#and i think it's a must-watch if you're into animation and art because it is SO stunning and stylistically unique and just fantastic really

[thescarletnargacuga]

Caine and Pomni having a movie night, with them accidentally choosing a horror movie to watch. Pomni doesn’t really mind and isn’t affected, but for DAYS Caine is bothered and doesn’t want to be alone without Pomni ever. Causing him to constantly sleep in her room, accompany her on adventures, etc. Pomni then has to teach him the beautiful art of the movie not being real, but because he is a visual learner she also has to show him that it’s not real by pointing out how each affect is done.

PRACTICAL EFFECTS

A HALLOWEEN SHOWTIME ONESHOT

WARNING: movie blood and gore

~~~

Caine could barely see through his clenched teeth as he sat shaking next to Pomni. He and Pomni were relaxing with a spooky movie marathon. Just them, a bowl of popcorn, and eight hours of back to back seasonal features. However, one of the TV movies was a bit more gory than Caine could handle.

Pomni was having a great time, eating handfuls of popcorn as the killer on screen violently swung a massive chainsaw. She chuckled at the campy acting and blatantly fake special effects, not noticing Caine was ready to bolt.

When the killer dug his chainsaw into the gut of the underdressed hot girl character, Caine screamed. Pomni jumped for the first time all night, spilling the popcorn. Pomni paused the movie. "Caine?? What the heck!?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN- WE JUST WATCHED SOMEONE DIE, POMNI!!" Caine plucked his eyes from his mouth and rubbed them against his coat. "MY EYES WILL NEVER BE CLEAN AGAIN!!"

Pomni blinked, confused. "Caine... It's a movie. I'm not crazy about horror, but these movies are so bad they're actually pretty funny."

"FUNNY? FUNNY????? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?" Caine slammed his eyes back in his mouth so hard, he nearly choked. "I never realized I was dating a psychopath!"

"Woah, woah, woah, Caine, breathe. Calm down a little." She took a few deep breaths, encouraging him to breathe with her. "It's a movie. Fake. Everything that's happening on screen, isn't actually happening."

"...come again?" Caine arched his top jaw, looking from Pomni to the screen. "I know movies have actors and such, but you're telling me that that man is not actually digging a chainsaw into that woman's stomach? But- but- it's so real! I can't even look at it without getting squeamish!"

"Have you ever heard of movie magic? Practical and special visual effects? All of that blood on screen is nothing more than red dye and corn syrup. I mean, some hardcore movies use animal blood, but it's mostly colored corn syrup. That torso getting cut up? Fake. A prop. That chainsaw? Doesn't actually have blades on it except in close-ups."

Caine still couldn't bring himself to look fully at the screen. "I don't like it..."

Pomni put a comforting hand on Caine's shoulder. "Hey, it's okay. We can skip this one if it's too bloody. I prefer atmospheric and psychological scares, myself."

Caine snapped, vanishing the spilled popcorn and refilling the bowl. "Thanks, Pomni."

"Of course, Caine. This is supposed to be fun." Pomni scoots closer, until their thighs touch. "Just imagine all those actors covered in sticky syrup. Must have taken them ages to wash it out."

"Heh, yeah..."

"Caine, out of curiosity, what did you think was happening?"

"Oh...uh, seems silly now but... I thought actors were really going through everything on screen. Because they're mass-produced like boy bands."

"....say what?"

"What?"

"Nevermind. We'll talk later." Pomni changed to a different movie and settled her head on Caine's shoulder.

MUTANT MAYHEM THOUGHTS IT WAS SUPER AWESOME LET'S FUCKING GOO

BANGER BANGER BANGER FILM. definitely the thing i liked most was the visuals - the style is SO UNIQUE (with the deliberately misshapen designs and grungy colours with harsh neon contrast and the FUCKING !! SKETCH/SCRATCH LINES DUUDE), and the animation was just so full of personality and an absolute joy to watch.

AND SHOUT OUT TO THE EFFECTS AND LIGHTING ANIMATION ESPECIALLY HOLY SHIT ??? every time they had the scratched on light rays or scribbled smoke and dust i started like DROOLING dude.

the cinematography was also just absolutely amazing - incredible use of the medium to do these fantastic running shots with complex angles. favourite sequence was definitely the side shots of the boys fighting and interrogating people (SO smooth and the fighting choreography was incredible and showcased their styles and personalities so well, and the intercut sense of MOTION. dude. banger.)

AND !! THE FUCKING SOUND DESIGN!! especially the score dude MY GOD i loved the use of pitchy and unconventional instruments it fit the movie to a tee.

LOVED THE CHARACTERS! particularly the boys and the other mutants (mondo wingnut and leatherhead especially). all the interactions were super sweet and well-written and i just LOVED the VA performances - played off each other immaculately. i love how cringe and unapologetically TEEN the turtles are. and adored splinter too.

i think i'm glad they focused more on developing their relationship as a family than individual character arcs, because it helped reduce any bias or favouritism for specific turtles (COUGH leo and raph ahem), and also worked best with the super fast pacing, i think. didn't feel too cramped in all the busyness.

that said, i did struggle with the comedy a bit? particularly the reference humour. NOT THAT IT WAS ALL BAD! quite a few got a laugh out of me, but there were so many packed into such a small amount of time that it ended up getting a bit distracting. felt a bit like "let's wave all our properties in your face" and kind of out of place at times (i would've preferred for them to be less frequent, or for the references to be knock-offs)

i don't think the plot was the MOST compelling, either, but really that's fine, because it wasn't trying to be. the focus was on the art and action and dynamics and it is completely fine for it to focus more on that than thematic and emotional beats.

oh also i can't decide whether i love or hate the milking joke. funny at times but the more they retreaded it the more uncomfortable it felt lmao.

overall i think it is the most technically impressive tmnt movie, that i've seen at least, and from a cinematography point of view? ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING. but it isn't necessarily the most emotionally compelling tmnt movie, and you know what? that's okay! because is wasn't trying to be, and it absolutely excels at what it aims itself towards.

𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐤:

summary: what the one and only arthurtv would be like as your boyfriend

authors note: tysm for the request anon, i loved writing these! this man is literally a walking green flag like how is he even real. sorry for the slow uploads btw i've been super busy lately

please consider checking out my masterlist

-> the gentleman above all gentlemen istg

-> he's such a caring boyfriend. whenever you are sick or had a bad day, he seems to know exactly what you need and won't leave you alone until you feel better

-> literally gives the best hugs ever. i can't rlly explain it but I feel like his body just runs warm so he's really cozy and you always feel so secure when he's got his arms around you, cradling you into his chest

-> arthur makes getting out of bed in the morning so much more difficult simply because his cuddles are so comfy that you never want to leave

-> not super into pda, the most he will do in public is quick pecks but in private he is SUPER clingy, to the point where he's basically an extra limb

-> whether he's holding your hand/got an arm slung around your waist or has his head laid in your lap while watching tv, he's not happy unless he's touching you in some way

-> we all know arthur is a massive nerd, and you probably are too, so you often go on dates to museums or art galleries

-> also, zoo/aquarium dates are a must in your relationship. he loves to infodump random animal facts and you love to stare at him adoringly while he infodumps random animal facts

-> arthur is always so attentive to you, and notices every difference in your appearance and can tell when your mood changes even if you are trying to hide it from him

-> he also remembers all the little details about you, even the minor stuff you don't remember telling him, and you often joke that he knows you better than you do

-> shows his love for you through small acts of service like always having your favourite food stocked in his kitchen and learning your skincare routine so he can do it for you when you are too tired

-> would also give you his shoes without hesitation if your feet started hurting on a night out. he doesn't care how uncomfortable it is for him or that he looks like an idiot. he just wants you to feel as comfortable as possible

-> arthur absolutely adores the soft domestic moments together. very much a quality time person, and he loves that you can make even mundane chores seem more interesting

-> george and arthur hill like to tease him about being a simp, but they genuinely think its so sweet how happy being around you makes him

-> george once told you, when you were over at the boys' house and your boyfriend was in the bathroom, that in all the time they've known each other, he has never seen arthur smile as much as he did when he was with you

-> similar to george, he has a very busy work schedule so he tries to treasure the time you do have together. unfortunately, he does sometimes miss your dates due to filming overrunning but he always feels terrible and tries to make it up to you the best he can

-> your relationship is so sweet and supportive. you're the kind of couple that you can tell, just by looking at them, how inlove they are with each other

[zweiginator]

ARARARARARAARA i love the way you write so much, big fan fr

maybe college!artrick even send you like a voice message or something of them jerking off together and talking about you...how much they want you, how beautiful you are, what they want to do to you, how much they want to share you... thinking many thoughts about these two 😵‍💫

-🐞

and you're kind of a goody-two-shoes!!! you've only ever been with your high school sweetheart. you only really have passionless missionary sex and you don't know any different. you don't know how much it can be fueled by passion and tension. how you should have butterflies in your stomach and you should feel the need to hold back the sounds that threaten to come out of you like a fucking animal--but you've never had to hold back.

so you're having second thoughts about your relationship. because you've never felt those butterflies. but when you're in class giving a presentation you're full of them--not because you're in front of a sea of people, no, because art and patrick are in the front row. they're leaning forward and chewing on peppermint gum and looking you up and down unabashedly. you'd think those butterflies were just anxiety if not for the slippery wetness between your legs.

it makes you resent your boyfriend a little. because he doesn't look at you like that. like he wants to devour you until his mouth is dripping with you.

and you don't want someone who is just going through the motions. you contemplate ending things with him and in a moment of weakness you gave art and patrick your number after class, as they complimented your presentation. asked if you would be willing to help them out with their projects. they'd been so busy with tennis.

you nod. of course you'd help them. you feel awful now, tilting your phone away from your boyfriend as patrick sends you a message. a video.

you excuse yourself and watch it on low volume. your breath hitches and you squeeze your legs together and you don't know what you're looking at until your eyes seem to finally focus and patrick and art's cocks are on full display. you can't see their faces but you can tell who is who by the skin tones, the scattering of hair on patrick's chest and abdomen, compared to art's smooth, almost hairless skin.

and you can see that they aren't touching themselves, no, they are touching each other in long strokes and talking about you. using vulgar words that sound syrupy and sweet coming out of their mouths. talking about your cunt, how soft it must be, how tight. how you'd beg for them because they know you've never been fucked like that before. they chuckle, because they know they're right.

and the video is finished as they do, warm cum coating their abs that flex and pulse and you save the video but delete the conversation.

you touch yourself that night and watch it. you really never do this, but you feel so horny for the first time that you have to. and you realize, after the mere sounds of their voices, as you pretend they're cooing in your ears, is enough to make you cum harder than you ever have before. they're right. of course they are.

[evilminji]

The House of Mysteries is Arguably Sentient Right?

(O.O ) I sit here... contemplating the... WEIRD Ghosts Danny might come across. The true Haunted Houses. Planets. Theaters. Boxes bigger on the inside. Living ships and A.I.s, Etc.

All things can die. If the house of mysteries is someday utterly destroyed? Is that not death? If the Planet and Green Lantern Mogo is broken to pieces like non-sentient Krypton was, has he not perished?

Do they not stand equal chance of become Ghosts?

Are.... Are Haunts even created? Or are they a symbiotic ghost relationship? The dual fulfilling of Obsession. A house, properly haunted and taking care of someone. And a Ghost, watching TV or organizing stamps or living out the fantasy of their Perfect Life.

All behind purple doors.

Houses are demolished all the time. Or lost to war or disaster. An old enough house? Enough people living and dying in it? Could arguably start to accumulate ectoplasm. Become, not sentient, but a touch more. And in dying? Like any animal, leave behind that Idea of who they were. That ALMOST and Instinct.

Certain places though? That are alive? That have seen far too much death? They seem to carry over. Castles and long burned libraries, coliseums, and frozen hills. The places life was lost, over and over or all at once.

Floating islands from long dead planets.

I bet we could find Kryptonian flora on some of them. If we looked in the right area. It must be a strange mix. Down right bizarre. Facing just about anything and wondering if it's sentient.

With Ectoplasm? It could be.

But at the same time? Imagine the RELIEF? Of, after the stress and fear of dying, waking up CHANGED, somewhere new and alone... searching desperately for something, anything, to ground your self? The relief you'd feel... when a door seems to drift right into out of nowhere. Just? Gentle bonk.

And yeah, it's purple. Looks like every generic door that's ever been. But? It has this VIBE. Like you're staring at the door to your first shit apartment, but it's YOURS and YOU paid for it and you're... you're home now. You open it.

And it's like some crammed every inspo board you ever had and all the parts of every room you ever loved, together. Familiar, new, and best of all? NOT a vast swirling green void. You drift inside.

If you're like so many ghosts? Probably never leave. Why would you? It's spooky and loud and crazy out there. Everyone's nuts. In HERE it's nice. No fights, art and food the way you like it, time feels muted and far away...

You only really snap OUT of your happy Vibe Sesh with your House Haunt when someone intrudes.

There us probably a whole flip side of the Zone that we never really see. Haunt politics. Competition for the really GOOD Ghosts. Haunts that don't want a ghost because they are waiting for somebody who may or may not come.

