Ken Miyashita & Hanzou Akabane

Ken Miyashita - The head of the group and an American transfer student, he's a positive fellow who can't seem to not focus on music. It's a core factor in her life, which leads him to connect with others through shared songs or introducing songs. They can play various instruments due to their unending interest in music, but that leads her to struggle in subjects that don't translate to music that well. Moving to a new school is hard enough, so Ken retreats into his love of music to ignore outside pressures.

Hanzou Akabane - Assigned to help Ken in her first few days at school, Hanzou is Ken's first friend at Kamiyama and the second member of the group. He is more reserved and stand-offish, but tries to help others the best he can. His parents divorced after their arguments got to a breaking point, and lives with his mom. She lets him do whatever he wants, but he just wants her to spend time with him, as she is rarely at home at the same time as him.

Nobutoshi Akabane & Yuuto Yoshinaga

Nobutoshi Akabane - Hanzou's younger brother, he's aloof and free-spirited. After an incident that scarred him, his parents divorced and he lives with his dad. His dad provides guidance and gives him attention, though Nobutoshi would wish he'd lighten up as he's too overly protective. He tries to reconnect with his older sibling, but to no avail.

Yuuto Yoshinaga - The fourth member of the group, he is stoic, level-headed, and way too formal. Adjusting to a more normal life after running from a yakuza gang, he makes friends with Hanzou as they take things more seriously. He is pretty emotional, but is conditioned not to demonstrate so.

if you draw enough monster ocs, when you go back to drawing a human character, it feels like "sameface syndrome" everytime, by virtue of their face being. human.

[iknowwhereyousleepatnight]

The secret to good school is good funding. One day, I dream of a world where all schools have options for their children. Personally, I think it's pretty important for that sort of thing to start out early. See if you're actually into that think BEFORE you're 100k in debt and hating your life.

My area has some awesome architecture. One time, I wanted to do a project on it, and my teacher said it was too complicated. I cried, like genuinely left that class, found a place to sit down, and just cried. The buildings were pretty, and I wanted to talk about them. I really do love the amount of thought put into those buildings. The people who made them are dead, but their art is still there. A bunch of dudes 100 years ago sat down and designed this theater. Then more came in and built it. And here I am, sitting there.

Architecture is so awesome in the way that it's interactive. It can survive longer than any human.

definitely!! being able to explore interests before you gotta choose one for your career is soso important i rlly wish i got to try out some more shit before i had to settle on smth

also sameee my city has a lot of old architecture (especially my school. some of the buildings are falling apart but they're very old and very pretty) and im like just in awe of it like architecture is an art but it's more than an art because unlike a lot of art it's not just something to look at it's somewhere someone lives or works or goes with friends and makes memories like a lot of art doesnt have a practical function but architecture does and it serves as a setting for so much of people's lives and that's really impactful and so awesome because there's architecture everywhere and it's all so beautiful *dreamy sigh*

also sucks that ur teacher sucked i hate when teachers/profs won't let you do projects on what ur passionate abt like passion is the basis of learning why aren't u supporting that....

[raptorladylover6969]

Very specific and random ass things ive noticed abt The Handler that I find very epicly epic

-The concave of her maxilla, and the baggy droopiness of her eyes looks just like that of her atrociraptors, and their skull shapes, which I LOVEEEE

-(This one which was a quote from Scott himself) Her freckles are supposed to represent reptilian scales.

-Her looks resemble that of medieval-European beauty standards. (a high forehead was the SHIT back then, when women would also pluck their eyebrows to enhance it.)

-In the show, she seems to look “out of place.” Like she doesn’t belong there, which is because out of all the human characters, she’s the most hyper-realistic which adds to the uncanny vibes we get from her. Like the way we can see the little details and blemishes in her skin, the cracks in her lips, the little chips of her teeth, the redness of her eyes, the facial muscles that contort and stretch so naturally with each movement, she looks TOO REAL to be in a show like Chaos Theory.

-If you look closely at her brows, they are always narrowed, she always has one fixed expression with them, which only changes when she feels stronger emotions, like the ones which we did see her showcase: anger, frustration, excitement?? (realizing the n5 were in the warehouse with her, she did look pretty joyous from finding them and making her job much more easier.) and guilt.

-She blinks very hard and slow…like a reptile, and on the topic of blinking she actually blinks A LOT considering the little screen time she has. (so when someone says “omg she doesnt blink..” theyre lying, she does 💀 shes a human guys even HER eyes get dry sometimes 😞😞)

-The way she slowly turns her head, her pupils almost unmoving is like that of an owl.

