doodles from today cause i had a thought: water tribe dragon-blood boy who despite every attempt could not hide his true nature, and fire nation dragon-blood boy who despite every attempt could never take full dragon form

sokka maims himself in an attempt to look more human, breaking off his own horns, cutting his ears, picking at his scales, but everyone sees what he really is. the dragons were responsible for so much death and destruction and he hates being their kind, and so he runs. meanwhile, being able to embrace the dragon in him is all zuko ever wanted, his royal bloodline expecting it of him, but he fails and he fails and is humiliated, tortured, and cast out for his weakness.

on the shores they meet.

or something! :)

#zukka #blee arts #sokka having dragon blood could be from parentage but really #i kind of imagined it as a 'curse'#not really a curse but like #big battle; dragons killing; water tribe fighting back #and a dying dragon with no kin chooses to save kaya's life in order to pass on its bloodline through her firstborn #of course his parents love him katara loves him but his people arent exactly keen on having a dragon in the village #and poor young little sokka has very little control going in and out of his dragon state #and he cant hide it in human form

okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is

#dimension 20 #fantasy high junior year #not art #fhjy spoilers #its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical #like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real #like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this #yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out #meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring!#theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it #its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started #the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show #which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them #and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear #that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others #thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and #a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he #wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude #its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others #and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means. Is This Game Still Fun To Play. ITS A RAGEQUIT LIMIT #Im literally running from one end to another of this conspiracy board Ive pulled out of nowhere #Ill draw after this I just wanna get this out. gods this episode has done nothing but furthering my delusion of grandeur actually #Im the hottest smartest manthing on earth Im king fucking midas over here. anyways uh! great ep!

When she Half on my Life till I 2

#Spoofsart #Gordon Freeman #halflife2 #half life #Alyx Vance #Freemance #PlatonicFreemance #can be seen as romantic if youd like! i like both versions of freemance! ^^ i just personally adore platonic freenance #seriously tho freemance is such an interesting ship ( platonic or romantic ) im gonna yap about platonic freemance cuz i wanna.#SPOILERS AHEAD !!!!#i always like to imagine that when alyx was told about gordon and who he was/what he did during the Resonance Cascade. all of it was a mix #of stories told by civilians and her dad and Kliner and Barney! all painting him as this heroic silent fearless hero who trashed his way out #of black mesa with nothing bu a crowbar! the aliens and HECU feared him yadda yadda yadda! but then when she ACTUALLY MEETS HIM #SEES HIM FOR HERSELF. hes all beaten up on the ground in his civvies and she had to save him from the civil patrol cops 😭#pathetic little loser meow meow bark woof awwooo whgrhrgrgrgr (im love gordon- )#and she still has that “celebrity crush” ordeal with him #but after hours of fighting alongside him she learns that hes not what the stories painted him out to be #hes just some guy #during ep 2 when youre driving around with alyx. i like to imagine that during every pitstop Gordon just looks around finds nick nacks #thingamajigs and other stuff and shows it to Alyx. like letting his guard down and actually being human instead of in a constant state of #locking in and surviving yknow? anyway where was i? yeah they bond during the roadtrip to whiteforest #small moments of acting like stupid little kids together! and its during these moments that alyx realizes that shes happy with being gordon #s best friend! not a downgrade at all tho #friendships can be just as fun as relationships!#i see romantic and platonic as equals mmkay #anyway where was i?#yeah i drew this on Magma with a good friend of mine ^^ Razzmtazz!!!!#love drawing HL2 it rewired my brain.#love yall even tho i dont post much if at all 😭#i swear im cooking - gaben

it's not something I've written but it is fascinating to think about if Val and Alastor were hanging out with Vox at the same time before things went bad with Alastor in the past. Mostly because Val is like, 95% exactly Alastor's (friend) type. Pulling traits from both Rosie and Mimzy, he likes people who are very Loud and a Lot and very confident in themselves and their personality/appearance, who he can have fun nights out and bitchy gossip sessions with, plus he and Val have a decent amount of experience overlap re: being nonwhite and very likely from disadvantaged backgrounds, but affecting upper-class mannerisms, being deeply entertained by Vox (and if I can include headcanon, they were both mama's boys).

Really the only obstacles are:

val being the Sex Guy who does certain crimes Alastor is stated to really not like, but who knows how common that was back when/if Alastor would necessarily know about it

more a reason to break it off, but Val actually being into Vox and becoming his official partner/Val's Stand By My Man loyalty requiring him to dislike Alastor by default

val not being a woman (but then again, Alastor WAS hanging out with at least one guy back then!)

anyway my conclusion is just i can't wait to see them actually interact at some point, bc with how they've acted so far (Val seeming weirdly unbothered about the Alastor feud despite acknowledging he's sorta part of it, Alastor paying him a compliment along with Velvette by calling them the source of Vox's power) I feel like it's weirdly possible for them to be amicably indifferent to each other, even if they weren't technically friends in the past.

#listen i love all the stuff abt Val being protective of Vox and saving him in the fight with Alastor and etc...#but Val's SO chill about it like he clearly wants to watch Vox go off because he thinks it's funny/kind of sexy #but he outright states that he's not that interested in killing Alastor ('that's YOUR kink')#and after watching Vox get worked up and adding 1 note to his terrible Alastor sketch he just #gets bored and goes to have parallel play phone time with Velvette #idk maybe it's something he acts casual about now but didn't back then! but who knows #vic talks #happy days in hell (hazbin tag)#hazbin hotel valentino #hazbin hotel alastor

I love Catwin because you know that once Edwin gets acclimated to his antics, he most likely won't react as much, if at all, to the more revealing outfits the Cat King wears. Meanwhile, the likelihood of Thomas getting a nosebleed because he saw Edwin's forearms, ankle, or *gasp* god forbid his collarbone is extremely high.

