#it’s a direct sequel?

[ghosttoasts]

Do people not know/realize how direct sequels work visually & plot-wise? Gen question

#tears of the kingdom #loz tears of the kingdom #totk #Like ppl are complaining about how totk looks so ‘familiar’ to botw #and I’m like #yea? #it’s a direct sequel? #it’s gonna look the same? #It looks so different mechanics wise that I’m sure it’ll feel different #like oot vs mm #idk it’s just funny and confusing #loz hype tho

Concept: A Legend of Zelda game with an adult (actually adult not 16yo 'adult') Link and a princess who isn't Zelda. Like it starts fairly normally, and we dont see her but the only oddity seems to be that the princess' name is wrong, and so everyone starts playing and speculating that maybe it's another Hilda type world collision or a Tetra situation or a Link's Awakening type dream. And then you defeat the final boss and save the princess, who is only now revealed to be like 4yo. And then Zelda's voice calls from off screen "Link, stop playing with her! You were supposed to put her to bed an hour ago!" as the scene changes to a child's bedroom with Link weilding a wooden sword and wearing a blanket cape as this tiny princess giggles in his arms that "Mommy's mad at Daddy!"

and this, of course, is Fitzjames sleeping in his boots

#james fitzjames #the terror #the terror fanart #i love drawing his boots can you tell #this is a direct sequel to my previous post #but also #he mentions At Least Once in his letters his falling asleep fully clothed #so this could be a reference to that as well #amc the terror #my drawings

thinkign about it and it's kinda funny to me that people are still talking about getting hl2vrai when we already have an unofficial sequel (ACAB streams) and an official spin-off (gnome run) and an independent spin-off (Holly's chronicles of benry) and a more serious reimagining of that spin-off (socpen's chronicles of benry) AND Cast Commentary WITH Special Blu-ray™ Disc Features--that also functions as an epilogue . if u want more hlvrai content then take my hand I can show you a beautiful world where benry gets stuck in VHS hell or Gordon tries to buy milk duds and receives a remote instead

#hlvrai #I wonder if someone has already made a post like this before . probably askjfdgh #I'm sure if the crew did an official direct sequel then it would fuck but like. r we gonna keep dragging this corpse forward orrrrrr #nonsense #🎆

[ID: Two page comic in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The first page has a black background and the upper half, behind the panels, is splattered with stylized red blood, scattered bullets, and lifeless hands. In the first panel, it focuses on Vash's boots, showing him stepping through the panel and into the bloody scene. The second panel shows his bloody footprints and the third panel shows his face, his down-turned eyes looking downwards. It's a neutral, vague expression with confliction. At the bottom of the page, the back of Wolfwood's head and shoulder is seen, blood dirtying the white color of his shirt and side of his face. Vash's hand reaches out to him from the right side of the page.

The second page shows the entire scene in full, half the page in light and the other in solid black. At the center, Vash leans down onto his knees as he wraps his arms around Wolfwood's shoulders into a hug. Wolfwood's back is turned away from the viewer, his left arm holds onto his bloodied punisher and his right hand sits on his lap. Light casts from the left side of the page, showing the bloodied surrounding, but the held up punisher casts a shadow on the both of them, shielding them from the light. END ID]

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #tw blood #<-- should i add that to the original post... if it's effective? #anyway this was a direct sequel to the previous post... i had a lot of thoughts when i drew it but my brain is failing me rn #something something about being granted that bit of mundanity and then running into some situation that whiplashes u back into the identity #u were built and trained to be. that at the end of the day its not possible to just be without dirtying your hands again #he's used to it but ww will forever be someone too kind too tender hearted to really be eased out of the cold lifestyle he's forced to live #and i personally dont think trimax vash could look at wolfwood with disdain or disappointment when catching him after the fact #he knows where wolfwood's heart lies he's seen the way wolfwood killed to protect and he thanked him for it too. i think him understanding #ww deeper in that way would just make his heart wretch so all he can offer is a comfort and arms to return to. #to reassure that he can still be loved even with the blood on his hands #i also think i drew an illustration when i first got into trigun depicting this same ish message.... #i'm just very particular about this Subject. i need ww to be loved i need him to be reassured even if he'll still refuse to believe he's #worthy of it like AUGHHH. ok. #ruporas art

It's genuenly fascinating how Lovecraft, known xenophobe in it's truest sense, created this race of grotesque utterly inhuman alien creatures and the goes on at length describing with genuine respect and admiration how advanced and complex and admirable their culture and civilization was.

like, we are talking about these guys

and lovecraft is like "ah yes, their goberment was complex a probably socialistic...there was extensive commerece, the culture was mainly urban, in furnishing their homes they kept everything at the center of huge rooms leaving wall spaces for decorative treatments, lighting was probably accomplished by a device electro-chemical in nature"

is so strange how comfortable he is humanizing these creatures, treating them like any other culture worth of consideration. i really didnt expect this coming from this dude

#lovecraft #he is much more willing to do his own thing than verne was #an antartic mystery was a direct sequel to gordon pym #in here leaving aside a quick namedrop for peo at the beggining this is itw own thing #at the mountains of madness #the antartic trilogy

#dannymay2023 #danny phantom #danny fenton #arting #i said i thought itd be funny to never draw the crown of fire the same way twice as a joke but actually it is very funny to me lmao #so even though this is a direct sequel to another drawing i still changed it

#Hamilton: *walks into a room* *comedicly large wall of text* #if the art is inconsistent between panels uh no it isn't #my thought process is that if I make enough of these the art style and character designs will solidify over time #and then I can make some longer form things #So I hope y'all are ready to watch me try and improve through brute force #amrev #alexander hamilton #george washington #because this one is a direct sequel to the last one #the timing of each implies that Hamilton has spent at least 12 hours preparing his arguments while pacing back and forth across camp #only to be met with instant agreement #and thats what I call comedy

Mario definitely went through MORE, but not all of it was bad; he fell in love with a beautiful realm, made lifelong friends, and had the quality he was always shamed for praised at last. Luigi went through a smaller quantity of tribulations, but the whole thing was tinged in idleness and hopelessness. Even though DK and Peach warmly accepted Luigi at the end of the movie, Mario was the one who earned that friendship. Part of the Weeg angst potential could be him feeling like Mario blossomed into the person he was always meant to be while Luigi wasn't there to see it and cheer him on, and he feels like he can't keep up.

Also there's the fact that Luigi was already struggling to keep up with his brother when they were just plumbers, so while he no doubt feels happy for Mario I definitely think there would also be a sense of loss that he and Mario didn't get to grow together.

They had never been apart that long before, and it's just Luigi's luck that in the span of time that they were separated Mario learned all about the surrounding kingdoms, powerups and how to use them, how to fight and drive motorized war karts, and much more. So if Luigi felt like he was falling behind before, I'm willing to bet he now feels completely left in the dust. Even though they defeated Bowser together I imagine that once the high of that victory wears off, Luigi would be left with a strong sense of imposter syndrome. Sure, he saved Mario with a manhole cover... anyone would do the same. Everything after that he only managed to do with the power of the super star.

In the first movie Mario struggled with being perceived as a joke and wanting to prove everyone wrong, so I think it would be interesting if Luigi spent the sequel believing himself to be a joke and wanting to fix himself, even if it means pushing himself too hard and following his brother into dangers he is not physically/emotionally ready for.

#that's only one of like a dozen possible directions but #I do hope the fact that Luigi spent the entire first movie trapped in a cage gets addressed in some form or fashion #askbox #anon #super mario brothers #Mario movie #mario movie sequel #Mario #Luigi #super mario bros
