[homosexualtransexual]

okay i was thinking about this meme earlier and it really ground my gears bc its like... not true?

like first of all ik this is a little hyperbole and Not Exact but i still wanna talk about it a lil.

so like first of all the concept art i think this is based off is very early when elsa was the villain and looked a lot different to anna and anna looked the same but her silhouette was different

and it does look cool and i do love it but this doesn't fit the direction the film went it so they changed it.

and you wanna know what much later concept art looked like?

kinda exactly like the film. bc the concept art changes. and its the same for other disney films.

here's some tarzan early concept art vs the later ones

the beast looks like a completely different species here than the completely different species he is in the later ones.

and like ik the frozen one is more dramatic of a change but the point is they all change for reasons and so does the plot and the actors and the script and everything changes.

but also like idk if Frozen is the film you wanna go for when you're talking about boring character design. so lets go through elsa and anna's journeys (just frozen 1 bc its 3am and im tired i just can't sleep until i finish this rant).

so the first time we see elsa and anna are at 7 and 5 years old respectively. as you can see, they both wear clothes simmilar to clothes theyre gonna wear later in the film. elsas clothes, hair, and colour scheme are very similar to what she transforms into at the end of let it go: hair braided and a very simple light blue dress. anna's look reflects her at elsa's coronation: a green dress with her hair tied back.

if we look at elsa at her coronation, it's very different from what she wears from the rest of the film. it's still got shades of blue, but they're all much darker and it contains 2 colours she will never wear again in the enterity of the franchise, let alone the film: black and purple. it's also the only time that she wears something that covers her from neck to toe. in addition, her hair is pinned up. to me this represents her repression of her power at the fear that she can't use them or she'll hurt someone or worse: anna.

lets move on to what anna wears at the coronation. its like a final evolution of the same dress she's been wearing the whole time. this shows that she hasn't really had to repress and can continue being her true self at the coronation. im gonna move on quickly because theres something more exciting that happens to anna's look very quickly

SHE'S WEARING A MORE CORMFORTABLE AND SLIGHTLY BLUER VERSION OF ELSA'S CORONATION DRESS! AHHH I LOVE THIS DESIGN SO MUCH EVEN HER HAIR IS DOWN HOW CAN ANYONE HATE THIS FILM'S CHARACTER DESIGN.

okay lemme calm down

its like a tactic when you're finding someone to ask yourself "what what they do?" you put yourself in their shoes and try and see things from their point of view. anyways anna is doing that with her clothes and its might be my favourite costume from the films? she wants to find elsa and help her and isn't scared of elsa even so much that she wants to be her. it's just so good. anyways moving on

THIS iconic masterpiece. what the discourse is all about. like obviously it's less extravagant than the concept art but first of all the details? the snowflakes coming up from the dress? my girl just learned how to make dresses and already made a masterpiece with ICE! but then also this is representing her being someone who she couldn't have been since she was 7! imagine that! having to repress who you are, not being able to explore yourself and your abilities because you're scared it could hurt someone. and if elsa wasn't taught to be scared of her powers she wouldnt have tried to push anna way and freezing her heart and i just went far off topic.

but anyways this is like kinda why i hate this discourse bc yeah the original wouldve looked cooler but cooler doesnt mean better for the film and i also might have a small special interest in frozen who knows

Giving you an excuse to info dump about the magical girl au all you want bc I think it’s so cool and wanna hear ur inspiration for the designs

Okay here is the info dump I promise. Also thank you for all the tags they were all very nice, and they really push me to create more :)

Normal: As I always say with his design its winx and cheerleader inspired, I already dweled on the first one in a previous post so I'm gonna skip that.

I really wanted to incorporate a star motive in his costume (thus the star top which I adore but was a pain to choose colors for), because I just think it fits him very well, he does lose some of the teenie memorabilia (without the SD for san dimas and the T's in his design) because I thought it is reminicent of his departure from the costume, yet it comes after his "trying not to be himself" phase (the third outfit) so it does bring back the previous colors.

He has teal as his main color because I really like the idea of the Oaks being green, but because ge doesn't quite fit (and because he is the new generation pc) he gets mix of blue and green which is teal (also because blue and white are the schools colors but i only found that out later).

His "trying not to be himself" costume brings in elements of the others costumes, with the chunky shoes and wings from Normal, he is trying to his friends yet pieces of himself still poje through. It has red and blue for Taylor, purple for Scary and yellow and white from Link.

I imagine this look comes after his confrontation with his dad (I want him to try to not be a magical girl for a while, like with the dance arc, and when he tries to transform after his outfit glitches and his powers malfunction, later it turns into this when fightning before he has his realization and it goes to the powerup version).

The last outfit is just his everyday (I considered drawing the teenie suit but It didn't fit on the page unfortunetly lol), I imagine he wears a lot off school merch because he still misses teenie (and yes it still very much stinks).

I think he looks the most like the classic magical girl, I really enjoy the poofy skirt because I didn't draw a lot of skirts here (it either defies logic or has shorts underneath because a skirt is not practical)

Scary: again I think I talked about the first outfit previously, I did tweak the colors and design a little bit (I struggled with the hair color a bit) but nothing very major changed.

She has purple and red (classic villian colors because she is cool and edgy). I think I started this before the betrayl but the second powerup outfit definitly happens after the reveal.

She has a lot of punk and rock influance in her outfit (and yes the platforms are impractical but they do add to the vibe). She gets cool chains but no wings. Also the prop is the Kellog knife.

Her everyday outfit is one I designed a while ago yet really like (I actually made a Scary doll and She wears the same one).

Taylor: god this was such a hassle for color choices it was terrible, just hard to draw in general and I did the Hermie powerup too many details abomination.

He gets flaiming hair like his dad, its also blue like his dad. Its definitly sailor moon inspired (I'm debating whenether Hero hates super gero Taylor or likes him, either way she does point out the sailor moon similarities either as an insult for being unoriginal or as an admiration thing because she does like sailor moon) (I just realized if I make Hero a superhero she gets the tuxedo mask inspired design for sure).

There was samurai inspiration in this (thanks Usagi chronicles you have ridden my mind) and his second outfit has a very faint flower pattent which I really like.

I think apart from power up link he has the most armor. He does get wings but they are tiny and don't really work at first but then do in his power up. Which he might get after going to hell. He does get a tail which I forgot to draw and his ears get pointer (he does also have fangs which Scary is jealous of).

He gets a staff in classical magical girl fashion (and because of his sword staff) and a katana which he does summon and do cool anime stuff with, and it does catch in flames. I really enjoy the Taylor is disabled headcanon thus the staff and i do think he has compressors in his costume.

Hermie: my boy changes designs way too aften, there is his everyday pre magic (he does get the joker stuff still).

He is a magical girl that kinda just joins the gang and is kinda a trickster, Taylor and Normal don't realize he is actually Hermie for a while (Normal doesn't know the longest) while Link and Scary know very quickly (Link is annoyed at Normal for not realizing it and it becomes a gag).

There is his 1 magical girl outfit (its practiclly the same to my previous drawings of him as nothing really changed), then there is his accident outfit (he gets it after the cheese accident), his two-face arc (also talked and shown this one previously), his after the accident everyday and then his power up.

God does it have many details, there is joker, poison ivy and two-face as inspiration in it (his hat has leaves for ivy and coins for two-face). He gets two eyes in his mask and more trickstery look in ode to his father scam. I was really inspied by court jesters and harlequins. I like how he ends up looking like a fea. Oh also question marks for riddler.

He is a silly little guy and I adore him but drawing that again will be a pain.

Link: finally my boy, after Normal he was the second finished drawing. I had a slight problem with his colors, finally picking almost white, yellow and really light green.

His norma outfit is the most practical and soccer players inspired. He gets cool lightning and angel imagery (I really enjoy his contrast with Scary with her purple and black and his yellow and white). He gets cool glowing eyes because I am a sucker for inhuman traits.

His second outfit is very palladin-y, I think the lightning kinda looks like corruption which I really enjoy, he also probablly gets it after Scary's betrayl.

There is gold and copper in his design as accents. The wing shoes were hermies inspired. He gets a glowing sword. I really enjoy some of the biblical imaginery he looks connected to.

Like I said I might honestly make more refrence sheets (I am working on kiddads designs and some other charakters, escpecially villains, but that is a bit harder for me to design so we'll see). Anyway hope this wasn't too ranty and feel free to ask anything or add ideas.

Also thank you @rooolt for giving me an excuse to infodump I am a sucker for charakter design and analysis so its very nice to rant about my choices.

