ranking how well i think id do fighting my friends’ characters i attacked on art fight as someone who couldnt do 5 push ups
1. puknit - zach1008 (on insta)
the only canonically dead character on my list he already died of heart attack i think id be ok
2. cyrus (also the same guy its for zach he has fightable characters)
i just wouldnt really want to fight him but i think i could
he has rocks i think i could take maybe 8 before going down and thats long enough for me to like swing at him maybe
like just 1 swing i think would take him down hes a little guy like that
3. chalk - @muscularmuppet
unarmed i could cough on him and win but armed id get headshot instantly but id win the long term emotional duel cuz hed cry about it and thats enough for me to put him at #3
4. creek (on the left) - @postalshrimpy
if i could get his coffee away from him i think hed just wither away but i think that might be a little hard cuz he has a thing that lets him manifest like. a pole and that might hurt
5. abayomi - @jortathan
dude walks around w a 40 pound hat and plays ddr but i think i could beat him in an arm wrestle so maybe id be ok perhaps
i wanna believe id stand a chance against him so bad i do not want to lose to this guy
6. vektor - @skeletood
they got poisons and i got food poisoning one time and that hurted my tummy super bad so
and also bros a little bit of a fucker and would probably hurt my feelings :(
7. mags - @dessasterlabs
they pulled a knife on multiple people throughout the course of a few hours and dead legged dan i do not doubt that they could and would rock my shit if i stepped closer to them at all
my heat tolorance is high but not high enough to withstand real actual magma
8. johnny j and june - HollyerThanThou (on art fight)
theyre a duo so they already have numbers on me- junes cracked w metal n i do b having metal on me, and johnny can do at least 1 more pushup than i can :(
9. gilbert constello and falsetto- @thelionsrage and neki - DalastorRadio on toyhouse
imagine the emotional toll
10. all the gay campaign characters i could find on art fight at the time - HollyerThanThou and also Monkrilla on twitter
thats 8 whole ass people 2 of which i already know are kicking my ass
ive seen some of their character sheets im so fucked

Having FINALLY finished Side Order as compensation for not being able to play Grand Fest anymore (cries) and taking into account the official lyrics for Suffer No Fools and Three Wishes (cries again, harder this time), I have to say I could not be happier at how blatant theyve made it that yes, Pearl and Marina are gay, yes, they always have been, and yes, they are being gay right now. Marina's jump-cuddle-hug in OE? Gay. Pearl's declaration of love on live television after the Final Fest? Gay. Marina's anime drawings of Pearl? Gay. Pearl? Gay. Marina? Gay. These - look at me - these two cephalopods?? Gay!! 🏳️🌈⁉️👍🗣
And I gotta say, confirmed obvious yuri does hit different, especially when you were already invested in the unconfirmed version that could've been supposed to be interpreted as friendship. The way they throw themselves after each other in SO, their elevator dialogue, Marina's laptop desktop picture being of Pearl, her diaries talking about their relationship as an actual relationship (haven't gotten all of them yet, excited for more gay shenanigans in there), their performance at the Grand Festival, all of this is so so nice to see. Their lyrics to Three Wishes still make me cry with how heartfelt they are.
While the Squid Sisters sing about their journey so far, and Deep Cut about their journey that lies ahead, Pearl and Marina, especially in their chorus, sing about how they complete each other, and that being together "makes today/every day perfect", which is why they don't need to dream of another time; They have each other right now. "My north star", "Overlapping cycles, binary stardom", I mean come ON. Lesbians try to not write poetry about each other that would make William Shakespeare jealous challenge, difficulty impossible.
I just have to scream about it somewhere how fucking happy and emotional these two fictional gay people make me, whether in songs like We're So Back or Three Wishes, in cutscenes, in dialogue, or in hidden text that rewards you for completing a very fun DLC again. And their entire Grand Fest appearance, interlocking hands in the middle of the cover art, proud, open, fucking LESBIANS. Raaaaah Off the Hook you will always be peak ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥
#“voice like an angelfish” I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE#splatoon 2#splatoon 3#pearlina#off the hook#FAVOURITE IDOLS FOREVERRRRR#I am honestly happy team past won since it adds such an incredibly beautiful conclusion to the trilogy#BUT I FOUGHT HARD FOR MY GIRLS!!!!!!#raaaah#ok that had to go somewhere#i gotta replay Octo Expansion dude

UZI HEADCANONS.
