And remember kids, the next time someone tells you, "George R. R. Martin wouldn't make Jon Snow the typical fantasy hero because that's cliche".....
Oh yes he would!
One viewer wants to know what character would you play (on the show)? GRRM: If I could magically clap my hands and become a different person, it would be cool to play Jon Snow who's much more of the classic hero. Everybody wants to be the classic hero! ABC Interview, 2014
GRRM: And the character I’d want to be? Well who wouldn’t want to be Jon Snow — the brooding, Byronic, romantic hero whom all the girls love. Meduza Interview, 2017
In fact he already has ☺️
#asoiaf#jon snow#yes grrm has criticized neo-tolkein fantasy - a lot!#but like....dpmo#I need so many people in this godforsaken fandom to familiarize themselves with grrm's engagement with the genre#he isn't trying to say “chosen one boy protagonist bad” where tf did people get that???#he's directly trying to challenge the more unsatisfactory elements of lesser copies of tolkien's legendarium#the ones that lift lotr wholesale without actually understanding what makes tolkien's writing snap#at the same time he has admitted himself that he has borrowed from lotr albeit with his own twists#but people in this fandom need to know that ye old man LOVES sword-and-sorcery fantasy#he LOVES a good epic#he LOVES pulp fantasy and sci fi#and those inspirations are directly reflected in asoiaf#the way he's named arthuriana/lotr/MST and many pulp stories with brooding dark heroes as key inspirations#almost all of which have mcs who fall into the typical fantasy hero role#and they inspire elements that are reflected back onto jon more than anyone else in asoiaf#like seoman snowlock = jon (+bran)#frodo - who btw is the mc in lotr not aragorn!! = jon (and bran)#FUCKING KING ARTHUR IS JON SO MUCH SO THAT RLJ IS LITERALLY A 1:1 COPY OF ARTHUR'S BIRTH STORY LIKE??!!!!#anyone who's even a little bit familiar with le morte d'arthur will be like oh yeah jon is literally king arthur like 😭😭#same with anyone who's ready the once and future king - which grrm has directly identified as his fav take on arthurian lit#ntm that jon is based on some of the most prolific characters in arthuriana - percival/galahad/lancelot etc#did you know that there's an iconic sci-fi series whose main character is called Eric JOHN STARK?#well grrm has directly quoted that series and the mc as a foundational book in his life#funny that huh? 🙂#do people even know what tf they're talking about when they say stuff like this???? ajdhhjshsbvshja#grrm engages very heavily with traditional fantasy tropes but he of course provides his own spin on them#never has he said that he's trying to avoid stories with hidden princes or chosen ones as boy protagonists#like someone find me a direct quote of him saying that - but I bet you can't smh

Party members and traveling companions!
going back to the inn for some grub
#mii#miitopia#miitopia fanart#miitopia spoilers#miitopia promo miis#gifs#my gifs#my art#wanted to make something small and simple while I'm busy#I also debated whether to add the prince or not and decided that well... he technically does travel with your party and help you fight...#moving on I'm also sad that there's no (confirmed) default Mii for the elf job so I just went with Freddie#mainly because I really like the theory that Freddie is the default elf since she appeared in one of the old 3DS trailers as an npc#and almost all of the 3DS promo Miis reappear in the Switch version albeit with minor changes#I wonder what happened to the princess though... everyone else from the jobs came back but not her

Them ✨ that is all
#aloy could you yearn any less#i think this is the first time i went for glacier pics (proper) in the remaster?#the glitch still works#but aloy accelerates to the speed of light whenever you try to position her there#i don't remember it being that way#also eyes don't seem to open automatically anymore? at least in some cases#used to be every time in the old photomode#which is a neat improvement! albeit unexpected#anyway. yes. i am so very unwell about them#aloy x ikrie#aloy#ikrie#horizon zero dawn#hzd remaster#hzd photomode#my dear beloved glacier. the one true reason why my main save doesn't make any progress

