Rewatched The Great Mouse Detective. Whole Time I Was Thinking ‘damn Ratigan Really Is Just Like 800

Hey, used to have a tumblr account called cometgoddess-stuff that I couldn't access for years now, so I finally made a new account as you can see.. might make a separate account just for art unless AI is also extremely bad here as well, had to delete my art Twitter account because of that

Yep I'm gonna post art in here and making this a 18+ space, if you don't like that, you can unfollow if you like but if you're underage and following, I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to block you

Meanwhile I'll be posting art soon, probably repost old art first like usual o3o

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

Has anybody made a height estimation for the Boggans and Leafmen in Epic 2013?

Because Im close to doing my own research fo figure it out

The leafmen are smaller than hummingbirds, but noted to be two inches tall

But mice are huge and taller than them

Mandrake wears a bat hide but rides a grackle

Dagda wears a rat but rides a grackle

But a bee is still as big as their shoulders

If somebody’s done this, @ them to me!

i want to talk about this idea the fandom has that curly didn't do anything to help anya. the fact of the matter is, curly didn't do anything to help anya on screen.

when we first join the conversation, anya's already told curly about the assault and is just updating him on her pregnancy status. we're never privy to what that first conversation looked like, what anya said or how curly responded or what decisions were made about it. but given that anya confided in him twice more about the situation (that she was pregnant and later that she had told jimmy), i have to assume his response to the initial assault disclosure was sufficient enough in her eyes that she knew she could continue confiding in him.

this exchange reads to me like "what to do about the assault" has been an on-going conversation between them, but curly has limited options to help her. but if he could figure out something to do, he'd do it.

let's look at the options available:

report it to HR. i don't think this option is very viable for a few reasons:

first, pony express doesn't seem to care about its employees. there aren't locks on their bedroom doors, there's only enough food and oxygen to get them from port to port with no emergency allotment, there are more crew than cryopods, they're not allowed to sleep for more than 5 hours a night, etc. i don't think they would have done anything to support her even if they had reported it.

HR may even blame anya for the assault, they may say that it happened because of something she did or did not do. it's her responsibility to take, not theirs.

second:

(thank you to @mudstoneabyss for pointing this one out to me)

curly needs this money because he's considering changing careers, which is likely to result in a pay cut or some amount of time job-hunting without income. swansea has a family back home he needs to provide for. it's daisuke's first year on the job and what a piss-poor welcome a pay cut would be, and he's an intern so the pay cut may be all or most of his salary. jimmy is living in poverty. anya has no savings.

it's entirely possible anya asked curly not to file an HR complaint not only because it would make her financial situation worse, but because she doesn't want to ask him, swansea, and daisuke to literally pay for jimmy's actions.

third:

even if curly did file an HR report he may have been told to do nothing. it's a long trip and they need all hands on deck to make the delivery on time! productivity over employee welfare. it's his job to keep the peace but keep jimmy working.

given how much stress curly's shown to be under, it can be assumed being captain is an extremely taxing job with a lot of both assigned duties and off-book duties. it may not actually be feasible to run the ship without a co-pilot.

maybe all he could do was talk to him.

2. go to the police. are there even police in space? i have to assume so because the alternative poses way too many questions. so there's space police. curly and anya call them and they come to the tulpar and dock on the ship and do an investigation and what happens to that limited food and air supply? the late delivery fee?

i'm a psychologist and my first psychology job was working as a crisis counselor for my county. my primary job was to sit with rape survivors as they had their rape kits done and support them as they made their reports to the police. this may not be true everywhere or across the board or in this dystopia but in my experience the police won't take a rape case seriously, or will have limited options to prosecute, or maybe won't even take the case at all without a rape kit.

so curly and anya call the police. they're going to have to file with HR too, to let the company know what's going on. and now anya has to pay for an HR complaint, a late delivery, and a rape kit.

is she going to get this paycheck at all?