#I love that for them #cat man almost faints from a kiss on the cheek #no way he doesn’t just go feral when edwin rolls up his sleeves #I love ships that compliment each other like that #thinking about them so I don't have to think about the current state of my country today #i fucking hate it here #edwin payne #cat king #the cat king #thomas the cat king #catwin #dead boy detectives #dead boy detective agency #dbda #save dead boy detectives

Boycott!

I love the fact that they have a cat and the fandom forgets about it lol

Now that I have your attention:

-----------------------------------------------

By the way, am I the only one who wonders how her parents reacted when Mabel brought the pig home? I don't know why, but I'm really interested in their reaction…

Seriously, you sent your kids on vacation and one of them comes back with a new pet you didn't know about…

Okay, too much thinking, remember about the collections at the top

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you

#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what #allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of #the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than #to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do #im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt #take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was #mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their #mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that #explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain #direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in #arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to #engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out #theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive #a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked #picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing #sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example #for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war #is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old #wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for #steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with #especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can #look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never #treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time #but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made #feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them #accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me #yapping #diary

#dbtag #silly hours #god #I feel like that's a really clear and consistent thing throughout the entirety of the manga but OTL leave it to Toei!!!!#lays on the floor I wish people were less afraid of letting “good guys” be flawed and selfish and reckless without having to like.#idk vilify them?#like Goku does and always has had a ton of negative qualities about him but what keeps him a protag and what keeps those negatives charming #is that 1) he never promises to be anything Else. If you're upset by his behavior that's a you problem Goku's just doing Goku #He's only upset when Other People get hurt because 2) almost none of those negative qualities contain any malice whatsoever #even as a kid when he was 'i killed that guy' it was like 'i solved a problem why are you mad (gen)' not 'good fucking riddance lol'#and he kept that as an adult too even when he learned more about compassion he's still 'well if you're not gonna stop i have to kill you'#it's never 'fuck off and die' it's always 'listen buddy either you knock it off or i knock you out there is no option c '#and god i love that Goku. I spent so long thinking I hated Goku growing up but I only hated Toei's Goku. Toriyama's Goku is GREAT.#like look if an antagonist is just a hero with the wrong perspective a hero is just a villain with the right one #and the fact that Goku has all of the qualities of a villain with none of the malice or intention makes him SO POWERFUL as a character #Goku doesn't like bystanders getting hurt. That doesn't make him less chaotic and self-centered and simplistic in his worldview.#A hero sacrifices his loved ones to save the world -- a villain sacrifices the world to save his loved ones --#Goku sacrifices himself because you cannot kill him in any way that matters #idskahds anyway here's another essay in the tags for your wednesday evening scroll #the justification the interviewer gave was that the anime was for kids but my beef with that is that Hero Tropes strip chaotic characters #of their emotions. Goku's conflicts are emotional. Goku's power is emotional. Goku's childlikeness keep him authentically emotional.#MORE kids -- ESPECIALLY little boys -- deserve a male protagonist who leans into his emotions to persevere and win.#Super deciding his “angelic state” would kill him makes me want to tear my hair out lmao Goku's EMOTIONS are too strong to hold it.#you could've just asked toriyama about it why'd you decide on the most basic high-stakes shorthand possible OTL #aNYWAY #media analysis #in the tags at least lol

ok so according to the prev poll it seems like you guys want me to post the pmd comic right here !! (does save me a lot of time coding a new tumblr for comic purposes and setting up CF ;w;)

so just wanted to share some parts/sketches from what I have so far

#this small (?) project is literally everything to me because I have loved pmd forever and the first comic I ever made was a pmd EOS comic #it was me and my best friend as pokemon and it was really silly I think only 12 pages that were horribly drawn and lost to time #oh and obviously the dialogue was crap but listen I was 8 #pmd eos was p much my first real game… back in 2009 when u had the little ds you could play on the wall of Walmart game section…..#I was like mom I HAVE TO HAVE THIS #i started and restarted the game for the personality quiz so many times I wore out the cartridge and it’s kinda unplayable now #so I’m playing on Wii U (which is good for save states anyway bc god. thisgame is hard. idk how I beat it as an 8 yo)#anywayyyyyy enough sappy schmappy #persona 5 #pmd #p5 pmd au #shuake #akeshu #goro akechi #akira kurusu #and all that

Wouldn't it be a funny plot twist if PV/Lazerblast never actually lost his powers. Cause he used his powers with no enemies around (aka no one to drain energy from) and it turns out his mental state is what held him back all these years?

It'd be hilarious especially bc that was the main reason he faked his death. All this mess could've been avoided if he just went to therapy😭

#i think carol shouldve beaten his ass more #what a looser(affectionate)#honestly i would've LOVED to see more about his mental state and how he became professor venomous #his character is so interesting to me bc of how drastically he changed and the whole “not feeling good enough” is very compelling to me #therapy couldve saved him😔#professor venomous #ok ko carol #ok k.o.! let's be heroes #ok ko let's be heroes #carol kincaid #my art #asks & answers #kappart

Odysseus (me) on his way to Ithaca (my house) being carried away by a storm (I took the combi on the wrong side) having to go through a lot of trials (I didn't have cellular data and I have to ask other people for theirs and directions) and tribulations (it was dark and rainy) to finally end up alone on an unknown island (the center of another town) and having to be saved by divine intervention (my grandparents) to finally reach his home ten years later (three hours).
