#cartoony versions of him cause why not

[itskirtash]

some young lukita

I just finished this studies at the exact time luka entered the game. coincidence? I don't think so

[bunji-enthusiast]

So. Uhm..

Have this small idea that came to me.

Sonic.exe world, with Knuckles(like maybe his soul version or before he gets killed) x reader (who can somewhat be like Sonic.exe? But more ,,, normal? Like. A kind & nice exe who saved him from being killed by Sonic.exe)

But with that, they kinda take his form? But their form looks more cartoony & classic-style. Kinda like a simpler and small form, easy to pick up Knuckles (maybe other survivors?) and run just as fast to a safe place. (kinda inspired by my own sonic.exe OC tbh,, but yeah). (You don't have to, tho! Just thought that this was interesting—!)

Mimicking Friend — Knuckles The Echidna

Note || this is a really neat idea! I hope I read this right. And if this is okay ^^

WC || 568

Sypnosis || If anyone told him beforehand he’d get saved by the one lesser of two evils, he would’ve laughed. Now he’s believing it himself.

He was confused as hell when it all began, the ebony grays and the scarlet red skies. It was all so menacing, but not truly to someone like Knuckles, he wasn’t very put off by any bit of the blood either. Only then he got concerned when he started to learn about Sonic, someone who he recently met. The echidna certainly didn’t expect the blue blur to actually kill his two-tailed fox friend, he thought they were as close as brothers can be. 

Knuckles felt fortunate when he managed to fight off the demon, the bloody hedgehog was a killer but he sure as hell was no fighter. Even then, he knows the killer can and will adapt overtime, especially with all the strange manipulation of reality he can do. When he was sure the damn demon was down for good, he ran as fast as he could. Knuckles certainly wasn’t about to stick around for that possessed hedgehog to actually succeed in killing the echidna, he couldn’t leave the Master Emerald without the guardian. 

When you finally made the decision to make an appearance before Knuckles, he was rather confused. You looked so similar to him, only tinier in size. Yet it was even more surprising when you possessed more strength he realized, carried as if he was a bride just married you ran even further then he possibly could (More so floated, but who cares?). You felt as if you had to keep Knuckles safe and hidden away from the demon, accursed and trickster with a knack for obsessing over things unnecessarily. 

“Who the hell are you?” He finally asked after you had whisked away the two of you to somewhere far and safe away from the bloody hedgehog, Knuckles felt as if he was close to snapping within his emotions. He was confused, mixed up about every recent event which had occurred in mere minutes away from each other. 

Why’d you save him?

Why do you look just like him? 

Many thoughts and questions had run through the echidna’s head, but the one he had uttered was something he found most important. 

You looked down, shifting closer to the ground so you could lay yourself for rest. “Someone who just wanted you to stay alive,” You began, feeling the words finicky to find. “Cause they know what it’s like to fail to do so.” Those words felt wrong, yet so right. You wince internally as you search his face for any hint of a reaction to your words. Knuckles sighed, complacency wasn’t his greatest idea of a deal begotten between him and a stranger who just saved his life.

“I owe you.” He spoke, finally decided to break the awkward silence. Knuckles took a moment of pause, closing his eyes as he crossed his arms. “Thank you, I suppose.”

You interject, “You owe me nothing, but I do owe you something.”

At this, he raises a brow. Eyes opening to reveal magnificent purple hues expressing interest in your next set of words, “You need answers yes? I can provide them.” Knuckles was albeit, relieved he could get them from someone friendlier than most entities right now. He wasn’t in a very grateful mood if he were to search for them himself. 

“Alright then..” The echidna begins, taking a walk towards the distance. 

He then gestures vaguely as he asks, “Who the hell was possessing Sonic?”

CHRIS RANT!!! CHRIS RANT!!!!

I was looking through the designs of Chris in Vendetta (bc i cant stop looking at his face lol) and a question came to mind “Why is his face so different from his version in Resident Evil 8?”

Chris’s face throughout the franchise has been changing constantly, even though we all can agree that his staple look is the one from RE 5. The only time they had diverted from this was in RE7, in which they wanted to make him more “realistic looking” but it ended up looking hideous and it was an absolute flop. (rightfully so cause GOOD GOD WHO IS THAT) Then, in RE8, they tried to go back to the look of RE5 and honestly? It looks hella good. He’s an older Chris, 48, it shows a man who has gone through a lot and it was a sensible decision to do him that way.

