#and got replaced by an old man

[crimson-nail]

whenever i draw characters a lot i like to have little references for myself on how i draw their features… and design notes :)

#charlie’s art #trigun maximum #VERY happy with knives and milly tbh #unfortunately i am in the trigun fav trenches out here #two late manga-exclusive #one hasn’t even shown UP in the shiny new modern reboot #and got replaced by an old man #and the last one. #has one of the most divisive inconsistent fanon interpretations i’ve seen since j*ang ch*eng #it’s hell out here. im so lonely #why couldn’t i just have liked vw like a normal person #anyways. millydira knivio got that bouba and kiki effect #milly thompson #elendira the crimsonnail #millions knives #livio the double fang #razlo the tri punisher of death

I can’t help but wonder if, despite being in his thirties, this is Alan’s first time falling in love.

He has no idea what to do at any point and is generally acting like a love struck teenager with the added pressure that Jeff is just…so much younger than him. So now not only does he not know what to do, he seems well aware of the fact that way he would try going about it, is VERY different from the way people Jeff’s age would.

#pit babe #pit babe the series #alanjeff #jeffalan #it’s millennial v gen z dating #and alan is completely lost #jeff please just take pity on the old man #quick where is that one gay chicken show meme about loving the old man v making sure he needs a hip replacement when you’re done with him #because that need to be jeff right now #make sure that old man needs a hip replacement when you done with him #jeff needs to take a page out of rain’s book and show alan what a good rider he is #these tags got thirsty by the end #cap watches pit babe #cap speaks

i am never going to recover from the death shroud radio play actually

#liz blogs #fallout 4 #death shroud #its been in my watch later for like 3 months now and i just got around to listening to it all the way through #its got everything. its got nick valentine. it's got Funny Bits. it's got amazing universe writing. it's got a mystery. #its got nick valentine again. yes i'll mention him twice he's my peepaw :) nice old man #i should have expected That Ending with Those Voice Actors Present but i was still Unprepared for where that went #demonicae #bitch. i get it now. i get what you meant by 'it was relevant to my interest in more ways than one.' holy shit #that ending was crack to my brain i tell you #it starts like 'oh yeah thismight as WELL be canon though' and ends like 'oh my god thats so delightfully silly and fanfic-y. ... but still #-relatively in the bounds of canon even with that premise.' its good. oh my god its good #obscure videogame crack lore about glados and claptrap dating my beloved. that's the stupidest shit i ever seen (affectionate) #now THAT is a crackship. they are SO divorced #i was not ready for any of that oh my fucking GODDDDD hELP ME #also i never considered nora and danse dating but actually. thats really funny. she has a type. she just replaced her fucking husband #its basically the same guy twice.

Sunshine Institute story?? ‼️ OH OH I’M EXCITED-

Built so much for this silly story and in the end it's an oc x canon 🫶 cowardly old bald man filled with regret and a longing for something more, doomed by the narrative and forced to conform to the will of a god who is no longer himself... meets a tired soul who has spent his whole life in the shadow of those above him, sent below the bedrock, submitting to the will of the universe with no real idea of what he had just done... only to once again be placed second in the ranking, an even darker shadow cast over him.

It's ok tho they're just silly billies !!

#I'll introduce Vice soon I think. He's very silly I think you'd like him #basically Vice is the Warden's erm.. Vice Warden.. bc of a big dramatic crying session from the Warden after Romeo tried to replace him #he made Vice second in command instead bc he didn't want to deal with his whining #also bc the institute was falling apart at this point and Romeo didn't want to deal with it #but he knew he could drop the workload on the Warden and Vice without argument #plus Romeo likes to prove himself right #so if Vice could handle things better in five minutes than the Warden could in fifteen years #he'd feel that rush of power again #there is a LOT more to it than that #like derealisation. the Warden losing his eye. there's a genuinely important game of chess in the void. it's a crazy intro #and like Vice's bacstory in general deals with Ellegaard and I have a whole thing built with the warden and carmine OUGH there is a lot #but the main story generally follows the Warden and Vice falling for each other and understanding each other's struggles :] #the power imbalance quickly fades as the warden starts realising that woah.. this guy respects me beyond me just telling him what to do... #wahhh I don't want to give away all of it #but I got like. a big oxblood story in there too. he has a big storyline with Vice. #OUGH I'm TERRIBLE at explaining but I PROMISEEEE IT'S SO MUCH COOLER THAN I EXPLAINED #very silly but also genuinely tragic story #romeo just didn't predict the old man yaoi when he appointed Vice

There is not a single homely thing that, looked at from a certain angle, does not become fairy. Think of the Dapple, or the Dawl, when they roll the sunset towards the east. Think of an autumn wood, or a hawthorn in May. A hawthorn in May — there’s a miracle for you! Who would ever have dreamed that that gnarled stumpy old tree had the power to do that? Well, all these things are familiar sights, but what should we think if never having seen them we read a description of them, or saw them for the first time? A golden river! Flaming trees! Trees that suddenly break into flower! For all we know, it may be Dorimare that is Fairyland to the people across the Debatable Hill

