apex legends season 21

idea by @we1rdsci3nce i just rlly wanted to draw it

[beepyscircus]

‘Father’

🥽 hiii Apex community did you miss meee (no I know I barely post here anyway)

I started working on this comic like a year ago and I think I was originally going to plan more but I never ended up finishing it sooo in the spirit of me getting back into Apex a bit (don’t fret Overwatch is definitely hanging around for a bit longer still)

I decided to spruce it up a little and post the more updated comic onto here!

Also planning on uploading here more since tumblr is nicer to artists than instagram erm

Ig if y’all want context this is part of my AU so if it seems out of characters it’s because it is! On purpose, promise. Also Caustic’s dad is kind of important in my AU and I wanted to focus some more stuff about him, also I like drawing Crypto and Caustic interacting like normal siblings💀

[animentality]

I'm sorry.

I'm just laughing over like... overwatch fans being mad at me for saying their game isn't that fucking great at queer rep.

it has TWO LGBT characters who were openly LGBT as SOON AS THEY WERE RELEASED.

that's fucking Lifeweaver, added to the game in 2023, and Venture-

a fucking nonbinary character who ISNT in the game yet.

do you understand why this is laughable?

overwatch has been around for 8 fucking years and it took a fucking sequel to force them to reveal characters were queer from the get go.

for the past 8 years, they've been queerbaiting mercy and pharah, while hocking how canon gency is, they have been teasing roadhog and junkrat, barely, and I guess.

if you MUST defend blizzard.

you can say well it's ok they did reveal tracer was a lesbian on Twitter and then they admitted soldier 76 was gay literally 3 years after he was released, and then they made pharah a lesbian and baptiste bisexual- literally 7 years after pharah was released and 4 years after Baptiste was.

yeah.

so progressive revealing that in random comics and lore bits that barely show up in game, if they ever do. and I haven't played overwatch in a while, because I have a high degree of respect for myself, but from what I fucking remember, soldier doesn't say shit about his boyfriend, if he even has one, tracer only makes a reference or two to Emily, who might as well be her sister with how mild it was.

and I vaguely recall Baptiste flirting with ana. and pharah as far as I know has never ever said anything about all the hot chicks she dates on the side.

and that's it.

that's your amazing queer rep.

you have two queer characters from the start who were not retroactively made gay, and one hasn't even been released yet.

good work, blizzard.

so revolutionary.

y'all know blizzard is an American company and gay marriage has been legal in the US since 2015?

whereas apex legends literally started OFF in 2019 openly stating hey this character is trans and this one is nonbinary and this one is gay and this one is a lesbian and these TWO literally hit on men and women- oh also the pansexual and nb PLAYABLE CHARACTERS are dating and they flirt and dote on each other in game-

but I'm getting flak from you weirdo blizzard fans who for some reason think blizzard is worth your devotion?

even if it was good at queer rep, I am not sure if fucking blizzard and OVERWATCH 2, one of the biggest monetary scams in all of gaming are the hills you want to die on.

but at least you'll be dead.

Got some more :D

1: what apps do they like to use? I can see them using twitter & maybe TikTok; probably do silly videos on there.

2: did Nightwing & starfire, plus mar’i tried to hide their superhero identity from Jake? (Probably did the same before mar’i got her powers too.)

3: how would a starburst duo movie start?

4: besides spider-man, do they like other spider-man stuff like the venom movie?

5: do they play battle royale games? I can see them both playing Fortnite (& doing the dances both in & out of costumes) but Chris likes COD Warzone & Jake like apex legends.

6: silly question, since they are pre-teens almost & have girlfriends, what do they prefer: butts or boobs? or personality XD

Sorry for the wait @gothicghost2000 But Here we are XD

1. They have three primary social apps: YouTube (the first one respectively), Twitter and Tumblr. All three apps have specific tools The Duo can use for their particular hobbies and interests, Tumblr for example being the blog space where they can give their predicts and hypotheses about their favorite ongoing shows and where it can go from there.

