Something something, I woke up today with the need to draw these two. AU stuff that I don't know if I will elaborate on.

[electrozeistyking]

Hi, I really like making little personalized references for characters I like when I get into things! I do this to figure out how I wanna draw them, and is a recent-ish development that I haven’t done a lot, but I really like character design and thinking about them! So I made some for Siffrin. How fun!

DO NOTE THAT THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR LATER PARTS OF THE GAME. I did obviously tag it as such for the sake of others and it will be further down, but I figured I’d still warn you just in case. <:3

Now, without further ado, here’s “reference one!”

I’m personally gonna be using this in conjunction with Siffrin’s actual reference sheet (which I refer to as “notes” in mine!!) to make sure he look his best! I also wanted to make sure they’re “in line with canon,” yet still in my style and in a way I can be proud of.

Which isn’t that hard, since I’m usually always proud of my own work. I just like my own stuff. <:3

Due to the brim of his hat allegedly being bean-shaped (teehee), I thought it’d be fun if I carried that over to his torso/body. It’s not noticeable with a cloak in the way, nor when Siffrin’s standing straight up. Basically, the bean shape would only be revealed in certain poses.

(Coming up with that also made me say “Whoops! All beans!” out loud about Siffrin, btw.)

Additionally, I like giving characters is their own set of fangs. One character I draw has a gap between them and the rest of their teeth, one has prominent ones to make them more cat like on purpose — and for Siffrin, I decided to give them rounded ones.

I usually make fangs razor sharp, because I really like big ol chompers like that, so them being round is definitely a very unique thing for Siffrin to have. Well, at least at first.

I’m also a really big fan of certain design elements sticking around after something wild happens to characters… which brings us to “reference two.”

Well, if you’re not gonna be able to find any good references for this version of Siffrin, you might as well make your own, right??

The major thing I wanted to do with this Siffrin was to have him still feel like himself, but also give him somewhat of a unique design in comparison — by playing up elements I noticed during this scene.

Making this Siffrin feel as giant as they are was important to me. I went ahead and made their hat, face, hair and cloak longer. Made their shoulders broader, had them hunch over so they’d practically loom over everyone. Trying to appear smaller while still being an obstacle. Wanting everyone to stay here. Wanting their family.

I noticed that a lot of Siffrin’s hair seemed a lot more angular here, so I felt it crucial to use those shapes, but going a couple steps further and using them for his face as well… primarily his mouth and chin, of course. Which meant replacing those rounded fangs I gave him with a full set of sharper ones.

(I also wanted them to look like they’re too big for Siffrin’s mouth, so two of them — well, four? — will always peek out/fall past their lower lip. It’s like their teeth are not a comfortable fit whatsoever and it makes talking feel weird, but they manage.)

(They stick around after Siffrin “reverts back” or whatever we’re calling it. He never gets his round fangs back, but at least the ones he has now serve as a reminder that he got to the end. Might take some getting used to, though.)

(I also tried making their brows look a bit more angular? Can’t tell if they really come across that way.)

ANYWAY, I THINK I SHOULD STOP HAHAHA. I could go on and on all day, but I got other things to do and I think I’ve already explained enough! Just know that I get a kick out of putting love and care into character thoughts and designs. <:3

You know what I love about this show so much?

The kindness. The understanding. The redemption.

And that's in the setting of fucking Hell. The irony.

The characters are deeply flawed. They make a lot of mistakes. They fuck up even trying to fix things.

But they are trying. They have a lot of virtues, too, even though they don't see them themselves. They slowly but surely process their problems. They work around their trauma and the conditions they were raised in, deeply affected by it, hurting but still powering through, learning, and developing.

Although we are far from the end of these characters' journey, the SpindleHorse team does an amazing job of making these characters sympathetic, believable, and real. They give you the information and the opportunity to understand how complicated things are, how both sides of the conflict can be understood and blamed at the same time.

And the main thing? The forgiveness and redemption. You want these characters to do better, to be better, of course. But you also want them to be loved, despite the fact that what they did was obviously wrong.

You, as the viewer, already forgive them, and you just want them to forgive themselves. To allow themselves to be loved.

When I watched the show and saw them making the same mistakes I did, some horrible things I wouldn’t forgive myself for and struggled with for years, I suddenly understood the struggle. I empathized with them. I wanted to give them a hug. I wanted to comfort them and promise that things would get better and encourage them to give it one more try, one more talk. I wanted to scold them for self-loathing because I know all too well the kinds of dark places it can lead you to sometimes.

And then the thought comes to mind, "Can I afford a bit of this empathy for myself too? Just allow myself to live with the fuckup and allow myself to be human?"

It didn't fix me. But it eased my turmoil and taught me to understand it better. It taught me some empathy, too, and I thought I was the one with the emotional ingelligence of a nightstand. Well, I still kinda am, but at least I learned to listen to people sometimes.

