#To differentiate and all

[honetii]

I'm like super normal and not unhinged in the slightest (I spent 3 days formatting, printing, and binding a niche internet story about sci fi football into a 280 page physical book)

#it's a little crusty around the edges but. i am not a professional i just like binding books #the colored dots are bc my printer is strictly black and white and i needed a way to differentiate text colors #so. posca pens. #all the videos are QR codes !! #17776 #is there even a fandom for this i legitimately don't know #if there is i love y'all

Meet the Harkers! 🦇

Wanted to pin down my designs for Jonmina; settled on slicked-back hair w some flyaways for Jonathan, and an Asian Mina!! 🫶

#i draw too many gothic male characters so i needed to figure out how to differentiate them all #otherwise theyre all gonna start looking like victor van dort from corpse bride #dracula #dracula daily #jonathan harker #mina murray #mina harker #dracula fanart

unbearably haunting how furina and neuvillette both have a "past self" of sorts whose memory and experience they had nearly no knowledge of, and it took furina's other half arranging her own death, thus losing that part of herself forever, for neuvi to regain his

#genshin impact #furina #neuvillette #focallette #neuvifuri #it's not explicitly said that neuvi regains all or even any memories by attaining authority over hydro #but the part of his character stories that says 'he can differentiate every minute memory' of the primordial sea #including things he didn't know before the aq (egeria's sin) implies as much imo #he at least regained some

First drawing is just me seeing how I would draw all the WWs (excuse the fact I used trimax ww’s assigned pen for the rest of them) (tbh I think it helps seeing the differences but next time I’ll draw em with their assigned brushes)

Second drawing is a redraw from WW’s expression sheet

#trigun #trigun stampede #trigun maximum #trigun badlands rumble #badlands rumble #tristamp #trimax #nicholas d. wolfwood #wolfwood #da gallery #yeah i purposefully put the cat emoji there. currently tristamp ww radiates a lot of black cat energy he’s not quite to wolf status #he’s like their youngest brother who will bite all of them and tell em to eat shit but then an hour later comes back w/ some candy as a #form of apology bc he’s absolutely horrible at actually saying sorry to someone but cares enough to at least do something to prove it #actually that’s kinda all of the wolfwoods if I think about it. but tristamp just has it the worst i can just tell LMAO #anyways enough of me rambling I hope u guys notice the small differences between all of them I tried to differentiate them

i feel like people keep interchanging MAINS, EXCLUSIVES, and AFFILIATES and haphazardly using them without really recognizing what they mean, so here's a brief description of the differences.

MAINS are the primary group of roleplay blogs you interact with on a regular basis. you might choose to prioritize them in terms of replies or ask memes, or focus on their dynamics more often than you do others.

EXCLUSIVES are the only version of that character you will write with. as an example, if you add a canon superman or a princess jasmine to your exclusives, it means you will not write with or follow any duplicates of those characters.

** this can also include FACECLAIM EXCLUSIVES, where you won't follow duplicate faceclaims of your favorite blogs. weird example, but if you're writing with a blog using tom hanks as their faceclaim, you might say you're faceclaim exclusive with that blog and refuse to write with or follow any other blogs using tom hanks.

AFFILIATES are blogs with extensive ties to your blog's canon. their characters are weaved into your storyline to such a degree that you cannot separate them from one another. maybe they're your primary or single ship partner. maybe you created the characters together. maybe they're from the same piece of media and you want to establish their significant ties to your muse and their story. this is a step up from exclusives, and their url is often linked in your pinned or placed on your rules page.

#rp psa #psa #roleplay psa #rpc psa #i see so many people with like 20 affiliates and i'm like #i mean you do you but i think you're actually meaning to call them exclusives???? #which is totally fine of course #i think we just need to differentiate between all of these terms #i personally see mains as OCs and exclusives as canons #and then my affiliate is my main ship partner #because their stories are super interwoven #BUT THAT'S JUST ME!!! #ok to reblog ofc