YouTube is their video library place, for all sorts including live streams, recaps of favorite shows/games, and yes thank to the Shorts function, TikTok style videos. Chris and Jake thankfully have both Jake’s tech expertise and even Oracle on some occasions to help them make sure they don’t get busted for copyright by the algorithms.

2. Not entirely actually. Even as a toddler, Jake was a relatively smart cookie and everyone knew it so before he was able to piece it altogether by the time he was 3 to 4 in his own way, Dick and Kory came clean to him about everything and even Mar’i pitched in about her training to one day be a great superhero like Momma and Daddy are since she has powers while Jake’s are still not kicking in.

I can just imagine little Jakey looking at his family, taking it all in and then finally breaking the silence saying “Does that mean I blast lasers from my eyes too later?” Akin to when Marky found out his powers at the end did the original Invincible comic

3. Basically I’d have first a colorful and detailed title sequence that through simple comic panels and even some motion comic elements, details the basics of how the Duo were born, Chris’ arrival on Earth and adoption by the Kents, the two first meeting as little kids who look up to their parents as their heroes, Jake’s power first kicking in when fending off a bully at school, the Duo training on their powers together and gaining renown slow but steadily, then once the title scene ends, we open with a bang as we are catching up with the Duo in the middle of a massive superhero battle in Metropolis against all sorts of baddies and villains, something akin to the opening shots of Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith

4. They have a good laugh and thrill at the first and second Venom movies respectively. They also are big time fans of the Spiderverse films; there actually is a strongly passionate debate between Chris and Jake over which Spidey films are better. Chris vouches for the Raimi trilogy while Jake sides firmly with Spiderverse. Other than all that though, both also watch every single Spidey animated series, good or bad, collect what their friends online consider the best runs in both Marvel Prime and the Ultimate Universe (the latter Jake is really into thanks to his Uncle Tim(my) loving Ultimate Spidey) and regularly playing co op on the Playstation games

5. Only once a month really and it’s mainly Fortnite. I can’t really see them playing COD or Apex not just because those two are more FPS centric which even if fictional in universe doesn’t sit that well with them for various reasons, but also for COD especially there egregious money practices from all that miscellaneous DLC, Lootboxes when they are a thing, battle passes, etc. it just doesn’t sit right even if technically Jake can be considered a millionaire’s kid at best

6. Personality. Full stop. Even if they’re aware of the more scandalous and fanservice side of true love, they have the content of a female’s character above physical appearance of any kind. Chris and Jake respect girls and women, plain and simple.

helloo! your art is beautiful! can I ask what show/comic/game/media/etc. inspired your art style? your art looks and feels a certain way, there's something distinct about the designs (particularly the faces), it feels anime-like and elf-like, reminds me of Link although I'm not extremely familiar with the franchise

anyway I'm very curious how you developed your style and your inspirations for it, thank you for your hard work!

oh my gosh thank you!

This is the first time someone described my work as elf-like, and somehow I kinda get it? I'm almost certain its the eyes .I've also never played any Zelda games so not that familiar with it either

I think , with the faces in particular, its me going for a mix of semi-realism and a bit of anime kind of style ? trying to lean into the stylized bit (but I think that part is more into the rendering rather than the faces) I used to lean more towards semi-realism (or at least tried to, pretty sure I failed on that part) before just embracing the anime-ish look that I sometimes default to . Before, I used to have a very anime influenced style so I still have a habit of defaulting to that style when I sketch.