I just want to thank the whole team who worked on Helluva Boss for all the self-reflections I experienced with their creation.

Thank you.

Does anyone else not like Joel having a car instead of a space object as his symbol? It just doesn't feel right to me. I really really like the planetary tradition and don't want it to break :(

Just heard that Kat is leaving a lot of her online spaces because no matter where she goes, she gets bullied and harassed, and I'm speechless. She's a wonderful, talented person, and she doesn't deserve any of this. It's literally just a witch hunt at this point, which is so so unbelievably stupid

Why can't people just walk away when they don't enjoy things? Harassing and bullying people because they don't cater everything they do to your specific wants and needs should not be the default that people resort to. Anyone who does this sort of shit needs serious, professional help, and they need to go touch some grass or something

I don't like that this is happening. Not at all. I know I usually try to keep this blog as drama-free as possible, but I can't stay quiet about this. I've stayed quiet about a lot of things in my life for far too long, and I'm getting pretty fed up with it

Some of this bullshit makes me want to leave this fandom too, but I'm determined to stay, because I love the stories that are being told, I love the characters, and while the writing can be a little silly sometimes, I like it! I adore what these shows are doing, and I'm so happy that I can watch these things for free, because if I had to pay money to see them, that'd really suck, and I'd never be able to afford it

I will stay as long as possible, and I will continue to support the VAs however I can, because they're amazing and they deserve all the support and love in the world

If there's anyone following me that supports the horrid behavior that's been going on, anyone who thinks people are justified to target Kat, or anyone who's sent any hate to any VA ever, I don't want you here. This is my space, and I want only kindness and acceptance here, so take your bullshit somewhere else

I'm tired of all this nonsense, and honestly, I feel embarrassed and ashamed sometimes to even associate with this fandom. It is so, so bad, but I'm hoping that it'll eventually be sorted out and resolved

you know where to find me,

and i know where to look.

been thinking a lot about knight, the song of roland, and roland's companion olivier lately. so i decided to make something extremely self indulgent. textless versions under the cut!

does this even count as r1999 fanart anymore??? who knows!!! i for one am having fun with it. i apologize for the historically innacurate armor (since the song of roland is set in the frankish empire), i was following the reference i already had and favored experimenting with visuals over accuracy ^^; i had a lot of fun experimenting with silhouettes and negative shapes. these two make me very very normal (especially knight)

[svtskneecaps]

also in terms of the bolas playlist it's fascinating to me that the songs added by each person have a slight tendency to represent a consistent aspect of bolas

like

the songs added by slime are their chaos

the songs added by philza are their rebellion

the songs added by cellbit are their rage

the songs added by baghera are their anguish

it's so fucking FASCINATING TO ME but i don't know enough music theory to elaborate lmfao this is Vibes Only

(mouse's songs i can't boil down to an easy noun which is why they aren't mentioned lmao anyway they go hard asf)

(also i went on the longest fucking unhinged elaboration in the tags lmfao i almost didn't have enough tags left to tag "long tags" at the end

(i could have even gone on longer in terms of where their characters were at entering purgatory [philza: cage for a cage; cellbit: fed worker murders; baghera: her past as a federation experiment; slime: turning into a code because of the code pretending to be his daughter] but i ran out of space and also time it's 4AM AAAAA)

[jakesbestfriendtiffany]

so with the new fionna and cake episodes out I'm just going to throw my theory out there:

The Fionna and Cake universe exists inside Simons mind and is being brought to the real world via residual magic from Ice King and Golb.

In the first episode Cake is chasing after ice and freezers which is obviously the way to portal to Ooo. Left over IK magic in Simon's brain is causing these fugue state AU coping characters to physically manifest in the real world.

Cake is brought to the adventure time universe through Simons head after he tries to harness the magic of Golb for Betty.

There’s also the fountain of Betty. Since this is all in Simons head it’s not surprising that there’s some sort of shrine for her.

Not to mention "Cheers" is the only thing that plays on Fionna TV.

I think the reason that Fionna is suddenly getting all these weird dreams is an implication towards Simons resentment towards how people feel about the Fionna and Cake stories. It’s clear that it’s something people admire and like about him that he doesn’t enjoy himself. The constant reminder of these stories he didn’t write is manifesting inside the magical universe via Fionnas dreams.

The end of ep 2 shows prismos time room and his remote gets a new button. I think this indicates that a new improbable event in the universe has come about-- implying that fionna and cake are not an alternative universe but rather something else.

I'm curious and bored. reblog or reply to this with your controversial opinions about epic the musical

I'll go first, I like the teaser of athenas time dive better than what we got in the actual song, I thought it sounded better without lyrics