However… The animated films approach his design in a different light. In Vendetta, they made his features look a lot softer, his eyes more obviously downturned, and his face a bit more elongated. Some people described this look as “natural” and “less cartoony” than his RE5/6 counterparts. RE7 and Vendetta got released the same year, the prior one in January and the latter in June. They both have been in development at the same time I assume, so why have they decided to do a 360 with his in-game version instead of using his render in the film?

The films have consistency; Vendetta happened a year before Death Island, and Chris looks almost exactly the same but just with better graphics and a couple of more wrinkles and grey hairs.

The animated films are canon, and even though I really like Chris in his RE8 form, I can’t help but wonder why they don’t take the film designs and integrate them into the games even though they’re well received?

Vendetta

Death Island

Village (my boy look like the MOON/jk)

I feel this scene in Hollow Mind kinda made Belos less interesting by making it seem like he literally didn't care at all about Hunter.

as tbh I find it almost a touch disappointing because I feel it maybe does tow the line of making Belos a bit too much of a one note cartoon villain

( I know its somewhat funny me saying that when he literally is a kids cartoon villain but you get what I mean 😅😅)

I don't have a problem with Belos being so evil that he's willing to kill a kid he raised for defying him but I do kinda have a slight problem with him being so quick to do it and pretty much acting a little moustache twirling about it

like personally I do find it more interesting to think he does have a kind of twisted love for the Grimwalkers in a way ( I mean he'd have no real reason to model them after his brother if he didn't care )

so I would have preferred it if that one moment in Hollow Mind had been changed slightly because like I said I just feel it makes Belos a little bit less interesting by having him be so over the top villainous that he'd disregard someone he raised so quickly while practically laughing in their face

like maybe instead he could have actually tried manipulating Hunter back to him telling him that he only did these things for the greater good and that the old Golden Guards all turned to the dark side and made him kill them

and Belos tries to pull on the heartstrings by reminding him of everything he did for him growing up and saying that Hunter wouldn't betray him like al the others did would he? and when Hunter's still visibly hesitant to believe him

Then Belos after at least making some effort to not give up on him finally decides to kill Hunter and the episode plays out the same.

Like I said I just feel this scene of Belos is a little disappointing because it does make it seem like Belos literally doesn't give a crap about Hunter or any of the Grimwalkers

and that just makes him less interesting imo plus it kinda contradicts the whole point of him making them since the only logical reason he kept making clones of his Brother

is because he does care in a very twisted way hence why he kept trying to recreate his brother albeit a version of him that wouldn't betray him and his cause.

but having him so casually disregard Hunter with literally no care and without even trying to prevent his demise just seemed well cartoony for lack of a better word imo.

Seren's Studies: Odd Squad UK -- "A Dicey Situation" Episode Followup, Part 2

Captain O origin story continues, below the break!

Okay...this whole dice randomization thing is clever. Hate to do it, but I have to award another point to Tasha.

Yeah...yeah...he would have a dance to resemble a tragedy, bless him.

...No.

I would have been happier if they dropped a year. No thinking about the timeline. Drop a year and run.

On trillions of levels. No.

Instead they didn't, and I'm left with whatever assfuck shit this thing is that's supposed to be an old-timey version of a smartwatch but is not.

I do, however, appreciate the dice math lesson. That's pretty unique. Another point to Tasha.

...No, actually, subtract one for this completely arbitrary guessing and the contrived shit that will make one of their guesses right.

Considering they're partners in the same way Iroha tells Satoru that she feels "a special kind of wonderful" when she's with him in Precure, this is cute.

"We are so in sync!"

Man, Tasha's just getting all the ambiguously LGBTQ+ people in this series, huh?

You see that ship in the front?

AND NOW IT'S DRIED UP SO NOW WHAT. NOW WHAT???

That's what I thought Captain O's ship was gonna be. Had it spinning in my head and everything.

Okay, we get it, Orli and Ozzie are here, they are listening, please move on.

You...I mean...you haven't beaten them before? With your dice rolls?

Lmao okay sure.

Okay, I honestly have no idea why Osgood has a phone too, but it's bugging the absolute hell out of me because he's clearly on the line with Dottie but she's only on the line with Captain O.

Make it make fucking sense.

You roll your eyes, but there are hundreds of islands out there, so even though she just revealed her own weakness, this logic actually makes sense.

Love the chickenpox, hate the psoriasis.

Brought to you by Lilly Pharmaceuticals.

Oh this is bad news to drop on people who are trying to catch a villain. Fucking timing, my guy.

11 fucking minutes and Tasha can't even give a fucking reason why Captain O has to transfer to begin with?

