Kingdom Hearts 3 - Nobodies

#kingdom hearts 3 #kh3 #nobodies #dusk #sniper #reaper #ninja #gambler #berserker #sorcerer #my gif #i'm a nobody enjoyer so of course i'm gonna make another set with them #nobodies are so reflective in this game i wonder if it they were originally intended to look this way #it would have been difficult to visually convey that in the old engine since lighting and shadows were all drawn onto the texture map #but that's not an issue anymore since there are far less lighting and graphical restrictions #anyways i'm glad we got a couple new nobodies #because their designs rule #i love how the one that represents marluxia can morph its body to look like the pod that sora slept in at castle oblivion #while the one that represents larxene has flowy scarf tails that are reminiscent of her unique hairstyle. the knife hands are cool

Sketches of Nya from Hands of Time and Skybound!!

The outgrown Bob haircut phase

#i want a Nya suit to have Black as the main colour in her suit again pls #pls pls pls #Anyway this haircut is the point where she starts considering growing her hair out #hands of time and Skybound changed aspects of who she was and her life so it seemed natural for her to let herself physically change as well #fanart #lego ninjago #ninjago #lego ninjago fanart #ninjago fanart #ninjago nya #nya smith #nya jiang #Nya means sm to me and her character development and change through time matters sm to me #i think her hair has had many phases #representing who she was who she is and who she will be #Skybound was her turning point she was now apart of the team and not just kais sister of jays girlfriend #she was nya so she wanted to change her appaerence so she could put a distance between her past self #idk this is just a ramble nya just makes me insane

Things I never get tired of writing

weird cultural worldbuilding, especially with strange, intricate social norms and power dynamics

characters playing little made up card games with implied bizarre, convoluted rules where I blatantly rip off the vibe of Pokemon, MTG, Duel Monsters/Yugioh etc

we see one of my favs from an outside POV: they are hot, badass, terrifying, tragic, or any/all of the above

#bullet point two is less represented in my writing over all but it is on my mind because it's what I'm writing at the moment lmao #still very amused by the motorcity fic where Chuck and his nerd buddies were playing ''Enchantment: The Convocation'' #you don't have to make up rules you just have to pepper in there shit like #''(X) lays down two golden spires and activates //Dread Encumbrance of the Pilgrim//.'' #i find it incredibly fun to make that shit up and also it gives people something to do with their hands in between dialogue lines lmao

You can tell the ofmd writers really understand queer people by how they show the most repressed and tense motherfucker turning into the queerest queen in town with the help of 5 min of affection and glitter eyebrows

I know I joked about how there was no reason for Izzy to be shirtless in that scene (and I stand by that) but I think it is really interesting how he is bare-chested. His leathers are a part of his image and reputation. They are part of what marked him as Blackbeard's. But more than that, they represent armor - in taking off his leather armor, he is bearing his vulnerabilities, and more precisely, his heart.

When Izzy is training, he isn't in his room. He is in a communal part of the ship, where, presumably, any one of the crew could enter. When Stede enters, he doesn't become defensive at being found in a vulnerable state. Instead he says "I'm having to relearn the basics with one leg." He openly admits to his weakness. He is the best sword fighter, that is his reputation, how he defines his worth (in his use as an incredibly fighter), but he didn't lie about the struggle of having to adapt to one leg. He didn't even try to down-play it by saying he was adjusting or refining his sword fighting with one leg. He outright says he is relearning.

Then (the showoff) Izzy demonstrates what he has been practicing. Now, he has just said he is relearning it - we can assume that he was better at this before he lost his leg. He shows Stede (who, to be fair, Izzy would know would probably be impressed regardless) something he is still working on. Not something he has perfected.

Then he turns his back to Stede. Without his armor on, having just admitted to a weakness.

Even when he asks 'but what did he say about me specifically,' he is showing vulnerability. His heart (and great tits) are in the middle of the shot when he shows Stede that he cares what Blackbeard has to say about him.

The lack of Izzy's leather armor/vest, and showing his bare chest (is much appreciated) is symbolic of his trust in the crew and in Stede. He shows his vulnerabilities and his shortcomings, when previously he never would, for fear of the crew losing respect for him.

The crew has seen him at his lowest, and came together to support him, showing him that he was a part of the crew and that they cared for him, not just what he was useful for, which is something that Izzy has ever experienced before.

This is not a man who expected kindness at his lowest point.

This, however, is a man who has found purpose because his crew cares about him.