My big inspirations are : VALORANT'S WHOLE FRICKING art direction( mainly Suke and Atey Ghailan's works) I love it so much, also a big fan of Nesskain's works on Overwatch(i dont play it I just love his work) , Toni Infante's works and Arcane (because its Arcane) love Spiderverse too but the influence there isnt on the face part haha

its not something I was going for with the style per se, but making a lot of fanart to Apex Legends (which had a semi-realism style with the characters) definitely molded me a bit.

tbh im still figuring out my 'faces' , i still dont know what I really want with it but haha hopefully I'll get there

[hikaaa-bi]

so, the owl house ended a while ago and here's something i've been pondering about. were there any belos followers who refused to change their ideology? in hollow mind, king says something very profound:

"No one wants to think they've wasted their life following the wrong person."

now, according to what we know, luz did get proof that the emperor was a false prophet who was planning on committing genocide, but did everyone else in the boiling isles get to know about this? i don't really remember if the news actually spread. i mean, during the draining spell, most witches were ecstatic and put their full trust in belos.

granted that they started to die because of the spell, the collector saved them almost immediately and then turned them into puppets. there wasn't much time to process everything that happened, or piece together that the emperor was evil and trying to murder them. it could have been a spell gone wrong, for all they know.

and based on real life experiences, we know that people don't just stop following someone they've respected and looked up to their whole life, even if there is solid evidence of said person being bad. there have been a good many instances of people worshipping and following absolutely horrible people of authority, and completely ignoring or justifying whatever atrocities they have committed. the boiling isles may be accepting of most people, but i think there may still be some who believe that belos was doing the right thing.

i'm a big fan of unintentional consequences in media. a supposed happy ending leading to a new problem. two instances of this trope done well is the legend of korra and infinity train (spoilers ahead in case you haven't watched them).

in legend of korra s3, zaheer and the red lotus kill the queen of the earth kingdom, in the name of anarchy and freedom. while it was a good riddance, given that the earth queen was a selfish tyrant, this directly leads to kuvira in s4 turning into another tyrant, because of the chaos zaheer caused.

similarly in infinity train, amelia the false conductor is defeated and she starts to redeem herself after realizing that she can't change the past. but this directly leads to the formation of apex and their rebellion, misdirected by the belief that amelia was the true conductor.

anyway, if the owl house had more seasons, a sequel series, a comic, something of that kind; i wonder if they would explore the aftermath of everything that happened in the finale. would there be belos followers, demanding justice for him? would there be other witches and demons who are questioning their entire lives and identities, struggling to come terms with this new truth? would there be people who would immediately shift to worshipping the new "authority", like lilith did with king? how did the coven heads cope with this?

i think it would be really interesting to focus on.

Digital Media : Sources and Significance

Blog 6 :

Games as a source of transmedia storytelling

Transmedia storytelling basically just narrates story across different platforms using different mediums and these mediums usually shows a unique experience to the story and the lore of the Universe. And now video games have become a huge platform to bring this way of telling stories which really allows the players to be more engaging and give an immersive experience

The halo series has also changed from a video game to a transmedia powerhouse. From novels,comics,audio-plays and even live action television series, Each medium dives into various aspects of the halo universe, offering fans different perspectives and stories to the lore and universe.

Another very good example that I can think of transmedia storytelling in video games is the resident evil franchise. Started of as a survival horror game, it later on expanded into films,novels,and comics and each medium exploring different aspects of the universe. This multi-platform approach really enriches the narrative,creatses a sense of depth which provides the fans with a deeper understanding of the lore and characters.

Also in the gaming world, developers have used transmedia elements directly in the games. For example the game God of war includes a comic that can be accessible to read on the backstories of each character and similarly in apex legends features an in-game comic that expands on character background. These comics and elements really makes the narratives even more immersive and allows players to engage even better with the game.

I think in the end video games really is an amazing platform or medium for transmedia storytelling, which offers an immersive and engaging experiences that really stretches the narratives across various platforms, This approach really brings depth to the narratives but also brings a deeper connection with the audience and the universe or lore created by the developers.

itemization in league feels so fake, your only choices are like 3 boots, 3 sources of anti heal and maybe 8 items tops and none of them feel like they have a material impact on the flow of the game so much as they change the feel of "how fast will i make this guys head explode"

i just don't think there's Real flexibility in that game in terms of feel, everything just feels like a contset to build hte biggest stick to hit somebody with and you can't get an item stun, item silence or item hex and buying actual utility on carries feels So fucking heavy that it makes you basically a wet paper towel character so there's that added deterrent to building to adapt

