#🐉#last rb reminded me of my hater moment from a few months ago#not saying you cant use sun/moon symbolism but. consider other dynamics! theres so many out there.#im partial to moon/tides or tide/shore myself#OR try to do something unconventional with the sun/moon dynamic. interpret it! shake it up!

Yusuke Kitagawa Discovers Chiikawa
#yusuke kitagawa#The explanation is that he'd enjoy the simplicity of the design. Stroke economy. Good emotion from few line#After all to be able to convey something accurately in fewer strokes is a better symbol of mastery than doing it in many#< taken from my twitter#persona 5 royal#yusuke persona 5#p5r#chiikawa

Alas, this beautiful dream could not last.
#dungeon meshi#falin touden#dungeon meshi spoilers#better drawn mdzs#(<- my higher effort art tag. I need to get a new one.) While it's different from my usual style I really loved how this came out!#Strolling back to the art scene to remind everyone I am still a lover of botanicals.#I had a blast with the symbolism for this one:#White lilium longiflorum (easter lily) for rebirth. Purple hyacinthus orientalis for sorrow and forgiveness.#Red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) for loss and death.#'Rebirth into something new' is so well done in Dungeon Meshi. She is back but she is not the same.#The last few episodes/chapters gives her this dreamy quality to her. As if she's not quite real. She's so perfect in their memories.#And as we know of dreams - no matter how sweet- they must end once we wake up.#It is so painful to lose someone twice. To see someone you loved in a dream and wake up and remember that loss again.#Dungeon Meshi being a grief allegory is important to me. I'll explain more as the story continues B'*)

Jason flirting using lines and strategies from his favourite romance books. Except he doesn't use lines from Austen novels, because those are his feel good, idealistic romance stories that could never happen in real life because people don't get that kind of fancy love. You know what Jason bases his perception of his own romance on? Gothic romance. Shit like wuthering Heights. Jane Eyre. It's not realistic unless someone dies.
Jason: Be with me always -take any form- drive me mad!
Rose: does that mean you want me to carry on pegging you or-
****
Jason: *slips picture of Dick's friendgroup under the door with a little note scribbled on the back:* reader, I married him.
Dick: ...which one? Oh my god Jason which one? Get back here and tell it to my escrima sticks you coward!
****
Jason: whatever souls are made of, yours and mine are the same
Kyle: how insulting
****
Jason: if I ever die, would you lie in bed with me as I feel my forces leave me?
Rena: I will stay with you until you fall asleep.
#It's been a while since I read jane eyre but i do not think that death scene was intended as lesbian subtext#but my babygay ass who didn't know she was queer yet was obsessed with it and it's now imprinted in my heart as peak tragic yuri#yeah rena matches jason's freak :3#tbf i feel like they all would but i think they'd be surprised#rena would be like ah yes that's jason same as always and would not hesitate#also rena started reading gothic romance after jason died and told everyone she was dating a ghost#she claimed to have grown out of that phase after a few months but her ass was mapping through all the cemeteries in gotham#for over a year after his death until she found it and was so relieved she visited it all the time#bringing flowers with intense symbolism in there#girl didn't grow out of shit#dc#dc comics#jason todd#red hood#jayrose#jaykyle#implied jayroy#jayroy#jayrena

While they're certainly no dogs, I saw this art and knew instantly who it looked like:

.
#!!!!#oh no that's perfect#I don't know if you've noticed but I've included medieval unicorn imagery in a few Machete pieces#most notably there's a pair of them carved in the headboard of his canopy bed#lowkey trying to establish it as a recurring motif#and not only is Vasco fittingly gold colored#whenever I'm drawing him his face shape consistently reminds me of a lion#his muzzle is similarly wide and boxy#and he has lighter undereyes and dark rounded eyebrows#irl Vaschete sightings#answered#infector-insector#this would fit their historical setting pretty well too#both unicorns and lions are classic heraldic beasts and have significant presence in western european art and symbolism

