// I remembered this, and it’s so funny how everyone got genuinely ROYAL TITLES, and then we have Ayato and Yang with those——

#admin #(why Toma though—) #(I mean he’s cool but why is he prince? HSJSJ) #(at least they all sound so badass) #(especially Yang’s one) #(Ayato’s one is sooo boring though)

[blinkpen]

as requested: mutates a terribly boring character the narrative is SCREAMING at me to finding sploosh-inducingly charming on the basis of Evil Is Sexy and literally nothing else by injecting him with secret cringefail loser genes

i did not put much effort into visual changes bc that'd be a waste of my own creativity, but i did a lil sumn at least. i spent less than 30 minutes total brainstorming a new baseline concept for whatever his deal is supposed to be and drawing this.

#but instead we get 'my eldritch voodoo w-ndigo cannibal serial killer dealmaking christian hell demon is so cool and strong' #everyone is so scared of him and you should think he's the biggest badass and want to fuck him and buy aaalllll the merch' #'question: if he's doing voodoo why is he a pasty silky-haired ginger' #'uuuuuuuuuuuui decided he is part black now to deflect all criticism he's just white passing and ashy' #'well that doesnt cover the w-ndigo thing but are you going to change his design at all to reflect this or hire a black va for him?' #'ew why would i do that' #'...yeah. right. why would you. -sigh- and the w-ndigo thing?' #'hmmmmmi'm just going to pretend i can't hear you talking now' #blood cw #hazbin cw #death cw

his default recall is so cool..........

#not me arts tag #ive never used his default skin so i didnt even know what it looked like until now....ough #i wish u could mix and match sounds or recalls with skins................ #i honestly forget half the time hes supposed to be like. Cool and Suave and a Competent Badass #because my brain is always like. god hes so small and floppy and will die if you breathe on him wrong #also hes always crying and breathing heavily in my ear so im just like. poor guy #he should be at the bed taking a nap not fighting....... who made him fight.... stop that he doesnt belong on the battle field #he might be a badass hitman or smth but my brain is like #this is just a sad theatre kid who took gymnastics #''aphelios how is your assassin training going'' aphelios who has only been reading the acrobatics textbook: my what #is there anyone still reading these tags. hi there #i have a lot of thoughts on him. im very obsessed with his animations #like he has a laugh animation for every weapon....... #all the various weapon animations... #maybe the real reason we wont have a legendary for 10 more years is all the animating they have to do #i mean his base animations are so good id honest be like OK if they reused them #cant rly do much better than already Top Tier animations #unless we get an alune legendary..... #hope alune is super awesome and badass and all the aphelios voicelines are a really shy awkward guy or smth #like you look so cool and awesome fighting and the whole world doesnt know ur listening to a lil guy in your brain the whole game #the contrast would be very funny methinks #if anyones still reading this. yes i know riot made up some reason about budget or whatever for voices #but i choose to believe aphelios is head empty no thoughts and thats why he doesnt talk to alune #(STILL GOOFY OF A REASON... lots of VAs can do both genders of voices.... like. what about kindred and kayn....) #then again wouldnt be surprised if they were overbudget on the animations but still smh my head into oblivion #can relate to a guy who simply doesnt wanna talk #(said after 10000 tags of talking to myself) #i should really put my thoughts onto a separate post or blog or something #anyways have i mentioned i think hes really cute

being trans is the most badass thing ever. I hope you all know how badass you are <3

#also hence why vanitas is trans #sorry I am so tunnel visioned #there's actually a lot of nuance here where I just like #need more people to equate being trans with confidence because #we should be proud of being trans!!!!!! #and also #I was going to make a separate post for this but in terms of characters I just #highly dislike this idea that confident characters have to be tall and cis #I've heard that being confident can make you seem taller than you are #and when people make vanitas taller than he is just because he is confident I'm just like uhhh #and cis. I just think that's so boring #he is 5'3.... #okay bye #delete later #also when I say badass I mean this in the cool urban dictionary way and not in the google dictionary way

ah yes I've been reminded about how much I dislike wash's arc with locus on chorus because it makes no fucking sense!

