I've never even drawn kaiman with his dick out. you know who I've drawn with his dick out though? elfo from disenchantment.

Have a gold star...
I swear, I started this as a wholesome innocent comment on how when Crowley has to think of a prize, after 6000+ years, his sweet head still goes to stars as the ultimate symbol of something beautiful and cherished.
Tumblr media
But then I was struck by something: sarcasm.
Both times, when he tells someone to "have a gold star," he doesn't say it with a tone of affectionate irony, like the cool-but-sweet uncle with a rough personality but a soft heart. He says it with a tone of bitter sarcasm, of painful disenchantment.
Because it's not a prize that he is offering; it's a sop, a cruel joke-gift, something that will get you excited at first just because you have a stupid, naive, innocent soul, and you will later realize that it means nothing to the one who assigned it to you, and that they are ready to take it away whenever they want, while the rest of the world laughs at your ridiculous gullibility.
Because this is what stars were for him.
Tumblr media
They were his beloved, exciting creation. The star-factory nebula was his cherished task, assigned to him by God, and he believed that it was meant to be a thing of beauty and splendor, and hold value in the grand scheme of the universe... only to discover, immediately after he created it, that it was never intended to have any value at all. It meant nothing to God. It wasn't even planned to last enough to fullfill its purpose. It was a joke, a cruel prank. 
The stars were God's bad pun of giving angel!Crowley something to do, and love, and have hope and expectations for, and then taking it away. Revealing that it was just a shiny piece of gold cardstock that only a simpleton could consider valuable. Of course he can only say "have a gold star" as a dry snarky sarcastic comment on someone who thinks they have achieved something meaningful when it's actually nothing. Be it the Them defeating the Four Horsemen. Be it Muriel being noticed by the Metatron.
Great, sure, have a gold star, be all excited and squealing with happiness, it will turn into ashes before you even know it.
I am not sure that Crowley's snake eyes were ever intended to signal that he cannot see the stars because snakes have bad vision (even ignoring the zoological fact that they are sensitive to UV light though, so they should still see astronomical objects, in the book it says that demons must be able to see at night, and that's why Crowley doesn't need to turn on the lights on the Bentley), but for sure the Fall and Heaven's cruelty has ruined the stars for him, in a way.
Now, in his mind, they are the ultimate symbol of delusion, of naivety, of foolishly investing your love and passion and hopes in something, of stupidly ignoring that the things you cherish will be ruined or taken away from you or leave you on their own accord.
That's also why Aziraphale's "nothing lasts forever" cuts him so deep. That's why his "no... no, I dont' suppose it does" sounds so much like a truth that he is remembering instead of one that he has jsut discovered.
Here you go, you did it again, you thought you had something significant and instead it was just like your stars, you should have known that whenever you find something beautiful it's just a matter of time before you lose it, you shouldn't get too attached.
In s1e6 he says it to the Them, in s2e6 he says it to Muriel. I do hope that in s3e6 he will get the chance to say it again, but this time it will be honest and out of joy, because whatever is going to happen will make him able again to believe that you can be happy, and can hold onto the good things that you love. You can have all the gold stars, for real. They don't always have to disappear and leave you in pain. They can stay with you.