#dungeons and daddies #dndads #normal oak #link li wilson #hermie the unworthy #taylor swift dndads #scary marlow #scary marlowe #dndads magical girl au #magical girls #magical girl #it was really late when i posted this yesterday so the rant is today #i really like this au and i hope i do more for it #but only time will tell #i think i might melt if people do more stuff for it

Your Boyfriend, Blue

I'm fleshing out what my YB is like since I'm rather fond of the idea everyone has a unique YB just for them. Feel free to keep reading!

Stats:

Nickname: Blue Age: 29 Pronouns: He/Him Skin Color: Blue Eye Color: Blue Hair: He has short hair!

In this universe, everyone is a 'blurbo,' which I am defining here to mean "blob-like character," where your hair/skin tend to match colors, people can be any color, and everyone is even more cartoonishly drawn than normal.

YB, himself, appears much more docile and soft, filling the role of a sub male yandere. YB in this universe is named Blue by his Y/N.

Myers-Briggs Type: ESFJ (extraverted, observant, feeling, judging) Core Traits: Warm Affection, Energetic, Detail-Orientated Flaws: Obsessive, Insecure, Hesitant Quirks: Stalker, Pop Culture Nerd, Aspiring YouTuber

While most YB are antisocial, Blue is really great at fitting in and hiding his antipathy from people around him. He knows you need people to survive, and he makes due. (In a meta sense, he was born later than his counterparts in the other universes and has seen what being a vicious asshole gets you in the end - your Y/N's hatred!)

Blue knows he has a lot of natural charisma and puts it to work. He is very extraverted and people tend to like him. Given how much practice he has put into his façade, Blue is quite good at convincing others that he likes them and he can get along with practically anyone.

Random Factoids:

(As spoken in his voice.)

"I'd have to say my favorite color is purple. Why? No reason. I just like the color." (His Y/N has purple skin in this world.)

"Mmm, favorite food, now we're talking! It's so hard to pick just one thing, you know? If I want to sound sophisticated, I should say I like something fancy, maybe something French? But, if I'm being honest with you, the minute I smell movie theater popcorn, I go feral."

"Naturally, my favorite book changes all the time, but most recently I read This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, and it's blown me away. There's just something about the way those two characters love each other... It's beautiful, and I relate to it, though I don't think I can really explain why. I heard about the book from some guy on Twitter named Bigolas Dickolas."

"So, everyone has a favorite movie, right? Really, it's more like a comfort movie. It's a movie you watch that always cheers you up or just reminds you of the best things in life. There's this silly little movie called Densha Otoko, Train Man in English. It's this Japanese flick that's supposedly based on a true story of some guy who saved a girl from being harassed on a train. He falls in love with the girl, but he's too shy to ask her out. Random people on the internet on a more wholesome version of 4ch*n basically cheer lead him into asking the girl out. Really, the whole movie is sweet. It always lifts my spirits when I see it."

"There's only four seasons, but all of them are pretty good in my opinion. Just when you get fed up with one season, the next one is just around the corner. I guess, gun to my head, I'd pick winter, but I can't really explain why that is. Winter just seems... and pardon my pun... like the coolest time of year. Everything is dark, things are dying, and honestly the cold is used to represent a lot of villains in stories. But, on the flip side, winter is when most people have a lot of holidays and get togethers and the like. Not that I experienced it for myself yet... but, I think winter might be the best season because its easier to justify snuggling up with your partner. Just thinking about pulling someone close under the blankets while you watch a cliché holiday movie... doesn't that sound like fun?"

"Dogs! I love dogs for sure. They are so loyal, you know? Supposedly if you kick a dog, it will still love you, not that I'm advocating for that, but I just think its fascinating for a creature to love so unconditionally. Maybe its weird, but I relate to that a little bit."

Well, that's all I have for now. I really like Blue a lot, so I'll probably post some more random stuff. I might even make an attempt to draw random comic stuff with him in it.

My OCs/Lovechildren of Record Of Ragnarok

So, it seems I have a new obsession: "Record of Ragnarok", or "Shuumatsu no Valkyrie". Going down the fanfictions in A03, Wattpad and Spirit, I now have a lot of ships! And, as usual to me, I ended up creating children for them -\_:v_/- and yeap, all of them born of mpreg! lol I still have to find the will to draw them, but for now I'll just write their profiles, since I've been writing a lot these last days:

Jun, Astrid and Gunnar:

17, 13 and 10 years old, respectively;

children of Lü Bu and Thor;

all of them were carried and born from Thor;

appearance: Jun is like a younger and without scars version of Lü Bu, with his long hair in a ponytail, and has Thor's yellow eyes with black sclera. Astrid has long red hair combed in two braids she keeps in front of her chest, and has yellow eyes with white sclera and a mark resembling a lightning on her face. Gunnar has short red hair and Lü Bu's eyes and pointing teeth.

Jun is the oldest, so he's responsible, serious and a great fighter. His weapon of choice is a spear;

Astrid is a viking teenager: annoyed all the time, poker face 24/7, will fight you if you look wrong at her, can break your arm in a single twist;

Gunnar is a little tasmanian devil! He can't control himself, wants to pick a fight with anybody, and likes to jump like a frog. (Why? Idk)

Thea and Nami:

14 and 9 years old, respectively;

daughters of Sasaki and Poseidon;

both carried and born from Poseidon;

appearance: Thea looks a lot like poseidon, but her hair is black, as well as her eyes. She wears a blue dress in a greek goddess style and a lot of golden jewelry. Nami is blonde and has blue eyes, and wears a blue japanese kimono.

Thea, the heir of the throne of the seas, is as snob, obnoxious, and arrogant as any princess.

Nami doesn't care about rules or anything at all, she just want to have friends. Sasaki gives her lessons with a wooden sword.

Alexander and Elizabeth:

11 and 8 years old, respectively;

children of Heracles and Jack;

both carried and born from Jack;

appearance: Alex is a mini version of Heracles, but with short spiked silver hair, and sky blue eyes. Beth has long and wavy orange hair and eyes with different colors, one red and one ice blue. They wear clothes like victorian english children.

"Alexander" means "guardian of people" or "defender of humanity", fitting to a son of Heracles. He's kind, helpful, innocent... In fact, so helpful and innocent that he forgets about himself and would be used by others if wasn't for his sister.

Elizabeth is a little british lady, with such good manners and has a special love for apple pie. She has Jack's red eye, capable to see people's emotions. She may look as innocent as her brother, but in fact, she's smarter and never let anybody uses him.

Mohan, Ravi, Neesha, Anik and Indira:

quintuplets, 9 years old;

children of Raiden and Shiva;

all carried and born from Shiva;

appearance: Mohan and Ravi have Raiden's skin color, black hair, Raiden's eyes and one pair of arms; Neesha has Shiva's purple skin, black hair, Raiden's eyes and one pair of arms; Anik has Shiva's purple skin, Raiden's hair color, Shiva's eyes (only two), and two pairs of arms; and Indira has Raiden's skin color, his hair, Shiva's eyes (all of them) and two pairs of arms.

Mohan and Ravi are the trickster twins, taking advantage of people to steal money from them and buy candy. Neesha is the shy and quiet girl, who loves art. Anik loves music and knows to play a lot of instruments. And Indira is the crazy one, the one who speaks loud and dare to fight anyone who irritates her or her siblings.

Mei-Hui:

11 years old

only daughter of Hades and Qin;

carried and born from Qin;

appearance: long and straight black hair combed in two buns and Hades' violet eyes.

cheerful, helpful without being naive, forgetful, gossip girl. Has Qin's ability to feel other's weaknesses. Loves fashion and everything that's luxurious.

Dantalion:

12 years old

only son of Nikola and Beelzebub;

carried and born from Beelzebub;

appearance: black wavy hair, blue eyes with dark circles under them, never smiles, all black clothes in the same style as Nikola's.

gloomy, depressive, genius of the group, loves more books and experiments than people and gods. Has a special and dark craving to make experiments on humans, but Nikola doesn't allow it.

I have other ships, but didn't make children for them: Adam and Eve (they already have the whole humanity as children, plus Caim and Abel), Buda and Loki (Loki already has his children, which Buda loves them as if they were his), and my crack pairing: Zeus and Odin (yeah, I know) (they're old and already have adult children).

For the good part of your art:

I love how you make color block on drawing and how pleasant you make such color to see. Not overly blended, you can clearly see where the color change and interact with other colors around it. As someone who can't look at bright colors for long you present them well enough that it doesn't irritate my eyes.