FIRST of all silver looks like an adoring baby duck. the love in his eyes is my artistic peak #SECOND OF ALL have. look at me. have u ever tried to draw a curved bookshelf full of books in 3pt perspective before? have u? #no? good. dont. that was so tricky ESP LINELESS OH MY GOD but all the lil titles on the books and the differentiation is satisfying to seee #this was drawn pre-7.5 and i was tempted to fix the cottage to be Completely Accurate but 80hr workweek said no. c'est la vie <3 #twst #twisted wonderland #twst silver #lilia vanrouge #sebek zigvolt #but yes this is a culmination of my zine portfolio. my 70+ experiences and 15 collabs and 3 formatted zines. all for this :D #thank u lettie i love and adore u so dearly and would work w u anytime <3 kissing u from hundreds of miles away #suntails

my cody theory for tbb s3

the legendary "boba fett" is actually like twenty different clones (including the real Boba). anyone at risk of being recognized (usually officers/arcs) can go into bounty hunting as "boba fett". it soon becomes the clone equivalent of like john doe. they share a bounty guild account (bc it uses biometric id and they're close enough to register as the same person).

"boba fett" soon develops a reputation for getting missions done 1) incredibly well and 2) incredibly fast. the fast part is because there are at least eight people all doing different bounties at any given time. the well part is because "boba fett" is an informal collective of escaped clones of particular distinction in battle.

by the time the real Boba is an adult, the "boba fett" clones have built up his bounty hunter credit score so much that he can pretty much take whatever job he wants for max rates.

#star wars #tbb #the bad batch #tbb s3 #commander cody #boba fett #redbean art #predictions #why is cody a bounty hunter? well #he still hasnt gotten dechipped yet but he can choose to accept bounties that send him after important imperial targets #so this is his way of circumventing his very-deteriorated chip #bc he is still following orders from /somebody/ #and its not like the emperor ever explicitly ordered him to never take bounties on imperial admirals... #vader can tell the bobas apart #hes worked w enough clones to figure out how to differentiate them solely from force signature #(palpatine could absolutely learn to if he ever bothered. but. he doesn't) #but only the real boba works for him anyways so it doesn't really matter to him #(after all anything keeping cody from joining rebellion leadership is good in vader's books) #to be clear its not a formal group or anything. it's just twentysome escaped clones who all decided to impersonate boba

I'm Italian and a new follower, ever since I saw the region where Machete is from I can't stop calling him Carmelo in my head since it's a pretty common name there and Vasco speaks with a Tuscan accent in my head now( I love how they pronounce the letter C even if people sometimes makes fun of them for that)

It's always really fun hearing about any Italians that like my work and characters, because you guys obviously have the insider knowledge I (a Finnish person) am not privy to. If you say Machete looks like a Carmelo I have hard time doing anything but nodding and going "ah yes, sounds legit, you probably know your Carmelos better than I do".

#Italian in it's standard form sounds pretty distinct to me it's relatively easy to identify it #but there's no way I'd be able to differentiate between all the regional accents/dialects/languages #answered #anonymous #for comparison I can't tell spoken Swedish Norwegian and Icelandic apart reliably #even though they're our neighbors and I hear them pretty regularly and I'm technically supposed to be able to speak Swedish #on top of that I'm always mixing up Danish and Dutch

the scorpion and the frog

#hellsing #alutegra #i need period drama hellsing #the clothes might be historically inaccurate because i just shove every reference up together #did not have the time to differentiate between victorian or ewardian or regency something something #alucard hellsing #integra hellsing #the scorpion and the frog is my favourite fable #there are so many ways to interpret it more than just a cautionary tale #personally i see it as a tragic romance #all of my otps follow the same damn trope everytime #someone who believed that it is in their nature that they are unlovable #and someone who trusted them regardless even fully aware of their destructive nature #but as fairytales mostly go isnt true love can break the spell #so i think there are several ways that the tale of the scorpion and the frog can be retold #the scorpion and the frog

if trc was a visual medium and I was a tiktoker i would go insane talking about quiet luxury and how Declan and Adam both fall into this position of people with OBJECTIVELY less money compared to their peers and how both of them are trying to replicate luxury (ie: clothing=persona/identity) to varying levels of success. adam wears old gifts from the ganseys and declan is very clearly called out by other characters to be overcompensating. neither are fully seamless and even though thats not an overt plot point it is DEFINITELY very significant since plenty of their story beats echo each other down to their relationship with ronan, who is a different fashion debate (eg. how punk can you get off of a bank account you dont need to look at and a shaved head which needs to be constantly maintained and a BMW you stole w no repurcussion). again I DO think stief implies fascinating plot points that she doesn't focus on but her display of class and economic variation is very very cool & obviously people w more context of specific USAmerican culture can have this debate better than I can