DISENCHANTMENT PART FIVE SEMI-SCRIPT DOCTOR (ig)
Ok so, I would like to begin with the character deaths. I’ve got a lot of points but I’d like to start with death. (Also I might forget some stuff don’t kill me (also also forgive me for my lack of gifs n pics :( ))
Luci dies for seemingly no reason other than to make him an angel and bring mora back, two exceedingly stupid reasons in my opinion. We have already been served the point that Luci is a really good person- for example, WHEN THEY SENT HIM TO HEAVEN THE FIRST TIME. The only thing he does in heaven is be there when jerry kills god, which does practically nothing besides -now getting into my second point- bring mora back. Now, I know that sounds mean but if you think for more than a second you may realize we already have a pretty available means to bring mora back, THE ETERNITY PENDANT! It’s pretty apparent that this last part was rushed and since we already know where the pendant is we could use that pretty useless b-plot time for things much more important AND we KEEP LUCI ALIVE! Then we could also make bean choosing to bring mora back with the pendant a direct parallel to the whole Elfo death debacle! A GIANT BEAUTIFUL FUCK YOU IN DAGMAR’S FACE! Now, in terms of Elfo you may already know I do not enjoy the Elfo-Miri relationship, but I swear I have good, non-gay propaganda reason.
So, as you may remember, Elfo is already the heir to a throne. The ogre throne. And as we see at the end, Miri would’ve ended up queen no matter what. (And I do think giving the kingdom back to the elves and having Miri be one and rule was a good idea btw) so why the hell did we get a very rushed and ,supposedly, very important relationship with one of our MAIN CHARACTERS. Them being together does fuckin NOTHING and once again WASTES MORE TIME WE DONT HAVE! We could’ve made even more time for more important plot lines and Elfo still ends up a royal. SHABAM another problem solved!
Okay, now I wanna talk about characterization. Starting with Luci.
Luci is, through provided evidence, a really genuinely sweet thing. So why thE FUCK is he so into being satan’s son and extensively, torture, this season? At the very least they could’ve given him SOME hangups! He has grown so much since the first season and yet they continue to ignore that. It’s very frustrating :(.
Alright, elfo’s turn. I don’t have much to complain about regarding him this part but, blegh. I think my biggest hangup about him is how he reacts to luci’s death, the whole thing just feels eerily wrong. Though I suppose with my rewrite we don’t have to worry about anyone’s reactions to luci’s death so,,
WEPA! Bean time! I DO NOT LIKE THAT SHE LEFT WITH NO GOODBYE! I HATE IT ACTUALLY! bean is so incredibly attached to her boys and they have changed her life for the better, literally reigniting her WILL TO LIVE! She would never in a million years abandon either of them. I do support her decision to leave dreamland and I do find that in character but everything else just feels wroongg,, also why push the whole ‘choose love’ thing if she ends up abandoning her best friends?
This one’s short but zøg one billion percent should’ve had a proper goodbye with bean and I don’t understand why he didn’t.
Also get rid of all the ‘I’m gonna destroy the magic’ stuff. Still have bean be pretty irked towards magic but also have her be all “ magic ruined my life but I kinda need it for the whole killing my mom thing”.
Probably also retcon alva’s whole plan cuz It doesn’t really make sense. AND NOW WE’VE GOT EVEN MORE TIME!
I know I definitely missed some stuff but this stuff irks me the most 100% hope you guys like this strange not very well put together rewrite :) 👍

disenchantment spoilers i guess but everyone is mad about elfo and luci and im just. feeling very :// about mora.
i dont talk about this much but when i first watched golden wind the sorbet-gelato thing touched me in a really bad place and i talk about this a bit more but i really dont mind gay characters (or characters that just radiate that energy but arent canonically gay - tiz and squalo namely) dying in golden wind because it doesnt feel targeted. like theyre killed because many people die in the series not because theyre queer, personally i can work with that.
in disenchantment it felt a bit like a fake punch to see if i flinch, even though i suspected they wont just kill off the mc's sapphic love interest for shock value it felt a bit below the belt? like i still had to watch bean mourning her for a painfully long time, it felt a bit cheap. bean feeling lonely and wanting someone that loves and understands her on this level has been a theme for 5 entire seasons and im not a fan of being made to feel like it was all for nothing and even though she figured out who she loves she doesnt actually deserve to be with her.
its probably because in jojo there isnt really a romantic storyline like that in... any part tbh (not counting erina and suzi bc finding them isnt really the main jojo's goal or a big part of the story they just meet and decide "oh we must marry"). if i was shown how desperate cioccolata or secco or idk was to find someone that loves and accepts them for most of golden wind or if that was at least one of giorno's biggest personal goals in life only for his love interest to then get killed off in the last episodes i would like that show a lot less. like that would be cruel and earn the title of "bury your gays" and disenchantment reviving mora in the last minute wasnt satisfying enough for me to just forgive that entirely.
(i could also go off about the difference between how the two shows handle random revivals and fakeout deaths but thats a suitcase for another day and i might be biased but spoiler, that bothers me a lot less in jojo too. like they dont do it so often death stops being meaningful in any way)

i just realized why i only read YA books. books for adults hardly ever have nuance. same with tv shows and movies. there are some good ones, like the Southern Reach trilogy, but even that is pretty YA. kids media is amazing these days. im talking Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, How To Train Your Dragon (including the books), Percy Jackson. i did watch Disenchantment, but it doesnt have much to say compared to HTTYD. im not saying Disenchantment is terrible, im saying its lacking in themes. HTTYD (the books) were written for middle schoolers and it has a complex story about the consequences of war, trauma, forgivness, etc. adult media seems like it was written by 13 year olds who just learned what sex is. thats why i dont watch or read anything R16

