wait maybe this is dumb and i'm dumb for suggesting it, but if orion and megatron were both miners/workers, and if miners were treated/viewed anything like how they were in idw1, maybe the the ability to transform isn't considered a birthright

maybe there's tcog harvesting going on idk i just thought of this on a whim

i thought i posted the second one, but apparently i didn't. i use some of the existing shots in the anime to practice copying a pose as closely as possible just by looking at it. good practice while drawing something i enjoy lol (figure drawing if it locked rhe fuck in )

SPOILERS FOR BRAVERN EP 12 BELOW

What made me cry the absolute hardest in this episode is realising that Superbia died in a posture that could still provide Lulu with cover in the battlefield.

His arms are splayed out, not as if to catch himself, but like he's making a half-circle with his arms.

We later see Lulu in this scene take cover behind Superbia's curved arm, his hand open and on it's side to make a wall/shield.

Even in his moment of death, he thought about how he could still protect Lulu.

He died in an honourable way that fulfilled his desire to die pridefully; Proud of his efforts against Ira, and proud of Lulu for continuing to live-- He had faith and trust in her to know to use his body, to keep fighting even despite the grief.

I think he didn't crystallise when he died like the other Death Drives because he had felt the connection of courage and love via Lulu. He had something to anchor himself to the world physically.

He may have lost his outright desire to die, but accepted it in the end anyway.

His desire to go on protecting Lulu and helping her to continue the fight overruled his original death drive; His pride for Lulu overruled his desire to seek his own prideful end, and as a result, he was able to achieve both of his desires:

Die with his pride intact, in a respectable way, and to continue to assist Lulu for as long as possible.

He knew he would die. He ejected Lulu immediately, specifically to prevent Ira's killing blow from cutting through her pilot pod inside of his chest.

So, he didn't crystallise even though he achieved his desired death, because he still had something to live for.

It was no longer about the satisfaction of dying with his pride, but it was about the satisfaction of seeing through Lulu's goal of saving the world -- In an earlier episode, when he and Lulu successfully merge, he says something to the effect of "your desires are now mine".

I just really fucking love Superbia and this show hit me right in the fucking heart.

YIPPEE thanks for participating!

if order wins it's a gamble on whether i paint overlorder or smollusk lol. if you choose a salmonid, tag the one you want to see! like my side order post, i might do more than one painting. including side order spoiler tag juuuuust to be safe

[forged-cold]

they don't even look all that alike but if i think of one, i think of the other

no talk me i'm angy

sona i guess

lastly, in order to even get to this point i ended up doing a sloppy and informal analysis of splatoon's style to try to blend it effectively with my own. there are elements of the official art style that i wanted to keep, which is why i approached noses a little differently this time lol

i included the breakdowns in case people might find them helpful if they're still in the process of finding out how they want to construct these characters. i know this kind of thing helps me a lot when other artists do it

#splatoon #inkling

YOU GET IT YOU LITWRALLY GET IT

listen i think it's kind of cute that two of the side order middle bosses sing songs we know. even though the memverse didn't really come out the way marina intended, there's something to be said for how her influence persisted. it also makes it feel like these creatures that are essentially computer programs are alive in the same way order is

i'd like to think that all the bosses come to view 8's presence similarly to how order does; invader at first, play partner later lol. we'll never know

i dunno what to paint next so maybe i'll paint the ball

sorry i can't turn the splatoon brainrot off