2021 re2 and re4 doodles i unearthed, 2020-2021 were the years of art block for me - i drew a lot, but not too many of my drawings felt quite right. anyways... sherry finally got that puppy (big puppy...) and parrot she always wanted! im a big fan of taking a single obscure piece of dialogue/game mechanic/inventory item etc and then drawing it
#resident evil#resident evil 2#resident evil 4#leon s kennedy#ashley graham#sherry birkin#my art#this was the time when re8 came out and it changed me it was so good#i rmb watching a let's play of re3 remake when it came out but re didn't click for me . until 8#albeit i have a soft spot for any of the games with leon. bc who doesn't#i think ive checked out all of the games besides 7 and the spinoffs. i wanted to watch 7 gameplay before i sleep as a bedtime story ^_^#(for reference re7 is arguably the scariest one)#ill continue looking in my folders for old art i dont mind sharing. probably gonna just keep these low effort/old doodles on tumblr only#i really liked doing lineless style and i like this era of my art#but i think for me. lineless suits me better to get out quick ideas on paper. and less suited for full illustrations#i think when i tried doing lineless everything back then it didnt work. and i now know when to juggle my different styles#depending on the needs of the drawing im working on. good thoughts moving forward!#also hm. this particular lineless approach with this particular brush doesn't really resonate with people it seems

After seeing a production of the musical that has Van Helsing played by a woman, I am now mildly obsessed with Victorian Female Doctor Anneke/Aletta Van Helsing.
#honestly it wouldn't require that much tweaking given that the first female dutch doctor got her degree in 1879#it'd be an interesting adaptation given that one of Van Helsing's principle flaws is good old fashioned Victorian chauvinism#but I can see female Van Helsing doing the same thing as well#albeit with different reasoning#while also deeply respecting Mina as another intelligent woman#Mina at first being somewhat skeptical of this New Woman come to life only to warm up to her#seeing a New Woman who isn't just in the pages of a newspaper#being at once intrigued and surprised

A frosty start to December! Flynn's really been enjoying wearing his little coat these past couple of days. He's a happy old man... much more enthusiastic about being outside now he's warm!
Yummy frost!!

You got enough leaves there, Flynn?


#Flynn's not actually THAT old but in some ways he has been practising to achieve “grumpy old man” status his entire life#he IS technically a senior dog & now he's got his own jacket I think he counts as an “old man”... albeit one with a spring in his step ;-)#he already wags his tail when I pick the coat up at home - which for a dog who can still be wary of handling is pretty impressive!#he LIKES being warm#flynn#border collie#dog#frost#winter#england#light

But also with me looking at all these Pokémon Let’s Go designs, can I just say the game’s designs are absolute bangers? They all look so good, and I feel like they just enhance the original designs
This applies to all the designs by the way, I just happen to have all the Gym Leader designs to demonstrate my point
I know people don’t gel well with Let’s Go because of the different gameplay style, as well as being another Kanto remake, but the designs are so good
I really want a Johto remake now with this art style, I’d love to see the characters get these kinds of redesigns
Not to mention Johto’s at this point the region with the oldest art/designs (I mean that technically applies to Sinnoh as well, since the remakes didn’t update the designs or give the characters new designs, but regardless), I’d say they should get an update too
#like when I think about it I get why a second Kanto remake was made#the first one was on the GBA and in Gen 3#we had already gotten Gen 3 remakes and even by that point the GBA was kind of old#or at the very least far less accessible than the DS#and we already have Gen 4 remakes (albeit not good ones)#so why not have a second Johto?#the characters deserve new art and designs#pokemon#pokemon let's go#kanto gym leaders#gym leaders#character design#art style#johto#random stuff