like that scene in s12 where wash has that dream about shooting donut? while perhaps understandable when looked at in a vacuum, it makes absolutely no sense in the context of wash's arc from s6-s10.

wash repaid his debt to donut by protecting him from one of the tex bots in the 100 tex battle (which is what that seemingly random line in that fight where wash says "okay, we're done here" is referencing), and wash mentally justifying shooting donut in the dream with a "I was just following orders" also makes no sense because that's not what happened!

pretty much everything wash did from mid s7 through s8 were all things that he chose to do. wash chose to go to the chairman and make a deal after he found out that caboose still had epsilon, wash chose to shoot donut and lopez (because he didn't know them and had no attachment to them), wash chose to take doc prisoner, etc etc.

yet despite all of those awful choices he made, the reds and blues still refused to let him die. they chose to save wash when they had every reason to not save him, and they did it because that's what friends do—they protect their own.

this is why wash pulling his gun on lina in s10, and the words that followed him doing so were so important. wash knew what she was feeling, he understood her on an intimate level because lina was mentally in the same place that he himself had been in not too long ago—but he was not going to stand by and watch her hurt his friends, and he was not going to let her force the reds and blues into a battle that wasn't theirs (like he himself had done in s6 on his quest to defeat the meta).

tldr; wash's arc on chorus with locus doesn't make sense because the whole point of his arc (and kind of lina's arc too) prior to chorus was unironically about rediscovering the power of friendship thanks to a group of dumb guys in colorful armor.

#grrr i've been reminded about how much I hate post bernie wash in generally bc he didn't get to be cool anymore #we hate the woobify-ing of wash on this blog #here's hoping that restoration delivers on the cool wash content bc burnie's wash was always my fav wash #mine #rvb #like idk why burnie was the only one who was able to perfectly balance wash being an extrovert who deeply cared for the people around him #while also being a badass super soldier space marine who was skilled and competent #my hc is that wash was the most outwardly nice freelancer bc he recognizes the importance of team dynamics #which considering the washed hands interview in the rvb book makes a lot of sense. wash is stated to be a corporal in it but that's way too #low of a rank to lead a platoon so he was most likely demoted to that after he attacked his co #anyway im still the best wash guy and everyone else can go home /j

if any other bitch in konoha had been gay apart from sasuke none of this would have happened to my son naruto.

#pussy from the turbotron edgelord 3000 and his whole life went up in flame. NOT worth it #no but fr it's insane how he bamboozled every fan into thinking he was so interesting and cool and badass when . #at the point im at in shippuden hes by far the least interesting of the main characters. one track mind (vengeance) and no depth beyond that #like the other characters rn : sakura coming in to her own ; finding her path and her strength + sharing a connection so deep with naruto #over their common loss that they both just Know although they absolutely cant talk about it #yamato: the only survivor of orochimaru's monstrous experiments on children; kakashi's stand in thats so different from kakashi #it makes you wonder what it would have been like with him as their teacher from the start; #a mystery thats clearly trying his best but whose mission truly is A Lot #SAI: A BRAINWASHED SPY A PAWN FOR A SECRET ORGANISATION WHO CLINGS TO HIS HUMANITY NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES HES BEEN PUNISHED FOR IT #WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH NARUTO FOR MAKING HIM REALIZE HOW DEEP THINGS COULD BE FELT AND HOW DEEP RELATIONSHIPS COULD RUN #WHO HAS BEEN DRAWING A BOOK FOR HIS DEAD BROTHER FOR YEARS EVEN IF HE'S FORGOTTEN WHAT HIS BROTHER LOOKS LIKE #WHO DECIDED TO SPARE SASUKE BECAUSE HE'S LOVED. WHO JUST WANTS TO LEARN HOW TO LIVE A HUMAN LIFE. #MOST AUTISTIC CODED CHARACTER OF ALL TIMES HAS NEVER SUCCESSFULLY MASKED A DAY IN HIS LIFE. #sasuke: sasuke #anyway. im not touching on naruto because i could be here for days #BUT while sasuke on his own so far is very whatever. the narusasu dynamic is truly one for the ages #bc i just saw the ep where sasuke manages to see kyuubi inside naruto and wooshes him away and it's very like. #oh so hes literally seeing naruto's demons and banishing them even as hes telling naruto they dont matter to each other anymore. #oh ok cool cool cool cool this feels normal and not something to obsess over #jesus christ why am i typing all this. who here cares #naruto thoughts

