our foster boy Thurston wouldn't let me work in peace so he was drafted.

we're still working on his typing skills, but he does have a lot of things to say.

TLG: Battle for the Pridelands Sketches

To celebrate the 5th Anniversary of one of my favorite episodes of TLG, I decided to do some sketches of some takeaways I had during a rewatch of the episode:

1. Wema, Tunu, Dogo, and Kijana aged up to how old I think they'd be around the time of the episode. Why were they not aged up?? Kiara, Tiifu, Zuri, and Mtoto were given some specific age models only used in this episode, why not the Outlander kids? I feel the jackals would be the equivalent to 12 years old by this time, while Wema and Tunu would be like 8-year-old kids.

2. I've heard people ask where the zebras and baboons were during the final battle, and for a while I was like "Yeah aren't they significant recurring characters? Where even were they in the Pridelands Army arc of Season 2?", but THEN it dawned on me: Baboon. Zebra. Cavalry. When watching the scene where everyone charges to the Outlands, I saw the galagos riding the sable antelope and went "haha like horses, that'd be funny if it was with zebras because equines", then I was like "baboons would probably be like humans while riding zebras" and I was just "WAIT IS THAT WHY PEOPLE WANTED THOSE ANIMALS IN THIS EPISODE". So here we are, Big Baboon and Thurston team up to surprise the Outlanders (and even the Pridelanders) by doing what they do best -- throwing fruit and panicking and running, respectively.

3. A sketch of this sudden visual I got during Ushari and Scar's conversation where Scar promised that Ushari and the rest of the reptiles would have whatever's left of the ravaged Pridelands. I instantly imagined the Pridelands becoming this unrecognizable wasteland ideal only for heat-seeking reptiles after the disastrous volcanic eruption Scar had in mind. The environment would be a tad like something out of the Mesozoic era.

4. One of my favorite aspects of this episode: The famous important-as-hell-but-vaguely-presented lore drop of the Strange Lion's (actually pretty ambiguous) existence as well as his actions accelerating Scar's entitlement and envy of Mufasa (which would kickstart the very premise of the first movie and the franchise as we know it). I love this guy's design for the same reason I love Zira's -- it's just so consistent in shapes and colors that all match with each other.

5. I find it funny that in order to not interfere with the events of TLK 2, TLG just decided to have it so the Outsiders would be completely out of the loop of the fact that Scar's spirit returned. It could easily be explained that Scar kept Zira out of it on purpose, or that he didn't know (and possibly didn't care) that she was still around. I have to think that the Outsiders don't live too far from the Outlands Volcano, so they've had to have heard some commotion and wonder what on earth could be going on. Looks like Zira's fanatic spiritual connection with her beloved Scar can apparently be heard by her peers.

List of my top ten favorite Yokai from Yo-Kai watch in order from most to least favorite or something idk

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Thurston: I love everything about him! Like, when the game first came out I literally wrote pages and pages of Wattpad-style fanfiction about him with so many different characterizations, to the point that his different interpretations split off into two separate OCs who I still have to this day, who I then shipped him with along with his other two versions, Draculadoji and Shutencaesar. I was very normal about him.

Tattlecakes: I also love her design, she seems so friendly and sweet, plus I love an old lady character who can still kick your ass. When I wasn't writing about Thurston getting shipped with himself, I was writing Yo-kai Watch Blasters found family fanfiction where Thurston and Tattlecakes meet with other yokai while trapped in a dungeon and then they bond while trying to escape together.

Jibanyan: Yeah, he's the mascot character, but he's the mascot for a reason. He's got a strong personality, he's funny, has an amazing backstory that never fails to make me cry no matter how many times I watch/play it, was really cool in YKW Shadowside, and serves as a perfect foil for whisper's tomfoolery.

Rattelle: She's an icon, a legend, a fashionista, and so much more. I adore her design, and would love to cosplay her someday, and she has enough presence in the games to where she has a fairly established characterization as sassy, confident, and style-savvy. If archaeologists ever find my bones, they won't even be able to misgender me because I'll be serving 100% Rattelle.

Usapyon: He's a perfect companion and foil for Hailey-Ann, I love the twist that he's an otter, and not a rabbit, and he's so cool, funny, and cute at the same time. His backstory was genuinely so bittersweet and it makes me cry whenever I revisit the third game. Also, space and Star Wars reference.

Shutendoji: I love him, from his story about the fall of the Oni tribe's rule and trying to bring back the original ruler, to his relationship with Douketsu and Shuka, and all the stuff in between that I can't quite call to mind right now. I hated him in Shadowside though, he felt like a totally different character. He also looks cool.

Foiletta: You would think she's a mean girl until she helps you put a curse on your cheating ex, also she was super helpful during my first run of Yo-Kai Watch 2.

Mermother: Gorgeous, powerful, has the 10/10 best soultimate no notes.

Whyvern King: If I'm being honest I mostly like him because he looks like Great Value Thurston.

Fukurou: He's my poor little meow meow. That's all.