Hey, i love your art and aus 💕!
So, sorry if this is a dumb question, but there is a reason why the blasphemous kwamis dont follow the rule of the double letter? (Ex: tiKKi, plaGG, xuPPu, triXX, poLLen, etc)
Sorry for my bad english, but that detail really got me curious tho
its an indicator of whether or not they might've been previously selected for a miraculous (you'll one or two blasphemous with doubles in their names, that's because the sage liked them on some level or was initially planning on letting them have a corporeal state before something fell through) or,
I simply did not want to add an extra letter
#replies#theres a few names i selected due to like... etymoloy or symbolism...#i didnt want to scramble what insight i could give by adding another letter just to keep with the weird doubles

Wedding timebomb headcanons
♡•♡• Before •♡•♡
Ekko is the one who proposes bc this man FOLDS when it comes to Jinx.
Ekko asks for permission to marry Jinxs to Vi. She does the interrogation and the 'if u hurt her ill hunt you down', but as I joke (is a joke right)
Jinx asks Sevika for SO MUCH advice, the poor woman doesn't know what to do
Mel gives Sevika advice to give to Jinx
♡•♡• During •♡•♡
They leave in the front row of the avenue (where the family is supposed to be) an empty seat for their dead family. (Vander, Banzo, Claggor, Mylo, etc)
SEVIKA IS FLOWER GIRL AND SHES THE BEST
Jinx dress has little marks painted all over, like X and the time symbol and hearts and just timebomb doodles
Ekko dies a stand of his hair blue for the wedding
Isha is bossing everyone around, her parents included
Jinx is SO NERVOUS and Vi and Sevika don't know what to do
♡•♡• After •♡•♡
Ekko's the kinda guy that says 'my wife' very change he gets
Jinx jokes about marrying Ekko only bc he's warm and gives good cuddles
Ekko gave Jinx a necklace so she could put the ring there when she was working and didn't want it to get dirty or smthing
#arcane#timebomb#jinx#ekko#isha arcane#they also tattoo eachothers symbols a few weeks after the wedding bc they love eachother and nothing can separate them#bosy Isha has me in a chokehold#shes the cutest#and more similar to ekko than one might originally think#SEVIKA FLOWER GIRL MY BELOVED#Mel doesnt go to the wedding bc its 'complicated'#timebomb just wants MelVika to get together already#bee's arcane brainrot

How would you redesign Headmaster Magneto? Just out pf curiousity because while he served it didn’t feel like… Erik.
i have to keep it 100 i have no idea without just. rerunning his original design but with a palette swap LOL but we try around here
#xmen#xmen comics#magneto#erik lehnsherr#snap sketches#CAUSE LIIIKEE i want to keep SOMEE elements of the headmaster look obviously#i like its design intent. or how i see its design anyway idfk .... idk what im sayin im sleepy#just gotta. throw a few more things on there .... maybe... again i dont know 😔#the bigass M just makes me think of megaman gigamix i cant even lie#having/wanting to keep this as a one piece/leotard with that big ass m is probablyl whats stumping me if im so tbh#for some reason the lack of 'underwear' and helmet really is doing a lot for it Not feeling like magneto#the helmet i get Thats His Symbol ATP but the underwear ..... girl idk Strong Man or something like that#its just awkward because headmaster magneto is Supposed to be more tame or . 'domesticated' i guess vjALKE#not less powerful but he shouldnt be as intimidating/outwardly powerful if. that makes sense???#the first thought seeing him shouldnt be 'hes going to stomp me to death' it should be. Not That LKVJAEKj#BUT AT LEAAASSST in the back of the mind being likek 'he could probably stomp me to death'#SOME power but not to a threatening degree idfk what im saying my TUMMY IS RUMBLIGN AGAIN#what did i eat todasy. i ate like five hot pockets today thats what i ate. and some grapes#idk im tired. maybe ill try this again down the line#anyway enjoy if you can. saturday is upon us which means i can DOODLE AGAIN