-Her perfect posture which never faults unless injured or forced to. Ough its so creepy…

-She’s actually PRETTY TALL. Comparing her to the atrociraptors height (2 metres, 6.6ft when standing tall) shes like around a foot and a half shorter. She could be around Ben’s height, or like an inch or two shorter. (Also compared to Jensen, she’s like 6 or 5 inches taller 💀)

-Her undercut. I love it. I don’t know, it just brings me such joy seeing her silly undercut like HEHEHEHHE I wanna touch her hair it looks so silky and soft but ik damn well that ho 100% uses sum like 12 in 1 soap or sum cheap dollarstore soap since shes always on the go 🙁

-The aura she radiates the second she walks into a room, she’s able to silence the big carnivorous dinosaurs. SHE SILENCED A CARNOTAURUS AND IT LIKE, DROPPED ITS HEAD. Its like death itself looms around her. Wherever she goes, death and destruction follow, and the other dinos can sense it.

-She SWINGS her arms a lot when she walks, not like a little sway like she’s swinging them hoes. Idk if im just crazy but her arms seem to be a sorta big focus? Like the amount of camera zooms on her arms and hands, the way she sways them when she walks, them being the only part of her skin showing other than her collarbone, being knocked unconscious, thats the only other thing visible, her left arm being injured after getting run over. A R M S. (Now that I think abt it, her left arm being injured after getting hit, BROOKLYNN’S LEFT ARM BEING INJURED…was that supposed to be a foreshadow for Brooklynn having a missing arm…)

-Idk how literally no one pointed this out but at the s1 finale, after the showdown, and when she realizes that her raptors are too hurt to continue fighting, a few seconds after she hugs Ghost, when Ghost walks away, The Handler makes this little “hmph 😞” sound AND ITS SO GRGRGGRGRGRGR LIKE SHE SOUNDS SO DISAPPOINTED AND SAD AND GUILTY BUT ALSO RELIEVED AT THE SAME TIME CUZ HER RAPTORS ARE OKAYISH URGGHHHHH 🙁🙁🙁🙁

-When Tiger and Panthera call out to her when they’re injured 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

-The way she walks into frame, and stares at Brooklynn before blowing the whistle…its like, WHY? Why did she do that for Brooklynn and not the others?? To pop out and make herself known; did she want herself to be the last thing Brooklynn sees? Was she sure she was gonna die? Does she only pop out when she’s like 90% sure her victims will die? Does THAT mean she sometimes has doubts about if the job will go well or not? Is she secretly full of self-doubt? I mean, she is a very calculated person. Scanning perimeters before acting, cutting down the alarm system at Darius’s cabin, killing off any and all witnesses, it would be strange for her to not have some sort of doubt or paranoia that the job won’t go well. Jensen did said she was “being paranoid” when he was in Ronnie’s house.

-So if I were to carve out a specific personality for her based on that alone, she could be a perfectionist, assertive yet a bit doubtful, paranoid, resilient, relentless, carefully-calculated person.

For a character who only appeared in 3 (4 technically if you count the end of Down on the Ranch) episodes out of 20, she’s a VERY interesting individual, and its clear the writers/artists for her character had to think very creatively and critically about her to make her so impactful to the series for such a mysterious character.

[transgenderer]

i understand LLMs making you more worried about AI in general, because like, it was all things considered a pretty drastic improvement, unexpectedly, to heights never achieved before. BUT i think its kind of strange to think of LLMs *themselves* as a plausible path to superhuman AI. like. when we scale up (currently, the only known way to get better LLMs), we're not turning some knob somewhere labeled intelligence, we're making it better at producing output like the data set. like, perfect training, zero loss, would just be correctly predicting the token every time. i mean that's impossible of course language is undetermined, but that's what it's moving TOWARDS. i guess you could run it faster than a human? which kind of counts as superintelligence? but like. idk, you couldnt run it THAT much faster than a human. like, LLMs, among all imagined paths to AGI, seem like a particularly benign one. theyre trained to act normal! like not as some additional thing, just directly. thats what the big training stuff goes to. the later RLHF is to stop it producing output like the full range of the internet, which includes lies and nazis and such