6, 10, 29 & 30 for the art ask game :3
6. Anything that might inspire you subconsciously (i.e. this horse wasn't supposed to look like the Last Unicorn but I see it)
im not sure? sometimes when i draw animals i draw them with pointy peets and i dont know where i got that from
maybe the animators behind futurama and disenchantment, i mean ive watched those plenty
10. Favorite piece of clothing to draw
CROP. TOPS. whether the character ends up wearing hip huggers for MAXIMUM TUMMY or high rise for a cyute lil sneak peak, its TOP TIER.
29. Media you love, but doesn't inspire you artistically
not much? if style wise it does nothing for me ill take tips from colours or designs or even writing. i think danganronpa sits at a solid "NO NO NO NO NO NO" tho. i like the characters for what the fandom has done, not the....... *gestures vaguely* that. i mean danganronpa doesnt do everything wrong but it does enough that i will not consider taking advice from it. the poses are awkward the style is stiff the colours are all grey-brown.
the designs CAN be good. but they can range from "this is neat" to "okay this doesnt super read as gyaru to me but i can see the inspiriation" to "this is SO BORING" to "WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?" i can enjoy some of them alone but i mean. i can only enjoy the girls clothes so much before asking "hey whyd you put all the girls including the gymnast in skirts except for the swimmer who gets booty shorts?"
30. What piece of yours do you think is underrated
ah. uh. thats tough. bcuz like. scrolling thru my art account. its pretty recent that i get likes? i think my hyperfixation pills are overrated if thats anything XD
probably the starting soon screen i animated. that challenged my skill the most. like im getting more confident in calling myself an animator (which is ridiculous ive been animating since 2019 i should be past this) but that really boosted my confidence in myself. id never really tried to use keyframes like that and that was the most detailed background i did for an animation.
im choosing this one bcuz it was the first one where i realized my family wasnt dazzled by my art anymore. i showed it off and instead of the usual "wow thats amazing howd you do it" i got "oh. cool."
i still think its great and im confident in it i just couldnt look at it for a few days after that lol

Shoots up in bed okay actually I think I've realized a big issue with disenchantment and why it's so exhausting and boring to watch despite the attempt to be so plot filled and dramatic
Long
Theres is a severe lack of filler episodes in the series, and there becomes less every season. By season 3, it seems like every episode is dedicated solely to moving the plot along, but in a frustratingly slowwww way. Theres sometimes filler B plots in the episodes , but more often than not all it does is new open plot threads and just leaving them open for ages or just trying them back into the same, unfinished plot threads that have never been concluded in since s1.
The story so badly wants us to care so much about these lost love interests or side characters dying but we dont, because there was absolutely no casusal time dedicated to getting to know and like those characters before they were thrown into the main story and killed off/dissapeared/otherwise absent for a long time
Like, pendergast (sp?) dying??? I dont have any significant recollection of him pre s3, the last episode he appears in he makes a monologue to Zog about how he always trusted and respected him most, then pendergast dies, and Zog goes insane upon seeing him dead and obsesses over him .... like ... how ironic coming from the creator of the same series that gave us the iconic "you cant just have your characters say how they feel, that makes me feel angry!" Like thats,,, all disenchantment does dhjfjfjsk
So going back to Luci and being frustrated about that weird lullaby he sings to Zog ....... luci had tons of side filler in previous seasons and probably one of the more well put together character arcs where we truly get to understand him-- hes a jerk with a heart of gold.
In theory, it would have been the exact filler I'm looking for, in the episode where luci is left behind to watch after Zog as his cat, gets annoyed and swaps himself out with a real talking cat, then gets jealous over Zog liking the cat better and wanting to be the center of attention again. Like that could have been a whole episode, not a side plot, and ending it with luci snuggling Zog on the bed would be an excellent end reinforcing what we know about luci and expanding his compassion and attachment to Zog
..instead, and this is how the series handles almost ALL the B plot/filler plot, at the last second OHH BUT THERES A TWIST!!!! A NEW PLOT THREAD !! LUCI IS EVIL! like.. why
It's exhausting. Like even for plot heavy series cartoons, you could still shuffle the episodes on Netflix and be entertained by the cast hijinks of the day (see: atla, su)
With disenchantment you can't. Every episode is packed with more information, and less closure, and every new whimsical place we visit just leads back to the main plot in the main kingdom
Like?? Does that make sense? It's a bit hard to articulate on the fly