For thing that can be improved of:

I find that your designs look to have the same motifs or silhouettes to some parts of their body. Examples Borrasca and the Polycule have the motif of branches and they don't seem to be related (if they are ignore what im saying for this point.) I see that both have the same kinda leaves as well. I think it would benefit from have attached leaves or other stuff found on branches to make them more distinctive such as moss, lichen, flowers, burls, galls, ect. You could also vary the color range that these branches can grow into, currently usually blue with a light blue or standard blue. Perhaps they should end in more purple and turquoise or even bluish green would at least stay in the range of blue. I've also seen crystal growing in the same areas as other character could mix this around to other places.

For silhouette, while you are very good at doing this, I mainly looked at the hair. Specifically this drawing https://www.tumblr.com/leidensygdom/742494865737285632/and-once-the-fight-is-over-we-will-get-to-hug?source=share If you just color block the hair of Yxala and Onirist they would look the same, or at least very similar. Both have ponytail tied back, some hair in front of the ear, some hair behind the ear.

On a lighter note:

I think some of the most distinctive designs would be the clothing exchange cloths you made. They look well around the character and fit their body quite well.

I also think that Argyros is one of the most distinct design you have made. It really doesn't compare with all the other design you made, outside of a very game version of Onirist.

If there is a specific lore reason for any or all of this you can ignore it. Its just my two cents.

Oh the branch thing is definitely intentional! Relent and Borrasca are siblings, and I wanted them to have a similar aesthetic. The curse of having a lot of characters who are related I guess. Tephra also picked up these branches since she's Relent's kid lmao

For the other drawing, Yxala actually did actively try to change her hairstyle to match Uri's. She started wearing braids because of them, she gifted them the X-shaped hair piece she was using previously, that stuff. She'd be doing that with Relent too if Relé had hair and not smoke lmao

But I get you! A lot of times having related characters who do this stuff makes it harder to practise outside of it. I have to do a bunch of NPC tokens for the coming campaign, and I wanna use it to get a much wider scope of looks and such. They're gonna be busts, so I better get ready to trying very different motifs and hairstyles!

and Yeah argy is a very different kind of character. I have like so many doodles of her. she's a shapely beast. she's a creecher. i need to have more creechers

#artstyle crisis #maybe the takeaway is that i need to do more argy

← Previous Chapter | Next Chapter →

Vash lays out all his sins to you. Every piece of guilty conscience is dragged out. This makes you look at him, his expression is one of pain and shame. He tells you more details about his time on the ship, his brother Nai, and the way he was. And he explains how he was a key part of Nai's plan to crash the ships, how he felt so useless as he let Rem protect him till the very end. The vows he made to himself about protecting humanity and that he would atone for the sins of both himself and his brother. He talks more about the early days, memories he hadn't yet shared, including the one where he lost his arm.

"I too am fueled by guilt, sins heavy on my soul. I loved Rem, and I let her die, but I find her in humanity, I see her in people." He has turned his eyes onto the grass, "I would have no right to judge you, even if I thought you were a bad person for how you feel."

"You were a child, you couldn't have known what your brother was planning. You feel regret over it. You have atoned. You aren't that little boy anymore anyway, it's like you said... you've been through so much in that time, both good and bad, you've been shaped into a different person."

You scoot closer to him and place your hand over his on the grass. The dome is filled with hues of pink and gold as nightfall approaches.

"No," he sighs, "I haven't made up for this calamity until I've stopped him. He has his own plans in motion, and I can't let him hurt any more people. When the time comes, I must save Nai too."

"Well, you are Vash the Stampede," you say, handing him his coat with your other arm. "If anyone can do it, it's you."

"So you still believe in me after everything I've told you..." He takes the jacket and looks at you.

"Of course," you say in a serious manner.

"Then you should understand that I still believe in you the same way too. You aren't a bad person, in fact, you're a good one. And you have a ticket that can take you anywhere, you can be anyone you want." He stands up holding out his hand to you. "Come, I want to show you something."

You hesitate for a moment before grabbing onto his fingers and letting him pull you to your feet. He doesn't let go of your hand; instead, he adjusts in a way where he can hold on better and guides you away from the tree and closer to the flowers.

"Rem's favorite flowers were red geraniums, our biodome was filled with them, but also other red plants, it was beautiful." He takes a little path between the flowerbeds, and you see a stream of water over the tall delphiniums. Some ways to the right, you see a white bridge crossing it. Vash guides you in the opposite direction along the bank, the path is too narrow to see where he's taking you.

He steps to the left, and you see that the edge of the little stream is covered in long, pointy leaves, with blue and purple flowers reaching out from between them.

"Irises!" you exclaim, and squat down for a closer look. Some were darker, some lighter, and a few were almost white. "They are all so beautiful!"

"Yes, a fitting name in my opinion." He squats down next to you, "You get to decide who you want to be. You can try and go back to being the older versions of yourself, or you could continue to be who I know you are. Beautiful and strong, you carry your other selves with you, they are a part of you, they've made you who you are. If you want to be the you who boarded the ship, I'll accept it. Or you could be Iris... my Sweet Pea."

You look over to him, his eyes hopeful yet still with a hint of sadness.

"I see you have lost your doubts." You smile lightly.

"Yes." He smiles and tucks your hair behind your ear.

"I need time. My head is still a mess, memories broken apart, scattered in tiny little pieces. I can't make a decision now, I can't be sure."

"You can have all the time you need." He stands up and as he does, he places a kiss on your scalp. "I've made up my mind, so I don't have any doubts. I know I love you, I always have, I always will."

"Wouldn't we just hurt each other, though?" your finger tracing along a flower petal as you still squat close to it, "Wouldn't we just be plagued by worry for the rest of days?"

"Yes, but that comes from love..." he pauses. "Sometimes it is irrational, and sometimes it hurts, but the worry is affection itself. That's what I believe."

"Why won't you let me protect you?" Your voice is quiet.

"Because I don't want to see you in pain, and I know my pain brings you suffering too, but as I said... it's not always rational."

"What if you die..." the end of your sentence disappearing, too silent for Vash's ears.

"How could I ever leave you." The back of his hand gently touches your cheek. You hear a slight rustle of fabric behind you, and recognize it as Vash pulling on his coat. "Would you like to walk through the rest of the ship? Maybe more memories piece themselves together?"

You stand up and turn towards him. With a more neutral expression on his face, you realize how tired he looks, and you try to understand how much time has passed.

"When did you sleep last? How long has it been?" Your hand reaches out to his face, but then you hesitate and pull back before touching his cheek.

"We arrived yesterday, so technically two days ago on the steamer..." he says, seeming a bit embarrassed.

"I bet you didn't sleep well then either. You should go to bed!" Your voice gets insistent, a reaction you have when he starts to act in a self sacrificing manner.

"But I want to make sure you're alright." He takes half a step closer, the toes of his boots nearly touching yours as he towers above you, but you don't retreat even a millimeter, standing unwavering.

"You'll only add to my worries if you're in such a condition." You try pushing his buttons, and from his eyes, you can tell it's working. "You should go to bed. Rest, I'll need time anyway."

"Maybe we should check in on Brad, he is working on cracking open that folder you found."

"I'm not in a hurry anymore. I have enough to keep me occupied for a while. Maybe I should try sleeping myself... I won't get lost on the ship by myself, if you're worried. I think I remember most of the layout, ours was identical." You try to reassure him, "You've done so much for me. I can never repay you for what you've done... I can't even put it into words. Put yourself first now. Take care of yourself for a change."

Vash runs through the woods, he has to find you. The wide tree trunks pass him by as he runs full speed down the slope. The snow slows him down and makes him stumble over hidden roots. He sees the clearing ahead and knows it's the lake, you have to be there. If he makes it out of the woods, he will be with you. He clears the shrubbery, feeling it tug at his coat, but then he is on the shore. His eyes scan over the ice covered lake and see you gliding over it. You look so peaceful, so very graceful. You aren't wearing the warm winter clothes, it's your regular desert tracking gear, knives and all.

"You're back again, I see." A voice speaks from somewhere behind Vash, but this time he doesn't turn. "You're only going to drag her down. You had the perfect opportunity to do the right thing."

Vash doesn't want to listen, this voice is too familiar. He doesn't want to believe it. He steps onto the ice and hears hollow cracking. Lines appear like spiderwebs around where his boot is.

"How selfish are you? You will keep putting her in danger. Is that what you want?" The voice continues, "To see her constantly take bullets for you? You want her to be your damsel in distress? Is that it? A target to save, but you don't have to worry too much because even if you mess up, she'll survive."