I’m midway through Giant Robo and as much as I hate to point out something that reminds me of getter bc I say every mecha I’ve watched since has been very different:

I immediately notices two characters who have green hair and not only did I call they were siblings just based off of that but they are related to a mad dead scientist. I am once again wondering if Imagawa had the Kei is Genki plot point from the start and the team still used it after he left because this scarily aligns with what fucking happens later in arma. Like I heard he took his script with him but there is- so much foreshadow in the eps he did to the entire family plot line that unfolds in arma. So many lines Saotome saids about Go alluding to he’s a clone, a line from Musashi pointing out Genki is different, even Genki always had that yellow shirt in group photo that upon a second look feels like a *girl* would wear it and not a boy, but they have the cap still. Not to mention like I’ve said in a couple recent post MANY times is the weird factor that Kei originally was a side character, even my one friend pointed this out. Sure, she does show up in the manga when Sho isn’t around much and she did pilot shin getter during that point, but it’s not like she did much since Ryoma was doing the fighting for that section and then she died.

Also just the fact Kei is two characters merged into one is something imagawa would’ve done, given his other works he’s Frankensteining all these characters together and Giant Robo predated Arma, it’s not out of line for him to do something like this again especially when he keeps the same story telling beat of throwing his viewers into it and not explaining a thing. (Also I haven’t seen G gundam but KNOW family is a theme there for him too)

I’m always gonna go insane whether or not what we got in arma was actually lacking Imagawas original vision or not but this made me go more insane.

#meg text #getter robo #giant robo #also I’m sorry if this evolved into another getter tangent and not a lot about giant robo #I like it so far but I’m waiting until I finish it to sort my thoughts given this is a shorter one #also a lot is going on LMAO #my only guess now with imagawas OG script is like- the dinosaurs would've been around and the hayato framing would be addressed #shin dragon would be more of a horrifying thing then what we got at the end #ryoma would PROBABLY be around the whole time so I don’t think Kei would’ve replaced him #and ig the tone would be more intense the whole time where as it kinda calm down a bit #man I still want the story of the drama to be revealed but it probably won’t ever happen #it’s a two decade old show and imagawa happy doing whatever now there’s no reason to touch it #but I’m always gonna theorize about this more then actual getter stuff /hj #also funny how Kei doesn’t have a weird apparent powers bc I hear that’s a common thing with imagawa #But go took her place ig

I really didn't end up liking my remake of this, but i still think it's better than the original at least enough to replace the old sketch, [top left/first drawing] so i'm going to go ahead and post it. you can find Chapter 2 here of Ghost of Mine! If you haven't read any yet, make sure to check it out and tell me what you think!

i actually ended up liking the sketch of the new version the best, and after removing the rendering i did i liked the lines better, but still- i'm much happier with the mood of the non-rendered sketch i did but it still wasn't what i was going for pff not tired enough!

Every day I am SO sad because the M&L series were trying SO SO hard to make E.Gadd a character outside of Luigi's Mansion and then they just stopped using him.

#the early 2000's is so interesting to ke wheb it comes to E.Gadd specifically #cause it was obvious they were trying to get this man to be a series regular but alas he's in Luigi's Mansion jail for the rest of time #cause he was in Superstar Saga and more notably a pretty major character in Partners in Time #but even just stuff like immediately in 2002 him being the creator of FLUDD and like #every day i am SO sad because he was supposed to be a driver in Mario Kart DS but was replaced by Dry Bones #i'd be less sad if he ever got into Tour cause i expected if anything we'd get him there #I WANNA SEE THAT OLD MAN DRIVE A GO KART FNCJCHDJDF #FUCKING POOCHIE GOT INTO TOUR FBDBFHCHXBSF

[bobzora]

there are some bits of what they did with the rooftop scene that i like and others where i was like :/ this isn't as good as it could be. and this is an important scene lmao

#bobtalk #p3reposting #this is also a scene where i'm really attached to the old translation. so lol. #still sad that we dont have you will be given one year move forth without falter with your heart as your guide <- attached to this one also #also kind of split on the reload version of kimi no kioku. it's a good song no matter what though (the best persona song in general) #(no arguments there. nobody does it like my goat kimi no kioku.) (the reload version is good ive decided btw) #IN GENERAL. the reload cutscenes. well. the production value is higher or whatever than the original. #but man they're just. not as good im sorry. im the most annoying person in the world possibly but #i think the worst offender by FAR is the opening cutscene because the original was so striking and well directed. and reload's just does NO #hit the same at allllll. major loss imo #the awakening is the runner up when it comes to lost oomph. as one would expect lol #that's a thing with the remake like it's modernized and higher production value and it looks GREAT. and i LIKE a lot of its changes #i really do. tartarus has never been nicer to explore #but in the process there are quite a few spots where it's lost some of its. artistic vision(?) i guess. #anyway reload second persona game for me to physically cry during lmao. voice acting in the sun SL second last day scene got me #i think my main takeaway from reload is that it doesn't replace the originals. but of course it was never going to. and at the end of the #day. i'm glad it exists. i had a good time...and now i'm going to rest. lol

