content warning: angst, MCD

this is a redraw of this doodle

extra note:

zoom

anyways this started because someone retweeted the doodle on twitter, I looked at it and went hm I wonder how the current me would draw this, so I did just that

[francy-sketches]

trying to get better at capturing likenesses so heres a quick(ish) alicent portrait study :3

[2isted-chocol8-art]

hii!! Would you be cool with drawing maybe Hatch with Hal teasing eachother? (Hatch teasing about height, half teasing about the nickname?) Or whatever you want really,

Love your art!!!

I like to think about hatchy's childhood and how they probably spent most of their time with Hal- They'd be a double pack! Reminder that my requests are open ::) -> More Outer Wilds Art!

Something something League of Legend

In all seriousness, this was actually such a blast to work on, trying the arcane style has been on my list for a while, and who better to try it with than Legend! I had so much fun with this one, who should I do next?

Timelapse under the cut! Flash warning

There's something so... heart wrenchingly beautiful about Etho's playlist ending with a song called "Happier"

It feels like a "see you later" in weird sort of way? Not an actual ending or goodbye, but rather peace of mind knowing that in the end, perfect or not, everything ends up okay. All the pain and fear he went through was worth it. Because now he truly is "happier". He got his happy.. not ending, but happy life. It's not perfect, it's never going to be perfect, hell it's not even the end of his journey. There is still much more pain, and fear, and love that he has yet to experience, that he will experience because no matter what, he is human in some sense of the word, and that means he will never get an "ending" before the real end.

Yet despite all of that, ending on happier feels like meeting an old friend after growing apart, and finally accepting that it wasn't your fault. Finally getting the closure you needed. Finally being able to forgive and move on, because even if it's not pretty... it's better this way, and the journey is just a painful part of the beautiful destination where he is finally Happier.

FFFFF I'M GOING TO CRY, oh my god, oh my god yes. you get it. it's not an "ending" to his story, but its like a warm embrace and a reminder that all of his hardship has given him the tools to face whatever will come in the future--that's he's more equipped now, with both company and experience, to take whatever life throws at him in stride. Sobs into my hands, thank you this is such a beautiful analysis <3

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

y’all out here saying Izzy’s death made no narrative sense because it’s a comedy show clearly haven’t seen the Shakespeare post…I’m sorry I really am but death immunity only applies to the romantic leads the genre has not changed babes

(I don’t mean this to be patronizing, but genuinely: critically analyzing and engaging with art is a skill, and an important one. it’s a tool that will help you in the real world, for real current events. use this as practice not to take everything at face value. sad art does not equal bad art!)

Ok I can't keep it in my drafts this time. enlighten me if you want; why do people think Diluc is like, a good guy?

Let me be clear, I love Diluc, but I also think he's kind of a shithead. I don't think his actions towards Kaeya can ever be construed as reasonable, his decision to seek vengeance alone irresponsible (even if Kaeya encouraged him), and his vigilantism a product of his paternalistic belief that only he knows what's good for Mondstadt (untrue).

Diluc in the present is the man trying to come back from the bad person he has been. But his solution is to force himself to do a job he never thought he'd have and challenge random Fatui factions to a fight so he can torture them in his basement. I think he has the capacity for good in him, and is trying to change, but I don't see why people think that his actions were all totally a good idea and when we say he's "an uncrowned king of Mond" that's not like, frightening.

the struggle of being obsessed with a minor character from a show is that there’s almost no content but i’m also super excited when i find anything that can add to his lore. matthew brown is in two episodes (barely the first one but still counts). the auxiliary content i have to work with are tucker’s interviews about matthew, his hannibal inspired photoshoot for adon magazine, the making of mukozuke documentary, and bryan fuller’s interviews about the character. i also base a lot of my headcanons on the many amazing brownham fics i’ve read, and other characters that tucker has played that help flesh out matthew’s backstory
