I redrew a justice sprite because she is very cool, that's about it

the sprite in question, look at how cool she is, you will never see her in a new game again(lie, never give up, keep believing)

heartbreaking: none of artist's other songs are as much of a banger as the song I discovered the artist by

"Ok, ma'am that'll be $226.03."

I take my wallet out of my pocket and unfold it. It is empty other than a single moth that lazily flies out. The moth lands on the tap point of the card reader. There's a beat, and my payment is processed. The moth flies back into my wallet and I put it back in my pocket.

Maddie being introduced as this literal ray of sunshine and then being the first to beat along to Piltovers turn to martial law.

Maddie mentions to Vi that Caitlyn told the enforcers that Vi went after Silco and his gang on her own when the council wouldn’t back her. I think from this line it’s clear that Maddie (and Caitlyn too) is othering Vi from her identity as a Zaunite. Because she chose to go after Silco that mist mean she’s willing to align herself with Piltover as opposed to Zaun.

She was always discriminatory toward Zaunites, they just didn’t make it overt at her introduction. The turn to fascism and discrimination can start with anyone. Including a literal ray of sunshine.

EDIT: my original take: “Her interactions with Vi mystifying her as ‘one of the good ones.’ One of the good Zaunites.” Was a misinterpretation on my part. I had only watched the episode once at that point so I am correcting myself and instead adding a new take I could infer from the scene that you can read above.

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

I saw something a long time ago about Sol's ponytail being fake and that he uses it to "ground" him or something of that nature. Do you know anything about this? I can't find anything about it now.

Haha you came to the right place because I'm probably where you first saw that at. It's from a translation I've been working on of an article in Character Designer magazine, issue 1, published in 2003.

There's a block of text above this insert on the page that reads:

The ponytail is artificial. Since he’s a Gear, Sol wears the headgear to keep his power under control. The ponytail acts as a sort of grounding wire for the headgear.

Text pointing at Sol hair spikes: Hair sticks up in rough blocks.

Right of Sol portrait ponytail: Mouth is always smirking.

Under ponytail comment: Hair in back is a hairpiece that looks like a Muay Thai headband (mongkon).

Bottom comment, pointing up at headband: These holes are not connected.

The way Sol is drawn in the Chara Design article is consistent with his design from the 1995 prototype, so I'm confident that's how old the "grounding wire" idea is. What's interesting is that the ponytail being attached to the limiter made it into Missing Link. From Sol's ending, after he loses the limiter:

They seem to have gone back on this though because he generally has long hair now when he's shown without the limiter. In the GG Story Digest Comic recap of the ML Sol route ending (chapter 3), they show him with the short hair but then it grows out when he installs, which it doesn't do in the game:

In the GG Begin recap chapter ("Opening") and in Begin itself he's got long hair exclusively once he fully becomes a Gear:

It's a pretty great fun fact that the ponytail used to be a "grounding wire" in the really early stuff though, but nothing supports it still being that in modern Guilty Gear
