Subscribing To A Fic Isn’t Enough I Need The Author To Blast A Bat Signal Into The Night Sky Whenever

Holland March <3

3:10 to Yuma

3:10 to Yuma (2007) needs more fics, or AUs, or fanart, it's an amazing film that goes over how grey the old west was rather than the dramatic black and white lenses we saw it through because of stereotypes and western films.

It goes over morals and values, we see this brought up when Wade mentions that Butterfield didn't even call attention to how many lives he took but rather talked about how much money he stole. Wade also mentions how McElroy has murdered like Wade before, and yet Bryon McElroy considers himself better, constantly shoving his faith into conversations as if to prove he is a good man when he never was.

The movie is like a coming of age story for William, a young 14 year old boy who is the son of Dan Evans, he sees his father's loyalty to God and his devotion to justice and how it's led to men like Hollander (the town banker and a saloon owner) to walk all over him. But by the end of the film his father became a brave man who had conquered one of the most wanted men in the west.

Daniel/Dan Evans is one of the main characters, through the film we see his achievements and his failures, we see his loyalty to his religion, how his family shares the same morals. More importantly we see the devastation in his family, lacking money for rent, for food, for anything. We see Dan face his sons despite their disappointment, we see him face his wife despite her lack of love. How poverty has strained the relationship between him and his wife, between him and his oldest son William, and even starting to disconnect him and his youngest son.

Ben Wade is an outlaw in the West, who had been abandoned by his parents and says he thinks doing good deeds might be "habit forming." He points out the flaws of each person he interacts with and seems to have a strong mindset of how the world around him is corrupt, only to have his view tested upon meeting Dan Evans.

Wade and Evans' dynamic is strong and well written out, they tell stories of their past to one another, they talk about morals and throughout the story get to know one another. Even briefly working together twice. At the end of the story, we can even see Wade almost shed a tear for Dan Evans.

Overall I think it's a good film with amazing story telling.

My take on Sonic 4 stobotnik bingo:

I don't care if all of these are WAAAYYY delusional from fucking dulululand 😭 let a girl dream

Be back for this in two years...

March is badly drawn cause he was drawn second and I don't typically draw much in a day, if I ever draw. And he's also not my favorite character so I ain't putting all that effort into him.

Man, Fuck Birthdays!

Sometimes it's the worst day of the year.

(I ain't really use watercolor often, I've only used it three times including this sketch or something.)

Drawing of Jimmy and Curly gone broke from crypto investment because I can