[randomperson0k]

the evil thoughts got me fucked up and shit

OH forgot to mention: top 2 images are the final 'redesign', 2 images below are concept sketches i made for the 'redesigns'

tgs jekyll and hyde but they got evaporated by my evil headcanon beam and stitched back together by somebody who has no experience with using a needle and thread to the point where theyre more just like a seperate character

im sorry for my sins

PLEASE HEAR ME OUT BEFORE BITING A CHUNK OUT OF MY ARM. if anybody wants to read about my evil headcanon world all the stuff is below. wasnt really exaggerating when i said i ripped their character apart and stitched them back together though.

i do have a google doc full of everything i headcanon for tgs but some of that is embarrassing as hell so im just slapping the important stuff here

most of these 'headcanons' are here more because they make me happy than to actually make any sense. as a warning.

smokes fat blunt puffs it in your face anyways uh trans henry jekyll yeah (gets shot) ty person from the j&h community i was messaging that dragged me to the dark side and introduced me to the world of embracing my j&h trans headcanons. a true angel.

i really like more book inspired takes on j&h than the musical ones soo uhh.. yeah theyre the same person fully no j&h arguing thing. im soooorrrrryyy its just my preference for adaptations and i find it a lot more fun to play with story wise. also some other reasons but i wont get into those

polyamorous and bisexual (bi because... obvious reasons. poly because of that one couple they meet up with in the comic every now and then. my favourite ... ship (i think thats the right term?) in the comic. i love them.)

gas mask because it looks cool + chemical shenanigans ("oh but those didnt exist" shh. shhhhh.")

speaking of chemicals! they are much more into science. mostly does science-y stuff when theyre hyde though. they like to break into lodgers rooms and contribute to experiments.

facial hair. thats it. no further reasoning will be given

tried making jekyll in the concept redesign of him look older. failed SO bad im sorry i know its horrible.

hyde has pointy ears + pointer teeth (and green tongue because potion goop) + slit pupils because i am incapable of designing a human hyde. i have no idea why but i just cant.

earrings because 1: i have a bad habit of giving designs earrings and 2: i remember seeing a few headcanons of j&h with earrings and they were so tasty to look at so i had to do my own

bandage scarf thing from the beta tgs hyde design + newer tgs design that only shows up in the mind... world.... thing.

added the uhhh goggles from the old design too.

red and green hat because i couldnt decide if i wanted hyde to have the red hat from the old design of tgs hyde or the green hat from the current design. ripped it in half and chose both. great decision making i know

chunks of brown hair in hydes because why not. also red ring around one eye as like a weird variant of half heterchomia.

hyde has weird patches of green colored skin idk it just looked cool when i was fiddling with colors so i kept it

hyde has red scales in certain spots of the design. no further explanation

gave hyde black gloves to contrast jekylls white gloves + cmon. hyde probably touches the most gross revolting shit with the places they go to. they deserve some gloves.

changed their body type a litttttle bit just a smudge

i was going to give jekyll a cravat around the neck (a really bad designing habit of mine is to give characters cravats. not my fault they look so cool) both as a fancy thing + to hide lack of a adams apple buuttt the design felt way too clumped so im scrapping that. ignore the cravat in the drawing. grrr bARKBAKRABK

actually does sparkle visually/not just as a non-existent visual effect and people can actually see it. lanyon always swats them away because the sparkles get in his face.

hyde is more shorter than shown in the comic, more like book hydes height. like a foot or more shorter than jekyll. jekyll stays around the same height though. hydes probably the shortest one in the society.

permanent eyebags. does not sleep but cmon we all already knew that

hyde has a strong scottish accent instead of the other accent he fakes in the comic that i always forget the name of

has a cane like the og book. its a sword cane.... yeah i have a addiction, im sorry. (like half my own personal characters have sword canes)

i suck so bad at drawing shoes so hydes shoes look like ass but theyre supposed to be big boots since this guy probably walks through yucky mucky areas and stuff

i would totally write some oneshots or something like that of these guys going on adventures doing experiments and stuff yknow . (stuff like lodgers content and interactions, lanyon and hyde interactions because i enjoy secret identity and person said secret identity personal knows outside of their secret identity interactions, that one couple i talked about before interactions with jekyll/hyde and just in general random oneshots that make no sense) if i actually had any literacy skill

anyways im done my ramble. now you guys can shoot me

[majachee]

So far the only "average height" pony Ive properly designed so far is Meadowbrook, and she's due for a slight redesign (mane and face shape)

Like... we got Rockhoof and Starswirl/Star Swirl, who are both HUGE

Stygian, who is a fair bit smaller than average

And... Pharynx and Thorax... who are an entirely different species so they don't count.

