Griffith Observatory, 2000. First sunrise. (from my au)

useless trivia/explanations below ↓

Neil gets out of prison June 14 and this is the morning after, June 15. It was a Thursday and the sun rose at 05:42.

Neil has to get in touch with his parole officer that day, meeting upon which he'll get his nightime curfew; meaning that morning was pretty much his only chance to go out this early (5 or so am...) for a while.

Griffith Observatory is, well, an observatory in LA. You get a pretty nice view of the city from up there. The building itself may be closed that early but you can still get to wherever they are.

The reason Vincent went to that place "more than once in the past few years" is not because he likes it or whatever, it's because Neil told him (in ~96) that he used to go there sometimes for the view (for the lights). So Vincent went too (just to see what it was like, and not at all to feel closer to Neil)

Vincent drives a custom 1992 Ford Crown Victoria, custom as in custom wheels + chrome trims painted in black (...) (...of course). License plate is 3GQD942 (and this is all movie-canon).

They go for food after, a "Hey, this time I'll buy you breakfast on top of coffee" type of thing (said like a joke by a voice that can barely believe it)

Title is written with Cinetype from Grilli Type, a caracter that is "based on a design engineered for a cinema subtitling machine. By using a laser to erase the color layer of the film, very small and brilliantly white letters appear. The laser can only move in straight lines, so the typeface contains no curves." Then Arial for the subtitles (much more neutral, which is what, imo, subtitles should be).

This was my October project, so I guess... It's done. Thanks for reading.

(ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Little announcement for anyone interested in Vincent/Neil stuff

This is the first image out of a series of 17 (and a half).

It's one particular moment of my Heat AU, and this particular comic/thing/whatever has been my October project - now it's about 95% done, so I'm excited to finally show it lol. tbh it's kind of a test for the format/length as I have more in mind, but let's start with that.

I'm posting the whole thing the last day of the month. See ya then!

i am the quivering autumn branches

shedding their armor,

dropping their defenses,

allowing their adornments to

brown,

curl,

free-fall down into the earth.

i am choosing nakedness

despite the cold -

my pink skin stark

against the endless white.

i am embracing my own

becoming.

Cartoonist Kim Jung Gi has died of a “sudden” heart attack aged 47.

The South Korean artist was known for his ability to recreate complex scenes entirely from memory and holds the Guinness World Record for “longest drawing by an individual”.

In a statement shared on Wednesday (5 October), collaborator Hyun Jin Kim announced that the artist had died on Monday (3 October) in Paris.

“It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we inform you of the sudden passing of Kim Jung Gi,” he wrote.

“After finishing his last schedule in Europe, Jung Gi went to the airport to fly to New York, where he experienced chest pains and was taken to a nearby hospital for surgery, but sadly passed away.”

Hyun continued: “After having done so much for us, you can now put down your brushes. Thank you Jung Gi.”

I'd love to see you create a doodle of the scene where Vito hears of Sonny's death from Tom.

I love this scene. ACTEURS

oh, Vincent. Did you think there'd be no consequences? Whose bed do you weep on now?

Happy birthday John Cazale!!

an inventory of neil's tattoos, plural:

Because when you remove his clothes he's not so anonymous anymore. brought to you by @shane-moriarty and @p4x-639

In the scene where Neil leaves Eady in the middle of the night (like a thief), we can see 4 (4!!) tattoos, very briefly. In this here brightened image, there are the two most visibles on his left and right shoulder:

Sadly number 1 on his right arm/shoulder is pretty mysterious and we don't get more than this:

so we can guess its size but not really more than that. Too bad.

On his left shoulder though, there's his more visible tattoo, number 2, the one we usually remember. I nuked some images, and since we know (from michael mann) that Neil was in the army, we can make the link between his tattoo and a common US marine corps tat:

details still aren't great but it's the most probable option, so i'll go with that.

now?? on that top left frame, you can vaguely see some black pixels on neil's back. and that's yes indeed tat n°3. Just like number 1 though, we don't really see a lot of it:

yeah we can't see shit. too bad there isn't another scene with neil shirtless, like, say, a sex scene with al pacino, that way we could've gotten more pics... but well.

onto tattoo n°4, the vaguest but also most intriguing one:

so depending on which frame i nuke i get different results. wild stuff.

but it's either a coat hanger (yes: neil is an abortion right activist), which as a jail tat can apparently mean freedom from an enclosed space (makes sense), or it's 2 black bands, which can be strength and courage or loss (could make sense). Pick your favorite i guess?

since you are the master of all things michael mann, @power-chords, i'd be very curious to know what you think about what i see as a surprising amount of tattoos and about this coat hanger/black band thing? If there is anything to say about it at all lol.