I WON'T BREATHE UNTIL WE GET UZI HEADCANONS.
(dies after five minutes)
the way my heart dropped because Uzi is the one character I don't think about that much. alright time to push myself into OVERDRIVE
Uzi Doorman Headcanons
Her favorite anime is Dragon Ball Z, and her favorite character is Android 18 (ty for my friend @steampunk-arc-knight for helping me bc I know nothing about DBZ)
Got into FNaF before. Listened to NateWantsToBattle and JT Music religiously (Her favorite was Bonnie because purple)
She didn't fully get over her crush on Thad until Episode 4
Everyone and their mom has this headcanon, but. She's bi
Some human bands she listens to are: Paramore, Set it Off, and Icon For Hire
Will shout "BITE ME!" at even inanimate objects, like chairs and tables, if she runs into them
Misses her railgun </3
Had absolutely no idea Doll was her cousin. Like at all. And will likely never know
I feel like she wouldn't give a damn about pronouns. She? That's fine. They? Okay. It? YES I AM A THING FEAR ME RAAAH!! Neopronouns? YES. I AM AN ENIGMA. RAAAAAH!!!!!!
Calls pill babies "things"
I think she would think babies are gross. Human and Drone
When she realized her feelings for N, she listened to "Monster" by Dev on repeat. Y'know the "Call the doctor, call the doctor, something must be wrong with me! He's a monster, why do I want cha?" song? Yeah that one
Watched ALL of Naruto. Every single thing. Her favorite was Kakashi (I know nothing about anime)
Loves horror movies n stuff. She laughs at them sometimes, though recently she's been less accustomed to the gore (because Solver's a BITCH)
Thinks she could kiss V if she wasn't so... herself. And also wasn't dead. Probably
I think she also would've listened to musicals, like Heathers and Dear Evan Hansen and maybe even Be More Chill. Possibly even Hamilton
Chronically online
Wish there was more but!! Most of these were on the fly. ALSO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG. You are most likely well and dead bc you held your breath for like. months LMFAO--

Insane raaaaah they’re doing this part justice. Honestly it was even better than the game because they focused on the resistance fighters and some of the other S and B models. We really have got a lot of the resistance characters in this anime which I love. Makes all these events hit a lot harder and makes Lily even more bad ass. I got some order 66 flashbacks seeing the B models all turn on their S counterparts. Those were brutal scenes, kinda want a 12B spin off now though lmao.
Think the commander is starting to be suspicious of the humans on the moon too. Even she was taken aback when they gave them access to the orbital lasers and other weapons.
Speaking of which, animation and sound design during the big crane fights, aerial battles and lazer scenes were awesome! Great job A-1

RAAAAAH I LOVE YOUR MOSS GUY SO MUCH THEYRE SO ME FOR REAL (name is Moss, likes moss, is moss)
ANYWAYS
What do you think Jay's favorite animal or plant is (that's their name right), what's their favorite hobby maybe?
(I'm eating him, I'm eating them I'm putting them in the microwave, turning them into soup and consuming)
Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you love him, I’m thinking of returning to activity on here just to feed the small Dr. Fern nation here - -“
His favorite animal are snails and hedgehogs, their favorite plant is the marimo ball, (bonus) his favorite flowers are daisies and tulips. Their favorite hobby aside from gardening and botany is embroidery, pottery and sculpting ^^

This is why I love your posts. The sandwich. THE SANDWICH. I knew it was a sign on reconcillation between them--But I failed to realize how him eating the sandwich with the syrup in is also symbolic of how he is finally letting Marcille (who is a sweet person) in.