He takes another step onto the ice, determined to get to you and not to listen to the voice. Vash shakes his head and shades his eyes with his arm to lessen the glare of the sun off the surface of the lake.

"What is it about her? Why do you love her so much? Is it because he reminds you of someone else? Is she your do-over? Just someone you can fix your past mistakes on, so you can atone, but no matter how badly you do, it doesn't matter, she won't die like everybody else..."

"Shut up," Vash says through gritted teeth.

"Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just telling you what you already know. After all. I am you."

Vash turns his head sharply at the voice, and to his surprise, he sees a figure resembling himself. But it's nearly void of color, the coat both inside and outside is black, his usual orange glasses are replaced by ones with the same shape but a black tint. His hair is spiked and messy but slicked back. The skin has a paler, almost gray hue. The prosthetic arm is gone, just a regular sleeve ending in a flesh hand. The sight takes him by surprise, and his doppelganger steps closer. Vash sees the strange eyes, the whites of the eyes a dark gray, and the irises white.

"What is it?" The fake asks and flashes his sharp teeth, the canines pointed and long like fangs, "I'm you. Don't you trust me? Won't you listen?"

"No." Vash turns away again to come towards you, but he can't find you. "Iris?!"

"So predictable." fake Vash's voice sounds smooth and low like a hum. "How many times do I have to tell you? You're weighing her down, it would be a kindness to let her go. You fulfilled your duty! You have nothing left to feel guilty about when it comes to her. Would you really rather have her cry and cry and cry when you inevitably throw your life away? How cruel."

"I'm not listening to you! Where is she?!" Vash's voice is like a loud growl.

"You want to play the hero again? Very well. She's right under your nose." The voice is condescending, and Vash hears him take steps closer. "You'd do her a favor by stepping away now."

"No! I will always be by her side!" Vash looks down, and through the glassy ice, he sees your figure. You lay on the bottom of the lake, but still nearly within reach. He falls to his knees, and his prosthetic hand rolls into a fist to punch the ice. The surface cracks, but not enough to form a hole.

"My my. You must really miss him. She's your second chance, isn't she... everything you wanted him to be, and then some. Someone to be by your side, to fight your fights with you, and to see things the same way you do. Pathetic."

"Go away! I love her!" Vash punches the ice harder, his fist making it through, and he rips at the ice to make the opening bigger. He shoots his grappling hook down from his prosthesis, and it grabs your arm to pull you out. He staggers backwards as he cradles your freezing body.

"You're okay! You're safe! I'll keep you safe! Just come back to me." He holds you tight against his chest, hoping to warm you up.

"So naive, can't you tell this is just the beginning? Don't you realize what you're roping her into?" The unsettling version of Vash walks circles around the two of you, "You're going to regret not listening to me. Believe it or not, I am the voice of reason. Just look at her."

Vash opens his eyes and lets loose a bit to see you better. Your fingers and legs have turned to ice, frost creeping up your limbs, covering your face. It moves fast, the last spot untouched is above your heart, but soon it too freezes. The frost turns into ice, and cracks appear.

"You can't save her. She will always have to save herself in the end and then suffer."

"Iris!" Vash tunes out the other voice, too consumed by what is happening in his arms. The cracks run along your body, more and more appear till pieces of you fall off, starting with your fingers, clattering onto the smooth ice below. More and more shards detach until there's nothing for Vash to hold on to.

[impostorsshow]

Hi I nailed down more stuff for my Omori au including the design for whitespace Jack so here's the basic stuff about it

Jack has curly hair because that's my personal headcanon, if anyone wants to work off of my interpretation but doesn't agree like do whatever Jack is bald in canon I do not care also if I Knew How to do bullet points I Would

I am well aware that Jack and the rest of the crew in DSaF are grown ass men, but the storyline of Omori simply wouldn't work if Sunny was a 30 year old rotting corpse so forgive me for making everyone teens

Dee takes the place of Mari. Her "Something" form is the puppet, I just forgot to draw her normal appearance here because I wanted to post something about this in order to continue being motivated enough to draw, my forte with aus is words - but she has hair the same shade as peters shown above that's about medium length past the shoulders and that red scarf, probably a pink skirt and wears a sweater of some sort

Peter takes the Place of Basil - he is still Dee and Jack's older brother, but panicked and the only thing he could think of when he found Jack and Dee was to not have his little brother get caught, and helped him. Now, he avoids Jack around the house at all times, not being able to stand what he done, knowing now that he's older and has a management job at the local pizza place and a girlfriend he's too nervous to pop the question to, that Jack probably would have been fine since it was an accident. Appearance wise, he is not. Y'know a phone head but ever since the incident happened, whenever Jack tried to approach him Peter took out his phone and pretended to be busy. His hair is naturally curly like Jack's, but he straightens it before he goes to Fazbenders because it "looks unprofessional, and his employees slack off too much anyway, especially the older ones. Someone has to be setting a standard so they work harder." Peter is the entire reason that one business part of whitespace exists and it's fazbenders instead of casino sharks

Jack is Omori/Sunny, going by "Old Sport" in whitespace. Furthermore, Blackjack is Mewo, and whitespace Jack has a dulled version of Blackjacks tie to indicate the connection between them. I've never played Omori myself and need to, but Jack is the only thing in the world with these colors. Bright stain your eyes yellow exists but the dulled dirty yellow does not, and neither does blackjacks rich dark purple color. On the contrary, while teal and blue seems to be incredibly common in the game, the most common colors are a soft red and lavender.

I honestly haven't planned out who Aubrey is, but the reason for that is that I can't decide whether Dave fits better as Aubrey [fully because of Henry] or Kel. I am leaning toward Kel though because I don't know who would be the first person to go seek Jack out other than him

Wait if Dave could be Kel then who's Hero you ask-? No one. Hero doesn't exist, the closest he gets to existing is Steven in whitespace because I can't tell the phone guys apart because I want to make Peter hero, but in order for him to be Basil Peter needs to be missing- I might make Hero or whitespace Basil Harry at some point, though. Suggestions are welcome since I have no clue

I actually really want to learn how to make a mod so I could mod. Omori in order to tell this au but I don't know how and I don't even know if Omo-Cat would allow that for their game so. I can at least redraw screenshots eventually though

#feel free to use the submission button thingy to suggest screenshots to redraw because i dont have any #i definitely need to redraw the whitespace mirror and the stab mewo thing #art #talk talks #dsaf #dayshift at freddy's #jack kennedy #peter kennedy #that tag is the only thing telling me im talking about the right phone here #dee kennedy #omori #this entire au only exists because i wanted to draw omori while drawing answers for my dsaf ask blog #I POSTED IT AND IT MOVED MY IMAGE TO THE BOTTOM WHY #it also removed my read more sobs

Glee Rewatch 1x15, Faberry and good lighting

Becky deserves a much better haircut, what is this atrocity?

(Are you wondering what's up with this post? Here's an explanation!)

You can see Sue's obsession with Madonna in two ways: the first idea is that it's earnest. She explains it herself: Madonna is an important part of her.

Or you can go the cynical way: "oh. this show is actually popular. we need to sell music and so far we've had quite a few bad numbers for comedy and also a bunch of unremarkable ones. we need to speed up the sales. By the power of Grayskull... Madonna has the power!"

Quinn seems eager to make fun of Rachel, but she also insists on drawing a lot of hearts... Yeah okay that's it, I'm convinced! Faberry shippers, rejoice! You have one more faithful in your ranks!

I completely forgot how much of a jerk Artie could be! That flashback is harrowing.

The cheerleaders's act is incredible but so outlandish that it becomes ridiculous, as I'm sure is the intended reaction. But I've never actually seen IRL cheerleading; do numbers ever get this complicated and audacious?

Loving their outfits (+ Rachel and Tina's faces). Those hearts on Mercedes's shirt? Rachel's tartan and green? Puck's effortlessly fitted shirt? Artie's cardigan? Quinn's bright red with blue/purple outfit? Quinn should wear red more often (note from later: oh boy just you wait!), it fits her skintone and hair color really well I think. And Kurt's odd yet charming getup is a beast of its own.

A scene between Sue and Emma! And this time, Emma looks much more submissive and breedable gosh don't make that joke than previous times, where she seemed ready to fight her. Was it because she felt safe with Will, whereas now they're not together anymore so her insecurities are partying big time?

FINN WHY DID YOU PUSH THOSE BOOKS AND MADE THEM FALL ON THE FLOOR? I understand the Finn hate now.

