Actually Scary Monsters

Something I appreciate about Code Lyoko is that the monsters never become a joke to the characters.

Too often shows-especially ones with power creeping-will turn initial/early enemies into jokes or cannon fodder. There's a gimmick that makes them obsolete after a few episodes, next season there might be a a hundred of them in the back for spectacle but none of the characters care.

Code Lyoko never forgets the threat any of the monsters pose. The characters get better at dealing with them, especially the ones they have more experience with, but the danger a kankerlot poses is equal to that of a tank in the right setting.

Even when new monsters are introduced its not to overshadow the old ones, but as a sign of X.A.N.A. gaining strength or adapting to a new environment.

It also makes it seem like X.A.N.A. has a proper military and isn't just tossing minions at the heroes. Tanks are tanks, mantas/hornets are air support, kankerlots are foot soldiers, krabs are riot troopers, tarantulas are heavy artillery, etc.

There’s this song from the 80s that reminds me a bit of Chappell Roan. It’s called “High School Confidential” by the Canadian band Rough Trade. It’s about the singer, Carole Pope recalling having a crush on the mean girl in high school. It’s bouncy new wave, has provocative lyrics and a really unique vocalist.

It was such a big part of my childhood because my parents and the radio played it a lot. I was always happy to hear it on the 1 radio station we had that played rock music from the “80s, 90s and Now”. It’d come on between songs by the likes of Limp Bizkit and Bryan Adams (Canada’s Springsteen).

And it’s so cool—it’s an absolute bop about a young queer woman having a crush on another woman. That was huge! Now there are a ton of singers who sing about that whether it’s Chappell Roan or Billie Eilish or Syd tha Kid. (Or Hayley Kiyoko or Kehlani or girl in red or Shura or Arlo Parks or Rina Sawayama or MUNA or Hollie Col or Sarah Barrios or Tegan and Sara or Zolita or Xana or Fletcher or King Princess or mxmtoon or Halsey or Dodie or Megan thee Stallion or Phoebe Bridgers or Julien Baker or Lucy Dacus… It’s a great time to be alive for fans of queer female singers folks!)

Anyway, I love this song. It’s an incredible artifact of the 80s. Goes to show women have been writing catchy songs about having crushes on bitchy straight girls since probably Sappho and this track was another step forward in pop music for queer women perpetually afflicted by yearning.

not enough people talk about how it keeps me up at night like a bad bad dream what if i never find someone who’s just like me our stars never aligned and we did a bad thing i hold onto these grudges like I WISH YOU HELD ME reluctantly surrender my incessant need for love so all consuming that it RUINS ME???? you promised it was real well i guess you misspoke, so call it what it is it’s a SICK sick joke and nobody’s laughing now i wanna be merciful i don’t know how swear im really trying but im all worn out and all that happened hurt me more than i care to talk about AND IT GOES AGAINST MY NATURE TO BELIEVE YOURE BAD but why’d you have to go and lie to me like that??? there always comes a point when you have to have your own back now’s as good a time as ever to learn that thankful that i never gave you all of me now i get to walk away with everything if i linger in your memory ERADICATE ME i never saw you coming but i felt you leave !!!! nobody’s laughing now gave myself the closure ‘cause i did my best i hope you never find the guts to make amends—

Been so long since I posted anything. I haven't really been working on individual artwork much lately.

So here is some fanart of the album of a singer I really like Xana (I like Monster right now). Now after posting this, I'll probably fall off the side of the earth for another couple of months before I post again.