B- h- why though. Why though.

Unless this is gonna get answered at some point during the finale, this is extremely disappointing. And even if it was, here the Admiral could have just said "an...incident has come up" or some other vague reason, and just left it at that to perpetuate the mystery.

Got the cartoony faces, but with all the charm of Ohlm.

And we all know how Ohlm turned out.

*long deep sigh* God save me.

THEY BROUGHT BACK THE TIME CARD??? FOR THIS?!?!?!?!?!

No...no...I fucking can't. Let me remind you that the one time a kraken was ever featured in this franchise, it was so horrifying that it wasn't even allowed to be shown onscreen and scared the hell out of everyone, Oprah included.

I'M SORRY???????

If I extended my middle fingers any more, I'd have to get the doctors to pop 'em back in.

To hear that this bitch can just summon krakens to attack literal children -- which, you know, can eat said children -- is so stupid and so out-there and so continuity-breaking that I am revoking every point Tasha has ever accrued and sending her to Seren Hell, where Odd Squad episodes are played on an endless loop and all there is for food and water are rice cakes and lava.

Make it make sense or I will bring my ass to wherever and make it make fucking sense myself.

And then it ate her, right?

A-and then it ate her, right.

'Cause that's what krakens do.

...SAY IT, TASHA. FUCKING SAY IT YOU COWARD.

(Also, Captain O wears pants here but switches to a skirt when she transfers. It's a nice touch, but I'd prefer if she kept the pants.)

...WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DIDN'T EAT HER???????? FUCK YOU TOO!!!

Okay, for the sake of my sanity, I'm deducing that this is Odd Squad poker and this will never, in my lifetime, be up for debate.

"this is why you'll always be my first best mate"

he is literally in a position lower than her in the hierarchy

I'm sorry, was "second-in-command" not anything tossed around in the writers' room or??? Because that would have made this precinct a lot better.

It is always this same dumbass dance move and I hate it. I like the party in "Box Trot". Draw stuff from there.

And your credits for this episode. Octo is not listed in here, for some reason -- probably because he has miniscule speaking lines.

-------------------------------------------

Overall...this was one big pile of ough. Better than "The Triangle Sisters", but not by very much. Other origin stories -- "Weight of the World", "Totally Odd Squad" -- were much better, but "Mission O Possible" still ranks as the worst of the worst for me. This one is not nearly as bad.

Methinks Tasha needs to do a little more work before returning to the franchise, because both of her episodes were swings and misses in more ways than one. It is a good concept with a good math lesson and a good villain, but it needs to be fleshed out and freshened up a little more.

Next time will be "Lift Off", or the biggest cultural clash of the entire damn series/season. If there's a popstar clam...I wonder if we'll get a song? Food for thought.

Seren out!

（Past designs）

(New designs)

There is no other way to express how much I love sanders sides! I am thankful for it's amazing characters, the lore, the attention and care Thomas and his friends put into making these episodes I can't thank them enough for making this show. Sure I have some criticism of my own but it's nothing serious and I can always go to make my own au or read some fanfics abt the sanders sides!

This series helped me a lot during summer vacation and it made me not to lose hope in my life, one of my favorite episodes is a date with disaster, which really got me into being more productive in my life. Plus we got more Logan screen time! it made me love both Logan and Remus. Remus especially was difficult cause he embodies what I hate and fear but I don't have to like him because of his actions but because of how hilarious he is as a cartoony villain and still be threatning.

I love the other characters too! like Janus who is my absolute favorite cause to me he is really well written. He is kind of an antihero imop and he really does care for Thomas. Patton is a fatherly figure who can be a man child but can be smart when he wants to be, and that makes me love him even more. Virgl is reletable as heck! and I definetly ship him with Roman, it's my first ship and I will cherish it until I die😀 Roman is also enjoyable but I still need to get used to his ego first. That's why I'm gonna rewatch some older episodes again lmao😂

Sorry for the rambling but really got hooked on the series and I really enjoyed making the gl2 versions of the main cast! I'll talk abt the designs tomorrow and I can't wait for the season 2 finale!! no pressure but seriously excited! ofc take care of yourself though Thomas you and your friends deserve it.

And uhh question for the sanders sides fandom. What's the fandom like?? just curious..