"Mercedes is Black. I'm gay. We make culture." is such a fun line but I'm biased

"Vogue" is one of the multiple covers I added to my playlist after finishing the show and watching a +2hours Youtube video where somebody ranked every Glee performance. It's a strong performance and the clip is absolutely hypnotizing, very satisfying to watch. It just makes sense.

"Like a Virgin" is also a nice performance and I particularly appreciate the beautiful lighting in the Finn/Santana section. The other two sections are nothing special, but this one? Hypnotizing too. I also like all the couples seem to worship each other's body. It's beautiful to look at. With that said, I find it weird how much importance is given to losing one's virginity. It's very ceremonial in the Gleeverse, apparently! I wouldn't say losing it didn't change anything for me, but it was just... something. It happened. End of story. Finn regrets that it didn't mean anything whereas I rejoyce in the fact that *it doesn't mean anything*.

Meanwhile Emma keeps on cosplaying Daphne from Scooby-Doo and while it's a very fine color scheme, it perplexes me.

I also added "4 Minutes" to my playlist, but the original version. I think if Blaine had replaced Kurt in this song, it would actually be great!

...Damnit, he's still not here yet. At least Mercedes's performance is good. And visually the choreography is nice.

This is a gratuitous screencap of Quinn smiling because she's a ray of sunshine.

Matt's sweat refers to the fact that he only has 48 seconds of screentime left on the show.

Tina absolutely losing her cool when Artie is an asshole to her is one of her finest moments. You go, Tina!

Don't you love it when the local church choir suddenly sings alongside you?

Overall I think it's one of the best episodes of S1. It's a fun watch!

[arcadian-vampire]

Do you have an info or art about the other characters involved with Kalamari??? Esp Glass since you mentioned them directly!!! OwO

Okay SO I do have a few things!! Most of these are old and a lil messy/outdated, so I'm really hoping to whip out a bunch of new stuff soon, but!! I'm gonna put everything under a ReadMore link again bc boy I have things to say and none of it is organized or really coherent so good luck (and also I am still shy)

I've got my two protagonists, Iso (I-20) and Aerani--

[These are Old outfit designs, I redesigned them sorta recently but haven't finished a drawing of them, sobs] I first drew Aerani in like, 2016 I think? and Iso followed not long after! Iso is a bunny chimera, so he's got big silly ears, wahoo. Chimeras have identification codes to keep track of like, when they were created, and Iso's is I-20: Chimera Generation I, Specimen Number 20. Aerani gave him the nickname Iso <3

Here was Iso in like. 2017? 2018? idk but it was ages ago. He's changed quite a bit, mostly bc I would Constantly misplace sketchbooks and Constantly forget exactly what things looked like lksad;f

This era of my art was so cute,, I wanna draw hair more like that again tbh

Here's a semi-recent doodle wip of their new outfits, hoorayyy. Don't mind how unfinished it is and my silly notes all over the place. I'm gonna just redraw this at some point bc my art has improved since then aklsdjf;lskdk

Comfy boys!! Iso's clothing is always kinda ill-fitting bc he Hates skintight stuff, and he is gonna lose those cute slouchy boots SO fast bc I'm gonna drop him in the desert. Woe, sand be upon ye

Iso used to live in a mansion w a rich guy that was Kind Of A Dick, until that guy's daughter-- Iso's childhood best friend-- snapped and killed her dad w a fireplace poker. I haven't drawn her yet and honestly How Dare I. I wanna draw her making flower crowns w Iso

I was Nervous about jumping straight into making smth about them, because I feel like I need wayyyy more practice to be able to tell the story I really wanna tell, so I ended up scooping up my dorky purple merchant Kalamari like 'you know what sure, you can be the protagonist of my practice project and it will be Silly As Hell'. I call my main Eventual Goal 'Quote Unquote Quest', so Kalamari's adventure I'm calling 'Quote Unquote Quest Negative One', since it becomes before the main thing! Aerani will be in that practice project as a side character, bc he's Glass's little brother, but Iso won't be

Also, please witness Aerani's pet, a squishy jello-like blob he calls a frog. It is absolutely not a frog. It sits on his head a lot and makes squeaky lil noises

Here's another chimera! She's much older than Iso, from gen F! The only one left from gen F actually. She calls herself Fa, and she doesn't like to talk, she just hangs out by a pond all day to watch the fish

This is OLD so I'm def gonna redraw it soon, but here's one of my antagonists! They by the name Scratch, and they're sort of. the opposite of Kalamari. I have So Much I wanna draw abt them omg,,

While I do like their color palette, I'm gonnadesign one to match. everyone else. The colors I wanna use for this project (that might eventually change ofc) are brown, orange, golden yellow, magenta, a slightly more purple magenta, violet, indigo, and blueee, with Very Dark Blue and Very Light versions of the other colors for lines and junk. Basically Kalamari Colors ft. some extras to spice things up, since my silly littol practice project revolves around her and how he sees the world:

Everything is very saturated of course bc I'm. cannot and will not use desaturated colors. It's kind of like my chunky lineart-- I can try So Hard to make it thin, but that just doesn't look right to me and as I work woopsie everything is thick and I'm dying

AND FINALLY. MESSY SKETCHY WIP OF GAY PEOPLE IN MY ART PROGRAM

Glass and Kalamari!!!!!!! I hadn't drawn Glass yet and I'm crying bc she's turning out so cute. sobs. I was working on this before I realized oh shit yeah the oc tournament is posting Kalamari tomorrow, and I had to stop to go finish up my other art + my oc sideblog bc I wanted that to all be ready to go

#pikaposts #alo(e) art #quote unquote quest #slides facefirst down the stairs. thank you for attending my chaotic infodump. don't ask me how long i spent writing it #i wonder what it's like to be a person that can write a simple post in a reasonable amount of time. must be wild. #what do y'all do w all that free time #anyway i need to practice drawing more i am Dying

[emiavermilion]

Boruto character design that wasn't made by kishimoto is just.... Disappointing. I can see Ikemoto has a liking to punk / old fashioned style. The design alone is still tolerable but the colours combination ... ughh. It may be his style but those dull, contrasting colours really feel out of place.

Delta outfit colors are just chaotic. Yellow + dark green + pink + black + white. Too much colours that doesn't harmonize!

look at Code, for a cyborg that supposed to use advenced tech, he wears something like a vampire looking outfit

Not enough with Sumire, here comes Eida, more ripped off version of Hinata. Sure, Hinata don't own the haircut but Sumire uses purple colour, Hinata's signature colour! While Eida dark blue hair is very similar with Hinata hair colour. They could've pick other colours, right? And those ornaments on Eida pants tho.... Those ornaments make her and Daemon like a Christmas tree. Maybe I'm too harsh but their fashion doesn't fit the ninja universe

Meanwhile the anime characters has super bright color and monotonous. Making boruto looks like kindergarten anime

Team 15 (excluding Hanabi) is a perfect example of monotonous colours. Their design alone is ok but the colours chosen could have been better. Each of them is dominated by one colour with different hue.

I'm fully aware making good character design is never easy but the way I see boruto characters, they looks unfinished. It's kinda you're still in the design process but then gave up midway.

Horror AU Dolly and Ames Story Chapter 1 The First Encounter.

3rd person pov

A small orphanage was seen there wasn't much there aside from the people inside the children are all over having fun or napping all except one a little girl she had brownish red hair but had decided to get a purple streak in her hair and pretty blue eyes her name was Ames she was playing with a plush animal she had found earlier the plush was odd it had a deer head four arms batwing a cat tail all mixed with on a humanoid body. It was covered in stitches and patches. It seems that the poor thing had been beaten up now little Ames had made a great many toys as the sweet little if weird girl she spent a lot of time perfecting her skills. Who knows? Maybe someone will recognize her skills and see her for who she is. But for now she'd stick to herself now while Noone made fun of her (that she knew of) she knew she wasn't popular but she didn't really care now the plush she had an interesting company name on it. Magic of Childhood Inc. Now she hadn't heard of them but this plushie made it clear that they had quality toys but of course she had to repair them first. After a long day she had gone to bed not sure what to call her new friend but she found something claiming his name is Plushiedox so that's his name now. As she went to sleep something happened that would change her life.

_______________________________________

Plushiedox Pov

I had been beaten up and torn that's all I knew for a small bit of time as some mean kid here had found me and well I was sure if I had guts I'd be the reddest thing in the world but this little girl had found me and fixed me I've heard from the women here her name is Amelia but she likes the name Ames more now I let her see my tag to see what she'd think of the Company apparently if she's the one i got told to find she'd love to know more.