Other fuckin MOGO'S. Seriously. Sentient planet. That may be rare, may even be the sole example IN THEIR UNIVERSE, but the Zone is Multiversal. Literally Infinite.

Which means there ARE at least a handful or more of SENTIENT PLANET GHOSTS. How do you?? Cope? "Oh this is my buddy, the PLANET EARTH." But possibly BIGGER.

Fuck that's a lot of Ectoplasm. Thank Zone their Obsession's are usually "Be Prosperous Planet" and "orbit and protect this Star, which is sentient and my frient".

Oh? They forgot to mention the SENTIENT FUCKING STAR? As in giant ball of fire and death? Whoops! :T

Don't worry! THEIR Obsession is their planets! It's a full circle thing. Just leave that little system alone and they won't annihilate you and everything you've ever loved! Easy.

Lookin a little pale there, your Majesty. You need to lay down?

(And to think, all this... because Pariah's Castle got into a literal land war with other castles over who gets the New King.)

(Accusations of being a Greedy Bitch were thrown. Suggestions to Get Good and stop being A Loser Crybaby were offered. Somehow, there were cannons? Danny is still unclear but has been told under NO circumstances is he to step foot in ANY ghost building until mediators can be brought in. It could be seen as declaring a preference.)

[whywoulditho]

"the fandom ruined mha" is one of those vastly popular opinions that i've never quite understood. because they honestly...weren't as bad as people made it seem??? i swear people with zero fandom experience will see a thirteen year old in cheap cosplay having fun and say shit like "ew i hate this fandom you're ruining it" like maybe leave the goddamn kid alone??

mha has a very large fan community, and what makes it a little different than most other anime fandoms is that mha was specifically targeted for a global audience. they did their best to avoid any quirks and cliche tropes of anime that would go over non-japanese' heads. the art style is pretty cartoonish and it's got lots of references to western comics. there's a whole ass movie set in the US. what i'm trying to say is that a large, international fandom was always what they were going for, and it was well received. it was one of those shows that you'd kind of had to watch if you wanted to be in anime spaces back in like 2016-2018. mind you this is when even aot wasn't that popular. and when something is so popular, there's gonna be lot of weird people in the fandom. BECAUSE most of them will be people who have never been in fandom spaces before. the "cringy mha fans" that were the butt of every joke in anime discord were more of than not minors having just been introduced to anime or fandom culture as a whole. there were lots of weird stuff, i admit. but was it ever really that serious? like why couldn't yall just leave those people alone??

another thing people just couldn't stop talking about was how there were way too many ships in the fandom but 1) why is that a bad thing? and 2) of course there were gonna be a lot of ships in a show that introduced TWO WHOLE CLASSROOMS OF TEENAGERS AS THE MAIN CAST who interacted all the time. not to mention all the students from other hero schools, upperclassmen, pro heroes & teachers. there are like a million characters in this show and the more characters the more potential ships -it's fucking common sense. i think what really happened there was that people outside of the fandom looked at the fanmade content and thought the fandom must have been obsessed with ships. when in reality i think the fans were really chill about it. most of them were multishippers, they didn’t mind the other pairings. i understand that for an outsider's eye all the ships and disclose must've looked chaotic but in fandom spaces people know how to filter the content they engage with so there really arent any serious "ship wars" going on anywhere except for maybe instagram comments.

i am not saying all the ships were unproblematic, there were some pretty weird ships going on too, but honestly i thought half of them were jokes? or at least crackships? and if you compared the number of fics those kind of pairings have on ao3 to the more family friendly ones you'd see that there really weren't an actual fanbase for any of those weird ass pairings.

i think the core of mha fandom has never been as chaotic as others thought it was. mha fans were interested in the story, the fights & the character development while casually enjoying ships as well. it wasn't that serious until yall started bullying a bunch of kids online. with the rise of tiktok and the boredom the pandemic caused there were a huge amount of amateur content. i'm not saying i've never seen a mha fan being genuinely cringe. i just think the mature response to those posts would have been leaving the poor kids alone.

yesterday i've seen a youtube video about how awful mha fans are and this guy just showed a clip of a bunch of cosplayers outside of what was probably an anime convention dancing to gangnam style and he was going on and on about how annoying they are. and it made me so angry because where the fuck did these anime fan bourgeoisie snobs come from telling people they can't have fun at FUCKING ANIME CONVENTIONS??? i dont know if you've ever been to one but an anime con is basically the only place that's supposed to be safe to do cringe shit like that. everyone goes to those things in cosplay, some better than others. but last i checked everyone was pretty nice to each other, complimenting each other's costumes, asking to take photos. the cosplays don't have to be good, they don't even have to be complete. a convention is the one place you can show up in a wig you bought off ebay and a costume you finished making the night before. i dont know what yall are on but people go to those events to have fun. not to be filmed and made fun of. and from my personal experience having been in fandom spaces since middle school, someone who dances to gangnam style in a cheap todoroki cosplay is an infinitely nicer person than the stuck-up loser who makes a video complaining about it

.GIFfany x Game Dev!GN!Reader

My final love letter for the gravity falls fandom <3 Thank you everyone for the happiness you gave me!! Your unanswered asks are still safe with me, dw! Randomly, someday, I'll go back to them (they're all lovely ideas,, actually hurts to leave)

for now, i'll be seeing you in other fandoms (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

I won't be giving warnings here but it's .GIFfany, an actual yandere from GF. Happy Halloween folks !!

💌 ; this a lil cringe guys 😭😭

"Aren't you a game developer?! Then get rid of this! You have to destroy it!"

You sigh for the umpteenth time, rubbing the area between your eyebrows. This man randomly came into your house, claiming that the game disc he's holding is alive. How are you supposed to react in this situation?

"Like I said, I can't do anything to a disc—"

The guy scoffs, abruptly shoving the disc into your chest. "I don't care. You clearly don't believe me. Just get this away from me, and I'll leave!"

It's not like he's giving you much of a choice. Your hold on the disc tightens as you watch him finally run away from your house. What an asshole. With furrowed eyebrows, you slam your door shut.

A huff escapes your chest. You take a proper look at the game... An anime girl dating simulator? Seriously? He harrassed you over this?

"... anthyding can hadplen."

Okay... the common typo in translations.

You were being genuine when you said you can't do anything to a disc. The source code is long gone for this one, you assume. You don't think the company that made this game even exists anymore.

If that bastard really wants to destroy this game, he should’ve burned it or something. You guess you’ll give him a break; he did go through the trouble of finding a game developer like you.

"Oh, hi there! My name is .GIFfany. I'm a schoolgirl at School University."

Her voice snaps you back to reality.

... And the reality? You're playing a dating sim in a dark room. Nice.