I watch worlds every year and the pool of champs is like 18 wide, and the build diversity is non-existent because items in league kinda just suck ass sometimes, god it's such a shitty esport despite having a decent structure to follow. I wish it was less like it is because its identity as a moba is honestly just so so so so boring and that's not even getting into that it's one of the only esports with such a comical talent disparity across regional lines that you have to be a fucking NTR connoisseur if you're an unironic NA or EU fan and you delude yourself into thinking you have a chance at winning anything m,ore than 6th place

If I had to say some esports that are decent to watch: rocket league, dota 2, siege, counter strike and apex legends (surprisingly it's very ordered, and interesting)

APOLOGIZE / TASTE OF VALIDATION

[beepyscircus]

Big-ish infodump on Caustic rn because I surprisingly haven’t talked about him surrounding my AU/ kind of rewrite of Apex??

(With some doodles ig)

So this whole thing started out with me just not liking the Medusa arc that much or the mole arc and then I looked into it some more and realized Caustic is horrible representation for ASPD, I’m in no means an expert, but I know being a violent murderer isn’t exactly one of the symptoms 💀

Then I just- hated his relationships throughout the game

So much unnecessary drama between him and the others that could’ve been either avoided or resolved completely, and I’m aware the fact is that it’s drama, but it’s bad drama, imo at least, and I wanted to revamp Crypto and his relationship especially since I’m tired of tropes with transracial siblings not getting along and the fact that many poc, understandably, felt like it was racist, and I’m not even gonna blame them because it feels like that sometimes, I want their relationship to stay complicated but I don’t want them to completely hate each other. I feel like they’d be kind of awkward for the most part I just want the fuckers to be relatively happy and all respawn is doing is making me mildly uncomfortable with every update about them.

Besides that, I’m working on why/how he becomes involved into death and such to even kill people in the first place, but other than that he’s almost completely developed

He’s still killed people he just kind of stopped I have no idea how to explain it rn he is a very complex and weird guy alright-

He still experiments on people, though it’s mostly bodies, kind of like how it’s- I think is hinted at during the mole arc??? I can’t tell what was happening in that comic tbh I just think it’s an interesting idea for him to get his stuff from shady places and shit, I still have to catch up on the older chapters because I joined right in the middle of the shitstorm

I’m also trying to develop his relationship with other legends that isn’t just hatred

For example he’s friends with Wraith kind of, (it gets shaky after his fight with Wattson which still happens because I’m not trying to make him a complete good guy or smthn), Bloodhound, Gibraltar, Fuse, and Mirage. (Pathfinder too but he’s friends with everyone so), he ranges from liking the company of these guys to tolerating them, but it’s never always completely the same, because ya know sometimes friends have bad days and that’s fine. I want it to fluctuate because again I’m not like- trying to make him perfect.

I feel like everyone else is either neutral, indifferent, or just weary of him.

I also redesigned him because erm

It’s fun

I actually took most of his design aspects for my AU from one of his beta designs (I literally tried my best to add the specific one I’m talking about but Tumblr literally kept breaking on me)

Because I think it looks very pretty to me

If you look at some of my older posts of him you can actually see me doing this for a while now

Because I have.

I’ve been working on this for- I wanna say 3 years?? Maybe more idk.

I might post some of my older Caustic character stuff when I was first getting into it but some of it comes off as….uhhhh-

Very biased.

Don’t get me wrong I still am it’s just more apparent in my older stuff, I wanna try getting away from that in my AU because uh I don’t like it so-

Anyway

I like re-writing characters it’s a big hobby of mine when smthn about them irks me personally, you can like canon Caustic btw I do too, this is just smthn I mostly do for fun anyway

Most of the stuff I’ve changed about Caustic have all just been personal headcanons (example being he is a trans man) or things that I felt like would make the story more interesting than what they were initially doing (his dad dying of the same cancer he has), I’m not gonna ramble and put them all here but I’m thinking of making separate posts about them or probably rough comics-

Maybe even fan fictions if I’m feeling brave enough, because I have a few.
