☭ - Golden Monkey vs Aurora? I dunno if we want to pretend the cerulean hunters know danmaku or how you'd like to do it, but this combination sounded interesting.

BGM: ♪The Disaster of Passion♪ (... I can't think of anything else right now, so I'm keeping this. I don't think a fight between these two would be serious, either. Aurora isn't serious...) Battle intro:

"A monkey, eh~? I'm still adamant that foxes are the smartest! How about I prove that to you~? Shouldn't take long, bweheheh~!"

Half HP:

"HEY!!! Watch where you're swinging that staff! It actually kinda hurts!"

Low HP:

"I thought I told you to watch it! If you don't stop, I'll have to resort to cheap tricks..."

Victory:

"Heh...~! That doesn't surprise me. I guess you owe me something now... do you have any food on you~?"

Defeat:

"Ow, ow ow! Okay, I yield! Maybe monkeys are stronger than foxes, at least! Maybe..."

Tie:

"This fight is like Libra: pretty balanced. We should probably quit while we're ahead... for now~"

Assist:

"HEY, OVENNUPPI!! I could use a little monkey business over here!"

Taunt:

"Hey, BANANA BRAIN! I'm over heeere~! Can you see me~? Did I shine a bit too brightly~?"

Reacting to Taunt:

"OI!!! I'll make sure to bite you real hard for that!!!"

Perfect Victory:

"Just as I thought, monkies aren't that clever~! You couldn't even get my superior tails dirty! Maybe I'll let this pass if you get me something to drink..."

every time queer discourse surges on this site everyone is so quick to jump to “it was actually the evil lesbians who divided us” because y’all heard the term “political lesbian” and never bothered to figure out what that meant

Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.

Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.

Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.

Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

Friendly reminder that your art makes someone happy, even if it’s just for yourself.

It is ok to make “messy” art, what matters is you got to have fun creating something and that in itself is wonderful!

Somedays the artblock wins. Somedays inspiration smashes you like a cadillac on a random dashboard recommend. @transformers-synergize your redesigns are so pretty ;^;
