#but you get a bit of a backstory

I carried this thing for MONTHS with the EXPRESS PURPOSE of putting Raphael in it (knowing full well Larian wouldn't let me do that, mechanically) and I had one major miscalculation.

In 2011 I drastically reduced my DWJ book intake to dripfeed levels, so it was only in the 2024 new year that I finally decided to read Deep Secret. My god - out of all her books this seems targeted at me personally? Stressed late-20-somethings, making fools of oneself in vicinity of fav authors, artist alleys?? Also, blatant unmistakable LGBT-rep??? I can't believe I slept on this one for so long!!! Definitely putting it on the upper tiers of my DWJ bookshelf.

Anyway, here's some designs I've whipped up for the characters! As always, might tweak 'em if ever I draw more in the future, but that's what's fun about figuring out character designs. Rob in particular is a joy to me.

btw Zinka plsplspls let me table with you

Honestly despite my feelings about how the last arc of MHA went down I really love Deku and his story.

I just feel like a lot of the time we get these protagonists whose whole philosophy is it doesn’t matter what you were born as everyone can achieve greatness. But then the series goes on and it turns out that actually it DOES matter because the protagonist has this really great lineage and these really great powers you can only have through birth they were actually born born, predestined if you will, to do this.

But MHA actually sticks to its guns. Midoriya wasn’t revealed to have some great connection to all might that the universe had put in place. He wasn’t defended from some great lineage that makes him uniquely suited to this. Hell All for one didn’t even turn out to be his father, there was no hidden powerful quirk he was always meant to have. He was just Midoriya Izuku a boy who was in the right place at the right time and simply decided to act while the world did nothing. And that’s what really made him a hero.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I believe him a bit more when he goes anybody can be a hero if you just decide to act

Guys, please stop making tims character a copy-paste of all his brothers. It's making me very upset. LET EVERYONE HAVE THEIR OWN THINGS, PLEASE. like tim has so much unique lore and qualities, and you're all disregarding it in favour of making him utterly TASTELESS

had a thought after watching Water7&Enies Lobby and wanted to share it with you :)

also on a side note on this hc - I've read that stress-induced graying hair can disappear after the person spends some time in a less stressful environment, so post-ts Robin would have less white hair because she feels safe and at peace with strawhats :) (although "safe" relatively speaking considering the life they lead :"D )

so. i love this line.

but i want to talk about her expressions after gideon asks if she's alright:

i dont know. throughout the first season, elle expresses the strongest negative feelings towards sex offenders (reasonable!) and sure, she came from a unit dealing specifically with that and that's her specialty (remember when all the characters had specific skill sets and specialties?) but especially this reaction here seems very personal. and this is pre-randall garner, so she doesn't yet have that connection to being attacked in her own home.

also. the team knows sexual offense crimes are elle's specialty. they know that's where she came from. but her response to gideon when he asks if she's okay after she goes off on scott isn't "i've seen a lot of this and it gets me riled up" it's to get defensive and evasive. if it was anger born of something the team is aware of, why hide it? her response to gideon and her expression afterwards very much read to me as someone hiding something.

I am loving everyone's enthusiasm for sending me vampires. I've already gotten over 25 submissions if you can believe it, and a lot of those contain multiple Sims. I never expected quite this level of participation, and I hope everyone's having a lot of fun. In the spirit of full disclosure, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make use of all of them, and if I do, I can't give a solid timeline for when. Ultimately, it's all about what's going to best serve my vision for the story. Some of your vampires align better with my plans than others, and I hope that's okay!

I want to encourage everyone to tell their own stories with the amazing vampires they've made because they deserve to live up to their full potential! So, basically, what I'm saying is please don't feel like you have to wait around for me to do something with them. And if you aren't going to play them yourselves, feel free to submit them for other people's challenges/Sim calls too. Your guys' creativity is truly off the charts, and it's an honor to have had a part in inspiring it!

sorry its more HC x FMA AU again

Major Stevens Impulse is basically Pearl's right hand man. He often accompanies Pearl or Gem during field work and sometimes research. He's a skilled marksman and physically stronger than Pearl and Gem (that is, without the use of their alchemy). Pearl and Gem are also notoriously bad at watching their backs, though they joke that it's just to give Impulse something to do.

To be perfectly honest, I only have any real interest in 2 of the Splinter backstories: ROTTMNT & 2003.

ROTTMNT because the concept of "Hamato Yoshi the rebellious young adult fucks off to America and becomes the in-universe equivalent of Jackie Chan" fucks hard. (and also feels like it makes sense for the time period, unlike all the ninja blood feuds of every other iteration)

2003 might make less sense, but I'm gonna be real I still don't care about Hamato Yoshi's backstory. The fact that Splinter, however, back when he was 100% just a normal-ass rat, rode on his shoulder fuckin' EVERYWHERE is absolutely hilarious. Guy was trying to make rats & ninjas the new parrots & pirates. Absolute legend.

As someone who is VERY fascinated with adaptation in film (who spent quuuuuuite some time back in college obsessing over it for assignments) and who adores the graphic novel, my biggest takeaway from Nimona is that it is an EXCELLENT adaptation. Especially considering how much that production went through! Like, all of the changes and things they expanded on made sense for the transition from book to movie. My second takeaway is that I love it <3 Please go watch it I beg of you 🙏

For the Spirits—

Chapter IV: To Be Human.

To feel like crying, but say you're fine

To think you're losing all the time

To never truly know your mind

Just to breathe, and to bleed

Is how to be human

—How To Be Human by Amber Run

.

The Painted Lady hummed, “I was beginning to think you’d pretend I wasn’t here.”

“Are you?” he muttered, leaning over the rail. She tilted her head.

“Am I what?”

Zuko turned to face her.

“Here.”

it’s like. your dad is emotionally abusive. he is angry and judgmental and sees you as an extension of himself. he does not care if you’re bored or upset or unhappy so long as you do what he wants. your mom is emotionally neglectful. she is never there but when she is she’s just out of reach, and if you could just be a little bit better, maybe she would finally be interested. all you want is for someone to care about you, to be proud of you, to see you. they tell you that they’re doing this to make you better, to give you a gift. and when your mother finally gives you that gift, it’s the ability to finally get the emotional fulfillment that you’ve always craved. the only catch is you have to hurt the people you care about to do it.