[genericartist27]

So I just thought I’d share some notes for my Curse ideas for Sir Pentious, I was gonna make this into a video but when I was writing the script I realised how cringe it would probably be since I’ve never wrote a script before, not to mention I hate how my voice sounds, so I might hold back on making it a video until I become more confident with my voice. So I’ve decided to share the notes I had so I can still get my ideas out there because it’s gonna bother me until I get all these ideas out into the world because I think I have an over sharing problem. Also I wrote these in the incorrect order (Split Personality, Jekyll and Hyde, Amnesia, Vampire, Zombie and then Wereserpent), you’re going to see fluctuating quality as I finished the last of these at like 11/12 O’clock at night and I needed to go to sleep. Essentially this post is proof that I both have thought too much about this snake, and he is my favourite character. That’s Autism and Depression for you. Also sorry some of these notes are bare bones I didn’t plan for them to be shown and I can’t be bothered to edit them.

DID (Realistic) - from AJTheWildWolf, she originally had the Egg Bois be Sir Pentious’ son who had DID in life and split into multiple Egg Bois after going to Hell. My brain came up with the idea of Sir Pentious being the one with DID in life and the Egg Bois being his alters in life, and the Egg Bois could possess him through a hole in his back (maybe I could make him look more mechanical as a result). Maybe he could have Amnesia about his life on Earth because the Egg Bois could have those memories stored in them. Each Egg Boi when possessing could be an exaggerated version of how his alters were in life. Sir Pentious could be the main alter and stay how he is in the show, one of the Egg Bois could be a cartoony super villain, representing the alter that was super annoying and constantly wanted attention from everyone, another one could be a cartoony superhero, representing the alter that protected him from harm, another one could be the one that went through the trauma that caused his DID (I’m thinking I’d probably make it flirty, since DID is sadly most commonly developed because of extreme CSA), and finally maybe he could have a final Egg Boi that acts like an innocent child, because that’s a common alter people with DID have. His mistreatment of the Egg Bois could be symbolic of how he hated himself and his “Demonic Possessions” (Victorian term for DID) in life. His arc could be about accepting the Egg Bois as a part of him and working together with them as a ‘system’ instead of trying to get rid of them, and the Egg Bois could have an arc of overcoming their trauma and working with their boss.

Pros:

I could be cute if at first he went by He/Him pronouns, but when he starts to accept the Egg Bois as a part of him he could start going by He/They pronouns which would be adorable.

He could bond with Angel Dust and their similar trauma of being SA’d which would probably be a better parallel than Husk and Angel Dust, but since I’ve kind of got rid of that from Angel Dust’s character this positives kind of moot.

It could lead to both funny and uncomfortable moments.

It could be some nice DID representation, I guess.

Cons:

DID is a very depressing subject. Not a negative but something to keep in mind.

It might not be that good to have take a character who’s went through some of the most fucked up shit a character can go through and then proceed to poke him with a stick a go ‘Go on Redeem Yourself’, it’s also going to hard to actually redeem a character who’s went through so much shit without it coming across as victim blaming, kind of why I got rid of Angel Dust’s SA, so I could focus on redeem without a big elephant in the room.

DID can be a complicated topic to portray, and if I’m not careful it could result in harmful stereotypes or bad representation.

Since my Sir Pentious redesign was so similar to hers, I didn’t want to basically rip her off so yeah I scrapped it.