You make me realize stuff about Ryoko Kui's work and make me love it more. Because platonic or not, that is canon and intentional no doubt considering the detail the aithor puts in their work!♡♡♡
THE SANDWICH, THE FRICKING SANDWICH, I KNOW RIGHT!! The bicorn chapter. THE BICORN CHAPTER I STG. I love it so much, it really is the climax of their arc together. I keep alluding to it latelu but I think you’ll like the analysis I’m working on rn finally properly dissecting their complementary character arcs. Btw funnily enough I myself only remembered about the sandwich/realized what it meant when reading a russian marchil fic lol 🫶 I looove how "This sweetness in my meal isn’t what I expected but it isn’t so bad, shouldn’t have looked down upon the idea" is the final metaphorical comment of the chapter and thus their arc I looove how the sweetness is optimism, it’s nice things happening in his life and him being surprised pikachu face about it, it’s like Puckpatti and Marcille taking on life with a glass half full approach, and I love how it’s also her. Kui is genuinely such a storytelling genius.
You know, sometimes I wonder like "Ok but did Kui intend marchil, on some level maybe perhaps………. Nahhhh, pshhh, haha." And then I remember how him liking blondes is apparently important and relevant (bc Kui keeps emphasizing on it) and how he sees her as if she has anime sparkles around her hair as per his shapeshifter of her, and I remember- UGH I remember like all the marchil crumbs ever and how narratively important they were to each other and all the times he risked his life for her specifically and blushed and teased (my god he has a blushing tsundere Marcille surrounded with sparkles in his head of what he thinks happens when he teases her my GOD). I’m like, Kui did you know what you were doing. KUI. KUI IS HE CANONICALLY ATTRACTED TO HER. IS THERE SOMETHING THERE.
THE BICORN CHAPTER RAAAAAH.
#Ask#Well. Canonically he at least really likes her hair color. That is something ig 🧍 Kuiiii pls I wanna know. Elaborate. Speak on that. Go on.#Marchil#The sandwich… 🤯 <- me when I got it#I am an humble OTP-haver and canon feeds me well#Oh but yes yes ty muchly for the nice words :> Striving to give good analysis on the table so glad it works out. I swear I’m not gonna be#Projecting my ship into the arc analysis one I want it to be read by non-marchilheads as well bc oughhh their arc truly is so good and cano#and well made…#The other posts in my drafts I’m giving priority to is a Kaka compilation bc I’m entering my Kaka era + an analysis of beastkin tattoos#Chapter 56 bicorn

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to my silly little blog! I am Sm01_Sis but you can call me Chloe! Either one is fine.
I am a 21-year-old artist from Australia who dabbles in multiple art forms. I am mostly self-taught and have been drawing since I was young but started to take it more seriously since about 2014.
Here are some of my favorite media that I partake in regularly that I may feel inclined to post my works if and when I remember that I have social media!
- Digital Art
- Traditional Art (Particularly in Pen for some reason)
- Sewing
- Embroidery
- Vinyl Cutting (RAAAAAH I am a menace for stickers)
I am currently completing a Bachelor in Creative Arts (Costume Design) and may be working up the courage to post some of my both in-progress and finished garments!
Being an Artist, I have created quite a number of OCs,,,some might say more than I actually know what to do with,,,AND like most creators, they get referred to as my children. (I love them all, they are all my babies fr)
Aside from Art, I enjoy listening to music and watching anime! I love Hatsune Miku so much ;;-;;
Feel free to have a browse, maybe like? comment? Whatever it may be as you enjoy your stay ( ^ω^)

So I greatly enjoy drawing them both. I cant draw anthros all that well and I have more fun drawing distinct human heads, sooooo here's that. I wanted them to be vaguely cats tho, which is why they have the tails and Vik has such big teefers
Anyways, this one was an adorable idea my partner and I had where Mordecai and Viktor spend time reading together where it's just utterly silent bc they're both exhausted and need the silence, but they still wanna be around each other. I think they work since they'd both benefit from a few quiet hours together where they just hang out (quality time love language aka me projecting).
