I think this message might be what gave me the idea for that scene in Gravitational Equations For Falling, where Megamind is fidgeting in his prison chair, moving his hands like he’s going through guitar chords. I really like the idea of him being casually good at music!
Megamind has achieved proficiency in probably all the basic rock band instruments plus a few others, and built a synthesizer when he was a boy in prison, but he is too distractable to stay in practice.
I would also imagine him being someone who can proficiently play written music, follow along with other musicians well – but tends to be a bit of a disaster creating his own music. He’d get so many ideas in his head, and the initial attempts would just be a literal mess of them all thrown together without a proper structure.
If he’d sit and work on it, he’d be able to tame the capcophany, but usually he’s too distracted by more pressing matters to bother overcoming the initial distaste of the first results and spending the time.
That being said, he is AMAZING at guitar and bass rock solos. All this time absorbing all the classics, having a fundamental knowledge of the cords, and having the overall structure of the base song to work off of – THAT is when his knack for improvisation really can shine.
–and the supervillain who regularly kidnaps you is circling you in his wheel-y chair and you’re exchanging snarky banter and it’s all pretty much business as usual until you lean forward to give emphasis to your next sarcastic remark
at the exact same moment
that heleans forward–
(because he thinks it makes him look more menacing)
(it doesn’t),
and…
(fuck)
(shit)
(FUCK)
…and you’re both just sort of sitting there frozen
…not moving
….not moving
–oh god what the fuck do you do–
–and your stomach is doing that stupid swooping thing it does sometimes when he stands too close and your heart is beating way too fast, fluttering against your sternum and you can feel yourself blushing because–
–okay, maybe you’ve got a thing for black leatherand
–okay, maybe you’ve got a thing for nerdsand
–ohfuckingkay, maybe you’ve actually got a huge thing
This really reminds me of Megamind, for several reasons. First off, the dress. I mean, look at it! It’s blue and black! Second, the feeling of drama and villainy surrounding the whole thing. And then there’s the fact that he touches her neck twice, and her neck and shoulders are bare, always makes me think of how filthy it is because of @setepenre-set, seriously. I’m going to have to make a fic, this is too good to resist.
(Okay, tell me this – is it weird that the more I see him, the more attractive I find him?!)
Ok, but an AU where the storyline branches from here. Like, he says that, and Roxanne is all flustered by it and forgets about the really big gun, and he’s all like… Bernard jig is up, I’m just going for it.
I should have tagged @setepenre-set because they are much better with story-ing than I am.
Ok sooooooo here is Megamind and Roxanne drawn in more realistic way.
I don’t think Megamind would be too thin, I assume he’d be slimmer than the average male, but about the same size in the shoulders. It’s harder to figure out what size his head would be. I wonder if someone ever did the research. Also Roxanne’s hips are probably should be wider but w/e.
Dean has nagged me for years to do Inktober, so here it is, Day 1 of sweet revenge. I’m doing PINKTOBER, get ready for 30 more days of pink, passionate, pure cheesy couples!
First up is Megamind, because I’ve rewatched it a couple (okay more than a couple) times recently and I’m astounded by how good the expressions are in this film. And the BLUSHING. Mm, mm, mm.
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying @setepenre-set‘s fics based on Roxanne and Megamind, too, so hopefully they’ll see this and know how much I’ve enjoyed em!
I’ll try to recommend some interesting reading to go with each of my pinktober pieces, so check back tomorrow for Day 2.