She seems nice. I hope she's the one Mother told us about. I'd love her as a baby sis.

_______________________________________

Dolly's Pov

She should be here. I had a little adventure somehow through magic but after that incident that made me well me along with my changes I had to isolate myself from most but somehow through a tear in something I ended up meeting another me and seeing her baby girl I will admit I was jealous she looked more human than me and she had something I didn't know I wanted. Love from such a pure soul so I sent Plushiedox,Comet, and Shroud to find my world's version of her and I haven't had luck. But I think I might have something. Someone fixing Plushiedox now of course I had to be sure so I'll watch and wait. But I'm not sure how to approach her. I'm not pretty and this place apparently doesn't have magic. I'll try to be a friendly voice for now. Tomorrow is a new day.

_______________________________________

Ames Pov

My day was pretty normal: wake up, get breakfast, double check that Noone tampered with my friends Then play but somehow I found someone ripping something up now I thought it was one of my friends but it wasn't it was new he seemed different very different but I liked it he was soft and cuddly so I fixed him then washed him of course Ms.K and Ms.P looked confused but I didn't mind I had a new friend I played all day with him I showed him my friends and found his tag I would look up his creator Tomorrow I need a good night's rest I'll keep him for ad long as I can he'll fit right in with me.

Dolly and this AU is by me

Az's Sonic Self-Insert AU Introduction | Part 1

So in-line with making an MHA masterpost to explain those massive AUs that I've had for a while, I'm making one for my Sonic AU too. Which will be even more complicated because I've had Eternal for over 10 years and have been working with this particular version for about 7.

So without further ado, I shall put it all under the cut! This one's gonna be a LOT longer, because I have way more art on-hand than I did for MHA. Over 10 years worth of it, actually.

Alright, so I lied. This AU doesn't actually start with Eternal, technically. It starts with my very first Sonicsona from over 10 years ago, Violet.

Yes, this design was an eyesore, but bare with me. She was my original Sonicsona whom I kinda made by mistake, but damn did she open the doors. I used her for a long time, before scrapping her for reasons unknown, and making Eternal.

I later decided to bring her back as just an OC, and she's become a central part to the AU.

^ This is her current design, give or take some clothes.

-----

Now, onto Eternal. He's one of those inserts I've had long enough that he was originally a girl for many years. However, even when referring to these old designs, we're gonna use he/him for my comfort.

Eternal's original design was. An eyesore to say the least. Blue fur, blue eyes, blue clothes... I did not know color theory and I didn't know any color other than BLUE. Ignore the purple character on the left, that was an "anti" form for this Eternal who legit never got used outside of this picture.

Now lucky y'all I actually don't have much more art of this version from back in the day (That's all packed away in a cringe archive), but I do have a few more recent redraws of the design. Because sometimes I get nostalgic for where Eternal started.

After this, it becomes complicated. I cycled designs for Eternal a lot. I could never get him feeling quite right. For a long time I've sought this balance between feeling like he looks like me, whilst also having an appropriately fun Sonic style design, and also feeling like he represents what I want to be; A me who isn't afraid. Also he was shipped with Sonic.

I also just like a shitton of different aesthetics and couldn't PICK ONE. So E went through a Lot of designs. Therefore bare with me and my potentially terrible memory.

I think this is one of the oldest that I still have. There were some others between this and the blue hedgehog one, but do they matter? Not really. This one is where the Eternal we know now really began. This design is in-line with Nyx's original design (My Sly Cooper insert. Well, the first one). Putting this somewhere around 2015.

Then it transitioned into this hedgehog design. I just really love the aesthetic of the hedgehog designs, okay? Lol. And as you can probably notice, I started shipping him with Shadow. This was legit a complete accident, but Shadow has somehow claimed the top spot as my most important F/O to date. Many have come close and perhaps share his tier, but he's still got a very unique spot all his own. This was in 2016, and this is where I designated Eternal to have psychokinesis. Call me unoriginal but it's literally one of my favorite powers ever.

And then I guess I got annoyed with him being entirely dark brown, and did this design. Still actually love the hair on this one.

And then I wanted to be more "original" and not have a hedgehog design, so I tried echidna. It didn't last long because I like my fursonas having ears, I learned. Also yes, he had a hammer weapon that was inspired by Skyrim. It did not fit the Sonic aesthetic. This design and it's outfits actually set up A LOT of Eternal's aesthetic now, though.

I then did this hedgecat design. Which then transitioned back into just being a cat. I did kinda stick with for a little while at that point, at the least. Also props to me in the first pic for actually drawing him holding my phone lol

And then this design came to be. In terms of physical features, this is the design that built a lot of Eternal now. He was a fox/lynx hybrid at this point. And the colors went back to matching Nyx. I used this design quite a lot, and I think this is the design he had when I started cracking down with actually writing the fic.

And then I made him orange. Because I can. And because I got bored with brown. The one issue I had with this design was properly drawing where his orange head ended and his brown/other color hair began. Could never quite get that right.

And then it turned into this design. Which has also become like a cornerstone of E's current design. This was the design in play when I came out and Eternal officially became a he.

And this was the first drawing of him afterwards. I joked to my best friend that I always had trouble drawing boobs and chest fluff, and always thought that one of them needed to go. Turns out it was the chesticles!

And then I got bored with brown again. I missed taking advantage of how colorful Sonic characters are allowed to be. I missed expressing myself via an unusually colored animal. I missed having fun with my designs.

So, to ring in the new year of 2021 (Sort of), I started redesigning him again. The first design made specifically to be a guy.

A lot of fiddling happened. A boy do I mean A Lot. I fussed over colors a ridiculous amount. Because E is ridiculously important to me, and I needed him to feel just right. In the end...

This is where he stands now. I'm in love with this design more than I have ever loved any of his designs before. This is The One and I'm so ridiculously happy with it.

However... There's more to it, because Eternal actually has two versions. Pre-06 retcon, and Post-06 retcon. I just refer to it as Pre- and Post-retcon/reboot. And in Pre-reboot I gave him a slightly different design. I want to represent my transition through him, because his old designs kind of are a timeline of Me.

So I've let pre-retcon E have a design more similar to older ones while still adding new elements to make it still feel like Eternal as he is now.

I'm still ironing out those design details though, and I have reached the 30 image post limit, so this will be part 1 of this masterpost. Part 2 will get into the actual story and whatnot.

If you've somehow read this entire autobiography about my Sonicsonas, I applaud you immensely.

#Sonic OC #Shit what else do I tag this with??? #;; up and down and all around #My Sonic tag I guess but I also need an AU tag #;; Find Me In The Dark Now #That's been one of the titles for it for ages #Always been looking for a better one but #One has not presented itself to me #So that's the tag

[dreamsmp-au-ideas]

I want to talk about mob traits and archetype au is some of it so let's gooo

Sam liked creeper, even with their explosive function, but the little patches of green growing on him every day he goes to the prison worries him, and one time he caught himself hissing to Puffy, his best hypothesis? The stress is making his genes appear, but still, the urge to hurt, kill and explode his friends isn't the best.

While building and struggling and being motivated by spite in general, Niki didn't notice the purple particles coming out of her, or the enderman not being so aggressive as before, but Jack notices when her skin started to become black, and worried both, but there isn't one legit doctor in the server to go and see what was happening, Tommy almost didn't recognize her with the point black ears and pink hair, but he still followed her to the forest to get the wood Sam nook wanted. And when she got out of her little city and gone to the north and cold, she was almost as tall as Ranboo, her sking completed black and her eyes glowing a faint blue inatural of enderman that she looked so alike now.

Bad smiled, they with help of Ant were cheking the preparations of their little... event, the cat was checking in their resources when suddenly something hit Bad.

"Ant, have you always been a cat?"

"Huh?... I think so, I don't remember being anything else... and you Bad, have you always been like that?"

Turning, Bad send a questioning look to where he could see the antropomorfic cat back.

"Like what Ant?"

"...I don't know, demon like? With horns and void skin you know?"

"...huh, I never noticed it."

"Well, you were the one to ask it!"

