She looks like a femme fatale from the cover of a noir detective story! It’s so cool!
I love her pose; the line of her body falls in a graceful backwards S curve, from the direction of her tilted head to her popped hip to her bare thigh.
It’s a very sinuous, very sexy pose, and the way it’s so dramatic gives the piece a sense of danger—she’s poised right on the edge of movement. She is danger held just barely in check. And the upraised gun adds to that impression of potential danger ready to erupt—she’s not aiming the gun, not yet, but she holds the gun in readiness, her eyes narrowed and slanted in the direction of whatever it is she is deciding whether or not to shoot.
I love the way her earrings are swinging to the side; it’s such a great detail, and really adds to the sense of movement and precariousness.
She looks beautiful, too; her hair perfect, her expression gorgeously dangerous. And I really enjoy the style of her gown; it suits her body so well.
Look who found the perfect song for Temptress! Roxanne!
and to think it comes from Wander over Yonder XD
Ahhh she looks so good! I love her sexy/dangerous expression—her cruelly arched eyebrows, and her half-lidded eyes with the red eyeshadow, and the way her mouth curls up at the corners! And her very sassy popped hip!
I really like her outfit, too, the red boots and leotard, and the way the cape goes from black to red and frames her bare shoulders.
The lyrics also pair very well with the series of images. And the slow reveal of her is really well done and very sexy—first just the boot, and then her back (with just the slightest bit of her hip peeking provocatively out from behind her cape!), and then her shoulder and lips in profile, and then finally we see the Temptress revealed!
I do feel bad for plants in general. Like, I know they are often as vicious as animals in many ways, just slower. But, I mean, they just show up and they’re like, “I Think I Will Evolve To Eat The Sun And Also Make Oxygen And How Now Is All This.” And, like, everything fucking dies at first (totally not plants fault, btw. okay maybe it was but they didn’t mean to) but then new things evolve. And they’re like, “Fuck it, eating each other suuuucks. Let’s eat the plants which give us life.” And so we start doing that. And plants are all, “Oh Dear No, I Do Not Care At All For Being Eaten. I Will Make Myself Into Poison Sometimes.” But, y’know, stuff kept eating plants anyway so plants, ever the bro, came up with a new idea. “I Have Made A Decision About Being Eaten And You May Eat Me Friends And Here Is An Especially Tasty Bit Packed All Full of Delicious Sugars Which I Have Produced At Great Cost (What They Do Not Know Is That My Seeds Are Within And Shall Be Propagated Near And Far By Their Dung)“ But that’s not good enough for animals, no, not at all. We love the fuck out of some pomegranates but also alliums which are like, “I Have Not Decided To Go In For This Being Eaten Business. I Shall Be Very Foul Tasting And Also A Poison.” But no, sorry, onions, you fucked up. You accidentally wound up with a species that just doesn’t give up or fully comprehend the idea of things tasting “”‘bad’“’ or other concepts like not eating poison. (Sorry, plants, later we turn some of you who are not poison into a poison we consume recreationally. We really enjoy eating poison.) Legit, alliums are deadly to, like, every other species. And we call them aromatics and throw them in everything. Peppers are the best, though. They completely got on the being eaten train. BUT ONLY BIRDS Peppers are like, “You May Eat Me, Fair Avian, For You Are Sure To Spread Me A Great Distance. But, Mammal, Take HEED. Should You Eat Me Then I Will Burn You Most Terribly.” And we were all about that. “The FUCK, burning? I love pain,” said humans, presumably. “You know, peppers, you and evolution have done a good job at burning us but I am pretty sure we could make your chemical agony even more potent. Come hang with us,” humans added to a very confused pepper just before creating the ghost chili.
@setepenre-set Temptress Roxanne, post-fic, very drunk, to a highly amused Megamind.
Did you just… Evil Monologue to me about the virtues and evolutionary innocence of plants?