lowkey from a literary analysis standpoint, disregarding that ash is considered the protagonist, could banana fish be considered a bildungsroman? the part that immediately hit me with the bildungsroman vibe and thematic elements was in the end, despite everything, eiji had to grow by going back to japan to confront that he didnt actually fit into the grandiose narrative that he so craved in new york. of course, many dont agree with the narrative decision of eiji returning back to his normal life (myself somewhat included HAHA), but it really hits the full circle narrative that novels like catcher in the rye do, i guess. of course, while we look at ash as holden caulfield, with the narrative of the bildungsroman, eiji is the one who moreso fits as the protagonist. this also could explain why ash, unable to change, dies in the end, showing that he wasnt the true main character attempting to find his own way, or at the same time even could be seen as full circle, but at the same time he never really ‘grew up’, i guess. so with that, the bildungsroman narrative with ash is incomplete, but is complete with eiji. with eiji, his narrative completely fits his leaving to try and find himself, loss of innocence, spurring disenchantment, becoming disillusioned with the grandiose sense of life he was chasing, and thus ‘growing’ by returning to what he was doing before in his place in society. idk where i was going with this but lowkey i might write more on the subject in the future lol

im fine, i swear... not like i need him again
the absolute car crash of a breakup between pico and his 'lover' was cataclysmic for the hitman, while the other seemed to leave it seemingly unscathed by any and all potential side effects of something that abrupt, we go into greater detail later. the last two months hadnt been ideal for the hitman to say the least, so many emotions to dig through, so many once happy memories turning to acid in his eyes over such a short amount of time, he didnt enjoy it to say the very least, the bare minimum, like how much effort the one kid puts into the team book report in grade school, but even less than that, and you know how little that is... dont act like you dont!
probably didnt help the prime material plane of existence for multiple dimension had torn open and began to fuse two planes of creation and destruction a few months back, each completely different with similar foundations at its simplest form.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"sonic, i have one question for you." pico asked as he took a seat.
"go ahead." sonic said taking a seat a decent space from pico.
"why are we on the wings of a plane right now?" the hitman asked as the plane started up, causing a reflex to hold onto the edge of the closest item for support.
"its fine! my little bro wont let her bring us anywhere even remotely near harms way!" sonic shouted back as tails started to fly them down the lakes in a general direction of the ocean.
"you trust him flying this thing?!" pico exclaimed over the wind whipping against both him and sonic, the blue rodent having righted himself into a standing position spreading his arms like wings a smirk on his face as the wind ran through his spines.
"course i do! my little bros been piloting this since we first met our boy knuckles, hell, maybe even before that!" sonic shouted before walking over to pico who was still holding on for dear life, hands latched onto the red metal of the tornado.
"good for you!" pico exclaimed before looking down finding miles upon miles of saltwater teeming with ocean life below the plane by only a few feet.
"come on man, grab my hand, everything will be fine." sonic said putting out a hand which was taken shakily pico pulling himself off the wing of the plane clutching onto sonics arm for dear life.
"im standing, happy?" pico asked before having sonic try to walk away pico following suite.
"good, now remove your entire body from my left arm, i think its going numb." sonic said having pico do as told taking a few moments before realizing he was standing on his own, not dead, alive just like when he was hyperventilating on the wing of the plane.
"why did you bring me out here again?" pico asked after gathering his senses from being in the middle of a fucking ocean on a plane mere feet from submerging.
"to talk about your 'little problem' youve been refusing to talk about lately." sonic said somewhat deadpan not even noticing pico flinching at the idea of doing so.
"dude, i swear im fine." pico said rubbing his shoulder somewhat nervously and... scared? yes scared at the thought of remembering let alone talking about it, out loud, to a real person.
"as if your fine, ive dealt with your type before, i can read you like an open book man, dont even try your paper thin lies." sonic said pressing a finger against the hitmans chest, just barely feeling the extra layer of fabric, sending off at least three alarms in sonics head to remove the hitmans jacket and see what happened.
which is exactly what the azure hedgehog did, almost knocking them to the unstable ground below them successfully removing the green jacket leaving the hitman in only a light white dress shirt, which did nothing to hide the gauze on his forearms and chest drenched in blood, now dry causing it to become somewhat stiff at the touch.
"its nothing, i can-!" pico was cut short midsentence by the azure hedgehog who bore a look of both disenchantment and shame in what his friend had become.
"when." sonic demanded before rapidly unbuttoning the shirt to check just how fresh the blood is.
"i swear im fine." pico said trying to defend himself.
"i said when didnt i?" sonic asked in a near murderous tone, that grew from fear instead of rage.
"it was a moment of weakness!" pico exclaimed, one step from pushing sonic into the drink.
"now tell me what he did to you that couldve caused this." sonic demanded before signalling tails to get to landing which was nearby and had a hut with proper medical attention.
"i dont even know at this point, we broke up just over two months ago, i dont even want to think of it anymore." pic said as he shoed sonic away from his beat up torso.
"i cant help if i cant know." sonic said, the phrase worked with knuckles, shadow, espio, rouge, blaze, silver, all of his friends, pico wouldnt be an exception.
"it happened when we where out on a walk, it was the late afternoon, the golden leaves falling, the sun setting... everything picture perfect, until he said those words..." pico said before finally collapsing onto his hands and knees, the gauze crinkling visibly at the sudden change in stance.
"what did he say?" sonic asked as he watched his friend slowly crumple in the his own two hands.
"'ive had enough of you' thats what he said..." pico said with a sniffle and a forced smile on his face looking at his hands and forearms as he slowly raised them into view, looking at the bloody gauze tape in pure disgust at himself and the things hes done.
"is that really what he said?" sonic asked as he slowly undid the tape on picos chest, looking at the gnarled scars on his back, most likely from fights and not self destruction, but the real prize where the near perfect horizontal slashes across his chest dropping down to his lower abdomen completely demolishing his past self, with scars that will last forever.
"i dont fucking know! and i dont want to!" pico shouted at sonic tears finally spilling from his eyes as he gripped his skull in some sort of twisted agony as the acidic and painful memories flashed back.
"hey, hey! its fine! its fine!" sonic said trying to calm his friend before unwrapping the gauze on his left arm.
"its not like i need him anymore! but then why does it hurt do fucking much sonic?! just thinking about his voice alone causes my chest to tighten and heart to ache! it hurts so fucking much?!" pico shouted out in a twisted form of agony that felt like it was tearing him open at the seams, and ripping out his insides piece by piece until he was a hollow shell of himself ready to be refilled and left out like a useless doll on the side of the road.
he stayed like that crying and shouting in agony for what felt like hours, stuck in the same place by some unknown voice in his head as the world around him began to distort through his tears, until he felt a hand placed on his shoulder, the simple touch being all it took to ground him for another day.
was the touch real?
he couldnt tell and didnt care at this point, he kept sobbing, trying to force out words failing to do so properly only getting out half of some words and forgetting the sentence three quarters through and starting a new one not even bothering to look up and see who it was as he slowly recovered.
"everything will be ok..." he said, pico froze at the voice before looking up seeing the angel he got with who knows how many years ago only for a brief second before he was gone again.
"no it fucking wont..." pico sniffled out before breaking into sobbing again.

