Just saw this Jimmy skin for the first time from back when he could still experience joy and whimsy and uh yeah I can't blame anyone for having any parental instincts towards him (looks at myself and my moots and Doc)
Inspired by @hollowflight-propaganda's poll, I've made a playlist with an archive of all the official WoF Scholastic videos! Including book trailers, Tui T. Sutherland tidbits, and that one time they posed the entirety of A Guide to the Dragon World before it was fully released!! If I've missed any videos do let me know! Or if there are any non-scholastic official book trailers I'd also love to see them & add them to the playlist!!!
Link to the Playlist!!
+ the playlist is organized in chronological order . if somethings amiss with that do let me know & I'll update it properly !
I loooove so much about the whole concept of modern retro-style games but I could go on and on for ages about how much potential and variety devs are missing out on trying... and what they fail at as well, to the point where tons of “PS1 style” games instead now just look like “itch.io indie 3D style” to me... old games had SO MUCH variety and ohh it ITCHES me to see people keep reusing the same ideas over and over even when those ideas are good ones, because even then there’s stuff they leave out...!
i don't like posting my own timelapse videos because they highlight a major flaw in my work flow: i'm literally just winging it... here's six minutes of my process, and here's the finished art. it's kinda funny how i struggled to make up my mind, but i really like how it came out.
My pleasure comes from your pleasure and I aim to please.
And careful of too much praise there 🌹, I may get a little too eager to prove my loyalty~

exactly!! now you're getting it 💕💕 But of course, that doesn't mean you can't show off from time to time! my favourite tools have to be kept sharp after all! especially if I get to see you prove your loyalty:))
Don't think I'd leave Gelato out by his lonesome, now! The Arcana is the means by which all is revealed...
For him, I'll give him...
The devil. I "draw" the Devil Arcana.
While upright, it represents violence, commitment, temptation, chained to base desires, and drive. Reversed, it symbolizes blindness, childishness, and feebleness.
We have slightly more info on him than his husband, and this little piece is the fateful piece that started it all. This one was easiest to dissect together.
According to Nero, he's motivated by money, at least to where he'd show up for meetings to get his share. And in the updated graphic in the same episode, he's the one with the scowl on his face while Gelato held the payment. It's very realistic that the idea of scoring more $ from the hated boss was so tempting, he jumped at the first not-opportunity. Diavolo's name directly translates to "devil", further signaling a motif of the devil tempting the sinful. And in his case, there wasn't even a reward when he took the bait, apart from death.
His efforts came undone, putting himself, his husband, and later his closest friends on the chopping block, his execution signifying their fates coming undone. However, even Sorbet's brief appearance showcased the reversed Devil.
Blinded to the worst case scenario, he flew too close to the sun, and was rendered pathetic in his last moments. He couldn't even see his husband die. He acted on impulse, and NOW SEE WHAT HAPPENED! He could only watch as his life withered away under the knife.
He is, as mentioned before on his husband's post, usually the touchier one, on a much lighter note, showing his tempting to probably make love with him right then and there. The two insisted on doing every mission together, were they not? Could ya really blame Illuso (implied to have spied on the two having sex before) for thinking that with the little info we got on them?
Additionally, even in the Persona side of things, those under the Devil card of supports are more harsh. You usually see Sorbet as such in fanworks. And I do ascribe to... certain ideals but I have a huge soft spot for a secretly really anxious Sorbet, puhuhuhuh... He seems to be the moon to Gelato's sun, get it? And his shark fin ass hair reminds one of a horn.
With this, his Arcana is the Devil. Have we learned nothing from Cuphead?
"I am thou, thou art I
Thou hast turned a vow into a blood oath.
Thy bond shall become the wings of rebellion
and break the yoke of thy heart.
Thou hast awakened to the ultimate secret
of the Devil, granting thee infinite power..."