I should replay botw

#gonna be honest not a fan of how the zonai dominated totk #or good chunks of the story… #the ending rlly kinda killed my desire to play #like w botw I was a little disappointed that there wasn’t a post-botw state to dick around in #but when totk did it it was like…. idk man. #the whole thing was just. eh. to me #like Zelda is a damsel in distress and insecure again who needs to unlock some secret power #and the criticism that the old champions didn’t get a lot of characterization wasn’t fucking. they did the same thing w the sages and we don #don’t even know their names!! #and how the zonai existing rlly throws the timeline into disarray #and p much replaced the sheikah which ymmv but I didn’t like it #and we got a singular CRUMB of ganon characterization #which was FINE when he was just a big beast but now he’s a person and he’s clearly got stuff going on #cool plot threads abound and none of them are picked up and expounded upon #Sigh. #I should replay botw #also the Fuckin. loyalty vow ceremony whatever they do post game w Zelda and the kingdom of hyrule #I know loz is like. feel-good divine right of kings the video game series but come on man #I honestly wish Sonia had been hylia incarnate and rauru her chosen knight like ppl were theorizing #who fought against demise the very first time #or. idk something #just not who was part of a totally cool ancient race that were revered as gods!!!1!1! #*a guy who was

I want to be someone who has smart and interesting things to say about shows/movies that I like - like when I tried to convince my friends that they really need to watch Leverage. that would have been useful! instead I'm just like 'it's sooo good I like it so much I love all the characters they're all so awesome 🥰'

my thoughts are generally just like.

ooh he soo prettyyy. I want to braid his hair. hehe he punched someone. look at his lil face 🥰 baby boi. pretty smile his mouth is so nice I like his teeth. chest hair. hands! arms arms arms 🤤 his eyes are so pretty. oooh blood on his face, blood on his face! he's growling. annd his voice is all raspy again. I wonder [many many redacted thoughts]. ooh now he's in danger oh noo 😏

there's a bunch of 'she's so pretty' and 'I love her' somewhere in between all that too but mostly it's just. very, very stupid

#and I wonder why I don't remember the plot of probably half the leverage episodes #I'm rewatching it with my partner now and it was. definitely interesting. how I remembered pretty much everything from season 1. annd it #got so much worse after that #I wonder why that could be :') #I have said at least half of these things out loud just during the last episode I watched #I am so fucking stupid for this man #no thoughts just 😍 #my brain melts and gets replaced with just pictures of Eliot with hearts drawn all over them like I'm a creepy stalker but also 12 years old #and tbh probably half of it is actually just. oh I need him. I want him. I love him. #do you sometimes wonder why some people feel the need to share every goddamn thought they have no matter how dumb it is? #why? oh no reason. me? oh no I don't do that I'm so normal! #hey at least I didn't once mention how fighting him and fucking him would definitely not fix anything but tbh yeah no it totally would #it really would #annnd now I'm losing my mind again and I better shut up before it gets even worse #like fuck it's like I literally lose the ability to form a single coherent thought #I've had thoughts about shows before! I'm capable of that! but not wjrn #there's a man. #ugh. horrible. bad. so stupid #(but he's hot and I want him and) #(oh crap now he's really in danger oh no I don't like it oh don't hurt my baby 😭) #(oh thank god now he's hitting people again. phew.) #anyway shut up shut up shut uppp #personal

[lesbeidou]

nothing like having a chill day at work so i can sit back and enjoy watching ell*ot g*ndi single-handedly destroy his own career 🤌🏻

#fox posts #if it’s not obvious this blog is a safe space for survivors (being one myself!) #but so nice to not have my boss in today bc i’m just munching on snacks and watching this man dig his own grave. having a blast #i wonder if they’ll replace tighnari’s voice tho like they did with Oz’s old CN (?) VA before he got outed #can’t remember if it was the CN or JP VA…

Oh man that ask earlier about how people change and therefore their struggles change/wane with them is so food for thought because. It's about mirrors and reciprocate. It's about snapshots of oneself that don't quite fit anymore but are undeniably sourced from you. It's about puzzle pieces made to match without a counterpart anymore. It's about finding once again what used to chip you at the edges. It's about walking alongside a smudged reflection delayed in time. It's seeing that old teeth don't match your carves on your skin anymore

#answering asks #mariuszahhak #through hels and high water #helsmits #yeah nothing to add to this you've got the vibe exactly #and absolute poetry for words man that's fantastic description #its about clay constantly molded #its about shaping something with your hands and its imperfections defining it from the sum of its counterparts #its about old woulds turning to old scars turning fresh skin #its about a knife that doesn't make the same cut twice #its about problems that dont diminish but are instead replaced by more pertinent ones #its about a struggle that seems small in hindsight but significant in the moment #and its about the insurmountable thing breaking the horizon in front of you