You look at her eyes, an unsettling knot forming in the pit of your stomach. Simply, you ignore it.

"At least the art is pretty," you mutter, then pause. Hey, is it just you, or did her eyes get brighter? Whatever. Must be the animation.

Oh, well. Time to find out what's so dangerous about this game. You shake your head, feeling ridiculous, and move your mouse to continue playing.

...

Nothing happened.

It's just your basic dating simulator with cliché storylines. You've been playing for hours, even finishing one romantic route, yet nothing has happened. The clock reads 1:54 AM. So much for being such a dangerous game.

You exit the game, unplug the computer, and head straight to bed. Drowsiness has been bothering you throughout the whole gameplay, so now you're going to give in to it.

Eventually, gentle snores escapes your sleeping figure.

... Something in your dark room lights up.

The sprite merely stares at you as you sleep.

— ♡♡♡ —

Buzz.

Buzz.

Buzz.

You groan, your hand aimlessly searching for your vibrating phone in the dark. It takes you a moment, but when you finally have it in your hands, your eyes flutter from the sudden light.

Quickly, you shut off your alarm. Ugh.

Your phone turns black again, and you're left lying in the darkness... only for your backup alarm to ring again.

"Fine!" you force yourself to sit up, obnoxiously groggy.

After your usual routine, you turn on the kitchen light, unaware that it lit up a second before you even pressed the switch.

You reach for the leftovers in the fridge, heating them in an unplugged microwave.

The cold meal spins round and round.

A pop of noise springs up behind you. You turn, smiling, to find toasted bread from the unplugged toaster.

Checking the time, the clock reads 7:40 AM. You have a meeting in about fifty minutes.

— ♡♡♡ 01100100 01101111 01101110 01110100 00100000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01100111 01110010 01100001 01110110 01101001 01110100 01111001 00100000 01100110 01100001 01101100 01101100 01110011 ♡♡♡ —

"—Because of this, we'll be changing our schedule."

Humming, you prepare your virtual document for live notes. Keyboard clacks sound through the air, following just after your director's voice.

... A familiar, upbeat tune abruptly plays.

You glance down at your taskbar on the computer screen. The game application, Romance Academy, has somehow opened by itself.

A confused eyebrow raises. Maybe there's something you missed in the settings. Either way, you right-click the icon and close the game without a second thought.

Time ticks by.

"We currently have plans for a new mode, and testing with the coders will follow in—"

You gasp in surprise as the game music blares again, this time much, much louder. It vibrates against your ears at full volume, and one of your hands shoots up to cover an ear.

"The hell," you murmur, your brows furrowing as you hastily close the game.

"In line with this, we're also considering a Halloween event for us indie volunteers!—"

Shit!

It’s so loud! Romance Academy forces its way to the front of your screen, no longer hidden behind the other windows. Did that guy somehow give you a virus?? This is way too distracting!

You move your cursor the exit button, clicking it rapidly.

... There's no use. The app just won't close.

Suddenly, you can't hear your director's voice anymore. Or anyone, for that matter; your whole room cloaks in silence.

...

One by one, the apps close.

The dating simulator remains open, the last one standing.

A frown pulls your lips. Yeah, no.

You stand up, ready to unplug your computer, but horror washes over your face as you realize it’s already fucking unplugged.

Ha.

Hahahaha.

You make it a point to unplug everything you use to save on your bills, and for the environment.

“Hahahaha. Cute. You're so cute.”

You stare at the animation on the screen.

This is beyond your comprehension. That guy isn't insane, after all.

You have to leave.

“My dear Reader.”

Grabbing your bag, you scurry out from the room.

The house is bright. It's morning.

“I know you're reading my words."

You open the front door.

The cold air whips against your face.

“You read this for me, did you not?"

You walk away from your house.

Every step gradually becomes faster.

Who can you even call for a situation like this? Surely not the cops.

“And don't ever stop reading! If you do, you'll leave me."

“You're here because you love me. Why else? I love you too!"

Don't stop reading.

You'd be leaving me if you stop.

Let me constantly be on your mind, okay?

Read this as much as you can for the rest of your life.

Even if you get sick of it.

“Because I'd never get sick of you, darling!"

“Oh, my lovely reader, I hope every time you read Gravity Falls, you think of me. Me. Me. Me.”

I can feel the story ending. That won't do.

— ♡♡♡ —

"Aren't you a game developer? Then try this! I hear it's amazing!"

You smile for the umpteenth time today. This man randomly came into your house, claiming that the game disc he's holding is amazing. He's giving it away for free, too! Who are you to reject such an offer?

"Alright, if you insist—"

The guy laughs, excitedly giving you the disc. "Have fun, mate!"

Your hold on the disc tightens as you watch him skip away from your house. What a great guy. With a giddy grin, you close your front door.

A chuckle escapes your chest. You take a proper look at the game... An anime girl dating simulator? How adorable! 01100100 01101111 01101110 01110100 00100000 01100110 01101111 01110010 01100111 01100101 01110100 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 01110100 00100000 01101100 01100101 01100001 01110110 01100101 00100000 01101101 01100101 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 01110100 00100000 01100111 01101111 00100000 01100100 01101111 01101110 01110100

[salty-dracon]

POV: You're a tired college student sitting in the lecture hall before Reca's class in 2.6

(written entirely based on the 2.6 trailer)

(update: I have never written anything so inaccurate in my life I wanna curl up into a ball orz )

You're attending Penacony's Paperfold University College. It's the middle of the night (it's Golden Hour, Penacony, it's always the middle of the night, good luck waking up on time for your classes LMAO) with a professor your film major buddies have only described as "passionate" and one outwardly finds super weird. You looked him up on the universe's equivalent of RateMyProfessor and he's sitting at 3.5 out of 5 stars because no one can live up to his exacting standards and also he's apparently a little crazy? Like you've had sadistic professors who loved failing their students, but you'd think they would mention that in the reviews. So who knows what that means. Hopefully nothing bad.

Anyway this is just a one-time seminar for fun so you're thankful, but the art building sucks. You're sitting in the coldest, draftiest lecture hall you've ever seen. You can hear the radiator hissing. The desks are so scratched and cut-up they look like they might give you splinters. For how many years have these desks existed? How many generations of animators and film people have been taking notes on this thing? Is this what all film majors have to suffer through? Hell, is this what all art majors have to suffer through? Thank goodness you're... not that.

And there's a chalkboard. If there's one thing you don't need when you're this exhausted, it's the sound of chalk squeaking on a chalkboard.

And while you're watching the seconds tick by, in walks a trio of people your age. and you're looking at them and you're like, none of them have ever been to a college before. (Probably offworlders.)