thinking about MacCready's silly little outfit

#love to draw it hate to think about it #my dude why did you keep the back #get a shorter coat if the front part was bothering u so much instead of ?ripping??? it off??? #and what is keeping that pocket on your leg? tape? is that tape? what is that #please just rip the other sleeve off or sew a new one on #it just cant be comfortable the way it is #i would be so annoyed with the sleeves i gotta have either both rolled up or both rolled down you just cant be lopsided like that cmon man #his fucking belt is the only thing keeping this outfit together literally he takes that off his coat falls apart and his pants fall down #do you guys think he goes commando? i feel like he would (derogatory) #like aesthetically i love this outfit somehow he makes the asymmetry work for him and altogether its like ok cohesive outift #and like you look at all the parts and it paints the picture the devs wanted to tell about him-- it fits his story #like ok I Get It homeboy is a practical self-taught wasteland mercenary hurting for caps #+green to show association with gunners and call back to fo3 #but like do the bullets chafe him at all? do they jingle when he walks? or does he secure them tight enough not to? #his hat's baller though no complaints there #i like his lucky charm bullets even if they are a bit silly #would've been cool though if he had more personal beef with winslow and barnes and was like 'im saving these two bullets for them' #revenge quest shit ig lol #anyway maccready ? smooch #i bet he thinks he looks so cool hes like yeah bullets on my thigh? badass. #the shreds of my coat flapping behind me in the wind? badass #and gotta have a scarf. thats his staple #k rambles #sorry the brain rot is strong today

listen if youre online arguing about what "true punk' is youre already too far gone. ok now that being said i have a secret opinion to share ⬇️

#i know how lame it is to care about ''posers'' like literally who cares we're all adults just do yo thang #but.............. the more time i spend in my local scene(s) the more i become aware of ppl who are like aspirationally alternative #like you wanna be edgy bc you think its badass and counterculture #but you dont have the backbone to do anything for yourself without worrying about how others will see you #like youre so deadset on fitting in to this one subculture but you seemingly dont particularly like anything about it? #all you want is to look cool in front of your peers so you just absorb whatever is popular with them at the time. #opinions music attitude appearance all based on whatevers trendy. which we're all guilty of i know #but why try so hard to fit into this idealistic 'punk' label. it sucks and is so lame and everyone can tell how hard youre posturing #and not to throw stones in glass houses but these ppl r so awful to talk to #seemingly never attempted an original thought in their life. speaks exclusively in twitter/tiktok/tumblr memes or buzzwords #never really listens to you and only factors in your opinion after he's run it by the ppl he wants to fit in with #um i mean they 🧍 #could be thinking of a specific guy i know. maybe #anyways i think im discovering in real time what a ''poser'' is and its making me feel like a cranky old man #always have to remind myself to be empathetic and not judge too harshly bc literally who am i and who cares #but it still gets my goat occasionally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh don't mind me i'm just-- *accidentally trips falls over and drops all my paper on the floor which causes a drastic stylistic change in the way i draw barry*

he has cooler hair and a proper jawline now!!! i also gave him eyelashes based off some old concept art of him from 'The Art of Halfbrick' and also because they make him look more babygirl :)

his eyelashes were pretty and i wish he kept em so i incorporated them into the new way i draw Barry :)

also bonus pog

i find it weird yet oddly funny that Barry always gets this permanent pog face whenever he makes That Expression. you know the one

the pog. that one.