Split Personality (Jekyll and Hyde Version) - I came up with a version of the whole Split Personality thing were instead of him having DID in life, he had an alter ego in life that he used to murder people, but when he went to Hell his curse gave him a Split Personality. At first they were still the same person, but as time went on, his two selves began to separate. To the point where Sir Pentious now considers himself two separate beings. His main pathetic, cowardly self that regrets his actions in life and seeks redemption, and his murderous, spiteful alter ego that hates his main self’s regret and abandonment of his murderous ways, maybe resulting in the alter killing everyone that gets close to Sir Pentious, ensuring that Sir Pentious only has him to talk to, hoping that he’d be able to convince him to indulge in his murderous ways again. As a result Sir Pentious would still be extremely lonely but scared of getting close to anyone because of the risk of his Alter Ego killing them, developing his whole ‘Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain’ mask to cope with both the loneliness and maybe the pain of keeping his Alter Ego from gaining control and murdering anyone. When he goes to the Hotel, maybe he and his Alter Ego could make a deal that Sir Pentious could let his Alter Ego roam Hell and murder at night as long as he doesn’t murder anyone in the Hotel. The Alter Ego agrees to it and therefore gets to have his fun at night while Sir Pentious gets the relief that his Alter Ego won’t kill anyone in the Hotel, meaning that he finally feels safe making friends and not having the pain of having to constantly keep his Alter Ego from gaining control. However, suddenly one of the Hotel’s residents (maybe Angel Dust and Alastor or maybe Cherri Bomb) stays outside past dark, and as a result meeting Sir Pentious’ Alter Ego in disguise, and that could result in a fight between them, nearly resulting in the death of the Hotel’s patron the Alter Ego’s fighting, only narrowingly escaping him. Next day, Sir Pentious could remember what his Alter Ego nearly did, he goes into a panic and confronts his Alter Ego about what happened, reminding him of the deal. The Alter Ego could say that Sir Pentious only told him not to kill anyone IN the Hotel, meaning that they are fair game as long as they’re out of the Hotel, and the Alter Ego could reveal that he only listened to Sir Pentious at first so that he’d let his guard down and make friends with the other Hotel’s residents, and was waiting for a perfect loophole to exploit and murder the Hotel’s residents, and hopefully being able to use it to finally get Sir Pentious to succumb to his murderous intents and them finally becoming one again, like they were in life. Sir Pentious warns his Alter Ego that he could easily and quickly end their deal and shut him away, but his Alter Ego refutes that Sir Pentious can barely keep him contained when he’s alone and friendless, let alone when he’s surrounded by people who he considers his friends. The rest of the show would be about him trying to confront and redeem his sins while struggling to control his Alter Ego, who would constantly overpower him and both destroy his progress, while also trying to keep it a secret from the rest of the Gang, which his Alter Ego makes hard by trying to kill them. Eventually, the rest of the gang would find out and help him out in his Alter Ego, resulting in him winning the battle and finally being able to redeem himself and go into Heaven.

Pros:

Would provide some great angst (and fan works who could probably do a better job at writing this than me).

I’ve been listening to Jekyll and Hyde the Musical too much, so it’s a good way to put it to use.

Jekyll and Hyde is one of my favourite stories.

It could result in some great emotionally powered songs.

Nice juicy mystery and nice juicy tragedy.

I get to have both the regretful, self loathing repenter who feels like he deserves his fate in Hell, and the spiteful, murderous arsehole who just wants to continue murdering in Hell. Engaging in a fight for control, which would be awesome.

Painful Transformations/Characters constantly having to control a Beast Within to prevent hurting people are cool.

It could give a great dynamic with Alastor since they both murdered people in life, and be a great contrast to their first interaction.

I love the concept of Alex Brightman using his BeetleJuice/Adam/Fizz voice for his Alter Ego and his Sir Pentious voice for Sir Pentious, it would kind of be hilarious. Also the concept of a ‘Confrontation’-esque song but with Alex Brightman using his Adam voice for Sir Pentious’ Alter Ego (Hyde) and using his Sir Pentious voice for Sir Pentious (Jekyll) is awesome.

Baxter, maybe he could be the only friend that his Alter Ego didn’t get to kill, but Baxter left Sir Pentious after nearly being killed by his Alter Ego. Baxter could come to the Hotel and therefore ‘reunite’ with Sir Pentious. Maybe Baxter could then reluctantly help Sir Pentious out with keeping his Alter Ego a secret. Which could lead to the gang finding out.

Guitar solo Fuck Yeah! (Aka they could just take Sir Pentious’ theme and just add guitars, kinda like Jekyll and Hyde Resurrection)

Maybe there could be an episode where the gang decide to put on a play about Jekyll and Hyde so the gang could relax a bit after maybe a lot of Redemption work, or maybe as a celebration of Angel Dust finally breaking his contract with Valentino and becoming free from Val’s grasp, and this could be the story he chooses for the play, with himself as Simon Stride or another character who dies and Sir Pentious as Jekyll and Hyde, who’s mental state has at this time in the story gone into a downward spiral while trying to keep his Alter Ego in check and keeping him a secret from the rest of the gang. Resulting in him painfully transforming into his Alter Ego on stage, luckily lining up with Jekyll’s transformation into Hyde in the play. Meaning, that at first the gang just thinking it was really good acting, however maybe some of the gang could sense something’s off. (For example an exchange like, “Wow! His acting was so good!” “Yeah, too good…”) However, instead of Angel Dust coming on stage to play the character, Val hijacks his role and comes on stage instead, resulting in everyone’s (aside from Sir Pentious’) disgusted faces and maybe have Alastor pass Niffty an Angelic Knife as a fun side joke. Val could usher Sir Pentious to stab him, thinking it will only be a normal knife or even fake one, only for him to get repeatedly stabbed by an Angelic Knife, which the gang didn’t give Sir Pentious. At first the gang just stand there, since they obviously dislike Val, with Baxter looking with an ‘Oh No’ expression. Maybe Angel could come rushing him explaining that Val hijacked his role, only to see Val getting stabbed and reacting with an expression of joy. One of the gang members could try and stop Sir Pentious, saying that Val’s already dead, only to be stabbed by Sir Pentious. This would cause the gang to realise that something has taken over him. After a quick battle and some taunting from Sir Pentious’ Alter Ego, he would escape and leave the gang dumbfounded on what happened, meaning Baxter would have to reluctantly give them the exposition needed to understand what happened, giving them the tools to help Sir Pentious out in his mental battle. The only negative with this funny and cathartic episode plot, is the fact it would mean that Angel Dust wouldn’t get to murder his own boss, which probably wouldn’t be the best for story, however, he did get to break free from Valentino and begin his process of healing so at least he would have that. Also it would be funny that Vox underestimates Sir Pentious and calls him useless, only for that same snake to be the one to kill his boyfriend. 