Like there's this guy with black hair who's just super quiet (way too quiet, and way too serious) but when's the last time you saw a college student carrying around a fresh case bound notebook that doesn't look like it was bought at the mall? Those things get destroyed if you carry them around in your bookbag for too long- you figured that out your first week. He looks way too ready to take notes amidst the background noise. He's writing the planet name, system date, and "Seminar with the film director Mr. Reca" at the top of that expensive looking notebook's second page. And the ink isn't feathering or bleeding through the page. Your animation friend would probably be obsessed with that paper, she keeps going on about how important good paper is, but you can't afford the stuff. Maybe you should ask him the brand later.

And he's being talked at by a pair of chatterboxes. One of them is, once again, way too well-dressed to be a habitual college student. She did her clothes up in blue, pink, and white to match her hair and eyes. It's pretty cute, all things considered- you wish you still had the energy to dress up like that at 6am. Maybe you should ask her for fashion advice. The pitch of her voice rises above the din of the room. "Ooooooh, I can't wait! This is going to be so cool! A seminar by a real film director! It's a shame Mr. Yang couldn't attend. He'd love this kind of stuff!".

The second chatterbox is this snarky looking person you can't really get a read on. They didn't even bring a notebook. They outright state they've never been to a college before. And now they're going on and on, trying to compare this lecture hall to buildings on planets you've never really heard of. "A museum on the cold, frosty planet Jarilo-IV"- your mind wanders for a moment as you consider what that would be like. Still, something about them seems to signal that they're a singularity of experience. They've probably seen more in a system year than you have in your entire lifetime. That might be why they keep speaking in words you don't understand. What's a 'surprised Pikachu face'? Must be one of those jokes that only makes sense if you were there to witness it.

Yeah, this strange-looking friend group is probably from off world. And they're probably adventurers at that. They probably don't want to be bothered with the ramblings of a tired college student.

The door opens. You hear leather boots on a wood floor, and the room quiets with the weight of a man's presence. He's finally here.

You sure hope everything goes smoothly. Getting stuck in the Oak Family's dream ruined your weekend that one time, but that was a long time ago. Seriously, what's the worst that could happen? The professor traps the room in some kind of film reel dimension and a horde of monkeys attacks the campus? ... Nah, that would never happen.

[angellic-critique]

Honestly my biggest fear is to end up writing my characters the same way vivzie does, I feel like she doesn't even try on certain characters(female characters and literally any other that isn't her "uwu baby boi must be protected at all costs" characters like stolas, angel dust). Like imagine completely missing the point of your own character/srs

to everyone pre-release worries and anxieties just as much as I have-- Please take this time to read or explore different interests of books or authors of subjects and genres you like ! In the era of internet where the golden age of information is rusting into brainrot, the less time online anymore the better. I've been taking javascript/python tutorials for myself attempting to make a dating simulator for literal years at this point and its bounced around to the point of where I branched off to develop my own murder mystery 2-d sidescroller !

I wish for this to be a farewell letter to the crushed hopes and dreams I had for the original hazbin pilot and crew has moved on to other things whereas viv attempted to spitefully keep a story she clearly doesn't have any passion over- it is very evident over her lack of care for her own characters purely for the monetary gains of attempting and sadly wriggling her way into industry the way she did is so abhorrent to the world of genuine art and animation I grew up with.

Has Vivzie ever read a Felix the Cat comic strip or Dilbert even Hägar The Horrible? Does she even know about the history and strive of depth that animation has been at for hundreds of years? Does she even like comics, clearly not if she doesn't even have the patience to write her own and horribly rush whichever story she's interested in that day. I've never seen a careless writer be this selfishly unashamed to write literal garbage and surface level 'intrigue' of design and then falling flat face first at EVERY step. Hope she becomes as unbearable of a director as John K. is because honestly even though I'm cringing making that comparison, it's pretty fair in my book considering the outright ABUSE she has always trying to talk or hoard artists into her 'pet project' I recommend above anything else to watch Dan Stamanolous' 'Moral Orel' if you want an actually funny dark comedy or Christy Karacas' fast paced dark horror comic-come-to-life Superjail! for good animattion that doesn't belittle its audience... *[Trigger Warnings for Adult Swim-esque outdated 2007 humor and light transphobia, read for your own triggers if you dont want to though, please!]

The fact that Stollitz is written so flimsily like a wattpad fanficiton of tropes rolled into one is astounding to me, I used to like the dynamic pre-season 2 as I've mentioned on here and @tired-hellowl so I really don't want to get a headache going into how I USED to like it-Realizing the problematic consent issues all of STOLASS is, I physically cannot watch another Helluva or Hazbin promo anymore without rolling my eyes into the back of my head.

To the anons and people who used to also enjoy vivs work, there are other artists and there are other stories to tell. If you wish to be inspired from Dante's Inferno/Hell or WESTERN CHRISTIAN BASED RELIGION keep in mind what source material you're doing because I don't even think vivzie has picked up the bible once in her life.... And I say this as a drifter in the world who believes in reincarnation I don't really vibe with the athiest stereotypes however, I don't believe in most religion but more power to people that do get hope and love from their teachings and cultures.

She entirely missed the mark for several years, nearly a decade. Viv has had time and time again chance and opportunity to give a chance of storytelling with demons and what does she do? Adult Cartoon that has the demons scream 'FUCK SHIT DAMNIT DAMNIT LOOK IM SO HORNY AND SILLY AND WACKY WOAHH THE SCREEN IS CONSTANTLY MOVING YOU CAN NEVER HAVE A SECOND TO BREATH IN ANY AMOUNT OF WORLBUILDING OR SETTING BECAUSE FUCK. YOU.'--

I have said this time and time again- there is no substance or worth about Helluva Bosses or Hazbins writing, even without the show not being released because Amazon seems ashamed about it, I know it'll be a shitshow.

Honestly at this point I agree with the redesign community, take any character you used to like and rewrite them until it's unrecognizable from the original source material, let those fuckers in space fight alien pirates or hell take them out of the heaven and hell trope and just flip it on it's head entirely out of earth or wherever you want to set your story! I'm personally redesigning angel to be a slight aid to my addiction help via rewriting him into my murder mystery heheh while keeping the sexual abuse and recovery in mind because woah that shit happened to me too man !!!

I wish the best to any future writers, animators, programmers, lovers of animation or art, you can do what you put your mind and hands to! Spread more positivity and love then hate in this world please guys, this'll be the last time I pop in I promise I'm trying to get a better job and hopefully get accepted in a community college that i've been on the fence over trying to do more online coding ! The sky is the limit!<3

[theliterarywolf]

...So!