Mlp au height chart is wild

[midnightfire830]

Asylum

so are cups n mugs with the questers rn?, and if so what do they think about the wild cup, does cups ever get blackouts?, if you were to list off mental illnesses from cups what would they be, is cups only nice to mugs and literally rabid to everyone else?, is there a cure for cupheads wildness, has cuphead ever actually been to an asylum?, does cups ever experience self loathing or self hate?, does cuphead have medication he takes just to stay sane?, is cuphead even sane?, has cuphead ever been in isolation?, what does cannikan think about his son being like his, does cannikan even know?

Lost toys

So how exactly does everything work?, do the toys have to eat?, does it kinda work like toy story?, for example, the toys could be doin something and someones like “hey andys comin” and then everybody just goes limp, or do the toys have theyre own domain where they exist, or is it kind of like that one tayo the bus movie (i forgor his name T-T), like the humans that own the toys somehow throw them away or lose them some how and they end up in a world with other lost toys like them, what are each of the questers roles?, are there any legos? (Dumb ahh question i know😭), is everything made out of wood and plastic?, what type of toys have theyre faces painted on?, do the toys need to eat?c like toy food or sumthin?, are there any toxic things the toys need to avoid?, like for example acid or soda.. (the soda gets everything all sticky😭)

Angel blood

I think remember you sayin they have some kinda psychic abilities (i thinj), like mugman can do what alice does and feel emotions, and cuphead could see the future, what is the limitation for mugmans ability to sense emotions, can he sense bloodlust or jealousy?, can mugman sense when someone is depressed, or have any mental illness related to emotions?, what was mugman like during the love of tainted bacon chapter?, was he any different?, now for cuphead, could cuphead see when his heart was about to be pulled out of his chest?, if so did he do anything to avoid it?, what are cupheads coping mechanisms for seeing into the future?, if cuphead sees anything important, does he write it down?, could cuphead be able to control it if he worked hard enough?

Ghost

If cuphead was in ghost form would he be able to posses things and people kinda like chalice in TCS?,what would cannikan think,if cuphead could, could he posses the devil?,I remember you tellin me that cuphead had no limits to flying so he could be in like outerspace or sumthin, but in human form could cuphead potentially survive out there?, does cuphead need food?, how fast can cuphead fly?, if cuphead flew out of the earth than put of orbit and THEN out of the galaxy, if he kept flying could he technically fly to another multiverse?

Mermaid

Do the questers just live in an open ocean or is there a civilization of mer people?, if you were to measure any of the questers to an average sized human being, what would be the difference in height?, what kind of fish are they based on?, could they go to the mariana trench?, or how far can they go down?, what are theyre life spans?, can they breath on land and on water?, if any of the questers were to eat human food, what would they be able to eat and not be able to eat?, can any of the questers get legs?, how far away from mainland do the questers live?, if you were to take each quester, how valuable would their scales be? (Or atleast for the ones that do have scales)

Other questions unrelated to aus

I have alot of aus that are unshared, uhhh what would be a good way to get people interested in them?, and what are your human quester headcanons

(Yes im listening to the intense voice of hatsune miku and eating pizza while writing these paragraph long questions)

/lh /t ^^

I’ll answer a couple from each. You’re welcome to re-ask any that I dont answer if you’d like.

Asylum:

If you were to list off mental illnesses from Cups what would they be?

- Cup doesnt exactly have a mental illness. Moreover the demon blood incident took a harder toll against him and he has a way harder time coping and adjusting to it. The main things being he’s a lot more emotionally volatile and unstable. He’s generally in his right mind from day to day. Just if you get him angry and upset he’s quicker to go into a rampage and those rampages last long. And in general he’s WAAAYYYYYY moodier.

Does Cuphead have medications he takes just to stay sane?

- No medications as of yet. If he WERE then maybe anti-depressants or something to treat anxiety. To help with mood swings and regulating his emotions a bit. But those didn’t exist in the 1920s. They were introduced in the medical field in the 50s. And even then, back in the 20s they didn’t have a good understanding of mental illness. Literally people were put in asylums for having ADHD. So. No. No medications. Or official clinical “treatment” outside of what Flug, Hat, and the Devil did to help.

Lost Toys:

So how does everything exactly work? . . . Does it kinda work like Toy Story?