goats are frequently used as imagery to represent demons/the devil/etc and are one of the recurring animals referenced in the ars goetia's physical descriptions of its demons (as are lions, including a winged one), so i think having the demon appear to mithrun as a goat is useful narratively—his backstory establishes the nature of the demon as an ontological evil. it appears first as soft and small and white—almost like a lamb, which is similarly loaded imagery in the opposite direction—and grows huge and hungry and definitively goatlike. this tells you that the demon will first try to convince you of its innocence, but that the more it gives, the more it takes. by the time you recognize its true nature, it's too late.
but it isn't quite an ontological evil, it's just a living, starving infinity that will do anything to be fed. and the connotation carried by the image of a goat does not begin and end with the devil; as animals they're known for their voracious appetites.
when mithrun tells kabru his backstory, that is the audience's first introduction to the demon, the first confirmation that it even really exists, and having that sort of dual imagery sets the story up on both sides. we know now that we cannot trust the demon. later, we'll know that it's a creature driven by hunger like any other.
i think it tells us something about mithrun's personal arc too, though, particularly with regard to the revelations that mithrun is a deeply insecure person, that his true "last" desire was for it to finish him, and that he, like the other dungeon lords, missed the demon because it gave him love. a goat will eat anything, but his still spit him out.
#dungeon meshi spoilers#mithrun#dungeon meshi#this makes no sense if you didn't read him the way i did lmfao but i've seen a fair number of people over the past few months asking about#the goat symbolism so i'm finally throwing my take in#meshy

I love rebel fox's ridiculously big sleeves
So glad you do — I dearly love them too. So many opportunities for flourishing and swishing from a man you would expect to do exactly neither and never
Also. You have given me the opportunity to EXPOUND and I’m taking it

The sleeve is not only aesthetic, but so EXTRA

CW mutilation: Fox’s right hand index-finger: “Ahsoka’s Gift” - In the arc where Fives (appears) to get shot by Fox, enraged by this and by her treatment by the Coruscant guard during her trial arc, Ahsoka takes revenge on the offending digit that shot the gun. With her teeth, btw — it gets a bit wild. Side-note: It factors in for the other clones that Fox is not right-handed, but that’s the hand he uses to shoot Fives. Then again, most clones are trained/raised/adjusted to be ambidextrous, so — it’s just odd all around, from the outside.
GAR armor: In keeping with the AU title and inspiration (Repurposing GAR armor towards the end of pulverizing wrinkly Sith — A guide by CC-1010, ecstatically-ex-marshal commander of Coruscant), Fox has kept his GAR shoulder-guards, a cutout of his chestplate, and knee-guards (plus one shin-guard), though the paint on them has been adjusted or worn.
Oversized sleeve: Beneath the batwing sleeve and dramatic flair, Fox is hiding whatever the rebellion uses instead of the Mandalorian Whistling Birds, in addition to an elbow-mini-blaster that fires a max of four shots, and extra ammo. (Also the sleeve is removable — think detachable bridal train)
CW self-destruction: On the reverse side of his chest-plate piece, Fox has an explosive device with multiple ways to rig it to explode. While it is detachable and likely could be used to explode OTHER things, the primary intent is a last resort gesture of defiance should he run out of other options.
Fox also has a replaced tooth (which he makes use of, but no spoilers here) and a metal plate protecting the surgery point for when his chip was removed. Since Fox is Fox, he prioritized speed over care at the time, so it is permanent vulnerability due to how his skull was treated and recovered afterward.
Do you see the knifes on his thigh they are small but they are important
#fan art#artists on tumblr#star wars fanart#star wars: the clone wars#fix it au#commander fox#rebel!fox#I have quite a few hcs for this design#but also it’ll be delicious when there’s negotiations between the rebels and the Republic and Cody (who is present as the ONLY Marsh. Comm)#Is the only one who knows what’s under that stupid cape-sleeve thing bc Cody would absolutely do the same thing#Cody: *slaps Fox’s shoulder giving Obi-Wan a look right in the middle of a negotiation meeting between the rebels/GAR/Republic*#Cody: This shabuir can hold so much karkin weaponry#Cw: mutilation (minor)#Cw: Self-destruction (hypothetical)#this is so indulgent but please indulge with me#the GAR symbol over his heart and that being the piece that has the self-destruct device is the only brand of symbolism Fox can do#Repurposing GAR Armor AU#OmPu Ask Hours

Wonder is probably the only character to make Moon stop smiling lol. Something Forever Friends related, might be a future dialogue between the two. Though the majority of their talks will be more uh depressing maybe.
I do want Wonder to somehow be more understanding towards Sun and Moon, but also be a pain in the ass lol
I dunno, this is why I keep saying he is a complicated character to write and draw for (ʘᴗʘ✿)