Maybe one the characters had a person close to them get killed by Sir Pentious’ Alter Ego. Which could lead to interesting conflict when they find out.

Cons:

I can’t think of many, maybe it could lead to some dumb moments with the characters going out at night despite knowing that they could easily die by Sir Pentious’ Alter Ego’s hands and how distraught Sir Pentious would be if he did kill them, but that could be avoided by multiple drafts and good writing. I need to go to bed.

I guess if not handled carefully it could be seen as a harmful DID stereotype, but I feel like I’d make sure to make it very clear that his condition isn’t actually DID, since he didn’t have DID in life. I could also add a character that has an accurate depiction of DID and show how harmless the character is compared to Sir Pentious, it could also lead to an interesting dynamic between them. Also it’s very fantastical so that would hopefully help with the suspension of belief.

Also if I’m not careful he could take up the majority of the show’s runtime and just have everyone obsessing over him, which wouldn’t be good storytelling.

I don’t know how I’d write SirDust but maybe that’s for the best since I suck at writing romance (INSERT AROACE FLAG).

WereSerpent/Full Demon Form - This was my second/third curse I came up with for him, and was in my original rewrite summary. When he first arrives at the Hotel, the gang could start to notice that he’s out most nights and seems to not have a Full Demon Form. Then some of the gang could go out searching for a demon and stumble across his Full Demon Form and start to fight it. Maybe one of the gang accidentally sees him transform out of it, meaning that Sir Pentious has to explain he’s a ‘WereSerpent’ that transform almost every night (it used to be only the Full Moon but it’s grown to almost every night), but Baxter could reveal that actually his Full Demon Form, that his curse makes uncontrollable and slowly consumes him. Baxter promises not to tell anyone, but then the gang get trapped with it and are forced to fight, which results in Sir Pentious’ secret getting revealed to the whole gang. His redemption would involve him trying to gain control of his Full Demon Form, which he succeeds at. 

Pros:

Can be a physical way of gauging his progress in his redemption and could result in a cool scene where in the final battle he sees on of his friends in danger and that could trigger something and result in him transforming into his Full Demon Form and therefore finally being able to control his Full Demon Form and thus completing his redemption.

Painful transformations are cool.

Could lead to some funny moments where people don’t realise it’s him since his curse would prevent people from recognising him unless they either see him transform into or out of his Full Demon Form, and when they find out they just start questioning how it took them so long to realise that.

Twilight memes.

Could give him an interesting dynamic with one of the characters that I might make a monster hunter (either Cherri Bomb or Niffty).

Cons:

Boring as fuck.

His Full Demon Form wouldn’t be that dangerous, since it couldn’t really kill anyone. So it would make no sense why Sir Pentious would see himself as dangerous and not want people near him, since all they’re risking is having to respawn.

Used to be connected to his Envy but not really anymore, since he’s Wrath now instead of Envy.

