Tfw your brother and your uncle and their significant others all got their shit together and are all now in the honeymoon phase. At the same time.

So, I am currently trying to get my sketches collected and cleaned up for @amevello-blue and @alicat54cwriting 's Purple Squared and Purple Rectangle stories.

And I was gonna make these anyway, but then I realized the passage of time exists and it was Pride, and I was like. Well. I gotta. So, sneak peak?

[khihi]

how alien kä and erika moved around in the mv was such a good choice by the director or whoever was responsible for it, aside from just making it more interesting to watch in general i feel like it really made a point of how different/wrong those kind of hateful words probably make them feel

comments like that are dehumanising

just makes me think about the article where jere spoke about wanting to "encourage people to be what they are" and how he wants to make "a safe space" for anyone no matter gender or body shape – they know what it's like to feel outcast and weird – they want to let people know it's okay

[endiness]

just to add to the list of reasons why i do not like the redesign of maria's outfit in the remake and the narrative issues with it: maria's outfit is in direct contrast to mary's outfit in the original to reflect their different personalities.

maria is wearing dark, bold pinks while mary is wearing soft pastel pinks and white/cream colors. maria's skirt is leopard print and mary's dress has a flower print. maria is wearing a short skirt and a short top that isn't even buttoned all the way and mary is wearing a knee-length dress with a jacket that's completely buttoned up.

like, maria's outfit in the original is supposed to reflect her personality and how it is the opposite of mary's because maria is not only james' fantasy of mary in general but very specifically his sexualized fantasy of her. like, literally lol.

so by having maria's outfit in the remake be so boring and bland and flat and much more conservative looking — and i don't just mean the amount of skin showing (or not) but just in terms of things like color and pattern and style — it feels like it's largely missing the point of the costume design in the original game and how it was all very intentional in order to reflect and contrast their differing personalities.

Indentured for Life au

What has natsuo been up to since he was freed ? What have the other quirkless people done after realease ?Also how have some heroes(Like hawks) and hero students reacted to finding out that the organizatorom they served was using slave labor

Natsuo is catching up on his schooling! He's in an accelerated program and, thanks to an embarrassingly small amount of settlement money from the government, he has his own shitty little apartment in a barely tolerable area. He loves it to pieces. He isn't used to living alone, so it gets pretty lonely, but some of the other workers live close by and they come hang out pretty often. Izuku visits a lot too! He's aiming to be a nurse. Some of the others have gotten work in hero agencies for costume repair (its. ethically strained, but its the only work they know and they are happy to do it, as long as they are getting paid a fair wage.) and some others are working in activism and quirk discrimination charities.

As for reactions?

Hawks

His hands were still shaking. He'd been retching uncontrollably for what felt like hours, his hands shaking as he torn himself out of his costume. How many times had he been grateful for the hand stitched seams on his costume being gentler on his wings? For the warm leather on his googles that had already been shaped for his head, with hand written instructions for leather care tucked into the box. Fuck - he'd thought they were old fashioned for the note, not locked in a factory without so much as a fucking printer. He needed to make a public statement, the faster the better. He had to say something loudly because the HPSC had time to write his statement for him. Just. Just when his hands stopped shaking.

Endeavor

His PR team must be having a field day. Endeavor's own son, recovered from one of the factories? The man himself with nothing to say? What could he say? That he'd kept his mouth shut so his youngest son had a chance at overtaking All Might, that his youngest son could help where he failed? Ha - that'd go over well. He hoped Natsuo knew he still had a college fund. Still had a credit card in his name, a bank account his father put money in once a month, for when he was finally free. Maybe he'd take it, if it was from Fuyumi.

Iida Tenya

His brother had been upset that week. He'd come home early, corralling his parents into a meeting room and not leaving until they'd found a new costume supplier and a public statement beyond repute. He hadn't known why, not until the news story had broken that morning. Tenya had been lost, staring at the television until he was late for his train, only arriving to class minutes before the bell. He'd always wanted to be a hero. But - could he? Knowing what he knew now, about the organization he'd have to answer to?