"Okay okay, we have to check some stuff up still"

...but still, Bad thought, why i didn't remember this?(before this, they would joke about how demonic and nether like Bad was all time, before he was taller too, just enough to fit the fostress corridors and dark enough to blend in with the withers, but now none remembers that time)

Karl had another nightmare, this time not of the past, but the grim future he saw one time and it must be already changed by the way things are going, he was again feeling disconnected, so he goes to the bathroom to wash up his face and leave the nightmare behind, and soon as water touch his hands he feels calmer already. With a towel he drys his face and looks at the mirror above the sink, not to find his usual reflection, but blocks of swirling and bright neon colors looking back at him, and at the same time it scares him, it is... nostalgic? Familiar? Why is it so familiar? And with a blink the neon colors are gone and forgotten from the time travelers memory, but the confusion still remained.(XD never liked the neon creature that appeared with Sapnap one day, so the moment he could, he twisted and changed and modified it until it looked right to him and send him back to the server, but if changing appearances is difficult, cutting ties with powers and other entities of creatures was almost impossible, so with white blocks and black roses, he made a place where the creature would be caught rest between his travelling adventures and not cause too much trouble for him... well, now he has to deal with versions getting stuck in the In between and not overcrowd the place)

Quackity was again, wiping away these dang yellow feather away from his prestigious cassino, and continues to swear that the day he gets his hand on the dang chicken or bird leaving them behind he will feast on it until he's full.(he never looked when scratching his back little feathers would fall or how when he moved much and his back was itching his shirt became more pulled)

Ghostbur hid beneath another ceiling, again somehow forgetting that rain melts him instead of... of what? He doesn't remember, and he doesn't want to walk on sun either, he will get hurt again and be more hungry with... with what? He doesn't remember. Ghostbur is becoming tired of not remembering important things but remembering unimportant things, he wants to find his family. But where...(but still, his grey sking was always itching in the bright sun and melting in the rain wasn't such a big thing, with how rapid he would recompose himself)

Phil again groaned, feeling his feet sore and again take of his boots to see what is going on but find nothing but still, the feeling of tiredness of his body was driving him nuts and with the murder screaming again about how he's old doesn't help in nothing, but at the back of his mind the feeling of wrongness did not grew, but become even more present with the tiredness of his body... maybe he should pull a Techno and hibernate for some time...(and maybe in his dreams, he will remember how with his big wings he could get such a impulse even from the ground, remember that this is his first time with complete human feet in his life and not a hybrid between a crow and a human feet)

Tubbo's horns were hurting again, but they stopped growing after he started building snowchester, so he has no clue what could be the cause, he washed and polished them but nothing was stuck in them, so most of the day he is just bumping his head against things and people, and his back is scratching all day too... whatever, he has better things to do.(than remembering that he too had wings to fly, but insect ones were always frail and easy to rip of, but they would normally grow back and he would be in the air again with his father and maybe Tommy if he really feeled like it, how he had things on his head but never fully horns, just little antenna to talk and waste time with his bee friends. Better than remembering how XD likes to tear down things and people apparently)

*cries softly at everything

Oh my god this? This is beautiful.

So like, Anne, Mary, and Sasha are often shown in their stone colors, right? Not really-

Heart=blue

Strength=pink

Wit=green

Obviously they wear their colors pretty often(for Sasha and Marcy its even their school uniform)But not always. Very often we see them in adjacent colors-

Sasha wears a lot of red(a more intense version of pink= a /lot/ of "strength") Marcy's Amphibia outfit has a ton of blue(she's following her heart more than her head) And Anne doesn't even wear blue that often- she wears a lot purple, including her school uniform(also in the intro she not wearing any blue, but her shirt has pink and her shoes have purple). Also, purple is a mix of blue and pink.

So what am I getting at? Well, think about the towers:

1st, we've got wit(green) which wasn't even about being as smart as possible but about having humility(heart)so- blue.

Then the 2nd, heart(blue), which again wasn't about having as much heart as possible but having responsibility(strength + heart), so- purple.

The 3rd, strength(pink), as we know, doesn't have the same rules as the other two- it IS about being as strong as possible, hence intense pink=red.

Of course there some important scenes we should take a look at, scenes where the girls(as a trio) wore their respective colors(or similar ones). To my memory that includes: the flashback to when they met, the dinner, and "No Big Deal".

Sasha is wearing pink!(and some blue) she's showing a classic strength but also is being pretty caring. Anne is in all purple, save for her yellow sneakers- she's heart and (emotional) strength through and through- which makes sense since she's really the linchpin to their whole group as we see in this flashback.

Marcy is wearing almost nothing but green- she doesn't really do that much(separate from Anne) but we can take this whole scene as a display of their dynamic so it makes sense for marcy to be all wit(she does have a pink bobble in her hair and blue crocs but regardless).

Next, the dinner:

Sasha is wearing a lot of, not pink, but red. The blue and green flower is literally over her heart- but its also completely surface level- she's got her "heart" visible but it could easily be removed(this fits how she acts in this episode pretty well).

Anne and Marcy are wearing adjacent colors as well, Anne is in purple and Marcy is in turquoise, Anne is pulled into a compromise with Sahsa this episode and has to put aside her heart to do so(see: Sasha not wanting to be a better person so Anne doesn't try to force it), Marcy also takes Annes side a few times, like pointing out why they stopping doing everything Sasha's way.

(What i get from their colors in this episode has more to do with their connections to eachother rather than to their stones-)

Now, battle of the bands:

This ones just before the finale so other symbolism is at play(see: butterflies, dragonflies, etc.) But this about their colors so-

Marcy is once again decked out in almost nothing but green except some purplish blush- she's not Marcy Wu, she's Marcy, Anne and Sasha's friend, just like in the flashback of when they all met Marcy mostly stays out of the spotlight and avoids playing middleman through out this whole episode.

Anne is in primarily blue! She shows a ton of heart but she really trys to have a freindship with Sasha, thus plenty of shades of purple are present(She also shows that emotional strength when she sticks up for herself against Sasha).

Finally, we've got Sasha, in, again, red. At the time she plans and puts on this outfit she's pretty firmly away from the other girls so, just like her armor, she wears red, black, etc.

All of this is purely me digging -randomly- into things that maybe aren't so deep for fun soooo, not an actual analysis or anything, but I'm still pretty happy with it-

Tell me if I missed any you think fit this!

Bisexual Kyoshi is something that can be so personal, actually

Panel edit by @flagellasturbation

[image I.D. : An edit of a comic panel of avatar Kyoshi. On the left in the image is a close-up of Kyoshi from the torso up, contained within an upside-down trapezoid shape. She wears her full battle uniform of olive and emerald robes, dark gloves and bracers, and a golden headpiece in a fan-like shape. Her eyes are the same emerald shade as her robes, she has black hair billowing to the left edge of the image, and her black eyebrows have been dramatically lengthened by black face paint. Her face and neck are artificially whitened with chalky makeup, she has black winged eyeliner, red eyeshadow that sweeps upwards to her temples and down the sides of her nose, and red lipstick outlined in black. This is the classic Kyoshi makeup. Her arms are crossed, the left arm behind her head pointing a golden fan away from the viewer, the right arm extended in front of her face, another golden fan pointed towards the viewer. She appears to be looking upwards and towards the right of the image. Above Kyoshi’s eye level and in the top right of the image is a comic text box. It reads in all caps: “even avatar Kyoshi- who by all accounts loved men and women- was unable to effect any kind of real progress.” The background art and color has been replaced with the Bisexual Flag, a thick horizontal line of pink on top, stopping at Kyoshi’s cheek level, then a thinner line of purple ending at her shoulders, and a thick line of blue that extends to the bottom of the image. End I.D.]

(If someone does not find my image I.D. sufficient, please let me know. This is my first time trying to make such a thing, as i am a lurker, not a poster)

Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee, page 99 (text copy / pasted from the b&n ebook version)

““Are those . . . fire lilies?” he said, a wide, knowing grin spreading across his face.

Kyoshi flushed beet red. “Stop it,” she said.

“That’s right,” Yun said. “The Ember Island tourism minister brought a bunch when he visited two weeks ago. I can’t believe you simply shred the flowers once they dry out. I guess nothing goes to waste in this house.”

“Knock it off,” Kyoshi snapped. But it was too hard keeping the corners of her lips from curling upward.

“Knock what off?” he said, enjoying her reaction. “I’m just commenting on a fragrance I’ve come to particularly enjoy.”

It was an inside reference that only the two of them shared. Rangi didn’t know. She hadn’t been there in the gifting room eight months ago while Kyoshi arranged a vast quantity of fire lilies sent by an admiral in the Fire Navy, one of Hei-Ran’s friends.

Yun had spent the afternoon watching Kyoshi work. Against every scrap of her better judgment, she’d allowed him to lie down on the floor and rest his head in her lap while she plucked deformed leaves and trimmed stems to the right length. Had anyone caught the two of them like that, there would have been a scandal that not even the Avatar could have recovered from.