The Nesting (Massacre Mansion, 1981)
"It may come as a surprise to you that a physicist could even contemplate the existence of paranormal phenomena."
"But you admit to the possibility."
"I admit the possibility of the unknown. I admit that science is only beginning to understand its own discoveries. But I do not believe in evil spirits or painted phantoms in windows."
#the nesting#massacre mansion#1981#horror imagery#video nasty#american cinema#horror film#armand weston#daria price#robin groves#christopher loomis#michael david lally#john carradine#bill rowley#gloria grahame#david tabor#patrick farrelly#bobo lewis#june berry#ann varley#cecile liebman#ron levine#kind of weird that genuine old Hollywood legend Gloria G made two video nasties; that both were released (in some territories) as Massacre#Mansion is pure bizarre. of the two this is the better: it looks like an actual quality production‚ certainly one of the most polished#films to grace the dpp list. it's a strangely handsome film and its old fashioned spookery puts you in mind of contemporaneous big budget#horror efforts like John Irvin's Ghost Story (albeit with rather more sex and gore). there's an emphasis on haunting weirdness and#psychological drama over the real graphic stuff which again lends this a sheen of.. professionalism? idk how else to put it‚ compared to#all the indie schlock it was rubbing shoulders with on the list‚ this feels like major studio popcorn fare (of course it isn't quite that)#disappointingly most of the really interesting strands get dropped by the final act which plays out much like any other slasher of the time#but the cast (largely unknowns) are all very game and old hands Carradine and Grahame are of course good value

I know Nico Robin isn’t a real person but if she was I’d hope she would know that I would burn the world for her
#one piece#ace watches one piece#nico robin#op robin#if I lived the the world of one piece and I saw a giant bounty for a child I’d start burning flags#if the bounty was for murder I’d be like ‘oh that’s fucked’#because that happens albeit rarely so I’d believe it if her bounty was for that#but for trying to overthrow the world? destroying 10 ships? an 8 year old? something is fishy and the smell is coming from the government#not the girl#I’d see that bounty and try to start a revolution#or join one

who are they tell me everything
Okay so uh, warnings in order of appearance for mentions of suicide, kidnapping, and murder. I’ll try to keep the descriptions simple to avoid too many spoilers & getting too gritty & stuff, and obligatory “these characters are problematic and while I love them because they’re my babies, being a sexist jerk & kidnapping & murder is bad” disclaimer in case this breaches containment. Anyway, the repressed characters in question…
I mentioned a sleazy businessman in a previous post. That’s Richard! He has this stupid idea that being a callous misogynist asshole is the best way to get respect as a guy and it’s just…not. He knows that deep down but he got in too deep and doesn’t know how to stop. He used to be an investor but when his stocks plummeted in value and he owed some really shady people a lot of money, he opted to take his own life rather than get taken out by a hitman. He got the chance to come back to his body a few decades later and took it. He’ll tell you he came back because he can’t get laid or drunk without a body. While kinda true, that’s not the only reason he came back. He wants to be a good person again and maybe make up for the mistakes he made, but he’s terrified of giving up the façade of a confident jerk. It’s like his social armor. So he just keeps procrastinating on his own development.
Viv (short for Vivienne) is a grouchy shut-in who doesn’t know how to connect with people in a fulfilling way (for reference one of her favorite pastimes is starting fights on the internet), and eventually falls madly in love with and kidnaps a guy at the bar she used to frequent. He’s kept in her basement. She feels better having someone around even if he hates her guts, but she knows it’s not really meaningful, and she also knows she majorly messed up and can’t undo what she did without facing the consequences. She also has a lot of stuff to unpack regarding not knowing how to make and keep friends, since she usually just blames everyone else for everything that goes wrong.
Maxwell murders people out of a sense of necessity, like it’s an itch he has to scratch, and while he enjoys himself in the moment, he’s otherwise extremely nervous about it. Why does he feel this way? Can he make himself stop? Would he even want to if he could? How long until he gets caught? Like Viv he’s very conflicted about the crimes he continues to commit and is scared of the consequences, and like Richard he hides behind a façade, though Maxwell’s is deadpan and aloof rather than charming and crude, acting like he doesn’t care.
None of them are meant to be all that deep thematically, I suppose they could be read as exaggerations of people that get addicted to being assholes & maybe eventually realize how exhausting it is, but really they’re just some of my nasty little guys that I gave existential crises to
#my ocs#I think only one of my characters doesn’t have an existential crisis#she’s a naiad and she literally just swims around and flirts with this philosopher all day#everyone else is subject to the horrors because it’s fun#of these three Richard works on himself the quickest#he gets with his old flame again and is actually decent time this to him. staying loyal and genuinely expressing love for him#albeit in a very Richard way#okie that’s all I think#I swear I have nice characters too
