt before you walk away doesn’t surprise you, and you simply chuckle as you smack it away playfully. It’s not long after you’ve stripped off and gotten into the shower to freshen up that he comes to join you and snatches the soapy loofah out of your hands so he can work on lathering you up instead. And when the two of you have finished enjoying each other’s company beneath the warm water, you find another surprise waiting for you on top of a set of comfy pajamas he’s laid out over the bed for you.

With wide, (e/c) eyes, you reach for the bracelet resting atop one of your—his—favorite sweaters, and Atsumu carefully fastens it around your wrist for you. Gently, he kisses the back of your hand while you admire the way the dainty jewelry looks against your skin. “Atsumu…” you murmur, still in awe of how beautiful it is, “I love this so much.” It’s hard not to thank him for it, but you know he’ll tease you if you do, so you settle for showing your appreciation by showering him with kisses.

“Looks perfect on ya,” he comments when your lips separate, “’nd I bet it’ll go great with my sweater.”

A giggle bubbles in your throat as you take a moment longer to fawn over your newest accessory before getting dressed. In the brief silences that linger in the room during the pauses in your conversation, you swear you hear the television on in the living room. Noticing your gaze drift towards the door brings Atsumu to attention, and he rushes out of the bedroom to investigate. However, when you hear the sound of an argument echoing through the door—instigated by your boyfriend’s clear, “Oi! What the hell are ya doin’? Turn it down!”—you’ve already formed your suspicions, which are confirmed when you wander outside.

Standing in the center of the room, beneath an array of multicolored streamers and a huge HAPPY BIRTHDAY! sign is none other than Osamu—a party hat perched atop his head of dark hair and a plate of what you’d had for breakfast in one of his hands. When he sees you, he puts the dessert down for a moment to place a noisemaker in his mouth and give it a blow as he shoots off another party popper.

“’Tsumu offered you some food in exchange for doing this, huh?” you mention after the two of you break away from a hug and he’s offered you his warm, birthday wishes.

He nods and chuckles before saying, “But, even if he hadn’t, I woulda stopped by anyway. Giving you a pat on the shoulder, he offers, “Next time ya come over to the restaurant, yer meal’s on me if ya wear that headband.”

“What about mine?” Atsumu butts in.

“It ain’t your birthday, ‘Tsumu,” is his quick retort, “Anyway, I’ll be leavin’ you two lovebirds alone now ‘nd gettin’ back to work. Hope ya have a nice day, (f/n).”

With that said, he grabs a container from your kitchen to take his unfinished dessert in before heading out again, only stopping to take a few photos of you and Atsumu together beneath the sign he’s put up when his twin nags him about it. Once he’s gone, your boyfriend makes a quick trip to the bedroom to grab, you soon find, layers of blankets that he tosses onto the floor.

“Blanket fort?” he suggests, a bright smile lighting up his handsome features.

Enthusiastically, you accept by helping him rearrange your furniture to construct a small hideaway beneath layers of blankets. After you’ve ensured that it won’t collapse in on you, the two of you fill it with pillows before grabbing a laptop to watch movies on and climbing inside. Atsumu reaches out towards you, welcoming you into his arms so he can pull your body flush against his and ensconce yourselves beneath a blanket.

Giving you a squeeze and pressing his lips to the crown of your head, he murmurs, “Wanna just stay like this for the whole day?”

You hum with approval as you nestle your head in the crook of his neck and pepper his exposed skin with tender pecks. “I would love to.” A short silence befalls the two of you, during which he takes to tracing little circles along the small of your back with his fingers. “‘Tsumu?”

“What’s up?”

“I know the day’s not over yet but thank you—for all of this. I really appreciate it.”

Directing your gaze upwards at him brings your eyes to his, and the loving look he regards you with fills your body with warmth. The kiss he plants on your lips is tender and soft, and he seals his gentle expression of affection with the words, “Anything for you, sweetheart.”

fun fact that didn’t make it into the story: most of the guys from the team bought you a gift, and omi’s was a pair of team japan socks since he got worried about you when you said your feet were prone to getting cold.