That day, entranced by Yun’s upside-down features dappled with the flower petals she’d teasingly sprinkled over his face, she’d almost leaned down and kissed him. And he knew it. Because he’d almost reached up and kissed her.

They never spoke of it afterward, the shared impulse that had nearly crashed both of their carriages. It was too . . . well, they each had their duties was a good way to put it. That moment did not fit anywhere among their responsibilities.

But since then, whenever the two of them were in the presence of fire lilies, Yun’s eyes would dart toward the flowers repeatedly until he was sure Kyoshi noticed. She would try unsuccessfully to keep a straight face, the heat coloring her neck, and he’d sigh as if to mourn what could have been.

Today was no different. With a wistful blush on his own cheeks, Yun stared her down until her defenses broke and she let out a giggle through her nose.

“There’s that beautiful smile,” he said. He pressed his heels into the floor, sliding up against the wall, and straightened his rumpled shirt. “Kyoshi, trust me when I say this: If it turns out not to be me, I’ll be glad it’s you.”

~~~~~~~~~

Rise of Kyoshi by F.C. Yee, page 210 (text copy / pasted from the b&n ebook version)

“You think you don’t deserve peace and happiness and good things, but you do!” Rangi yelled. “You, Kyoshi! Not the Avatar, but you!”

She closed the distance and wrapped her arms around Kyoshi’s waist. The embrace was a clever way to hide her face.

“Do you have any idea how painful it’s been for me to follow you on this journey where you’re so determined to punish yourself?” she said. “Watching you treat yourself like an empty vessel for revenge, when I’ve known you since you were a servant girl who couldn’t bend a pebble? The Avatar can be reborn. But you can’t, Kyoshi. I don’t want to give you up to the next generation. I couldn’t bear to lose you.”

Kyoshi realized she’d had it all wrong. Rangi was a true believer. But her greatest faith had been for her friends, not her assignment. She pulled Rangi in closer. She thought she heard a slight, contented sigh come from the other girl.

“I wish I could give you your due,” Rangi muttered after some time had passed. “The wisest teachers. Armies to defend you. A palace to live in.”

Kyoshi raised an eyebrow. “The Avatar gets a palace?”

“No, but you deserve one.”

“I don’t need it,” Kyoshi said. She smiled into Rangi’s hair, the soft strands caressing her lips. “And I don’t need an army. I have you.”

Psh,” Rangi scoffed. “A lot of good I’ve been so far. If I were better at my job you would never feel scared. Only loved. Adored by all.”

Kyoshi gently nudged Rangi’s chin upward. She could no more prevent herself from doing this than she could keep from breathing, living, fearing.

“I do feel loved,” she declared.

Rangi’s beautiful face shone in reflection. Kyoshi leaned in and kissed her.

A warm glow mapped Kyoshi’s veins. Eternity distilled in a single brush of skin. She thought she would never be more alive than now.

And then—

The shock of hands pushing her away. Kyoshi snapped out of her trance, aghast.

Rangi had flinched at the contact. Repelled her. Viscerally, reflexively.

Oh no. Oh no.

This couldn’t—not after everything they’d been through—this couldn’t be how it—

Kyoshi shut her eyes until they hurt. She wanted to shrink until she vanished within the cracks of the earth. She wanted to become dust and blow away in the wind.

But the sound of laughter pulled her back. Rangi was coughing, drowning herself with her own tears and mirth. She caught her breath and retook Kyoshi by the hips, turning to the side, offering up the smooth, unblemished skin of her throat.

“That side of my face is busted up, stupid,” she whispered in the darkness. “Kiss me where I’m not hurt.”

~~~~~

I include both these quotes because i've seen a few posts about the “gigantic lesbian” avatar, and although i am glad my sapphic sisters feel connected to Kyoshi (as well they should!), that doesn't mean i wish to simply be quiet on the matter of her textual bisexuality. I understand that not everyone has read her novels, nor has everyone read legend of Korra comics, but Kyoshi is *textually* bisexual.

Kyoshi had a loving romantic relationship with her firebending friend Rangi, but this does not erase her feelings for her earthbending friend Yun, even if neither of them were able to properly express it due to their respective “status”. (For context if you haven’t read, the masters believed that Yun was the avatar, and though he was bodyguarded by Rangi, and though Kyoshi was his servent, the three of them were simiar ages and thus close friends until the discovery of Kyoshi’s true ability destroyed their former lives). Hell, Kyoshi and Rangi do not become intimate until after fleeing their former lives. Who is to say what would have happened, had Yun not been captured by father glowworm ?

I know that there is a chance you will scoff at this, will write this off as comphet, accuse me of disproportionately weighting an almost-kiss with a true relationship, but these above quotes (as well as the comic panel from “the legend of korra: turf wars- part 1”) serve as proof that Kyoshi, “by all accounts loved men and women” (see panel directly below)

[image I.D. : the same comic panel as the edit above, this one without the bisexual flag edited in. Directly behind Kyoshi, within the upside-down trapezoid shape, is an olive to lime gradient, darker around her head and lighter near the bottom. Around and to the right in the image, outside of the trapezoid, is an aerial shot of buildings within an Earth Kingdom city, and what appears to be the lines of troops on the ground far below. the text box in the image is the same, but I have underlined the word “men” in blue, the word “and” in purple, and the word “women” in pink, to reflect the bisexual flag. End I.D.]

I am making such a big deal over this because Kyoshi is a massive figure, her long shadow cast over Aang’s life alongside Roku’s, and even before her novels came out there were often jokes about her “bloodthirsty” nature. I implore you to read the novels and see why Kyoshi believed in deadly justice at times, but also so you can see what a dynamic, loving, and beautiful character she is.

Some members of fandom have taken a “step on me” attitude towards Kyoshi, who has, even if the 7 feet tall thing is more fanon than canon, been explicitly described as “exceptionally tall”, and “towering” over others. This “strong woman who will break me and I thank them” attitude is one that butch &/or physically imposing sapphics, as well as trans women with similar statures to Kyoshi have expressed discomfort when applied to themselves and characters like them. I would love for more people to acknowledge her flaws and multi-faceted nature, that she is more than a “warrior goddess”, just as Aang is more than a living relic. Flattening her out to the easily-fetishable parts erases the depth of her character and the complexity of circumstances that led to the instances of deadly force.

There are very few bisexual characters in media, especially women, and especially in children’s media. Bisexual women have often been caricatured as loose, promiscuous, good for a threesome and not much else. (This is mot to say that i think any lesser of my fellow bisexuals who are proudly promiscious, nor can an actual live bisexual person be considered a stereotype for living their life, but media’s portayal of us as obsessed with desire is incredibly harmful). Knowing that a strong, beautiful, and important character in the avatar universe is a bisexual woman is amazing, even more so to have her first lady-love described in the novels with such care. F. C. Yee, the author of these novels, has my eternal gratitude. I sincerely hope that the new generation of fans, whether they are drawn to the cartoon or even the hypothetical live action show, will pick up these novels and discover the kind of bisexual character that I wish existed in my early days as a reader, and if a small fraction of them resonate with Kyoshi’s reciprocal on Yun and love for Rangi, then the world becomes a little bit brighter for it.

I mentioned her importance for the simple reason that Kyoshi IS important with the text of ATLA. As one of the avatars, she is one of the most historically important figures in that universe, one of the few avatars that Aang knows by name, and one of the only avatars to speak through his body. The fact that she has two whole novels to herself testifies to that effect, making her bisexual representation all the more important than a simple background character might be. 

If or when the ATLA live action tv show occurs, we can expect some mention of Kyoshi. After all, there is a whole episode dedicated to exploring one of her missions, and the way that the descendants of her enemy have recolored history. It is my sincere desire that enough discussion is made about her canon bisexuality , that fandom trumphets it from the roof with as much force as crackshipping zukka, that when she does make it to the screen, there is some subtle nod in her bisexuality’s direction, even if it is something as meta as casting a bisexual actress for her. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

[image I.D. : An edit of a comic panel of avatar Kyoshi. This is like the first image, Kyoshi and the text box of the comic panel untouched, the background color and art replaced with the bisexual flag. However, this version has the words “by all accounts” blown up large and placed diagonally in the image, directly under Kyoshi’s face and stretching from one side of the image to the other. The bottom third of the image is similarly obscured, the words  “men” , “and” , “women” blown up large enough to fill the panel and cover most of Kyoshi’s torso, as well as the purple and blue areas of the background flag.
