what do you think of the designs of the badges in pokemon scarlet and violet compared to the designs of the badges in past pokemon games?
I'll be honest I haven't played Scarlet or Violet so I had to Google what they looked like and the fact it was difficult to find a picture with all the badges and I could only view them all on a zoomed in YouTube thumbnail, oof that ain't it fam. I'll give the game the leeway of its a new game therefore there may be less footage but after some research I found you don't even have a badge box? Which. I'm taking away points again there cause no badge box?? No easy view?? Gotta view one at a time? Nah. Hate that personally.
While looking at the badges as well, again probably because I haven't played it, but I genuinely couldn't identify which was what, like okay the link fairy looking one probably fairy, ice cream probably ice type, the weird block probably steel, paint palette? Paint type??? Though it's probably normal type though Larry is that gym leader I think and that doesn't actually make sense now I'm thinking about it? Obviously flower plant thing for grass, I was a bit disappointed there the grass type gym leader he's a bit of a menacing bramble thorn themed man he could've had a bramble thorn looking badge but no it basic leaf you'd think they'd give him or he'd be allowed a custom badge like do the gym leaders design them? If they do oof uninspired. Also blue one for water, bug for bug, yellow for electric type I think. But I saw at least 3 that I thought were dark type and wasn't sure on. They don't really feel very good in my opinion.
Now I do respect its probably hard to come up with decent designs game after game maybe they're running low on inspiration tank but compared to past games they don't feel very good. I never played sword or shield either but that badges make a circle shield idea was cool! If a little impractical I suppose like in a logical world sense, they're very weird shaped it'd feel strange showing off singular badges and it probably looks strange in your badge box but satisfying when you have them all that's fun. I think they should have fun with badges experiment.
A fun idea I just had, perhaps the next badge box because please bring it back is a scenery and getting the respective badges adds in that respective element to complete to picture, a badge that looks like flowing water that sits in the scenery as the start of the river, maybe a grass type plant that's a cluster of flowers or petal like shapes that make a barren patch a meadow of color ect. I dunno just thoughts.

Fic-to-Art #34: The development of Sokka and Azula's relationship
When you move to a whole new country, that's when your patrons are going to vote for the prompt that makes you want to go completely bonkers and that you would draw ten years worth of art for. Yep. So you try to condense that impulse into something you can finish in... 1 week? Sorta?
I honestly barely know how I managed to do it that fast, but hey, made it on time for the end of October, so here goes! A little walk through the history of these two and the evolution of their relationship in Gladiator.
The first GIF is mainly about Part 1, the second one's first two pieces are Part 2, the third piece is Part 3. The last two GIFs, of course, are both meant to be Part 3, with the final GIF being meant as a symbol of hope in many regards. I'm guessing some of you guys will pick up on a funny little hint about just what kinds of hopes we're talking about here...
Anyway! Now I hope you guys enjoyed these crazy artworks! It's a Halloween miracle that I finished them on time, haha. If you'd like to be part of the creative process behind these pieces, a 1$ pledge on Patreon is enough to make you eligible for suggesting prompts and voting on polls, as well as reading Gladiator snippets 6 days before the next chapter goes live!

Do you have any good Jonsasha fic recommendations? In line with your lovely posts about them?
Unfortunately Jonsasha that isn't poly//chives is thin on the ground. There's a few cute fics that I recced here but for dual archivists/eldritch js? There's jon/michael/sasha this series (which I'll admit looks VERY promising, and I keep meaning to get to it) and this fic but I haven't gotten around to either of them yet so I can't speak to their quality.
The only fic that I've read that came close to giving the JS vibes I'm so hungry for is this Jon//michael fic, which has one specific line that haunts me to this day: “'Once upon a time, a man named Jonathan Sims fell in love with his Archivist, Sasha James, and in trying to save her life, gave the world to the Beholding on a silver platter.'” (I hope if you decide to read the fic that this isn't too spoilery? I'm not sure what I'd think of it now that my TMA opinions have shifted so much from what they originally were, but I remember I quite enjoyed it at the time). I know it probably isn't quite what you're looking for but when I think Jonsasha I think of That One Singular Line. I hope I can make it haunt someone else the way it haunts me.

