Winx club rewrite/redesign art dump 6/?

Our badass queen Layla/Aishi this time

As a white girl i just gotta say- I hope my research was done right to protective hairstyles and she looks lighter in the pictures than the actual drawing...

Also i'm definetely considering giving digitsl art a try so i can use... basically any colour and not just limit myself to having to say "fine, this shade is close enough" which... tbh i also always am hesitant with colouring skin cause the pencil strokes always look so messy to me...? Which also always mad eme hesitant drawing poc which is absolutely something i'm working on..

So that's another thing i wanna rectify if I do end up enjoying and switching to Digital art- ... should i drop the colour reference pallette i already made and drop that for shits and giggles to better show which colours i had in mind for all the girls...? Prolly-

Manhwa Title: Into The Light Once Again

Falling in Love Like in Movies

Falling in Love Like in Movies    [trailer]

A screenwriter reunites with his high school friend and crush, who is still grieving from the loss of her husband. He wants to convince her to fall in love once again, just like in the movies.

Turned out to have more story "levels", and overall also be more interesting than expected.

There were still a few things that bugged me. For example, taken together the director-screenwriter conversations were just too clichéd. And at times the story/film felt just too self-conscious, which took you out of the movie.

I also think the movie should've ended when Bagus enters the office of the producer again. But it's still a very worthwhile watch.

I also want to point out that Bagus' friends are named Cheline and Dion.

I'm not concededing Worse; sticking with Differently Bad, with a lot of apples vs. oranges stuff going on wrt genre & context. Like, Worm is operating on a larger, more overt stage and has more dramatic Physically Fucked Up Shit happening (though not a lot more), but the Animorphs take it for me for psychological damage & moral ambiguity. Capes get to fight enemies directly -- often unambiguously evil ones who are actively inviting violent retaliation -- and then they get to go to therapy about it and have their choices discussed and contextualized by their community. The Animorphs cannot harm an enemy without also killing an innocent, and then afterward they have to pretend none of it is happening and go to math class while their choices fester in their heads. The Fucked Up is going in different directions.

For Alec specifically, I found it infuriating that Taylor refused to extend him (and Imp, tbh) even an iota of the empathy she throws at literally everybody else (including the goddamn Nine and the Endbringers!). Like, girl, maybe consider that the guy who had his emotions burned out of him as a child and still at the age of 13 found the moral fiber to escape an incredibly powerful abuser and take active steps to no longer participate in abusing others himself despite having no role model for that is not actually the Worst Person You Know. Taylor can't even get up the gumption to have a straight conversation with her very supportive and thoughtful dad. She could learn a lot from Alec if she'd listen to what he actually says instead of automatically being like "he's the physical manifestation of all human moral shortcomings, especially my own" every time he opens his mouth.

I have finished Worm & you are Right about Alec Vasil; congratulations

^ this is always happening to me

So is Worm good from what you have read

"Yes" doesn't begin to cover it but yes. Worm is a brain-rewiring mobius strip disguised as a bible disguised as a superhero web serial that either cured your cancer or shot your dog or both depending on who you ask, and it has many extremely dedicated, brilliant scholar priest surgeons publicly dissecting it on this platform on the regular to the point I don't think I have much to add to the conversations surrounding it, even if I do have some The Thoughts about it. I had never even really seriously thought about superhero prose before and Worm isn't a thing I go back and reread frequently but it did a complete and total 180 on the way I think about superheroes and even fiction, and I've never stopped thinking about it since I've read it.

It is a monumentally impressive story with completely absolutely incredible characters that I cannot stop thinking about. No matter where it was going, even past stretches that were less interesting or more of a slog to read or worse, I could not put the story of Taylor Hebert down for one minute. Tattletale fascinated me every step of the way, I had to keep up with her. Rachel Lindt was a character I feel like I'd been waiting my whole life for. What was I gonna do, not see them through? I feel like Worm easily loses you if you don't particularly connect with the characters enough to justify to yourself the amount of time you'll spend with them, but man, I could not unglue my eyeballs from these people enough (I love all the core Undersiders, to be clear, I'd say it's Rachel > Taylor > Tattletale > Aisha and Alec and Brian, there are very small gaps between these, I just don't go berserk for the last three like I do for the first three, I'm taking Bitch and Skitter to the grave I'm dead serious)

Worm irreparably destroys your ability to engage with superhero fiction the same way ever again, as evidenced by the fact that it destroyed the author's own ability to engage with his own superhero fiction ever again. And everybody who read it has one or several gripes with it with some major dealbreakers in the mix. Tumblr's kinda the only place online where you can really talk about them at length without the spectre of John Wildbow hanging over the discussion, which enables discussion to the point where yes, maybe it does look like to outsiders that nobody can agree on whether Worm is good or what is it even about or whether it even has worms in it (it has at least one, although it's a very big one).

And it is good, it has the Undersiders in it and the Undersiders are one of the greatest groups of characters ever put together, but everyone has at least one major point of contention with Worm whether it's the timeskip or the length or the racism or the gross fatphobia or aspects surrounding the Dallon-Pelham Torment Nexus and etc. I'd say it has maybe the most racist vision of Latin America I've ever seen in a superhero text a hair short of pro-colonial tracts in Golden Age comics and that is a tall fucking order by any metric (part of why I started WEON4 as a project was motivated by spite, to try and make my own stories about non-American superheroes even if just as practice). It is Complicated, and that winds up making it so fascinating to talk about.

Worm has self-sustaining ecological systems of posts up here, far away from the Spacebattles and Reddit battlegrounds where it has different ones and that's not getting into Weaverdice or the sequel or Wildbow's larger body of work, which I haven't gotten to and probably will not any time soon because Worm was enough of a commitment as is. Do I recommend Worm to everyone? It is certainly not to everyone's tastes and I personally find it difficult to describe it simply enough to make it sound appealing or not like a pyramid scheme. But yes I do think it's good, in fact great, in fact, amazing, except when it isn't, and except it Plainly Sucks, but then something like Taylor vs Mannequin or Kevin Norton's interlude or "You needed worthy opponents" happens and it fucks harder than anything has ever fucked before and you don't walk away from it the same, so yes I guess "good" will have to do now.

It's certainly a lot but I definitely found it worth my time to read and then read the texts written about it here. You'll have to take my endorsement of Worm as proof of it's quality and proof of how deranged it makes it's readerbase, they're not mutually exclusive. If you can make it, Worm and the wormosphere has layers and layers to wade through and talk about and enjoy, despite how we're all so very small in the end *gunshot*.
