Compiling Metaphor Refantazio humans and their Hieronymus Bosch inspirations

Enemy spoilers up through 7/17 on the in-game calendar

far from complete, since I'm nowhere near done with the game yet, but these are all the funny little guys I've managed to find the inspirations for! I've put the enemy's names and the names of the Bosch paintings in the alt text for each image.

I highly recommend checking out Bosch's paintings, for these guys and the many other fantastical and macabre creatures in his works. it's kind of like a game of I-spy, lol

enemies I was NOT able to find a 1-to-1 inspiration for under the cut. if anyone out there HAS spotted a better match for these ones, feel free to add on!

so I couldn't find a good match for the big terrible baby, unfortunately. best I can say is that Bosch tends to paint a lot of creatures that are just a human head on legs.

same goes for the giant sandworm; I couldn't find anything even remotely similar even after scouring through every Bosch painting (and some sketches!) I could find. it feels inspired by The Garden of Earthly Delights, but I didn't see anything that really resembled this thing.

but again, if anyone knows of a better match for either of these, I'd love to see it!

no but like. the one piece universe would be 10000x funnier if ace didn't die.

imagine you're a decently known pirate in the grand line and now you are trying to make yourself a name in the turbulent seas. you try to take over some stretch of the sea and wreck havoc and BOOM your ships are burning your subordinates are screaming and why is there a cowboy crouched on your ship mast????

("CAPTAIN APPARENTLY THIS IS WHITEBEARD'S TERRITORY-"

"YOU SAID THE SAME THING TWO DAYS AGO"

"I THINK EVERYTHING HERE IS WHITEBEARD'S TERRITORY"

"FUCK.")

but it's fine. it's whatever. you make a narrow escape with one ship and half of your crew and start rebuilding your reputation. years pass. you have now taken over a small, peaceful island in the middle of fucking nowhere. everything is awesome.

and then suddenly a teenager wearing flip flops and jorts comes to your throne room and claims he is going to kick your ass. why? because some little girl gave him food and you made her cry by making her parents sad. he claims he will kick your ass not for the multiple counts of murder, assault, human trafficking or your favourite hobby, slavery. no, he says he will beat you up because you made some little girl sad. he seems very confident that he and his silly little crew will defeat your whole evil army. with what, you laugh, the power of friendship?

he then proceeds to beat the shit out of you and your minions with the power of friendship. and an insane amount of violence and bloodlust.

somehow, you manage to escape the island. one plus point to this whole thing is that this island was basically unknown so no one knows of your colossal fuck up. you move on. two years pass. you get stronger and are careful with the people you go against. eventually you start working for the government and provide them with information on the underground world and the whole pirate business. it's a good, easy life. you can wreck havoc under the protection of government. nothing can go awry now, right? wrong.

some motherfucker with a goddamn PIPE and a TOPHAT beats you up (you wonder if it's a big joke the universe is playing on you. fucking humiliating to get defeated only by brats that wear the most ridiculous hats in existence). for some reason the chief of revolutionary army thinks you are annoying and wants to kill you. he calls his move dragon claw (what the fuck is up with his hands??? arthritis???) and you watch him bring his hand down and your base fuckinh crumbles. he crushes the skulls of your lackeys. he is laughing all the while. oh my god he is insane.

you have always been lucky so against all odds, you escape. you're smarter about your comeback this time. you have realised you can't survive the new world on your own and ally with some bigshot emperor and have successfully convinced them to kill the strawhat kid, because BOY was that brat fucking annoying. JORTS??? FLIPFLOPS??? GUM GUM NO UFO???? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING???

you are smart about getting him too. the kid is strong but he is dumb so somehow, you manage to catch him with some meat (did no one teach him about stranger danger??), some sea stone cuffs and shove him in a basement of seawater. it's going GREAT. a day passes. suddenly everything is on fire and your base is crumbling and your people are screaming and you only have time to think oh no before the other two hat bastards come in.

("you hurt our little brother. prepare to die."

"im sorry your WHAT")

but they don't get to do anything because apparently their little brother is a god??? he's still wearing flipflops??? oh you're dead. you're so fucking dead.

Having fans and having them recognise you is scare as shit😭

Cassie: Tim, why do you guys always wear your eye masks? Like when we're chilling you guys keep on some variation of that or sunglasses. You have to try and look cool all the time?

Tim (nonchalant): There's a simple answer to that: We've secluded into our happy places. Deep in our mind to escape the horrors of reality... It helps because our thousand yard stares are... Terrifying.

Cassie (surprised and concerned): Oh... Um, you all do this?

Tim chuckled, nodding. He and the rest of the family had long grown used to that and it helped with them suppressing their more violent urges to the deep recesses of their minds. A lot of murdering people they hate.

Tim: Dick does it a lot. He's good at it.

Cassie looked at Konnor who only nodded due to being used to them doing that for longer than anyone else.

Cassie (putting the men): You're... Wow that is freaking sad.

Tim: It's therapeutic ... trust me on this.

Konnor: You're aware you're all disassociating? That's all that is... Tim?

Tim had already checked out as he stared at his legs.

Cassie (poking the man on the side of his head): He can just activate it? You know what, he's not violent like he was when his mom died. I'll take it. Should we wake him up at least?

Tim (staring at his legs): I can still hear you, I can be half listening during this stage.

Konnor (concerned): Is therapy not a thing in Gotham?

They are so in sync…they move as one… they ARE one… Just like Claudia said : "You spend an hour alone with him and you're breathing in sync together"

Our whole relationship is founded on rebelling against Meeple.

nonsensical (except to me) rarepair i think ive mentioned before. they meet in the arts and crafts store and fight over the last meter of ribbon in stock and the rest is history

[conceived-angel]

heyyy @/fx networks... got anything you want to share with the class?

Gods, I just... really, really like Cecilos. Cecil getting infatuated with Carlos immediately and that turning from a puppy crush into actual love. Carlos, who was also attracted to him from the beginning, but who didn't really let himself get closer until his near death experience made him stop running.

How they seem picture perfect, except they aren't. They're just people. Cecil gets irritated with how secretive Carlos is, to the point he has to admit Carlos isn't all that perfect like he thought... but he finds that he loves him because he's imperfect, not in spite of it. How Carlos gets frustrated too by Cecil broadcasting everything on the radio, but eventually he comes to terms with that just being part of who Cecil is and finding it endearing. How both of them still compromise, Carlos opening up a little and Cecil keeping more boundaries with their personal life and his radio show.

They don't have one problem that they solve and that's it, either.

The Desert Other World, the secrets, the privacy issue, the weird reality altering events. They go through so much but they try for each other and they come through. They're just sweet.

I hate to say it but I might have to admit that Redditors can be pretty based sometimes

[lukazade]

Sleepover with two puny mortals that you're in love with (and everything can go right).

Lowkey based on a fanfic I was writing, but as usual I haven't the confidence to post it! Yeah~

Had this in the drafts for months,,,, figured I'd finish it up now so it's done. I like to kinda have some Finished art on the page hahahaha

[paranormaljones]

there are a lot of Nick and Jess moments that deserve to be talked about of course, but i think one that doesn't get talked about enough is in LITERALLY THE SECOND EPISODE when they're confronting Jess's ex Spencer and they're all wearing those dorky hats and Jess is monologuing and she says "and I love these guys" and the camera, for half a second, cuts to Nick, who glances at Jess and swallows. this is a Mr. Darcy hand flex moment to me.

[lizord-lord]

They are high school mean girls. to ME.

(I will continue to give the distortion a different outfit in every single picture I draw them in it is my RIGHT as an artist)