REPRESENTAÇÃO FEMININA NA FOTOGRAFIA: Vivien aos olhos de Julia Margaret Cameron

Thiago Melo Costa Ramos

RESUMO: A diferença de tratamento da personagem feminina entre o poema Merlin and Vivien de Alfred Tennyson e as fotografias Vivien and Merlin de Julia Margaret Cameron revelam estereótipos presentes na representação das personagens. A análise das fotografias feitas por Cameron em comparação ao texto escrito por Tennyson revela o arquétipo da mulher fatal presentes na Vivien.

Palavras-Chave: Fotografia. Julia Margaret Cameron. Representação feminina. Século XIX.

1 INTRODUÇÃO

Julia Margaret Cameron foi uma mulher pioneira no campo da fotografia do século XIX. As suas representações do poema de Alfred Tennyson “Idílios do Rei” apresentam personagens femininas com abordagens diferentes em relação ao texto. Nas fotos Merlin and Vivien percebe-se uma ótica diferente da expressa no poema, em específico Vivien, que é abordada de maneira única por Cameron. A personagem é retratada por Alfred Tennyson como uma vilã, que se aproxima do arquétipo de Femme Fatale, conforme descrito na trama por Raissa Gonçalves “Despeitado, o Rei Mark propõe a Vivien causar discórdia e problemas entre os cavaleiros de Arthur. Para a desdenhosa Vivien, qualquer pessoa poderia ser pura e virtuosa como o Rei Arthur, e ela aceita a desestabilizá-los e voltar para Mark “com os corações dos cavaleiros em sua mão”.” (GONÇALVES, 2018, p.49). Através da análise temática e técnica das duas fotografias do trecho Merlin and Vivien, a pesquisa tem como objetivo revelar o estereótipo na representação feminina presente no poema de Tennyson e como Cameron conseguiu representar Vivien distanciando-a do estereótipo, para criar uma personagem feminina empoderada na fotografia, tendo em vista que grande parte da representação feminina da época era feita por homens e fortemente influenciada por estereótipos e machismo.

2 ANÁLISE

2.1 Contextualização da obra

As duas obras denominadas Vivien and Merlin de Julia Margaret Cameron são representações do poema Merlin and Vivien, escritos por Alfred Tennyson com base em romances de cavalaria sobre Rei Arthur e os cavaleiros da Távola Redonda. A temática da obra se relaciona profundamente com o poeta e a fotógrafa, pois Tennyson vive na Inglaterra do século XIX durante a atuação da Irmandade Pré-rafaelita, que traz o revivalismo da Idade Média. Cameron tem uma vasta produção de obras com forte influência desse grupo de artistas em suas fotografias ao longo de sua vida e a obra Vivien and Merlin é uma delas.

2.2 Análise crítica da obra

A duas fotografias são feitas por impressões de albúmen a partir de negativos de colódio úmido, nas quais permitia que a fotógrafa interferisse no resultado final da imagem. A escolha da técnica é em grande parte motivada pelo pensamento pictorialista de aproximar o pintor/artista do fotógrafo ao permitir a manipulação da fotografia, aproximando-se à interferência do pintor em um quadro. As duas obras tratadas abaixo revelam algumas das características das fotos feitas por Cameron, o experimentalismo (principalmente no desfoque) e ao mesmo tempo são os motivos da crítica da época à produção da artista. Os títulos das imagens são outra peculiaridade das fotografias, que indicam as intenções de Cameron em privilegiar e dar atenção à representação da personagem Vivien “[...] indício da mudança sutil de juízo de valor dado à figura de Vivien por Cameron está no próprio título da fotografia. Como bem observou Victoria C. Olsen (1995, p. 380), ela inverteu o título do poema de Tennyson, intitulando-a de Vivien and Merlin (e não o contrário).” (PEREIRA, 2017, p.143). A análise das fotos permite identificar outros elementos que abordam a personagem em uma ótica diferente da tratada no poema, além de distanciá-la de estereótipos. Ao olhar a primeira foto (figura 1), percebe-se que o foco é no gestual e nas figuras representadas, Vivien está apoiando a mão na barba de Merlin, enquanto olha para os seus olhos em uma tentativa de seduzi-lo. Essa imagem tenta capturar esse momento íntimo, que ela tenta se aproximar dele e ganhar intimidade e confiança com o mesmo. As fotografias de Cameron evitam optar por uma representação que reforce a objetificação do corpo feminino, as figuras (Vivien sendo uma delas), nunca são representadas nuas ou com erotismo e isso é algo percebido em todas as produções da fotógrafa, na qual dá destaque ao gestual e o íntimo.