- Pretty much the thing you said “That one Tayo the bus movie”. You know those stories parent’s tell their children when a pet dies? That they went to a farm or something or a better place to make the child feel better? A way for them to cope? That’s a similar idea that I’m going for. The AU is in a child’s imagination. And it’s their favorite toys going to a magical forest where other lost or forgotten toys go to live in the woods together.

What type of toys have their faces painted?

- Cuphead, mugman, Cala, boris, bendy, holly, and Alice have painted on faces. In a sense.

Angel Blood:

What was Mugman like during the tainted love of bacon chapter?

- Well leading up to the love spell mugs wasnt reacting all that well to the experiments. Trying not to get sick and probably had to sit back a few times. So either he wasn’t there for the love spell or he was still under its effect but didn’t care enough to notice the emotions going on around him. Though it was definitely a LOT. Afterwards tho he’d feel very VERY sick.

What are Cuphead’s coping mechanisms for seeing in the future? If he sees something important, does he write it down?

- He keeps a ‘dream journal’ of sorts in his pocket. He doesnt always write every vision he gets but ones that feel important to him or significant he notes down.

Ghost:

In human form could Cuphead potentially survive out there?

- He couldn’t survive in human form out in space. He’d die of suffocation and prolly extreme temperatures and whatever other stardust is out there

Does Cuphead need food?

- Yes He needs food for energy to sustain his body and soul. Even if he were to stay in his ghost form he’d still loose energy and eventually die.

Mermaid:

- So, a bit on the world building:

Short answer: both.

Long answer: the questers live a nomadic lifestyle (no permanent housing, a lot of traveling, etc) Living that kind of lifestyle is very normal for young adult merfolk. Once they get older they leave their families and go off on their own. Start their own pods, explore the world, and figure themselves out. It’s waaayyy more dangerous that way, especially for lone travelers and children. Which is why they usually stick together in groups. From there when they start their own families or get on in their years some decidedly settle down in more permanent housing. And some stay on the nomadic lifestyle. It’s up to preference.

But there are merman civilizations that exist. Most popular being the lost city of Atlantis. It used to be a kingdom on the surface before it fell into the sea. The humans inhabiting it all died out and merfolks moved in. Fixing it up and making it their own. The lost city is now the equivalent to a large city and it’s highly populated by merpeople.

What kind of fish are they based on?

- Ok. Cuphead is a Lionfish, Mugman is a Blue African Peacock Cichlid or and Electric Blue Hap (I can’t tell the difference. They might be the same things I’m not sure), Bendy is a sea monster, his design is based off of the Pixar movie Luca, Boris is a Great White Shark, Felix is a Black Axolotl, Holly is a Yellow Seahorse, and Alice is a White Opal Betta!

I’ll answer a 3rd cuz im obsessed with merman atm

How far away from the mainland do the questers live?

- It varies. But they usually stick kinda close to the mainland rather than far out in the open like most merfolk. They hang out especially along the southern eastern coast of the US in the coral reefs. Like around the Bahamas off the coasts of Florida, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. But they travel other places when they want. Especially for their work, or if they need things that you can only buy in major civilizations.

And a good way to get people interested in your AUs?

Honestly? Just share content. Frequently post art, tease fun things, interact with people in comments or reblogs as much as possible and make as many friends as possible. Build up a community. It’s really, really slow progress. Almost painfully slow. But in the end its worth it.

Have fun! Thanks for the ask!!!

[bobacupcake]

For the shader thing, I was curious about what you think of the fake volumetric ground fog in TotK. I couldn't find a screenshot of it, but it's very prominent in the ancestor cutscenes, I'm sure you're familiar with it

you are so right that i am familliar with them i fixated on them every time i got this cutscene aghjfbgjh

im not sure!!! i have a few guesses though but nothing is super pointing me towards them

for starters, i imagine the thing driving it is some kind of noise/cloud heightmap texture, along with something masking out areas where they should be and shouldnt be (both of these textures are moving & distorting)

but as for how theyre actually doing it.. houghh.. there is definitely a Height to it, if you look at their legs you can see that much, so its not just a really cleverly lit plane.......

mario odyssey has a kind of similar thing in cap kingdom, but im not 100% convinced these are using the same technique

talked with @krisp-xyz about this and she pointed out the mario one definitely seems more mesh-based, with the alpha being set based on how far objects in back of it are (so if the fog is right in front of a solid surface, its very transparent, but if its further away, its more solid!!)