Every so often the YouTube algorithm will remember that I like watching animated short films (you know, your Gobelins, your ESMAs, your overshadowed pilots).

Last night, it kicked in and recommended me an animated short film called "Marmalade is Missing"

And while you may look at this thumbnail and go 'Lit, what the fuck is this? This seems sus as hell', the animation quality art direction are actually really good: it's a story about a Burlesque dancer's pet cat who goes missing right before showtime.

However... You never want to be the type of person to look at certain body-types presented in media and go 'oh, this must be someone's kink' or 'oh, I must be on the weird side of YouTube!' Because even looking up the studio that posted this video on YouTube, Winding Snake Productions, brings up a legitimate, small-time, non-profit independent studio.

However... There were several moments while I was watching this where I just couldn't help but think 'Is... is this a fetish thing? I feel like this is a fetish thing'.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention that the name of the director/head-animator for this short is James Nutting.

[septicwriters]

What I think your favorite ego says about you!

Dark: You are one of two things: you are cool, calm, and collective or, batshit wild. Regardless of which, when you snap, YOU SNAP. Whoever pissed you off better pray to the old gods because the new one ain't picking up his phone. You either seem like you have your shit together, or you really do. There is no in-between.

Anti: Relax? Who is she? Who are eccentric from the start. You are quiet at first, making people think you are shy and just have to warm up to them, when in reality, you are biding your time. Watching your surroundings to see how everyone ticks, and then you strike. Violence is not always your attack, you can also deal out verbal attacks as well. Your RBF is on point.

Wilford: You are that person who is cheerful to hide your trauma. Sorry, but we can still see it. You can't hide a body behind a glass wall. You will smile and give homemade treats and remember everyone's birthday, but everyone once in a while, you will say something to cause everyone's concern to go to an 11. High ADHD levels.

Jackie: You are that one person that is motivated beyond belief. You will wear yourself out with over positivity and helping others and then break down in a public restroom. Crying from stress is a call for attention, even in an empty room (false, cry if you need too) can't drink coffee because it sends your hyperness through the roof and gives you a headache.

Damien: You are the mom friend of the group, you either have snack pouches and juice, or a way to reprimand your friends. You are shy around confrontation, but always quick to come up with a solution to a problem. You wouldn't share homework answered, but would help with the homework. You are the designated driver.

Chase: things you cry at: cat videos, cute kid videos, slice of life anime, cute finales of comedies. You have some sort of an addiction. Coffee, alcohol, cleanliness, art, your hobby, collecting hobbies. Something to keep your hand busy is always needed, helps tame the voices. Your therapist friend begs you to go to therapy, but who can afford it? Definitely not you, and besides, you aren't even that serious. Thinking about death is normal, right? Right?!

Celine: you are the wine aunt. Weather that is literal or towards your friends, that is your title and you where it with pride. Might be some sort of witch. You can become serious quickly, you go from go lucky to problem solver 1-100 real fast. You are always available, even if you're not happy about it. You listen to problems and come up with half good answers. Sorry to say, but arson is not always the answer.

Schneep: you are the therapist friend, and you need a therapist. Carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Must have perfect grades, perfect attendance, perfect ingernal. Coffee is not breakfast, nor is it good to drink at 3 in the afternoon. Eat some real food, please, granola bars are not going to get you through the day.

Actor: in some way, shape, or form, you are a profectionist. People may get upset about the way things must line up, if your drink is one inch higher than expected, everything is ruined. Everything must be perfect, or it's terrible. You either love art, or an artist yourself who hates your art. When someone tells you you are a profectionist, you lash out in anger. Take a nap, might do you good.

JJ: silent but deadly. Words are very rarely exchanged with those outside your friend group. When someone asks you what you are reading, you lift up your book to show the title and continue to read. You made your own lunches at school. If someone crosses you, you will be passive aggressive about it. Dresses formal for every occasion.

Google: you have anger issues, eldest sibling , reliable one? When someone needs advice, you are the first to go to. You regularly go to those warehouses to destroy things. You don't work well with others, prefer to work alone than In a group. Effortlessly get A's on tests.

Marvin: you are either gay, or the gayest straight person. If there's no glitter, you don't want it. You're temper is fiery, but your significant other wouldn't have you any other way. You have enemies, and your friends are worried about that. You have either mental or physical scars and are self conscious about them. Your scars tell your story, don't be embarrassed. You live in the library and write papers that aren't necessary.

Bing: your favorite Ninja turtle was Mikey. Love Bill and Ted. The life of the party, always trying to be the cool guy. You fail at it, but you don't let that slow you down. You once tried to do something reckless, failed, and said that you'll practice until you do it. You succeed. You do anything you put your mind to. Useless facts, no, no one knew that otters hold hands while sleeping to not drift away, but thank you for sharing. Orange crush is your favorite drink.

Tell me how accurate I am!

[warsamongthestars]

I'm not gonna lie.

I find it really weird that, Disney is going all so out on the Bad Batch and how "oh its deep" or "oh its sad" or "look at all this work we did".

Look.

The Voice Actors? Yeah, they did great, they did do well, they are a joy to listen to. The artists and animators? Them too, I do so love how the art flows in the Bad Batch and how if you look closely enough, it kinda looks like everything was painted.

...

But dudes.

The story and writing Sucked.

It blew chunks. In fact, it chewed up the Clone Wars, and fucking vomited, and then attempted to arrange the vomit like "Look at well it did, look how deep!"

I've found puddles on paved roads that were deeper than this show. Watching the little snails come out in the rain, with all their little shells, and the tinkling of the raindrops and the smell of petrichor, was a more meaningful experience in a day of rain, than what this show did in 3 years.

I'm happy, that our VAs developed a meaningful tie to the work they do and the people they did it with.

But I can't help but think like I did with the Star Wars Sequels--look at all that work, all these artists and actors did... that went to waste, because this story was Shit, and was Clusmy, and was very shiny and dramatic but it did jack shit.

No Substance.

And I can't help but think, "Wow, really nailing down how much of a waste this was. Yeah, there was talent, congrats, but look how much of it went to waste because this Writing Was Shit. Because the music Editing was Shit, because a million and one little things came up and bit this show on the Ass, and became One Major Fucking Problem That Over Takes Everything."

I honestly would rather see what the story was through the eyes of Dee Bradly Baker and Michelle Ang, because the story they must've worked on Must have been Fantastic, for the fact those actors have been more authentic in interview and in person, than the characters They Played and the Story We Saw.

Baker on his own could portray a Bad Batch that I wanted to Fucking See In THE FIRST PLACE AS A GODS DAMN SHOW.

And I know he's damn good because THE CLONE WARS FEATURED NOTHING BUT HIM AS THE CLONES AND THEY WERE FUCKING FANTASTIC.

