Just finished this sketch page of my favorite guys from my favorite things before leaving to get my wisdom teeth removed <3

1: Three - The Murderbot Diaries

2: Tim / “Masky” - Marble Hornets

3: Stanley & The Adventure Line™- The Stanley Parable

4: N - Pokémon Black & White

5: Ryouta & Anghel- Hatoful Boyfriend

6: Isaac & Hector - Castlevania

7: Wander & Agro - Shadow Of The Colossus

8: Uta & Yomo - Tokyo Ghoul

9: Freckles the Jelly Bean Puppy & Kyan the Peace Puppy - My Webkinz

I was also planning on including Erza Scarlet and Freed Justine from Fairy Tail, Wes from Pokémon Colosseum, and Connor from Detroit Become Human, but I ran out of room, so maybe next time! Also please ignore what I’m sure is a plethora of wonky proportions. I did this in a real life sketchbook (and then moved around the drawings a bit in Clip), so I never flipped my canvas, and now I never will because I’m scared.

Shadow of the colossus

Wander and Agro

[thedanliest]

Out of all the photo mode stuff I've posted, my Shadow of the Colossus photos seemed to be the most well-received, so how about some more?

[aberooski]

Replaying Shadow of the Colossus again for the first time in an astounding SIX YEARS somehow??? And I'm 10 colossi down, 6 to go, and AUGH it just feels like home being back I love this game so much 🥰🥰🥰

Shadow of the Colossus (2018) 1/?

[shadow-ofthe-colossus]

Made a Shadow of the Colossus tier list. Ratings are based on- Design, Introductory cutscene, How fun they are to fight, If they made me cry, and general badassery.

I would LOVE to be roasted and hear your opinions!?

[miza-hime]

Some low poly shadow of the colossus work i did for an unfinished project i was working on involving cut content from the game

[sparkylurkdragon]

Fully upgraded Agro's speed, so now she can truly live up to her namesake's theme song. :)

[st-hedge]

May it’s a sign that I should sober up a lil cuz I left sotc running while went off to get something and came back to see on the screen wander leisurely reclining on agro in an idle animation I’d never seen before and I couldn’t stop laughing for too fucking long

Day 4 of Neighvember is Agro from Shadow of the Colossus! I remember this was the game that made me want to get a PS2. A friend of mine back in high school used to come visit with theirs and we would play Harvest Moon and Dynasty Warriors. And I saw online screenshots of SotC and my first thought was "I CAN RIDE A HORSE" xD

It has been one of my all time fav games. The fight with Dirge was always a favorite. Not only did it terrify me but it was like I had to put my in-game horsemanship to the test! It's you and Agro against this giant colossus. I had a heart attack each time she took a hit, but she always came back and ready to go ;u; the bravest girl!!

[nectarwine]

Today in SotC I learned that:

• Wander can jump onto Agro's back from a height

• Wander will push off of walls while swimming for a diving boost

• Agro refuses to swim but will happily throw herself off a 10 meter cliff

The many Anagrams of Radagon

Because I found an anagram generator and felt like applying a little confirmation bias to the results, for fun:

"Adan Gor" - Adan, Thief of Fire is a character in Elden Ring. "Gor" is a dialectical oath variant of "god", with well known uses including Moby Dick ("And, by Gor, none of you has de right to dat whale"). Gor is also Old English meaning "dung". Seems like Adan and Dungeater worship the same sun god.

"a dog ran" "a god ran" - the dog part is self explanatory as Radagon is described as a leal hound and here we see that Radagon was a dog god who fled.

"rand oga" - "rand" and "oga" are both Old English/proto-Germanic meaning altogether "on the edge of terror". As blacksmith Hewg says of Marika (who is Radagon): "The sheer terror of her…". In the deep FromSoft history, there was once a minor miner NPC character in King's Field (1994) called "Rand Ferrer" whose name means "on the edge of a blacksmith".