another thing that i'm not 100% sure about, but the fog in totk seems lower resolution, compared to everything else? so my two guesses are either its just a very fancy mesh-based approach, with the general "shape" of the clouds being blocked out and pushed around by the textures, and then the textures & normal maps being used to give it convincing lighting + transparency (along with what theyre doing in mario odyssey, transparency based on the depth of the objects behind it). and then on top of that it definitely seems like it would be blurred a little bit with a post-processing effect to hide the fact that its a mesh even further, and placed onto the scene based on the depth information. this is kind of similar to what the clouds in sea of thieves do. if this explanation sounds kind of vague thats because it is it looks soo good if theyre doing it like this i cant begin to imagine the specific calculations theyre doing to get it looking so natural from different angles

which is why my second theory is from, and its that, they are doing raymarching??? it LOOKS raymarched, but i didnt jump to it because, raymarching is expensive!! essentially when you hit a mesh, you then start taking little tiny steps through it, and after a certain number of steps, you add all the values you got together, and divide it by the number of steps, and thats the average for that point ! you can also do a lighting calculation for each point but the more things you add onto a raymarched shader the performance very quickly adds up, since if say your step count is 64, every operation you do on a pixel will be done 64 times

here's a very old gif of me messing around with it .. in like ..... 2017......

but again i hesitate on this because, its a switch!! and raymarching is expensive!! though like i said it does look like its scaled up and possibly blurred, so if they were doing the raymarching calculations at like 4x the screen size, and only needed a few steps because it is only taking up a little bit of the ground and they can blur it, and also marking the areas where they Dont have to do raymarching by the mask texture. then maybe????? unless someone has access to the rendering frames for this though i would not be able to say for sure. but those are my two theories!!!

[puzzled-pegasus]

What if?

Wings of Fire infection/curse AU where the infection is related to the dragons' tribe element.

I see a lot of infection AUs so i wanted to get on the train with my own idea even tho its most definitely not original lol. Here's what I mean tho.

(TW for semi-graphic descriptions of the following: mind hijacking parasitic infection, muscle dystrophy i think its called, stomach parasite, parasitic spores, fatal insomnia, exhaustion, and body decomposition, body horror in general)

For SkyWings, the sky is their element. Infected dragons' scales turn sky blue, starting around the infection site and first attacking the legs in most cases. They become afraid of heights and afraid of landing due to their nonwing limbs starting to fail them. Their fire cools and weakens until all that comes out is blue, dusty smoke, full of spores to infect more dragons. One day, they have an unexplainable urge to fly to the highest point possible...but they are still terrified to land due to their weakened limbs, so they fly around until their lungs and chest muscles give out and they crash land from exhaustion. Once landed and dead----at this point their scales are almost if not entirely blue---the blue, mossy plant sprouts from their body, beginning from the site of infection. If the disease is transmitted through bite, the spread starts there; if the spores are breathed in, it starts from the throat just behind the chin.

For LeafWings, it's plants. Leaves start to grow where they don't normally. Moss covers the dragon. Tails and horns branch out and flower, sending out contagious spores. Dragon movements become sluggish and robotic. At death, they lie down or collapse into the dirt and take root, growing a new plant.

For MudWings, it's less obvious. In earlier stages, the dragon appears distant, and wants less to do with their siblings. Their mood changes. They complain of stomach pain and bloating. They become lethargic for a while, then suddenly extremely anxious. Finally, they go dig a hole and crawl into it, covering themselves with dirt and mud. Soon paralyzed, the dragon will not move until death. Their body sinks into the ground, and a patch of the swamp dwelling infectious plant strain grows unassumingly over top, having taken root in the dragon's abdomen.

In NightWings, it starts with the loss of sleep. The first symptom is that no matter how hard a dragon tries, they cannot sleep. After several days of remaining awake, the infection starts to shpw itself on their scales. Their scales lighten, turning silvery pale like a moonbathed NightWing egg. Hallucinations. Sense of impending doom. Visions that are more like a nightmare, as if the dragon is really there witnessing the worst. Depending on powers, the symptoms are different. In later stages, infected dragons' scales glow in the dark, as do the plants that sprout from their decomposing body after they die.

Cases have not yet been found in SandWings. Their habitat is not suitable for any species of this parasite.

RainWings lose their color change ability in patches, green or white spots growing on their scales until theyre covered. At the last stage, they typically hang from trees by their tails. The plant's branches hang down like vines, and any dragon who walks through the curtain of green is likely doomed.