Bakugo

His mother had screamed when she'd seen that footage of Deku, All Might carefully breaking the metal cuff around his throat. The nerd had only smiled weakly, like seeing All Might wasn't everything he'd ever wanted. He was so thin, his hands covered in small cuts, burns and blisters. He wanted to feel upset, that Deku had ruined his hero costume too - but. It was his fault. He was the one who told those fuckers Deku was quirkless, after auntie had so carefully not commited to putting anything down on paper. He and the idiots had trailed All Might once, before they knew that's who Yagi was. They'd seen the buildings, the lady with the collar. They'd put it out of their minds because they hadn't had a choice. No closure, just a creeping unease that would sneak up on them at night. Deku had been in one of those factories. Deku had been making the blast proof mesh on the palms of his gloves, the sweat wicking fabric of his winter costume, the thick tread of his combat boots. Katsuki stared up at the blank ceiling and tried not to think any more.

“Alright, let’s do this one last time, yeah? My names Robin Vega. I was bitten by an intergalactic alien spider, and for the last three years I’ve been the one and only Spider-Nova. You know the rest; Saved a bunch of people. Saved a bunch of people again. Saved a few planets with the Nova Corps, that was pretty cool. Became a costume designer for some local heroes and the occasional vigilante. I like to think pops would be super proud if he was still here.”

(Character info below the cut)

Have I seen Across the Spiderverse? Not yet. Have I seen Into the Spiderverse? Yup! Does that constitute me making a spidersona? Absolutely! Everyone say hello to my chaotic bean Robin! I’m gonna list out some things I’ve got ideas for below b/c not everything has been fleshed out (the timeline is not set in stone, so all canon ages and events are still in the works).

Most of this was based off a joke between me and friend; what if Robin somehow landed in the ultimate Spider-Man (cartoon) universe and met Sam/Nova and they had a contest over who was the best Nova? (It’s totally Robin)

Robin comes from an alternate universe where, after an infinity war esc event (not necessarily infinity war, but like an intergalactic war of sorts, Earth became a hub for intergalactic travel and communication

By the time Robin became Spider-Nova Earth has an abundance of intergalactic life living there, primarily alien races who have lost their home planet). This lead to Earth gaining its own Nova Corps devision on planet.

Robin is roughly the same age as Hobie (he gives me the vibes of being in his late teens to early twenties) so they’re somewhere between 19-21 years old. They’re also Nonbinary and use They/Them pronouns.

Robin was raised by a single father Benjamin “Benji” Vega. Benji was always Robin’s number one supporter. Robin punched a kid at school because he was bullying another kid? Benji got them ice cream. Robin came out as nonbinary? Benji was doing everything to change pronouns and understand his kid better. Robin showed an interest in sewing and cosplay? You know Benji was buying the best sewing machines, and went to every fashion show Robin was in

Robin was super close to their dad because of this and they were devastated when he died. They went to live with their Aunt May after their dad passed

They stopped sewing for a long time after their dad passed. May was the one who eventually convinced Robin to start sewing again.

Robin was part of a costume design internship at the time of the bite

They had visited the Nova Corps research lab as part of a research project. It’s unknown how the alien spider got out, but that’s what bit Robin.

Because the alien had been exposed to small amounts of the Nova Force over a long period of time, it had absorbed the energy and passed on a few of the abilities most Nova Corps members have.

This includes levitation and limited energy absorption (the superhuman strength and agility overlaps with the spider person abilities)

Robin has many of the standard spider-person abilities such as web-slinging, wall-crawling, enhanced stamina/strength/agility/etc., and spidey sense

While Robin can sort of use energy blasts, they primarily channel them through their webbing so the blast is more accurate. They also thought the idea was funny

The don’t often use their flight ability unless they need to get somewhere fast. Usually web-slinging is enough.

Because they gained their powers from the Nova Corps (albeit unintentionally) Robin was inspired by the Nova Corps uniforms for their own costume.

Their costume is primarily solid colours with the torso and shoulders being solid black and the legs being a golden yellow. Their spider symbol is red inspired by the ranking symbol. Their ankle boots are also red and black

The webbing patches on their jacket and arms are inspired by a yellow, blue, and green supernova image I found.

I’m still deciding on if the cargo pants should be like an acid washed grey or straight black

Robin really enjoys baggy clothes. It’s not for any body insecurity reasons - they are comfortable in their body - they just like the silhouette

They especially like cargo pants and big jackets because of the ✨pockets✨ that’s why their costume has those elements

Robin is the epitome of “you can use anything as a weapon if you swing hard enough”…despite literally having the ability to shoot energy from their hands

Robin does have a noticeable New York accent which gets worse when they’re mad or excited

“The woild is yer erster!” “What?” “Yer erster!” “What?” “You know, yer fancy clam with the poyle inside!” “Oh, you mean oyster”

Despite claiming the need to protect their identity, Robin has walked out of the house in their costumes jacket b/c it was the first this they grabbed when leaving the house on numerous occasions

And that’s all I got so far! I love my chaotic bean so much 🤧

House of the dragon is a prime example of why you need proper historical undergarments when wearing historical/historical-inspired dresses

Random Colour Symbolism in the Human AU

So, people’s hair is incredibly important for storytelling purposes. It tells a lot about the character, from their personal style to their personality. It also can be used to show change like leaving the past behind (think of all the dramatic hair cutting scenes) or becoming who the character actually is (the reveal of their hair actually being curly or dying their hair). All in all, it’s huge in character design. 