editing to link the video that finally helped me put this thought into words

#since we don't have a visual representation yet & i refuse to acknowledge stief's art I'm just gonna mention some hcs #i think all of us are pretty set on what gansey looks/wears #my interest comes from declan. i dont believe his suits are made to fit. theyre tailored MAYBE but not made for him #and visually putting him in these political spaces where the suit has such value is. Gahhh #[gestures vaguely at succession] look how they did it!! #this gorg author i saw said that the working class cant attain quiet luxury bc we dont have the Breeding for it #and declan exists as a first generation very new money individual as compared to gansey or even henry #(on that note gansey and henry have different kinds of wealth but frankly i believe there IS a millions/billions differential there) #but again. not enough information to yap #but. Very cool #trc

Calling golden age Clark an anticapitalist/socialist paragon is only true for prewar golden age Clark (1938-42). The instant the US entered the war and the character started to be used to sell war stamps, he couldn't act as anti-authoritarian; destroying a car factory for its use of unsafe, inferior materials (action 12), trapping a mine owner in his own mine to force him to improve conditions for his workers (action 3), or tearing down tenement housing in order to force the government to build better, safer apartments (action 8) are all actions that would be seen as actively traitorous in the wake of Pearl Harbor. The Superman office contributed enthusiastically to war propaganda in all the forms of media the character was appearing in (comics, newspaper strips, radio show, and the Fleischer animations). By the end of the war Superman the Character was firmly established as Establishment. Postwar golden age Superman is still devoted to doing the right thing, of course, but now he helps raise money for charity, donates his time and labor to build orphanages, that sort of thing. He's not trying to tear the system down... much as I wish DC would let him try.

Instead of Siegel's original justice cryptid, the furiously kinetic Champion of the Oppressed outsider Superman, postwar to modern day we get a Clark who shifts back and forth on the spectrum of establishmentarianism depending on the writer, but who is generally not allowed to act directly against institutions (Wolfman, Morrison, Waid, Byrne, and Maggin for example all have WILDLY different takes on the relationship between superman and Authority). My personal favorite Take is that Clark as a person is not establishmentarian, but the establishment of superheroes and their conduct codified (or calcified, if you prefer) itself around him and his personal conduct. Both in a Doylist sense and in the continuities where he's the First Superhero a Watsonian one. How does your behavior change when you know people are looking to you to determine what's right and what's allowed for themselves? How does that constrict you, when your actions are dissected and taken for justification? That's why I always think of him as a person whose natural inclination is to be chaotic good, but who restrains himself into being lawful good. Clark would sure LIKE to Solve Capitalism. But he both can't, and will never be allowed to... and that tension, far from being a bad thing, can fuel a good interpretation.

#all this bc i saw a take essentially saying clark fights systems and bruce helps individuals. and i'm like. #i fucking wish they'd let him fight systems. but they don't. he can't. to say that's the fundamental difference is an artificial distinctio #between bruce and clark for the sake of differentiation when really they're very similar. i get it contrast is interesting but #Actually They're Both Firemen #clark kent #golden age clark my beloved #superman #meta #anyway. im far more familiar with early superman than modern superman but part of that is bc by reputation he's swung more #into establishmentarianism which makes me either snzzzz or actively Seethe depending on the skill of the writer. so additions welcome

there is a difference between being born to a throne, maliciously vying for a throne, stealing a throne, and having a throne thrust upon you when you are already in the midst of an identity crisis. And I fear Loki's place in the line of succession has people unable to differentiate between any of these