And I'm certain that Michelle Ang would've been just as fantastic too.

But it all comes down to the Writing. If you're writing is bad, it takes Everything Down with it.

And the writing is bad. And frankly all these Melancholic Interviews are just serving to piss me off...

Because we're saying Good Bye to a Story, We never fucking received.

[thechekhov]

Oi!! Vc pode me dar uma dica de como vc começou a desenhar... tô tentando muito nós ultimos meses mais não consigo eu amo seu estilo de arte :)

Hey!! Can you give me a hint on how you started drawing… I've been trying a lot for the last few months but I can't do it I love your art style :)

Sure! The thing is...

it takes more than a few months.

I'm not saying that to discourage you. I'm not saying that to tell you to 'get good'. I'm saying that to explain that you should be patient with yourself. You are likely improving MUCH faster than I did!

This is what MY art looked like after a few months of drawing:

This is what my art looked like after a couple of years of drawing:

...after 5-6 years...

After 7 years...

After 13 years... 16.... 18 years

I've been drawing for... a LONG LONG TIME! And I'm STILL trying to make my art better! I'm still struggling.

So my first advice for you is:

Take your time. Relax. Enjoy it.

Art isn't an arms race. You won't win by being fast. You will win by having fun and drawing things you like to draw.

I recommend drawing as much as you can, but drawing things you LIKE or WANT to draw. Your favorite cartoon, or your favorite animal, or your favorite character. Don't pay attention to what you 'think' you should be drawing. Just DRAW!

Watch other people draw, but don't just look... WATCH. Don't just stare at their art and whine 'I wish I could do that, I'm not as good as they are!'..... instead, stare at their lineart, or their colors, and ABSORB their power. >:) Try to understand HOW they draw the things you like. Imitate them. Hell, trace some drawings if you want your muscles to learn the shapes (but don't post the traced drawings and pretend they're your own work, that's not art).

Draw for yourself. Social media is great, and being able to share your work with peers and friends is a fantastic way to grow as a person. But make sure you're drawing for YOUR benefit, not a hypothetical audience. Wanting to share your art with others is a natural and normal urge! Losing your sense of self and falling into a depressive spiral because you didn't get enough notes on a piece is not healthy, though.

I would give more specific advice, but to get specific advice you must ask specific questions. The vague 'how to get better' is unfortunately only answered by 'do more'. That's the only way.

Wait- you know The Promised Neverland?,

I know quite a lot of fandoms, actually!

Though some of them are like "I watched this thing for once or twice, read few fanfictions and saw art, but probably won't remember even the names of characters, just the concept of plot."

I'll put the whole list under the cut, if you're interested:

❀

Gravity Falls

Watched it a few times, in love with Stanley, but didn't saw anything outside of the show itself.

LadyBug

Stopped watching it a while ago, but I liked Gabriel a lot, pitty he died. It irritates me too much how everyone believe anyone but Marinette.

DDLC

Actually love it a lot, watched even mod about life with Monika after the games. She isy favorite, even though Natsuki is cute to.

CupHead

I've played the first game and actually love CupHead, MugMan and Dice king, but I'm not going to play the second game cause me nerves aren't that strong. Didn't watch the show either because of new character.

Poppy The Perfomer.

Okay, here me out. It's SO crazy and random, that it matches me just perfectly and I love strange animation.

FNaF

Freddy from the very first game is my favorite. I have nothing more to say.

Harry Potter

I think it's important to say here that I've watched the movies, not the books. And Dumbledore is my favorite old man. And I never actually liked Draco.

Ninja Turtles

I think it's important to say here I watched the 2009, 2014 and 2018 and I love them all, but I never checked the comics or other shows.

Undertale

Literally the second favorite fandom, and probably the one who had my attention for the longest time. I'm in love with Papyrus and would marry him, but when it comes to AU, my favorite is Underfell! Papyrus.

Creepypasta

So, I didn't really watched this "All the creepy in one house" thing, but I loved them all seperatly. My favorites are probably Slender brother, like Slenderman, Trenderman, Offenderman, Splenderman and Ben Drowned.

Hazbin Hotel

Okay, so, I'm checking it from time to time but.. uh, I don't really like the fandom. I love Angel Dust though and the "If hell is forever than Heaven must be a lie" song. I don't remember the name.

Nothing much to say, Allmight is my favorite. I'm Deku in that case.

Happy Tree Friends

Coraline

I've made SO MUCH crossovers in my head about Coraline. Didn't read the book, but watched the movie and loved it.

Baldi Basics

This dumbass is the reason I don't like and like math. Love the fanarts, but have no idea why people ship him with the Principal.

Script Segment

This is a rework over my copy and paste of a script segment that discusses controversial topics related to Mobox87's art illustrations and graphic stories but it is more about how they can work in terms of story telling.

Understanding

For this part of the video, I'mma take the time to calm it down and come to some understandings from why Mobox87's controversial art pieces were made based on their inspirations and why I think some of these explicit images and graphic story telling is made to present how those sinister ideas can work, expect for the the pedophilic art considering there's nothing that can support her excuse for that one drawing that was a supposed "joke". First off, the artist grew up with tons of inspiring source material such as the fan made creepypasta comic series 'Pastamonsters'. Other types of material involving anime, video games, comics, manga, movies and TV shows that got her to where she's at to have talent in drawing illustrations and do storytelling. For the illustrations showing characters going through mental, emotional and physical domestic abuse with character ships is most likely inspired by two popular characters from DC in Warner Bros. Studios, "Batman the animated series" from 1992 - 1995 and "The New Batman Adventures" from 1997 - 1999. Now I think you guys can guess where I'm going with this if you're familiar with the series since you must know about one of the well written episodes involving The Joker and Harley Quinn. Both are a couple and a criminal duo that has a toxic relationship where Joker's interests are only for Batman. If I had to pick a couple that Mobox87 made that fit perfectly on this inspiration of why this is her way of character development and storytelling, it'd be 'Dr Sallem' and 'Blurry' because come on look, the characters obviously resemble them.

SO, let's go over an episode called, "Mad Love" from Batman the animated series since it's about Harley Quinn's origin and her relationship with the Joker which of course it is shown that the two aren't doing well together cause Joker is more focused on his work on trying to trap Batman for his next plan. Harley's focus is her love and wanting Joker's affection but she doesn't get any from him. So Joker just assaults her physically by not caring for Harley which she then blames on Batman for not getting attention from her manipulative love interest. Further on when watching the episode, Harley wants to impress Mr. J by trapping Batman to the point where he has no escape from being killed on the spot in a pool of piranhas but of course Batman uses his last effort to stall the situation that he's trapped in by convincing Harley that the Joker wouldn't believe her that she killed him. So, Harley listened and called Joker to come look at how his old plan to capture Batman actually worked but instead of a happy expectation on capturing the cape crusader. Joker barges in and slaps Harley in the face out of anger for her not understanding the point in capturing Batman which being the joke that the plan is supposed to fail. After Joker yells at Harley in the face, he pushes her out the window, nearly killing her in the process as she lies on the ground disappointed that she "didn't get the joke.", but still falls for him after receiving an apology gift back in her cell room at Arkham after being given medical attention.