As is the way characters dress and hold themselves.You can tell a lot by how a character is dressed from their profession to their hobbies to their favourite colours. If they’re wearing an heirloom, it’s implied that family is something that’s important to them, like wearing a suit implies they are business oriented. That’s why animators and illustrators spends so much time focusing on the little details of what the characters wear.

And colour theory is also important. Colours have different meanings and associations in different cultures and areas of the world. They are commonly used to showcase traits for characters long before said traits actually appear. 

Why do I mention this? Because a while ago while I was working on character profiles for the human au, I decided to combine these for Johnny. Working in the self expression aspects as well as colour theory (and referencing silverback gorillas for an easter egg), this is what I came up with for the evolution of Johnny’s hair and style between movies. I hope you enjoy!!

***Heads Up: I do have a more severe costume change mentioned as I found his and Meena’s lackluster in the wake of all their growth.***

----------------------------------------

Johnny’s story arc primarily is one of identity and acceptance. In the first movie we see him at first as a mini version of his dad. He’s dressed in his dad’s hand-me-downs and it’s clear he’s trying to mimic the man and make him proud by focusing on their similarities.  He’s clearly trying to come across as intimidating and grown up which really doesn’t work. However, this makes him seem just small and lost and he looks like a little kid trying to play dress up.

Over the course of the movie however, we start to see slight changes in his appearance. During rehearsals and practicing, Johnny’s hair starts to look a little bit more silver (like his dad’s) but only for a few seconds. His posture also improves and he starts to come across as more self assured. He starts to actually look closer to his age. This only relapses when Johnny nearly steals the prize money, again appearing as a smaller version of his dad. When he stops however, the lighting on-screen has his hair come across as silver, when he decides to win the money properly. 

During the final performance scene, Johnny’s hair can only be read as silver because of the lighting, with the actual black color only appearing briefly. This is indicative of him becoming his own person and starting to make a path of his own, with or without his father. When we see the two reunite, Johnny’s hair looks almost as silver as his dad’s for a few seconds at the end when his dad leaves, marking him as his own person and his father’s equal not his shadow as well as this being the start of something new for both of them.

In the second movie, Johnny’s casual appearance has drastically changed from the first. His hair is longer than his dad’s and is styled in a way that is clearly his own preference as we see none of his family members with a similar one. It is also silver tipped, just like his dad’s, again marking them as equals. Johnny’s clothing also seems much more fitted and like his own, and despite wearing the same jacket as in the first movie (this time showing his connection to his family instead of mimicking), his clothing is more stylized and has more accessories. It’s clear that Johnny is no longer focusing on being a version of his father and instead on being his own person. He seems much more confident as well, using his appearance to showcase his identity. He looks older. This shows how much he’s changed since we last saw him.

 However, when he’s with Klaus, his hair appears darker and he once again is read by the audience as small. It isn’t until he gets his confidence back that his posture straightens again and his hair seems as silver as it was in the beginning. But, it does go back to essentially all black when Johnny is getting attacked during the performance, showcasing the fear and self-doubt he was feeling at the time. When Johnny starts to fight back again and gain traction in the fight, his hair starts being read as more and more silver until at the end it appears to fully be so. This would mark once again Johnny’s victory in the situation as well as him doing so as himself, not as who someone else wanted him to be, therefore bringing the identity aspect back into the picture.

In all instances when Johnny’s hair can be read as silver, I would hav it so that it does look like a trick of the light, but the symbolism remains. Silverback gorillas are the leaders of their groups. They are in charge. And while the silver colour was a nod towards that base species, it also symbolises maturity, healing, and enlightenment, all things that do appear in Johnny’s story. He matures in both movies from a scared kid to someone who is confident in himself and who he is. He heals his relationship with his father as well, and his relationship with his family is clearly important to him. As for enlightenment, I would argue that his story does touch on that in a broad sense as he is enlightened in the second movie to continue to be himself no matter how many people try to stop him.