3. curly acts on his own accord. this is the one that makes the least amount of sense to me, personally.

if curly just beats the shit out of jimmy then what? now jimmy's mad and embarrassed and takes it out on anya. we're going to confront him and risk making her suffering worse?

curly can't lock jimmy in his quarters for the duration of the trip not only because, as i said, maybe having a co-pilot is necessary for the ship to operate, but there are not locks on the doors.

curly can't lock him in the cargo hold because a) pony express would probably be beyond pissed off about that and who knows if the crew's pay would get docked or curly would get fired or if dragonbreath would sue them all for property damage and contamination. b) how do we get food and water to him? let him go to the bathroom? we open the doors and he busts out and who knows how violent he'll be then.

curly isn't going to kill him because a) that's one of his oldest friends, and i don't care what he's done or how angry curly is or how badly he wants to help anya, i really don't think it's realistic to think he'd be able to separate the anger from the love enough to end his life. b) it's cold-blooded, premeditated murder. it'd be one thing if curly caught jimmy in the act and killed him in defense of anya, he could maybe get away with that. but after the event is over? curly's going to jail for that, possibly for the rest of his life. if you worked at the post office and a coworker told you your best friend since childhood raped her are you clocking out and going to his house and killing him? it's not reasonable. i'm also just really floored how often i've seen this option brought up on the "prison reform abolish the police no matter how bad you are you still deserve human rights" website.

i also don't think it's reasonable, realistic, or kind to ask curly to act on his own accord without consulting anya. for curly to go against her wishes or act without her consent, that's further taking agency away from her. that's another man deciding what happens in her life. even if curly wanted to beat jimmy up or lock him away or kill him, maybe anya asked him not to.

so i ask, what was curly supposed to do? what did he and anya explore as options? what did anya ask him to do? we don't know and we'll never know. and that was intentional on wrong organ's part.

i don't say any of this to discount or discredit conversations or explorations or analyses about the role The Boys Club, toxic masculinity, and bro culture play into the plot, themes, narrative, or personal take-away players have. i fully 100% agree with, support, and endorse those narrative because despite everything i just said above, it's also true that curly is partially responsible.

it's true that he was irresponsible and an enabler for helping jimmy cheat on his psych exam, but there's no evidence at all that he's a conspirator to sexual assault and abuse, that he was going to cover for jimmy in a court of law. all he said was they would figure it out, and that could mean a whole lot of things.

i think curly has some percentage of the blame for what happened on the tulpar, i just don't think that percentage is as large of a number as a lot of people seem to believe. i'm not asking that we forgive or apologize or absolve curly, what i am asking is that we try to look at the situation with more nuance and empathy and good faith.

i don't think curly was a bad man or a bro who was ignoring anya and covering for jimmy's actions. but i also don't think he did enough to help her. he was never good at seeing the small details amongst the larger picture. he couldn't see jimmy for the dead pixel he was.

i think curly was sleep deprived, possibly under-fed, definitely overworked, and juggling too many balls with not enough options. i think he made the wrong choice, but i think he thought it was the lesser of the evils.

katsuki bakugo keeps his relationship a secret, not ‘cause he’s embarrassed or anything. nah, he actually thinks his girl is the best thing to ever exist, straight-up worships the ground she walks on. but sneaking around? now that’s the fun part. the stolen kisses in empty classrooms, the quick but intense eye contact when they’re with their friends, the casual little touches, a high five that lasts too long, a sneaky hand squeeze just ‘cause he can.

but when everyone finally finds out? yeah, he’s done pretending. bakugo makes it so obvious. he’s always got flowers for her, keeps her fave snacks on him at all times, kisses her slow and soft before every challenge, promising he’ll come back in one piece. ‘cause now that the world knows? He wants them to get one thing straight - she’s his, and he’s hers, and he’s never letting anyone forget it.

Golems And Summons

"There will always be a distinct difference between sentience, and subordinance, one thinks and chooses to do as it does, while the other is challenged, ordered, to do an only purpose.-" -Nadalia Dunes

(yes even the bluff is here)

The constructs of all dimensions.

Golem: "a construct made with soul source."

Golems are made of a small source of soul and constructed in a physical body of varying material. Being embued with soul, the golem in question is given the ability to think, to feel.

The more soul a golem is given, the more it's able to communicate, adapt, and thrive. for example if a golem is not given enough soul source, it will act akin to a child, while a golem with a high amount of soul source, it will be connected to the soul it imbues, taking on traits and even a voice if it lives long enough.

"-With these differences however, my son, they both share one factor, the unmovable loyalty that comes with the construction of a golem." -Nadalia Dunes

On unfortunate but bittersweet circumstances, a golem may lose it's creator, but will grow and in turn embody the creator in personality. and may even take on a nomadic life, living as another being in the according dimension. it will make a name, a life, find love, but will never die. it cannot die, for it is not alive to begin with.