Honestly, the plot and story involving "Mad Love" is great at telling how toxic relationships can be for the viewer at a young age. Though there is more Harley Quinn and Joker inspired stuff made with the characters Dr. Sallem and Blurry ever since the release of 2016 Suicide Squad movie which practically tells the same story but a little different. It was already discussed by the Moboxcritique blog when someone pointed out the similarities.

The topic of abuse can be done in a story for entertainment as shown from my example but when Mobox87 does it, most of the time the conflict on why that abuse is drawn in such detail isn't really written off well as an important plot element but rather it's just there cause the dominant person in the relationship is bad. The FNAF AU with Renata and William Afton had a better story telling on a toxic relationship mainly because William in the story grows insane and mad as he becomes a murder.

Then of course it became an ongoing thing with another ship and another which drags on to no end. I think that the Sassy AU with Dr. Sallem and Blurry does a great job on it's own but was obviously a cheap and more explicit knock off storytelling of 'Mad Love' without much of the pairings story telling cause QandA carried most of character development that just mostly time skipped and most of the stuff just didn't matter cause it was random or all over the place with illustrations or mini strips- *SIGHS* Let's just say that nothing mattered at all, it was just users requesting Mobox87 to draw this in response and when we did get something big in story telling or something animated. It was just a throwaway idea cause the story would get canceled months later after development. I do think Mobox87's new comic based on Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss does an improvement with story telling on domestic abuse despite it being gruesome like usual. It's about an imp that's trans and goes through the taboos of being in a toxic relationship and abusive lifestyle.

This one is more developed and plays similar to Angel Dust's story on how he deals with Valentino's abuse but more gritty. Funny enough Angel Dust is in the story as a cameo appearance with Valentino.

Anyways, besides the domestic abuse in story telling being constantly shown from an inspired DC Batman story described by me. You can check out this video about 'Mad Love' from 'Channel Awesome' since I think it tells it better than I did.

My general thoughts about this whole domestic abuse in story telling with Mobox87 artwork wasn't much impactful to me when I first came across it during the time I was a fan. It wasn't until later in the years I noticed it became constant that every oc in a relationship was going through some kind of abuse. Luckily I was able to get to read documents and look at folders of evidence of Mobox's illustrations and comics to show you each developed shipped characters. Now off to the next topic.

Let's get into other things from understanding such as the Nazi stuff. We've seen this topic spoken about a lot and you're probably thinking in your head, "What's there to understand?". Honestly nothing really because everyone who discussed the controversial Nazi artwork has gone off to say that it was wrong cause it's glorified (Yeahh, Mob ships gay nazis together, Mobox’s main OC, the rabbit Cassiann, is married to a vampire nazi doctor, a and has drawn nsfw of these nazi characters… And the jokes about nazis… And the Hitler joke) which yeah it's messed up considering its long history and how it's also stereotyped Germans during the years after WWII. Now don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with drawing characters as Nazis as long as the character plays a HISTORICALLY ACCURATE OR SATIRICAL ((examples of that last bit being Jojo Rabbit or Lupin the III)) even DC and Marvel or any type of entertainment we've seen characters as Nazis do an important role to play a part in just being a character's development or rival of conflict. Like 'X-Men 2000' and 'X-Men First Class' for example, the character 'Magneto' has a backstory of him suffering through a tragic event taking place in a concentration camp during WWII and gains vengeance on the ones who tortured him and killed his mother. Another good example is the beginning scene in the first Hellboy movie by Guillermo Del Toro, so know that it's possible to add a purpose to Nazi characters but honestly considering it's Mobox87, she didn't really care nor took the time to think about the drawings where she fetishized furries as Nazis which is messed up by the way she makes it look like a cool thing to the eyes of children especially considering that a fan base known as 'CountryHumans' got into the same controversy for having humanized personas of Nazis and the USSR. Especially when people made these flags personification being shipped together.

Alright, so I went on about how some ideas in domestic abuse and Nazi characters can work as a story plot element without it being glorified. What about the pedophilic or rape stuff? There isn't a good way to put this out there publicly but yeah it can fit in stories as a way to define what a villainous or just a fucked up character did but it's usually depends on how it's presented within books, movies and TV shows. Let's go over a controversial anime that touches upon this topic. For starters Goblin Slayer's first episode on season 1 is well known to have controversy over a specific scene without warning when it first aired. The anime presents itself as a DND (Dungeons and Dragons) type anime by introducing a character as a low level ranking guild member named 'Priestess' who joins in on a party group for a mission to go hunting Goblin as their first task. Further in this episode we get to see the group travel in a cave but end up getting taken down one by one from hordes of goblins as they meet their fate by being killed off until the episode gets to it’s controversial scene where one of the members of the party gest raped by a Goblin. I won't get into details but basically the premise of the story is that goblins are bad when infested in groups and reproduce by taking advantage of young girls and women until the main protagonist of our story comes in slaying goblins brutally, he's known as the Goblin Slayer. To describe the whole thing about goblin slayer is very grotesque but it has an interesting story that is carried by a character's motive to slay goblins and yeah it has very edgy plot element that touches on the sensitive topic of rape and pedophilia but those parts aren't what mainly carry the story nor is it glorified like how Mobox87 is drawing that type of content to children who follow her. Again some ideas and elements Mobox87 uses based on other sources of entertainment can work but differences is that they are always executed just cause they wanted to do it without a purpose or excuse or doesn't know how to properly present it besides be shock value for the viewer but they are a messed up person cause they went out of their way to show things that aren't meant for their audience. Some have speculated with Mob’s NSFW art, almost all of it is of guro, which is a fetish of gore/torture porn (also known as snuff), this, along with the prevalence of rape and abuse in Mobox’s work, has led to several people to believe she has a guro kink and a rape and abuse fetish on the ‘Moboxcritique blog’. So, to the fans, friends and family of her's that defend Mobox87 shouldn't enable her by making this type of art to share but hey even then the fans themselves are just as bad as her or even worse.

__________________________________________________

Will this be the final draft of the future video segment about the topic? No cause it's unfinished and I would like to represent more examples of understanding Mobox87's work and present examples of other types of media to make mental notes that sensitive topics like abuse or characters presented to be part of a propaganda can work.