A segunda foto (figura 2) mostra Vivien apontando o dedo e confrontando Merlin, o qual mantém uma postura passiva, conforme visto na primeira imagem em que ele está sentado olhando para ela. A altura das personagens na foto muda também, mas o destaque é para Vivien, que apresenta mais autonomia na segunda cena, além de ser representada como a maior figura da foto. A inversão de tamanho entre as figuras da foto não altera a representação do agente da ação, tendo em vista que na primeira foto ela coloca a mão na barba dele e na segunda ela que aponta e confronta-o. Ao comparar as fotos com o poema, há um claro contraste na representação feminina pelo poeta e na representação visual do mesmo pela fotógrafa. No texto de Tennyson, a personagem é apresentada como desdenhosa e maliciosa, que são características exploradas na motivação dela em seduzir Merlin, mas o tratamento dado à personagem é comparável ao arquétipo da mulher fatal, a mulher que engana o homem (através da sedução), para manipulá-lo e conseguir algo de seu interesse. Esse estereótipo visto no poema pode ser lido através dos elementos presentes na mulher fatal como “Primeiro, a sexualidade dela. Segundo, o poder e a força (sobre homens) que essa sexualidade gera para a mulher fatal. Terceiro, os enganos, disfarces e confusões que rodeiam ela, produzindo uma figura ambígua para a audiência e o herói. Quarto, como consequência dessa mulher como “enigma”, tipicamente localizado dentro de uma estrutura narrativa investigativa, que procura a “verdade” entre os enganos” (SIMKIN, 2014, p. 6, tradução nossa)¹. A fotografia feita por Cameron se distancia do arquétipo trazido no poema e traz uma Vivien mais íntima, autônoma e empoderada, por saber de suas capacidades e poder de sedução sobre os homens. Ela é uma mulher inteligente, pois sabe conseguir o que quer através dos homens, que se sentem intimidados e seduzidos. Merlin por sua vez, é descrito como um homem sábio e de boa moral, o qual é colocado como vítima da mulher fatal, que o engana para aprender o feitiço de transformar pessoas em estátua e se torna vítima dela, quando ela usa o encantamento contra ele.

3 CONCLUSÃO

O poema Merlin and Vivien reflete o arquétipo da mulher fatal na personagem feminina, levando em conta que ela se torna uma ameaça para os homens (e a sociedade em que está inserida), a partir do momento que ela é autônoma e inteligente ao ponto de ser capaz de enganar os homens para conseguir o que quer. Na obra de Tennyson, Vivien atua como uma vilã, além de ser caracterizada negativamente por essas características, enquanto Merlin permanece uma figura passiva e vítima das ações que partem da antagonista. A fotografia de Cameron vai se distanciar do estereótipo ao retratar a mesma personagem empoderada e com autonomia nas fotos. As cenas retratadas vão focar no sentimental e gestual da mulher inteligente e com atitude. Esse contraste entre a representação feminina por Tennyson e Cameron expressa a diferença de tratamento das mulheres na Inglaterra da era vitoriana em pleno período da Primeira Onda Feminista, visto que há uma mudança no estatuto das mulheres da época. Por fim, o estereótipo da mulher fatal será continuamente desenvolvido nos anos posteriores as obras tratadas, mas ainda sobre os mesmos elementos já mencionados e com o acréscimo de novos elementos no cinema do século XX.