#barry steakfries #jetpack joyride #SUDDEN ART STYLE CHANGE said in the voice of the SSBU announcer #i actually really like a lot of the stylistic choices in the older concepts for Barry #the ''BADASS!'' written on his jetpack is one of my personal favourites and i like putting it on there whenever i draw his jetpack #also i find it kinda strange that in the jetpack joyride shorts and rock operas his jetpack is never actually attached to him #it's just kinda always floating on his back and the logistics of it elude me #how is that staying on his back when it's not even attached to him??? why is it that he has straps in some art but not others??? #and sometimes the handles that you gotta press down on to use the jetpack are also inconsistent??? #like sometimes they're on the jetpack and sometimes they aren't?? can they retract??? actually it'd be pretty cool if they could retract #but it's just never explained. why is his jetpack so inconsistent in the animated stuff and why is it always floating on his back?? #so anyway i'm gonna draw the straps and handles on him because i think that's epic :) #barry pog barry pog #he looks like queenie from the wp5 when he does that #none of you will know who that is but he looks like her

[celibibratty]

I know the idea of the game is to our main characters become an old master one day in a certain moment of their life, but one part of me kinda don't like that?, i like more the idea of after they kill the villans, they become some kinda of badass vigilants/justice gangsters, and continue be like this since they become old(no idea how they pay the bills living in that way?, but it doesn't matter is just a game), idk i just like our main characters more being some kinda of "lone wolf", i think it fits more their style

#about s1fu #sifu game #Nowadays i prefer more this lore #they must be so tired of all this so why continue? Let it die together with all this mess #It may sound like they being disrespectful to the father(maybe but i don't think its like that for me is vice-versa they let the things tha #Their father accomplished which is the school remain/die with him it was his legacy besides THE KNOW THE DRAMA.. #This School/talisman thing caused altho i think even if the main characters were a master/teacher i don't think they would talk/show the... #talisman to the students but still they would teach the pak mei and this yang manage to kill the old man How? because he knew the pak mei.. #The old man showed too much to him and he used that knowledge against him i just love to imagine our main characters thinking about that.. #and be like nope!😤I won't do this it won't repeat it again! to me is actually very cool and mature of their part) #;probably still training but on his own and for his own reasons; i'll totally embrace/adopt that✨so badass #So cool to imagine my w0man❤️being a badass still being a fighter but on her own #I like it cuz it make the family dynamic very funny😂the father was ancient so hes a master the older son becomed doctor/hippie of some sort #our main characters(the baby bro🥺) become some kinda of gangster😂no no i would call mystery hero/vigilant(they just do their own thing) #I would say what they do is the arenas(I don't care if the games says the arenas are separated from the game story for me is together😤) #They are not part of this drama they are just the consequence🔥❤️ #Well but that's it i like our main characters more not being a s1fu i don't think combines with them after everything they go thru #They're too cool for School✨👌 #Idk i just wake up like ;i kinda don't like the idea of them becoming a s1fu now🤔;

If your Luke Skywalker isn't bisexual, he's out of character. He was, canonically, in love with Leia for two movies, maybe three. You can say he got over her, sure, but he was canonically in love with a woman. Like, hard. Like. Star Wars might not have happened if he hadn't fallen in love with her hologram the first/second time he saw her. He can "swear off women" after discovering the girl he was crazy about ended up being his sister, sure, but you can't erase that he was crazy about her.

#stop bi erasure #why does fandom turn him into SUCH an OOC little twink #I get it's all fantasy fulfillment #But it's also like are we watching the same show #why would you take this cool badass guy #and make him a weepy uke #I don't want him to be a Legend He-Man caricature either #Just let him be a cool short badass #I will burn vain foppish limp-wristed OOC Chanel Boots Luke to the fucking ground #he was in love with Leia #He. Was. In. Love. With. Leia. #hewasinlovewithleia #Just because incest makes you uncomfortable doesn't mean it isn't canon #Why not actually include his angst about that in his characterization? #Wouldn't that be more fun? #He's so broken #Break him a little more #lukeleia #luke/leia #luke x leia