#you can't really argue he planned the extent of Thor's downfall #that was all Odin #Loki didn't force Thor to invade Jotunheim he isn't even the one who gave Thor the idea -- Thor did that all on his own! #that he was doing waswasa @ thor didn't help but wasn't really crime worthy on its own #Thor himself took time convincing the other warriors to be okay with the trip despite the treason and danger involved #like. what. Thor can't differentiate good advice from bad and is emotionally volatile and reckless and that's Loki's fault? #THOR was the one who got them past Heimdall too #the entire ordeal inadvertently showed off the favouritism Thor was receiving in comparison to Loki #even though Loki was the one supposedly so easily influencing Thor to such an extent #call Thor a puppet the way he--wait. no. that sounds weird. uhhhhh #you get the point #people will claim Loki was all up in there rearranging Thor's mental processes to cause his downfall #when really it was Loki doing the bare minimum instigation and watching things only devolve from there #because Thor WAS reckless and immature ?? and he WAS quick to anger and enjoyed exerting his power with violence ?? #Loki didn't STEAL THE THRONE FROM THOR he literally just is implied to undermine the coronation #that's not even confirmed but we assume it's true that he let the frost giants in near the casket etc. #Loki has his own actual crimes that he did against Thor and hugging his bro's arm and saying 'you're soooooo strong and correct' was not on #even if you manage to argue Loki was cheering Thor on for the invasion (he wasn't) it was clearly to dob Thor in with Odin #which he did when he had some guard inform Odin #that Odin's chosen punishment was for Thor's disobedience aside stop blaming Loki for the damage ODIN inflicted on him #focus on Loki making up lies to Thor about how Odin died instead like at least Loki DID SOMETHING for that #you can even ascribe as evil a motive as you want there bc Loki was slipping fr #twirling his hair and telling Thor he's smarter about the realm's safety than the king was on the normal scale #you want to talk morals go look at how eager Thor was to invade mass destroy and massacre in the other realm #and expected Odin to 'finish them off! together!' bc he was power high on whatever bloodlust pheromones battle apparently imitates for him #sigh. this is why you can't have nice things Thor. no Loki you're barely any better. sit down. have a cookie.

Damian Wayne by Bruno Redondo.

#I was waiting for him to confirm it was Damian before posting it #the difference between how he drew his hair here and how he draws his hair official covers is sad #is there like a rule at DC that obligate all artist to give Damian ugly spikey hair when he's around his brothers to help differentiate him? #cuz this is his personal work so I'm assuming he drew him like he wants to #Damian Wayne

It is vital to my perception of their characters that Link is *selectively mute* *un-breaking stare because eye contact is 'important'* *doesn't even realize there was a social cue for him to miss* autistic, while Ravio is *nervous babbling about special interest* *bunny hat over eyes so he doesn't have to make eye contact* *pretends he didn't miss all the social cues and definitely broke that social norm on purpose* autistic, and Zelda is *rambling incessantly about hyperfixation of the week* "I wonder what's this red button do!?" *stares at painting & dissociates into daydream for hours unmoving* ADHD, while Hilda is *no articulatable thoughts just always internally screaming* "...maybe I shouldn't have pressed the red button..." *vibrating out of her skin with anxiety at being expected to stay still for even a second* ADHD.

#legend of zelda #a link between worlds #link #ravio #zelda #hilda #autistic headcanon #adhd headcanon #i might be projecting a little hard with both girls but I'm right #not all the nd things for them just the ones that majorly differentiate between the counterparts #like both princesses are gonna press the red button #but Zelda thinks about it and announces it first (giving Link time to save her) #while Hilda just presses the red button without thinking and stares at the explosion absolutely regretting her choice (and Ravio facepalms) #loz #loz albw #albw #neurodivergent headcanon #this is also why im 100% convinced that hilda has courage and ravio has wisdom rather than the other way around like in hyrule

Andrew Minyard puts on his black combat boots and black armbands. He wears his black hoodie because Andrew is not like other boys. His newest teammate Neil Josten has an aura of danger that Andrew knows he is better off not getting close. But Andrew cannot help it. He is like a moth drawn to a flame. Neil’s untamed auburn hair that is never styled yet it is messy in an effortless way and his big blue orbs that must have a lot of hidden secrets. Andrew knows he should not play with fire but with that toned body Andrew minyard can not stay away.

Whatever, not like Neil josten would notice him anyways. He is the outcast in his teams and no one likes him. Neil josten would not care about him.

Imagine Andrew’s surprise when Neil josten joins him on the roof and shares his secrets. Andrew is right, Neil has a very dark past that is even darker than Andrew’s. Neil is involved in the mafia! But because Andrew is not like other boys he does not care and promise to protect Neil even though Andrew probably cannot do anything if anything happens. Neil probably has to be the one to save Andrew.

Neil also turns out to be loaded and he buys Andrew a car when his was destroyed and Andrew cannot say no to a Maserati.

Everyone else on the team is so shock when super attractive good looking Neil josten will choose to be with someone like Andrew minyard but Neil does not care and growls at anyone that says anything bad about Andrew.