sorry for not being active for a while, i'm on vacation and my schedule is pretty packed + my wifi connection is pretty spotty :3
as an apology, i grant thee; Meeks family headcanons!!!
(might post this on my other account too)
Stephen ??? Meeks Sr. [father] - 46 years old, American
- born in Maryland
- was "present" in his family's lives until Stephen and Stephanie were about eight, then left. lives in Maryland now
- isn't divorced from Julieta only for convenience's sake, still shows up for his kids' school ceremonies/graduations so the heads don't think their home life is "wacky", doesn't show up to any other events
- engineer
- favourite family member used to be Stephen Jr. (before she ), now he hates them all equally
- is everyone's least favourite family member
- he, mr perry, and mr nolan would get along. i feel like that's enough explanation as to what kind of man/father he is
- has fist fought stacy before and will do it again
Julieta ??? Meeks [mother] - 45 years old, Italian
- born in Italy (Florence)
- currently lives in Maine with Stephanie
- overbearing mother. was extremely hesitant to send Stephen to Welton, a boarding school, where she can't easily reach her
- it's why Stephanie doesn't go to a boarding school
- otherwise amazing mother with some minor flaws and like one or two major flaws
- doctor (specifically cardiologist). dabbled in engineering when she was younger but gave it up for a while due to peer pressure. brought it back once stephen (jr) started showing interest
- favourite family member used to be just Stephen Jr., now it's a tie between her and Stella
- will indulge her children in just about anything (as long as it's not illegal (underage smoking/drinking is an exception)), especially different interests
Stella Ines Laura Meeks [oldest sister] - 25 years old, Italian/American
- born in Italy, Venice
- currently lives in Vermont
- Stephen's emergency contact
- married with one kid (2 years old) and expecting another
- paid astrology intern, will be an actual astrologist soon. always makes sure to tell stephen all about her research because she knows stephen loves stars
- highkey overbearing but is trying to rear it in in an attempt to not be just like her mother. has to bite her tongue everytime she sees the steph twins breaking rules
- favourite family member is their mother
- accidentally hid her first pregnancy from stephen throughout the school year, meaning when stephen came home for the summer and saw stella with a baby she just went "... who's goddamn baby is that"
Stacy Isabella Sofia Meeks [second oldest sister] - 21 years old, Italian/American
- born in Vermont
- currently lives in Maine
- Stephanie's second emergency contact (first is their mother)
- raising an adopted child (six years old) with her "best friend"
- studying psychology, wants to be a therapist specifically so she can "fix" her family (every member of the meeks family avoids therapy like the plague)
- super chill, wine aunt vibes. regularly sneaks cigs and alcohol to the steph twins
- favourite family member is a tie between Stella and Stephanie
- respecting elders for simply being elders? not her thing. has cussed out mr nolan before stephen even started attending welton
Stephanie Cristina Kennedy Meeks [twin sister] - 17 years old, Italian/American
- born in New York
- lives in Maine with her mother (and twin sister when she isn't at Welton)
- if goth music existed in 1959 she'd be goth/gothic
- favourite family member is Stephen
- steals stephen's and stella's clothes all the time. the others have to pry her clothes out of her cold dead hands (unless it's stephen)
- literally the only artist in the family, but is also interested in biology. wants to go to med school or art school, depending on her grades during senior year
- depending on which sort of school she ends up going to, she wants to either be an ER nurse or an art teacher
- has an aunt who's the dean of an art school, wants to work there as a professor or anything similar - preferably doing a 3D modelling class
Stephen Kennedy Chris Meeks Jr. - 17 years old, Italian/American
- born in New York
- lives in Maine with her mother and twin sister when not at Welton (Vermont)
- favourite family member is Stephanie, absolutely no way she could have a different favourite
- steals everyone's clothes but also gives back just as many
- does not plan to go to college/university if given the choice. will only go to Yale (engineering/physics) for Pitts and her mom
- wants to be some sort of mechanic or engineer, or even an engineering professor at some university, when she's older.
- if she doesn't end up going to university she wants to be a plane mechanic - her uncle has connections, especially in the air force so she knows he can get her sorted
- is on the fence about becoming a pilot - thinks it's cool but not sure if it's a good profession for her. willing to try
hope you enjoyed!! sorry if these headcanons are a bit cliche lol. also i am sorry for just blatantly throwing canon away like that