#ramblings of an arrow #had a FUN realization about why Astarion's story in BG3 means a lot to me and like also really fucks me up(in a good way) #and I am having a normal one in this chillis tonight #processing emotions on main tonight #simply there's some Astarion dialog that only happens if you choose some really awful dialog options #where he says something along the lines of 'I didn't know how to say no' #or 'I didn't think I could say no' #or something like that #and I justttt #they wrote it really well #how they dealt with his specific kind of trauma #and it fucks me up man #because hahahaha mood #it's... it's honestly so fucking cathartic to watch Astarion kill Cazador #like that whole scene is so tragic and awful but so cathartic b/c it's done so well and it feels so real #how he just starts sobbing right afterwards #and like it doesn't feel triumphant it just feels desperate #and how Astarion's whole motivation throughout the game is how scared he is of Cazador #and how when he kills Cazador it isn't like badass or cool or anything #it's this desperate awful terrified stabbing him until he's absolutely sure that Cazador is gone and will never get up again #like you can argue that it's overkill but honestly no that's fear and desperation right there #the desperate need to be free and know that they can never ever touch you again to know that you won't constantly be haunted by them #for the rest of your life #like fuck man I Get It #I fucking get it

While I'm 6am textposting, I wish to talk a bit about The Warp Effect and consent, and some compelling subtextual storytelling I think we're getting that I haven't seen discussed yet. TW: rape!

It feels really significant to me that the first episode of a story which is so conscientious about its portrayal of sex and consent

1. Opened with a casual, never-commented-on rape*

2. Closed with a time warp event precipitated by yes, a magic camera, but narratively by Alex having gotten pushed AWAY from the fully consensual sex he was about to have, into drunken shenanigans he visibly has little conscious control over and a morning after where he's informed (in a humiliating, kind of sexually-tinged-hazing way) of sex he has no memory of.

*In case I'm not being clear, I mean Meow hopping onto Alex's dick after he told her he wanted to stop. Not some "sex work is rape" shit or something.

Like!!! Yes there is a story about religious trauma and purity culture being told here, but to me it also feels like whatever his mother intended with the purity ring, Alex's path to breaking his sex curse may require realizing he has to 'wait' to actually want and choose to have sex, instead of being thrust (violently, casually, drunkenly, time warpedly, or any other way) into it.

Which would be suuuuch a cool subversion of the sex comedy genre as a whole. Right now he's having pussy and dick literally thrown at him, and the tone is very jokey (ha ha you're a renowned vagina doctor now! have fun!), but he is still v much having to negotiate consent for himself and his partners!

We see it explicitly with Kat - he doesn't want to let her fuck him thinking he's this other version of himself she has a pre-existing relationship with - but I'm wondering if he'll realize it also applies to his relationship with Army, where even if the other Alex consented to Army smooching him whenever he wants, he's allowed to want the guy he still sees as his high school bully to quit being so handsy.

Anywayyyy I sometimes get nervous I'm reading too much into everything, but if the story is at all aware that Alex has learned to prioritize consent for his partners but so far, not so much for himself, there's a lot of rich narrative there to explore.

#and i mean EYE hope he decides he DOES want army to be handsy and kissy #but he gets to decide that for himself yk #rather than just inheriting other alex's consent! #same as he recognizes he hasn't inherited kat's consent when she thinks he's someone else #okay it's all very intriguingggggggggg #the warp effect #dear diary #tw rape #rape warn #oh like also #i am all about everything the story is doing w/ emphasizing it's women who are most impacted by these questions of consent #w/ jean to advocate loudly and bravely for us!!! #but w/ alex as the POV character #men are expected to be down for (het) sex at any time for any reason #and that is the underlying premise of like. sex comedy as a genre!!! #as well as the horrifying justification for why men 'can't' be raped by women #so it is p badass and important to subvert alla that #meow and alex both assumed what she did was nbd #the massage parlor burning down because of rape and not because of the inherent 'sin' of sex would be a fucking cool story point #fucking cool isn't even a strong enough word lol #no hell for queer poly kinky consenting sexy folks #but hellfire for rapists #in this story #ok i'll stop adding tags now