A SeaWing slowly gets covered in algae. At last, they climb onto the beach and die, and the flowers bloom.

In IceWings, it is rare, but possible. The plant stays deep inside, to avoid the cold of the dragon's habitat. The dragon's limbs become paralyzed one by one, beginning with the wings. Sometimes, in the far north, the plant can freeze and be killed before it kills the dragon, leaving them partially paralyzed; but in the lower arctic tundras, in the summer, it will sprout and kill them.

In HiveWings, it's a lot like ant fungus. They act strange, expressing no emotion or reaction to those around them. Their connection to the othermind is severed; the only plant that controls their mind now is the disease. More often than not, they are executed before the plant can grow, but if they aren't, they will find a high place and then freeze like a statue until the sprout bursts out of the neck, throat, skull, eyes, of their still-standing corpse.

It's the same in SilkWings. Metamorphized Silks are typically immune, but larvae are not.

[zelenbug]

i forgot to post this for over a whole month but i got raymap on unity and did the heights thing for the playable characters (and also babys) in rayman arena (gamecube) now. so this is mildly interesting

heres tribebin (races), fishbin (battles), menubin (character select and podium) respectively. the apparent inconsistencies in how theyre sorted is because of different idles

its all the same sizing in all the three modes/bins/whatever but i still decided to get all three for convenience

henchman 1000 technically ends up being shorter like this than rayman and tily but im not counting that

the most accurate sizing you could get would be if you could just line up their tposes. theres good models resource uploads of their actual tposes (unlike literally all the rayman 3 uploads none of which have the original tposes!!!) but i dont know how correct the scale is

like theres no way globox is this close in height to tily???? as in literally shorter than her??? like look at those other images the hell??? so yeah take this image with a grain of salt

either way it seems evident the actual tallest ones would be the henchmen (even despite being FAR smaller than in rayman 2). i think theyd be somewhat taller than dark globox if they stood straight up. i know theres a battle animation where henchman 1000 does it but i forgot to actually use it for a comparison oops

THE WIND WAKER AHHHHHHHH I love this game SO much, ranked right below OOT and MM for my all time favorites.

One of my biggest critiques of the game is that I wish Aonuma was given the proper time to develop the game since you can tell that there should be more but a lot was cut out for time constraints. Still an incredible game but what I would give to have a full scale sequel or the full scope of the original game T^T!!!

Writing typed below as well as my game notes! (Game notes won't be typed since it's just a mess of notes for puzzles and things to come back to)

I love this game so much holy shit. What a perfect sequel to the Hero of Time story, what a great continuation of Ganondorf's motive. I definitely wish there was more, esp dungeons and zora and towns, but this game was made pretty quick after MM and on the GC so I know there are limitations. Everything from Link, Tetra, the sound effects, the stylization, the Rito, the Koroks, Ganondorf, oh my god I absolutely adore it. Everything about it is so unique yet having the core Zelda elements within it. I also noticed how many future games took a lot of inspiration from this game, esp TP and TOTK. I also love how involved Tetra/Zelda is to the plot, Link could not have succeeded without her help, esp in the final battle and when saving Aryll. This game gives so much personality and background to Link and Tetra, every single cutscene is such a delight. This would be a super replayable game if my GC wasn't so wonky. Hopefully it'll come back to the switch. I love this game :')

🦄🐅 viserys ? :))

🦄 - Characters' physical appearance.

fat boy season get some!! vis was always heavier but really gained weight after becoming king. then lost all that weight as he got sicker. gold>silver. warmer skin tone. freckles. wavy hair. deep violet eye color. dark circles around his eyes. buck teeth, crooked smile, and big ears from alyssa. chin dimple from baelon. never lost the baby fat in his cheeks. average height, but has bad posture so he looks shorter. cares a lot about his appearance/presentation. flamboyant. valyrian fashion done westerosi style/fabrics, lots of jewerly. (maybe some balerion bone/scale jewelry)

when viserys was younger he kept his hair long (usually done back in a loose/lazy braid) and stayed clean shaven. but when he became king he grew his iconic mustache and cut his hair to invent the mullet. im sure theres nothing behind this.