________________________________________________

¹ “First, her seductive sexuality. Second, the power and strength (over men) that this sexuality generates for the femme fatale. Third, the deceptions, disguises and confusion that surrounds her, producing her as an ambiguous figure for both the audience and the hero. Fourth, as a consequence the sense of woman as ‘enigma’, typically located within an investigative narrative structure which seeks to find ‘truth’ amidst the deception.”

headcanons about newt and music

he really likes whatever genre the front bottoms are. that shit is his fave.

he also loves queercore and punk music (obviously).

Sarah and the safeword, dog park dissidents, paleye royals, are all faves

you know he likes mcr. you know he has a crush on Gerard way. you know this in your heart of hearts all I had to do was say it out loud

one time he and hermann get drunk and he says "hey I wanna play you something I think you'll like" and he puts on hozier and Hermann loves that, but he pretends to hate the remixes of classical pieces and they jam for a while, until Newt sees that 100 gecs is gonna come in next and he thinks "oh this will be fuckin hilarious" and he says "oh I think you'll really like this next one" and Hermann gives him such a sweet drunk smile that he almost feels bad. Hermann jumps out of his seat when bloodstains comes on and that's how newt permanently lost aux privelages.

Hermann gets him back by making him listen to an hour of lo-fi remixes and bad cover versions of his favourite songs while they're driving somewhere ("what the fuck how did you get a fucking lo-fi remix of heterosexuality is a construct Hermann I am begging you to stop" "Tendo made this one at my request" "I'm going to fucking murder him")

Newt sings very loudly in the shower and Hermann tells him that it's very distracting, but when Newt asks if he should stop Hermann says no.

his comfort band is Bug Hunter. if he listens to Dear McCracken or Be Glad I Love you (go to bed) when he's sad he will cry but in a good way

he listens to meme songs unironically. if asked he'd say it's to annoy Hermann by ghost drifting carmell dansen into his head but he really just thinks it's a bop

you know he screams "you should've raised a baby girl I should've been a better son" every time. you know it. Hermann is worried that he's still struggling with internalised transphobia and Newt says "fuck yeah I am dude but sometimes it's a vibe" and Hermann has absolutely no idea what that means so he just. Holds his hand for that line from then on.

They/them/theirs by worriers gives him unbridled gender euphoria even though he uses he/him/his

Rae Spoon's I hear them calling is a song he would play and dream about top surgery when he was younger, and now that he's had it that song just makes him really happy to see how far he's come

still on the topic of gender you also know true trans soul rebel is a top ten all time favourite songs. we all know this but I wanted to say it anyway. Hermann likes this one too.

he listens to some cavetown but is sure to not pay for it or to listen to cover versions instead because cavetown has a long and continuing history or antisemitism and racism

he loves Penelope Scott

now listen this is 100% me projecting but when he gets bummed about his daddy issues he listens to pink lemonade by the wombats. the line "does he take you places we can't afford to go?" hits him like a freight train every time because his dad left him and his mother poor while he went off and got his new girlfriend extremely expensive gifts. this one is a personal comfort idea because newt having my exact daddy issues makes me feel like maybe I could also get a Phd.

he doesn't like musicals nearly as much as Hermann does, but after the 100 gecs incident they spend a lot of long drives listening to musical soundtracks and he gets pretty into it.

he has a playlist full of glass animals and teddy Hyde and Jack Stauber and it's called "sex playlist" but he only listens to it when he's high

he is not ashamed to like early 2010s pop but Hermann is

that's all I can think of rn but feel free to add on :)

#ajdnakjdnd this is so long im so sorry #also yeah. yeah im just assigning him a lot of my music taste. i do apologize for this #newmann #newt geiszler
