first post on tumblr

coming from exclusively participating in anime style fandoms like hoyoverse and vocaloid to fucking punch-out has got to be the greatest argument for the uncontrollability of my interests. this Godforsaken fandom has got me frequenting reddit. REDDIT!!! D:

to cope with this cognitive dissonance I have curated (drawn) several lab-grown creations (the Wii enemies in the most painfully generic anime style possible) which I will now present to you. please don’t flop or this will be even more embarrassing than it already is.

EDIT: after closer scrutiny I have discovered that I have failed to depict Aran Ryan’s distinctive 5 o’clock shadow, greatly reducing his recognizability. I apologize for this transgression, and also have taken this opportunity to add a more personalized element to his design. ignore how nearly every single other boxer also looks nothing like their in-game appearances.

m becoming obsessed w Slavic memes

[piecanl]

I hear your Fobo cowboys, I see you and I do agree

Howeverrrr what iffffff,,,, Thracian horsemen Fobo... Hear me out

The thracians were vicious warriors to be reckoned with, especially on a horse. They were hunters and specifically fought on horseback. The horse was depicted in a lot of their religious material as a superior animal symbolising power

Now how does this relate to Fobo? Well they're 4 horsemen riding with their small cavalry straight into battle and coming out of every single one victorious. They're also very closely tied belief wise to horses, because of their obsession to breed the fastest, most enduring and most high reaching horse. In a way, the horse is their way to symbolize their power, not only on a physical level, but also on a status level, making a name for themselves with both Islanders (Phil trying the horse out) and the Federation alike

Hey not sure if asks are open. Sorry if they not & I missed it. Just wanna check no pressure

Asks are open for anything except long, proper requests, because my drafts are quite full and I’d rather finish the already-existing requests.

I was planning on emptying my inbox this week, as I’m visiting my relatives back home, but I underestimated how much yapping there is in Balkan families; particularly draining when you’re also ill. So do excuse the scattered posts, lack of comments and unanswered messages. I shall have a better look once I return. :’)

I’ve seen a bunch of people recommending their Finnish music faves in the Käärijä tag and I love love love the interest in listening to music in other languages that comes with Eurovision, so here’s a question for the Balkan people:

Other than Joker Out, what music should we be listening to from the Balkans? What’s happening in the Indie and Rock scene? What are your absolute favourites? Some iconic classics that everyone can sing along to?

Please bless us with some recommendations, I for one would love to listen to some more Slavic music^^

obožavam da se svadjam sa sestrom oko prevodjenja stranih idioma jer s'vremena na vreme znamo da dodjemo do nečega poput "a kako bi posrbila reč gaslight onda?" / "ne znam, gasno me pališ"

Listen. Let me cook. Basta could have Middle Eastern ancestry due to prominent numbers of muslim settlers in southern territory of Italy from the 8th to 13th century. Inkworld is more or less our world but stuck in some weird timeframe of the late Middle Ages/ entering early Renaissance mix up (possibly inspired by the illustrations in the silver book, which is a fairytale) which is when Arabs began making their presence known in Sicily and later elsewhere. Basta's parents could have assimilated or otherwise.

Fair hair and eyes are seemingly the standard in Inkworld (e.g: cosimo, the Piper, Brianna, Capricorn etcBattista's remark about their heroes, and Mo being such a big name despite his outlandishly 'dark as moleskin' hair) Being multiracial or at least different ethnicity is uncommon but not unheard of in Inkworld. Basta's the only one from Inkworld, along with the Prince, to have been tan/or dark-skinned and dark-haired enough to warrant a mention (even though that single tibit of a sentence confirming that was more of an emphasis on Basta's state in the cage). Huge shout-out to that one line in Inkheart where Basta gets so close to Meggie's face she sees her own reflection in his eyes that incited all of this.