🐅 - Characterization: character habits, personality, etc.

rhaenyra got her habit of playing with her jewelry when anxious from viserys.

when daemon was growing up hed never let the grooms touch him which meant it came down to viserys to make sure daemon was dressed and bathed and had his hair done. viserys was… not very good at it. (youre PULLING MY HAIR i wouldnt have to PULL if you sat STILL) daemon was his guinea pig to learn. by the time viserys has rhaenyra hes GREAT at it. viserys loved to sit with rhaenyra, give her elaborate braids and swap gossip. daemon gets jealous.

viserys loves babies and babies love him. never met a baby he couldnt make giggle. chronic baby fever. all of viserys children, regardless of how their relationship develops, got spoiled as babies. when theyre still young enough that they wont throw fits about it, he liked to dress them the same as himself. his little mini mes

viserys room is ““organized”” chaos. every surface is stacked high with books and scrolls hes reading, half finished sketches and models. if you ask him if hed like it to be cleaned up he says then he wont be able to find anything! right now he knows exactly where everything is. now ask him to find a specific book he borrowed from the library 3 months ago.

The Skelebros + Frisk! 🧡💙❤️

Their heights aren’t accurate in terms of scale (probably) but they are accurate in terms of ‘hey if theyre real people this is how tall they’d be’.

Papyrus ‘Kitty’ does have his Battle Body as this takes place during Undertale but anytime I draw him in it he simply looks like a marshmallow. All three of them have lockets, but Paps’ is in his pocket (you can kinda see it danglin in his shorts pocket). He’s a pain to draw with his lil discoloration patches.

As always skeleton anatomy is bullshit.

[steel--fairy]

ship meme things!! sorry if its potato quality, i did the memes on my phone then had to send them thru discord to get them on my tablet to draw the pics lol

random notes under the cut:

per the scale world models (the closest we get to canon heights for these two), steven is something like 5'10 and wallace is 6'0 but i refuse to acknowledge steven could ever be tall. man radiates short king energy. wallace gives model vibes, so he gets to be extra tall

because of their height difference and difference in body types they can't share clothing but they do share a lot of jewelry.

wallace likes to use very classic pet names, yknow darling, sweetheart, my love, etc

steven had a crush first (yearsss of pining) but wallace was the one to act on the feelings

theyre in the middle for bug because theres no option for "pet the bug because thats armaldo and he lives there too"

neither can drive or have ever taken any lessons. all flying or teleporting by pokemon. or just walking lol

stevens cooking is edible. thats the best you can say. wallace is actually a great cook however.

occasionally holding hands is the most pda they do. steven dislikes pda. wallace doesnt mind it necessarily, but also likes keeping his private life private so he doesn't mind not doing pda.

wallace has had a number of relationships before steven while wallace is stevens first

steven, stemming from years of pining, is more likely to get jealous but doesn't dwell on it for long. wallace meanwhile knows steven doesnt like flirting and attention so theres little jealousy on his side.

atlantios is my hc last name for wallace : ) i thought there would be enough room to write it out legibly orz

they met (for more than one conversation) at 18/19 and 21/22 when steven went to challenge the sootopolis gym. wallace had just taken over by the time steven got there.

they are both prep-nerds i dont make the rules (wallace more prep, steven more nerd)

idk if the "updog" one is who asks or who falls for it, but steven would fall for it lmao

wallace initiated the relationship but steven zoomed through basically every other first

wallace is more talkative on average, but stevens more likely to talk nonstop for three hours so it sort of averages out. quantity vs quality

neither are really drinkers. wallace because of some things in his past, while steven just doesnt like it

neither are really frivolous but stevens definition of "not a lot of money" is veeeery different from wallaces lol

it would be so sick if humans were like a tenth the size. i feel like probably you could have human intelligence in something much smaller, african grey parrots are way smaller than like, baboons, and probably smarter. anyway. it would be great because physics would be so much more convenient. like we're at this weird size where theres a lot of things we CAN do but theyre really expensive. you can totally imagine a species thats too big for boats (with more than one or two passengers, maybe) to be viable, too big for aircraft to be viable, too big for manned spaceflight. our size isnt a limiting factor at all for boats (boats dont get much bigger than the biggest boats that exist now because theres not much demand but especially because beyond a certain length, waves can break it apart just from the sheer difference in height between parts of the boat) but it is for planes, and extremely limiting for spaceflight. also because humans are megafauna this limits how useful animals can be for us, very few animals are big enough to be able to do work on our scale. can you imagine like elf size humans. we would struggle early on of course from like, predation, but biological stuff would be relatively way more powerful if we harnessed it. also blimps would be viable