ALSO WHY TF IS VIKS HAIR SO CONFUSING ITS SLOWLY TURNING INTO THE HAIRSTYLE MY MAIN OC JAX HAS SINCE IVE DRAWN JAX SO MUCH WHILE ANIMATING RAAAAAH-
anyways enjoy the gays :)

disorganized thoughts on fionna and cake eps 5 and 6
(Spoilers!!)
ok ive only seen the eps once each and im going off of memory so a lot of this is probably gonna be paraphrased and mixed up but whatever . also this post is really fucking long lol sorry
-OK FIRST OFF THESE WERE SO GOOD RAAAAAH
-obviously we are in the farmworld, not surprised but very happy!!!
-also not very surprised fionna and cake immediately went along with simon’s plan
-the whole time they were talking about where to find a crown i was like lol. simon don’t look behind you
-cake bringing fionna a dead rat was really funny
-the versucci gag or whatever was also really good
-but what made me die was fionna talking abt how she’s played a lot of post apocalyptic rpgs and then it pans over to “man who has actually lived through the apocalypse”
-was really cool to see how the farmworld has developed after what happened with ice finn, i think it’s interesting how they’re more technologically advanced since the first time an ice age happened in this world they pretty much reverted to medieval times (does that make sense. you know what i mean)
-i was SO convinced jay was farmworld finn’s little sibling so when he said dad my heart stopped
-the name jay didn’t immediately click until bonnie was revealed to be one of his other kid’s name and i was like HOLY SHIT PUHOY???
-veeeery interesting since assumingely golb destroyed/erased the pillow world
-i guess you could just chalk it up to finn would have named his kids the same thing in any universe?
-but i mean speaking of his kids GOD he got busy with huntress wizard
-i mean it has to be huntress wizard. one of them looks just like human hunter wizard
-sucks that she died though
-simon’s ship of theseus thing was so fucking funny oh my god he’s just like me fr (i started talking about the ship of theseus in one of my assignments a few days ago and i was like. is this too nerdy.)
-i haven’t really talked about farmworld finn yet. a little sad he turned out so cold (pun not intended oops 😭) because of what happened to him when he was younger
-good on him for saying simon was a damn fool or whatever for wanting to put the crown on lol
-i wish they actually had a talk though
-cake saying fionna should kiss him while knowing he’s just an alternate version of her??????? girl
-also farmworld jake still being alive was crazy
-so it did turn out the crown was destroyed in this world, i honestly wasn’t sure since the crown from the main world survived direct contact with a comet lol
-the romeo and juliet style romance going on between finn’s kid and big destiny’s kid was really good
-finn showing up with bartram lmao!!!!!
-dude i love bartram, the bit in finn the human where finn’s mom says that they have to sell the mule and then bartram’s head peaks out from the bed in the corner is unironically one of my favorite jokes in adventure time
-i kinda forgot what happens between here and the end
-so did farmworld finn fucking die????
-idk what happened there i sure hope not
-i really don’t know if we’re going to revisit these worlds in any capacity considering the amount of time left but i hope we do now!! i feel like we need to see what happens lmao
-now for ep 6
-wasn’t really expecting it to open on “fionna world” as they started calling it
-i was wondering how they were gonna balance gumball and marshall yaoi with what’s going on with the main trio
-they did it really well though i think
-i also wasn’t really expecting to be introduced to winter king right away once we got back to the main plot
-he definitely gave me weird vibes right from the start im gonna be honest lol
-blaah i don’t really remember what happens between that and the winter wonder world sequence
-so ill just talk about that. holy fuck
-every review i read before the show came out was really hyping this scene up and i get why now
-was really cool to see the beyond the grotto animation again and the song was so good it’s still stuck in my head
-but the moment the winter king said he overcame the crown with sheer will i was like. um. im calling bs
-i was just thinking however it did happen though i have a bad feeling about! felt really bad for simon and when he said that he sucked i was like. oh no ☹️ dude
-the moment i saw little ice marcy pretty much cemented it for me i was like oh no something fucked up is happening here. tbh i still can’t really figure out what happened with that but given what the winter king said about making an ice betty. uhhhhhhhhhh
-OH YEAH cake once again saying simon and the winter king should kiss . GIRL WHAT ARE YOU ON
-i looooved crazy pb
-i remember when people were saying she was a marcy pb child lmao.