Amnesia (Jekyll and Hyde bits sprinkled in) - Amnesia is basically just the Split Personality but with extra steps, it was first conceived in August of 2024. He would fall down to Hell with no recollection of who he was in life, panicking him at first, leading him to craft the ‘Saturday Morning Cartoon Villain’ mask for himself to hide it. The only thing that he could remember from his past is a recurring nightmare that he has where he witnesses a person get murdered, but is unable to do anything. He could join the Hotel in the hopes that the Hotel could help regain the memories of life and finally find out what got him into Hell. However, the only progress he makes in that quest is being able to interact with the dream, and finally being able to confront the man who murdered the person, but before he can see the person’s face he wakes up in a jolt. It would soon be revealed to everyone that he only joined the Hotel to try and find out who he was in life. Some of the residents, (specifically Alastor) would probably be pissed at this, since it kind of throws a wrench into his redemption plan, since he can’t exactly confront and repent his sins if he can’t even remember them. As a result, the gang could focus on getting a special macguffin in order to cure his amnesia, which they succeed. It would then be revealed that he was in fact the murderer from his dreams, and he was a murderer in life. This results in Sir Pentious having a bit of a mental breakdown, constant nightmares, terror from his actions, continually fighting a new voice in his brain that tempts him to go back to his own ways, all collimating in his mind splitting into two. His new kinder side that spawned from his days in Hell and time at the Hotel, and his old murderous side that wants him to go back to his murderous ways. His arc would essentially be him fighting himself like with the Split Personality and him winning and deciding not to let his older self define him and truly become a new and better person.

Pros:

Would be a neat mystery for a while.

Alastor’s reaction to it would be priceless.

Cons:

Just an inferior version of the whole Split Personality Jekyll and Hyde thing, just without the juicy bits that made it so good.

I feel like the amnesia works better for other characters.

Why wouldn’t Belphegor tell Emily what one of her patrons did to get into Hell, not to mention that one Patron is a FUCKING MURDERER? Like if Alastor had amnesia it would be fine because he’s just an investor, but when it’s one of her patrons, whose redemption is the thing that decides if Heaven will exterminate Hell or not. It makes no sense, chief. I guess maybe they could have sensed that Sir Pentious would have a mental breakdown, but the whole point of their character is supposed to be being unempathetic so it makes no sense why they’d just suddenly gain empathy for the plot, I know unempathetic people in real life can have moments of empathy, but for this character it makes no sense.

Vampire - I came up with this idea one day since I loved vampires and I thought it would be a good idea. At first he’d seem fine, but over time the gang would realise something was off about him. Like him seeming Squeamish around blood or covering his mouth when blood is around. Maybe instead of him having no reflection, his reflection was instead his human form. He seems to be unable to come near crosses or Bibles, and most weird of all he won’t eat anything despite being visibly hungry. Constantly drooling, gulping hungrily and his stomach growling constantly. Maybe there’s a moment where it becomes too much for him, he retreats to his room and just collapses, unable to take the hunger anymore and loses complete control of himself. That night one of the gang hears hissing in another room, they go to check only to find Sir Pentious in the process of drinking someone’s blood. They are able to snap him out of his hunger fuelled trance, and he realises that he nearly just killed one of the residents of the Hotel and is distraught by it. Sir Pentious could then confide with the person that snapped him out of his trance and tell them about being a vampire, and would tell them not to tell anyone about it, since the other times he told friends about his curse did not go well. The person promises not to tell but that promise could lead to a moment where someone accidentally gets cut and starts bleeding, and Sir Pentious’ hunger overcomes him again, and the person who kept the secret has to protect the one bleeding from him, getting injured in the process. This could cause Sir Pentious to run away since he believes he’s too dangerous, however he’d be convinced back into the Hotel and his arc would involve trying to keep his vampirism under check, which after many failures, he succeeds at.

Pros:

Vampires are hot.

Use hypnosis like cobras.

Self loathing

Horror Hunger is interesting.

Twilight memes.

Could lead to him getting revenge on his horrid boss in life being his first victim, and the thing that makes him realise he’s a vampire.

Victorians were obsessed with vampires.

Could serve as a good explanation for why he’s lonely and feels he’s dangerous, he kept killing everyone that he got close to when he was desperately hungry. 

Could give him an interesting dynamic with one of the characters that I might make a monster hunter (either Cherri Bomb or Niffty), and also if it’s Cherri Bomb maybe she was addicted to drugs when she was alive so she could relate to how it feels to be addicted to something.

Could be a funny allegory for his bisexuality / homosexuality.

Could be a fun way of referencing his religious trauma (imagine him getting a bible chucked in this face).

Could give SirDust some spice and drama.

It would fit his backstory of being working class, barely being able to scrap by and therefore being constantly hungry.

Baxter, maybe he could be the only friend that his vampirism didn’t get to kill, but Baxter left Sir Pentious after nearly being killed by his vampirism. Baxter could come to the Hotel and therefore ‘reunite’ with Sir Pentious. Maybe Baxter could then reluctantly help Sir Pentious out with keeping his vampirism a secret. Which could lead to the gang finding out.