"A Dragon" - I think that the Elden Beast is a fine example of a sparkle dragon. The dragon is also a symbol of the never-ending cycle of alchemy, as both prime materia and the end product. The dragon is endlessly splitting into brother and sister parts and recombining into the divine hermaphrodite - so says Carl Jung in CW12 "Psychology and Alchemy". And the connection that I make personally is that the red-haired Rand al'Thor as the 'Dragon Reborn' is the main character of the Wheel of Time books (1990-2013), whose name means "on the edge of a god" because that's really just his whole character arc in a nutshell. Two of the most significant supporting characters are a blacksmith named for the blacksmith god Perrun and an Odin-expy trickster. See above usage of 'Rand Ferrer''.

"naga d'or" - "naga" is Hindu meaning "a member of a race of spirits recognized in Hinduism and Buddhism that have mingled superhuman and serpent qualities, are genii of waters and rain, and live in a subaqueous kingdom", and "d'or" is French meaning "of gold". Elden Beast seems to exist in a plane of endless water and is a creature of the Golden Elden Ring. Though it is tempting to guess that this might be a DLC payoff one.

"Ra Dagon" - "Ra" Egyptian god of the sun and "Dagon" the principal deity of the ancient Middle Euphrates region. Also the Lovecraftian Dagon fish god thing.

"Ra Gonad" - Ra is god of all of the sky (and earth and underworld), not just the sun. Venus was born of the testicles of Uranus - god of the sky - thrown into the sea. The second phase of Malenia's fight is styled as an allusion to Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus". So technically this one can work with Radagon as a link between his own father the old god of the sky and/or sun and his daughter Malenia.

"Agro DNA" - from the slang term "agro" meaning "aggressive". Perhaps that Radagon has an aggressive nature in his genes. He is something of a Beast.

"And Agro" - as in "Radagon and Agro" - the name of the horse from the Shadow of the Colossus (2005). Elden Ring similarly has the player form an attachment to horse. Notably, The Shadow of the Colossus was directly cited as an inspiration for Elden Ring. Perhaps even a challenge to it - that game has an inevitable grim conclusion at the end, where as Elden Ring lets the player choose wrong 5 out of 6 times, but there is still the 6th more hopeful choice once you learn to read developer intent. Also, Elden Ring has 15 Remembrance Bosses in base game, which is one short of the 16 Colossi in SotC.

"Argo DNA" - Argo was the ship sailed by Jason to find the Golden Fleece. Note the golden sheep in the Altus Plateau area of Elden Ring. It is also the name of a gigantic constellation that was split into three parts in the modern day - thus Radagon's lineage is found in the stars. Afterall "It is said that long ago, the Greater Will sent a golden star bearing a beast into the Lands Between, which would later become the Elden Ring".

"Ag Ra don" "Ag adorn" - "Ag" is chemical short form for Silver, so "Ra dressed in silver", I suppose. More alchemy stuff. One might recall that "Radagon" seems not to have been needed as an entity until going to Liurnia to confront a house of the moon (traditionally associated with silver). Also "Ag" derives from the French "Argent" and another major use of French that I've noted is in the name of "Seluvis" forming "se lu vis" meaning (probably with broken grammar) "To read one's own face".

"Argon AD" - "In the Year of our Lord, 18" - Argon was isolated in 1894 by William Ramsay ("Will I Am, Ram Say" - see Golden fleece above). It is element 18 on the periodic table and has a lavender/violet glow when placed in an electrical field, evocative of the visual used for gravity magic. Notable event in the year 18: "Winter – Germanicus Caesar arrives in Syria, as new commander-in-chief for the Roman East."

"ad argon" - "Ad" is a Latin modifier as in the case of "ad absurdum" or "to the point of absurdity" and etc (much like this post!). "Argon" is a Greek word meaning "lazy" or "inactive". Overall perhaps stretches to "to the point of stagnation"