Beings of Unlimited Power but Limited Choices.

Such beings are a marvel to see in the wild, like an bluff or a breeze, but to see a summon appear infront of your eyes can be a whole new form of experience. depending on the element you wish for your summon to embody, it will await one command, and it will never stray of it's path.

(yes born in chaos is in this world >:3)

Allays are one of the only summons that have no known creator, ledgend says that they were made by the hosts themselves, to inspire and give hope to all who see their visage. Though in a mysterious form of spite, the spell that the Umevande made was to go against the very nature of the allay, becoming a vessel of discord and destruction known as a Vex.

Vexes and Allays are tricky in nature, but one seeks to do more harm then good.. on the behalf of the vex's summoner.

The Halfbreed Who Gained What He Lost

Charismatic, Charming, and Surprisingly arrogant in a naïve way.

by @amandakilljoy

Nash's story starts off as a child who was seemingly human at first, but his adoptive mother, Nadalia, took notice that he was a halfbreed, crossed between Hjaellin and Levande blood, as he grew he was taught certain trades, golem repair, leatherworking, and cobbling, but he was never taught to fight due to the peaceful lifestyle Levende are accustomed to.

This would unfortunately lead to the loss of his village. at the age of 15 he experiences his first raid, and through the carnage he was stowed away by Nadalia in a wine cellar. when the raid was over, the village was nothing but rubble, like a tornado had taken the village. The only remnants of his village was his blanket and two golems he was able to repair. one day after Nash fell to heat exhaustion and his golem friends could do nothing to help, soon guardsmen on horseback find the boy in the sand, being protected by the golems. They would tend to the boy, bring him in and make him a fresh guardsman.

Learning the art of dueling blades and horseback combat, he would show himself to be a proper trained fighter. he's now 18 (this is where abigore meets Nash btw) Nash was posted at a village with seemingly no status at the time, hardly any illagers nor husks try to attack due to it's small size, it was known as Fermin, but when Nash had his second day as guardman for the village, illagers stormed the small village, one illager with a horned helm fought valiantly, but slopy, causing his defeat in the end, he retreats with only a half of his men, and after that, Nash slowly making fermona his home, using his training from the guardsmen to protect his family, and his adoptive fathers, Doris the armorer and Phospherous the mason slowly over time the population of Fermin started to grow exponentially, and more guardsmen were posted at the now new city, Fermona, the emerald apple, where illager, villager, and human kind, live peacefully.

The Change For The Better

Nash, now in his 20s was slowly becoming the head hero of the village (a simple title just given to him by the home he protects), and when Phospherous and Dorris heard of this, they wanted to make something special for him, gauntlets what were embued the power to control the stone beneath his feet, they knew that Nash had a connection to the earth element due to his spirit and kind nature.

Nash used these gauntlets to materialize stone swords whenever he needed them, it was even better then the iron swords he kept as gifts from the guardsmen.

On the day that Fermona felt the most safe, a mysterious stranger known as The Cloak summoned the undead in the middle of the town square, causing a riot, Nash defeated the cloak, had them arrested, never to be seen again. but this made Nash feel unsafe, knowing there were users of magic that would wish to cause harm, he felt like he had to get stronger.

His fathers helped removed the stones from his gauntlets and forged them into a staff and so he heads off to the color country, stavustrand, and on the coast of the continent was a city known as Oaksend, it was the home of the most prestigious magic school the the west side of the world he stayed there for 15 years, learning geomancy and the magic's before it, turning him now into a geomancer. by @atenman

Over the course of the semester he was shortly wedded to the empire's royal guard captain, Ragna Norisen (@cometgoddess) Character by @cometgoddess

Art by @atenman

unfortunately Nash would have grave news come to him, in a form of an encrypted note with coordinates, it was from Abigore Melbourne, and he was seeking revenge more then ever. when he arrived he was kidnapped by Abigore and brutally battered by the barbarians. before Abigore prepperd to lay the final blow, ragna and the royal guard save the geomancer, sinking the illager general. Shortly after the whole ordeal, they would take the time to grow a happy family With Ragna bringing a boy and a girl into the world, Gloria and Maurice Dunes, they along with ragna are the reason why Nash fights for a free world.

By @cometgoddess

On the day of the final fight between Abigore and Nash, the geomancer was forced to push his magic to it's limits, he would use the earth underhim to make a powerful and sturdy armor to rival the Heart of Wrath (Abigore's final form)