I know you’re the master fic recommender, but do you have any recommended Netflix/Hulu series 😂 I feel like we would have similar tastes in shows! Thank you 💛
heh funny you should ask anon because i just discovered an anime on hulu that i’m absolutely addicted to. it’s called Devil’s Line, and fair warning it’s a dark fantasy anime with depictions of blood of violence and oh yeah there’s vampires lmao. but it’s so good. there’s romance between a human and a half-vampire - they’re called devils - and there’s even some comedy. another warning though, it’s very spicy - there are sexual undertones and the MC gets sexually assaulted, but body parts are blurred and nothing is actually shown because she gets saved by her hot half-vamp boyfriend before anything happens. 
anyway i’ll shut up before i git it all alway lmao. it’s both subbed and dubbed btw :) 
moving on, i’m also thinking about giving yona of the dawn and kamigami no asobi a go, though i dont know much about them yet, just that i’m vaguely interested.
for non anime shows, i really enjoy TWD (the walking dead) despite the fact that i’m absolutely terrified of zombies. i know its not everyones cup of tea, but you’d be surprised with how much actual plot there is. i thought it was just your typical zombie apocalypse survival schtick with excessive amounts of fighting and gore and drama, but it’s honestly so much more than that and i’m hooked. hell i even have a favorite character and i want to marry him (daryl ❤️) 
right now im binging NCIS because it's pretty much got everything: drama, comedy, crime, a bit of romance, lots of action. what's not to like amirite.
lessee anything else...oh I recommend Stranger Things and American Horror Story and honestly, Disenchantment because its fucking hilarious. if you've ever watched futurama you'll enjoy that haha.
