More art for your face because Uni is stressful and drawing is my coping mechanism UwU
I was practicing rendering and facial expressions with one of my AU’s, Climate
(He’s actually rly sweet and kind and kinda laid back so drawing him a little crazy was fun)
Then one of my Comfort shipssss CandyXNega
Not my fave (BloodyCrops I will treasure you forever) and I’ve never actually seen anyone else ship these two, usually only CandyXNegative (which is a different AU) but I think it’s sweet, (ha, get it? Cause it’s Candy snas??))
And finally, another Animation WIP cause I wanted to practice and Shattered Dream is fun to draw (love me some good Dream angst)
Also I did this with, like, two layers and I’ve taught myself animation so idk what I’m doing

I don't think they're filming this one properly but they did put a bunch of clips on, appropriately for this opera, the hellsite (derogatory), although they're mostly shot from an angle that is not very dynamic. Some of them still look pretty cool! Other choices seem a little more questionable. I think @tuttocenere is completely right that there's some definite inspiration from both the 1989 San Francisco one (with Samuel Ramey) and the 2015 Bayerische Staatsoper one (with Rene Pape). Anyway, here's some links for people who aren't tired of my constant spouting off about this opera (I am not gonna stop doing it but hey).
Prologue (MEPHISTOPHELES WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS TOWARD THAT CHOIRBOY)
Act I chorus (OLD MAN ON THE PITCH)
"Son lo spirito che nega" (okay I kinda love the delivery here and the constant violation of Faust's personal space)
"Ecco il mondo" (as discussed here)
Walpurgisnacht chorus (end of Act 2)
Walpurgisnacht chorus (another take)
And a few pics:
I used to do a lot more transatlantic stalking of theater productions back in this day. It's kind of a blast from the past.
Leverage Log: Ten Little Grifters Job & 15 minutes Job
Nate is dying.
Or i think at least preparing for imminent retirement. (but because this is a show, and shows run on drama... He's dying)
First episode of the season involves him risking his own life climbing the mountain recklessly. Second episode has him force Elliot to play the Grifter. This episode has him put Hardison in the Thuggish Robber role (a hitter role), and test Parkers skills as a grifter as well.
Somewhere in the 2 weeks between San Lorenzo and the Long Way Down. Nate got a medical test or something, and he is dying. (for dramatic reasons, bet it's also gonna be the same thing that killed his son.) Its why he doesnt care if he dies on the mountain, and why he's trying to test which of the "kids" is the most versatile at covering eachothers bases. He's trying to prepare them for his own exit.
Also explains why after finally getting his relationship with Sofie somewhat sorted out, he suddenly decides to backwalk it. (doesnt want her attached to a dying man).
I could be wrong, but if im right I expect a lot more characters playing "against type" in these next few cons.
---
Episode 2 is nice. Classic "murder mystery theme party turns into murder mystery themed murder mystery"-plot. (cant believe that something so recursively specific has become a "standard" plotline at this point. But it has)
Episode 3 is nice, Nate vs Nega-Nate. Shadow archetype type stuff.

And we have another vaguely-ominous mystery antagonist. Lets hope this one has more personality/goals then the Italian did.
Fans have been confused about Eggman Nega's status. Whether there are 2 Negas, or Rush or Rivals contradicts each other
There's only 1
In the 2012 Sonic Boom Q&A:
Speaker: Iizuka-san, can you please clear out the story of Silver, Blaze and Eggman Nega? Also to mention, in the future, Sonic Rush, Sonic Rivals and Sonic 2006 they all know each other, but in Sonic Colors, they never met.
Takashi Iizuka (as translated by the Q&A board's translator): So everyone probably knows this, but Silver and Eggman Nega are from the future, and Blaze is from an alternate dimension. But in 2006, basically what happens is that everyone had like amnesia.”
This question is a bit mangled. Basically, the recipient is asking why they (Silver and Blaze) know each other in 06, but didn't in Colors DS. Along with asking what the beef is with Nega
Iizuka's second answer address what happens AFTER Elise blows out the candle, though is misinterpreted as "Everyone had amnesia throughout 06's events". Fans took this to explain why Blaze didn't remember Sonic in 06 (which is false, she does), which led to more confusion. Yay
Back to Nega, for the first answer, he stands firm on Nega being from the future. Despite it seemingly contradicting Rush
However...
The first thing to note is this in Rush for Blaze's first boss
Eggman dimension hopped, and stole the Sol Emeralds. Blaze got whisked into Sonic's world after chasing him
Later it's revealed Nega was responsible for the dimension hopping (Sonic version of scene)
So Nega provided the tech/means to dimension hop. Why would he have that in the first place?
Rush Adventure is similar. He researched the Power of the Stars deep in the core, and dimension hopped Eggman. Note: he didn't need either emeralds to do this
Rivals is where he seems..."annoyed"
Bare in mind, he does know Sonic (to where he disguised himself to trick him), so this takes place after Rush
Incidentally both games, Sonic and Tails don't find out it's Nega. Just a funny note
Sonic Channel later also added a bio for him expressing disgust at Eggman's "failures" to excuse his own. Interestingly, it also implies Eggman Nega isn't his real name...
So in terms of Canon Order...
Rush > Rush Adventure > Rivals > Rivals 2
06 can be before or after Rush Adventure, but it has to be before Rivals 1, and after Rush
For Nega, what likely happened was this
He at first takes refuge and hides in Blazes dimension out of shame of Eggman losing to Sonic repeatedly in history, even hiding his true name. Being power hungry, he comes across the Sol Emeralds, and realizes he can link back to his original dimension and "influence" Eggman to succeed. He lies of his status of being native to Blaze's Dimension at first, though his failures in Rush and Rush Adventure makes him more self destructive, to the point of just ditching Blaze's dimension entirely to destroy Eggman in the original. At that point Silver's more aware given Nega's now directly trying to destroy his world
Bonus
The Olympic games note there's only one. It gets the order wrong though, but then the Olympics events aren't canon to either franchise
Long story short, 1 Nega, play all games, he has tech to dimension hop and time travel to make it all possible