-simon saying that he wanted to “fix her” while the winter king just wanted to kill her was really interesting. im trying to figure out what it means lol. like we know that simon wants to be the ice king again but also now knowing he would want to fix and save someone from that madness…idk
-her song was really good
-her playing those ominous notes on her keyboard made me laugh
-i haven’t really talked about gumball (im not calling him gary im sorry) and marshall. i thought they were really cute!!! could definitely see marcy and pb meeting in a similar way
-the juxtaposition between gumball talking about his creations to fionna fighting the fucked up versions of them was really cool
-i hope gumball doesn’t take what the lemoncarbs said to heart . they’re just like that
-ok so. I was honestly more shocked that fionna kissed (a version of) simon than him disintegrating seconds after lmaooooo
-i have to wonder why he immediately died here when in betty (the episode) he was dying relatively slowly without the crown’s magic
-ive been writing down a bunch of crack theories and the first thing ive gotten right was the winter king transferring his craziness to pb lol lets goooo
-i was thinking that simon might’ve transferred it himself but then i was like nooo he wouldn’t do that….apparently he would do that
-idk despite how he seemed i think the winter king was still a little insane in the membrane.
-maybe the crown was still influencing him in some way? and that’s the message here? idk
-i can’t believe bi fionna is real
-back to gumball and marshall. gumball describing slumber party panic……oh my jod 🥺🥺🥺
-the baby world was so cute
-“and i’ll be cursed the right way” simon do you fucking hear yourself
Ok that’s definitely not all i have to say but this post is long enough lmao ,, god this show is SO GOOD i can’t believe it’s real. ok that’s all

Gundam Unicorn OVA 1: Day of the Unicorn
I enjoyed this quite a lot.
Banagher is a responsible father. Stick a "baby on board" decal on the back of his work mech.
I think it's probably pretty rare for fans who don't know Japanese to read the Unicorn novels before watching the anime. They weren't even fully translated until well after the anime finished airing. Even nowadays, when we have the full fan TL available, I doubt many people decide "Yes, I will read an edited machine translation of ten light novels, even though I know the series has been adapted into seven anime episodes of movie length and quality and I have never watched them". It was novel-only character information that first caught my interest, though, so I get to do it the unusual way.
Will this make a difference in my perception of the anime? Who knows. I don't actually know much about what fan reception was like back in 2010-2014, in either the west or Japan.
Thoughts below.
I'll start with complaints first, since I have only one:
👎 Removed all textual and visual indication of Banagher being multiracial / Syam being Middle Eastern.
Why did they do this. I was genuinely surprised and disappointed to see this from Gundam, since the franchise has a history of diverse casts all the way back to 1979. Gundam 00 would have finished airing just a year before this came out, and that had two brown-skinned Middle Eastern protagonists. Did they hit a quota or something?
Things I really liked:
👍 Everything is beautiful.
It's so pretty. The way characters and expressions are drawn is pretty. The mechs are pretty. The death lasers and the resulting explosions are pretty.
The backgrounds! Ship interiors, industrial sites, the signs and posters in the city. It's all gorgeous.
👍 Robot Status: Wow, Cool
I looove the design of the cockpits and UI. I'd already seen the same setup used in Hathaway's Flash, but it’s not any less impressive here. It's so cool. It's SO cool. I love watching the little markers for the funnels pop up.
The mixing of 3D and 2D for complex scenes is pretty seamless, except for the bit at the very end where the Unicorn transforms. My suspension of disbelief can easily survive a few seconds of recognizable CGI.
God, the robots are cool. I love seeing the Kshatriya in motion.
👍Great use of one of my favourite little Gundam things: characters moving around in zero / reduced gravity.
There are some real weird shots in this one.