Izzy took off the all-black leather armor which defined him as Blackbeard's, and in doing so, he showed his heart and his trust to the crew.

#this turned into an incoherent rambling #to be completely honest #it never was coherent #i have to many thoughts for that #but yeah that scene represents how he is changing from being blackbeard's to being the revenge crew's #and how he trusts the crew #and that he trusts that the crew don't only care about his usefulness and ability to do his job #and also how he wants to be better for the crew #ofmd #izzy hands #mine #con o'neill #ofmd s2 #ofmd meta

#byler #mike wheeler #will byers #elmike #el hopper #stranger things #kydraws #reddit link jumpscare /hj but i couldnt find another place to link im too sleepy 😩 #some notes! due to misconceptions ive seen: #in my mind this is meant to be a mike centric piece representing him feeling torn between his feelings for will and the sortve #the comfort of normalcy he has being with el? (+ societal pressures). #the painting replaces the sword here to symbolize like the *thing* setting things off in mike's mind if that makes sense #the want and hope that the painting was a gift from will (the one he wants to be with) yet dealing with the conflicting feelings #of the painting actually being from el (obviously this isnt the case but lets say he fully believes will's lie about it being from her) #which is why both will and el are touching the painting but will has the paint on his hands (as well as having more of a grasp on it) #this is not meant to be a humorous piece! idk why i saw ppl implying this is meant to be a joke or mean towards el bc its absolutely not om #aand the from el tag was just mean being in a goofy mood lol wanted to add more cheesy symbolism #oh oh! and you can absolutely view this with bi mike in mind 😌💗

john as a heir who inherits the narrative freely, doesnt even know that he has the narrative, and barely changes it unless hes being directed to by some outside force (breath as directionless, independent, detatched, free). john as a character whos never existed at the same time as an alternate version of him, a character who never has to face himself and remains largely unchanged by the end of the narrative even as it changes around him

ult dirk as a prince who destroys the narrative and destroys through the narrative, who is determined to reshape it in his own image and 'fix' it, who will make himself the villain if thats what it takes and do whatever he has to in order to help everyone, even if it means hurting them (heart as putting on and taking off masks when needed, inflexible, cold, building a coherent narrative of their own story). dirk as a character who constantly has to face himself via one of his many alternate selves, who can only gain control by uniting those alternate selves into one coherent whole

john is homestuck and ult dirk is homestuck post canon and one of the first things he does when he gains power is kill john (kill homestuck) through the narrative. destroying the (previously free, directionless, detatched) narrative and destroying that narrative through your own (inflexible, cold) narrative. theyre so yaoi

#i have a point here #its not coherent but its there #arguably #ult dirk and john parallels driving me insane #and how they represent the differences between homestuck and post canon #ult dirk as a representation for post canon as a whole works far too well imo #she should transition and kick his ass #the former bearer of the narrative vs the current bearer who had to FIGHT for it while john just had it handed to him #the guy who faces himself constantly vs the definition of repression #orange vs blue #this doesnt even have to necessarily be a dirkjohn post tbh its just interesting to me #it is also yaoi in my mind though #dirkjohn #ult dirkjohn #me.txt #homestuck #homestuck beyond canon #john egbert #ult dirk #dirk strider

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xiao xingchen #xue yang #a-qing #As I sit here and type out my thoughts I realize that the last panel looks like A-Qing is crushing XY's candy...oops. #she's supposed to be crunching her *own* wrapper for dramatic effect. XY's candy is still in XXC's hand. #Hes still standing there. 180 degrees out of frame. Which is where your heart is! MEANING: XXC is in your heart right now #holding out a little piece of candy that has yet to be taken. #This comic was so close to being on the chopping block. Honestly I'm still not sure I should have kept it in #but I liked this scene a lot*** and tbh the yi-city arc isn't around for much longer. Let them have fun while it lasts. #not to mention I have few opportunities to build up spanish speaking XXC. And we are close to the pay off. #XY is in his 'oh god I need to start learning the basics of this language or I will drown' phases. Lets see how well he does! #***The candy represents so much! It's a symbol of unobtainability! Of comfort and status! Both A-qing and XY crave candy as much as they- #-crave those 'unobtainables'! XY has money to by candy (part of status) but he lacks love and comfort is his life! #So XXC offering them this little piece of candy is more than just a treat! It's a piece of love! #But as sweet as candy is....it cannot last.... #(this also makes the scene where XY disrupts A-Qing's comfort by offering candy very interesting to analyze)