I love specialized architecture and infrastructure for low gravity environments! I love characters who are accustomed to living in space being strangely indifferent to the concept of up and down! I love deliberately confusing or unsettling camera angles! Raaaaah!!!
👍👍👍👍👍 MUSIC
It's good music.
The part of the score where the violins start going sour while Cardeas threatens Banagher, until it's just an ugly atonal mess? Love that.
I like that spooky echo sound they use sometimes-- I'm genuinely not sure whether it's built into the music tracks or an added sound effect? I interpreted it at first as an indication of Newtype Shenanigans, but it also seemed to show up in other moments that were dramatic or had a lot of deaths. Though I suppose a lot of people dying is something newtypes would pick up, so maybe it still is meant to represent that. I don't know. The sound is cool.
Some miscellaneous commentary, mostly but not exclusively about comparisons the novels:
Things move more quickly in the OVA than the novels, and the audience knows less about the characters. This is an inherent difference of medium and format. We spend less time inside the characters' heads, and this can give a very different first impression-- particularly of Banagher as the protagonist.
My impression of OVA Banagher is that he's a daydreamer, longing for something he can't place. Novel Banagher can also be described this way, but at least to me he felt more worn down and resigned in his detachment. The anime version has more of a wistful, almost romantic vibe. Maybe it's just those big ol' eyes.
Once he's seen the Unicorn, OVA Banagher has some kind of switch flip in his brain. From that point on, as soon as he gets an impulse, he is GOING. We aren't privy to any of his internal deliberation, just the snap decisions as they happen. He seems a lot more confident without his internal thoughts narrating everything, but also less socially aware.
Here's an actual change for you: in the OVA, Banagher actively volunteers to help Audrey get to the colony builder when she starts to leave. In the novel, she directly asks for his help-- and he says no!
He felt a pull to help when he saw she was in danger, but after they crashed he could hear police sirens. He didn't want to get in any more trouble after his little stunt, so she called him spineless and ran off. He has a whole little arc where he tries to just go back to school like nothing happened until Marida shows up and literally twists his arm. The guilt of ratting Audrey out is the push that makes him change his mind and go after her.
Some of the scenes this change skips were cute, but getting more of Banagher hanging out with Mineva when they aren't being actively chased is nice. It's also just a smartly economical use of time. I do think the change makes Banagher feel meaningfully different, though.
I was fond of him being a little more conflicted and moody, but there's also something really funny about a guy who so single-mindedly barrels into situations. He really does seem supernaturally compelled.
Just a laser guided missile of a boy. Hyperfocus: maximum.
Knowing a bit less about characters like Audrey and Marida works very well. We know about as much as Banagher.
Audrey is obviously someone important, but they don't even say the word "princess" until the VERY end-- like four minutes left on the runtime. They never drop her real name. We get all that through narration long before this in the novels (as well as a lot more direct discussion of the Sleeves and Zeon in general).
We get ZERO interiority or backstory for Riddhe in this first one. His first introduction is saving Audrey and Banagher's friends. They pointedly show you his little airplane charm with a special sound effect for like, two seconds maybe, so quickly you can barely process what it is. Very interesting.
We also know less about Banagher's mom… not necessarily a LOT less, but enough to feel like she's being kept a mystery.
Trust the process, Banagher.
This whole scene-- especially the face journey Banagher goes through-- is lovely.
Marida's civilian disguise is better in this version. Like, in-universe, I mean. She's serious and imposing at a glance in this coat look, which is important when we don't get to see her terrorize and physically overpower Banagher. Probably the right choice to redesign the look, but I did like the novel's gag of her being dressed like sharp-dressed secretary except conspicuously wearing sports shoes so she can still run and fight.
Very fun framing here of Cardeas' dramatic lore dump about newtypes, where it's being told over cool mech combat for the audience, but then they cut back to Zinnerman, who is already sick to bastard death of this guy. Stop expositing, old man, I'm here for a business transaction.
I always love when characters see a Gundam and just say "Gundam". It's good every time.
Gundam.