Cons:

Fan fiction esque self loathing could occur if not done properly.

There’s a lot of hoops to jump through to make it make sense (why didn’t he just kill criminals, why didn’t he just go to the Gluttony ring, etc).

Everyone would be obsessing over him knowing me TBH.

It’s far too easy to Woobify him.

Writer’s barely disguised excuse for ridiculous amounts of sadistic torture porn, not intentionally but still.

While the other curses are technically torture porn, people who aren’t into torture porn can still enjoy the interesting character conflict that arise from each of the curses, but it feels like the only ones who could enjoy this curse are sadistic fucks who love to see their favourite characters suffer, everyone else is just going to be uncomfortable and feel like the torture porn is sidelining Sir Pentious’ story and redemption. Vampire Au is probably gonna have to stay as fan fiction. 

Zombie - Basically the same as Vampires, so much so I’m copy pasting it here as well while changing a few things. At first he’d seem fine, but over time the gang would realise something was off about him. Like him seeming Squeamish around blood or covering his mouth when blood and dead bodies are around. He could also start ‘collecting’ dead bodies, which he could explain as being for his ‘Experiments’ and most weird of all he won’t eat anything despite being visibly hungry. Constantly drooling, gulping hungrily and his stomach growling constantly. Maybe there’s a moment where we see him asking one of the Egg Bois to do something, we’d only get to hear bits of it so it stirs up interest in the audience. That night, we see him revealing a corpse from that day. He could at first think he’s going to Experiment on the corpse like we’ve been hearing up till this point, until he suddenly starts tearing the corpse apart and devouring the remains, seemingly losing complete control over himself for a moment, before regaining control, looking around with an embarrassed look, and cleaning up the mess and hiding the rest of the corpse. After this reveal, Sir Pentious could be disgusted at how out of control he was and his arc is him at first going full cold turkey, while also keeping it a secret from the rest of the gang, however it backfires someone accidentally gets cut and starts bleeding, and Sir Pentious’ hunger overcomes him and as a result he painfully transforms into his Full Demon Form and attacking the gang. This could cause Sir Pentious to run away since he believes he’s too dangerous, however he’d be convinced back into the Hotel and his arc would involve trying to keep his zombism under check, which after many failures, he succeeds at.

Pros:

Self loathing.

Could lead to some horrifying imagery and descriptions.

Painful transformation of WereSerpent and Horror Hunger of Vampires.

Could lead to him getting revenge on his horrid boss in life being his first victim, and the thing that makes him realise he’s a zombie.

Could serve as a good explanation for why he’s lonely and feels he’s dangerous, he kept killing everyone that he got close to when he was desperately hungry.

Could give him an interesting dynamic with one of the characters that I might make a monster hunter (either Cherri Bomb or Niffty), and also if it’s Cherri Bomb maybe she was addicted to drugs when she was alive so she could relate to how it feels to be addicted to something.

Could be a funny allegory for his bisexuality / homosexuality.

Could give SirDust some spice and drama.

It would fit his backstory of being working class, barely being able to scrap by and therefore being constantly hungry.

Baxter, maybe he could be the only friend that his zombism didn’t get to kill, but Baxter left Sir Pentious after nearly being killed by his zombism. Baxter could come to the Hotel and therefore ‘reunite’ with Sir Pentious. Maybe Baxter could then reluctantly help Sir Pentious out with keeping his zombism a secret. Which could lead to the gang finding out.

Cons:

There’s a lot of hoops to jump through to make it make sense (why didn’t he just kill criminals, why didn’t he just go to the Gluttony ring, etc).

Kind of useless.

Everyone would obsess over him knowing me TBH.

Fan fiction esque self-loathing if not written carefully.

Victorians were not really into Zombies to my knowledge (I know Frankenstein’s a thing but that doesn’t really count.

It’s far too easy to Woobify him.

Writer’s barely disguised excuse for ridiculous amounts of torture porn, not intentionally but still.

While the other curses are technically torture porn, people who aren’t into torture porn can still enjoy the interesting character conflict that arise from each of the curses, but it feels like the only ones who could enjoy this curse are sadistic fucks who love to see their favourite characters suffer, everyone else is just going to be uncomfortable and feel like the torture porn is sidelining Sir Pentious’ story and redemption. Zombie Au is probably gonna have to stay as fan fiction.

I made a few edits, but overall these are the broad notes for all of them. There’s probably stuff I forgot but I’ll just edit them in as I think of them. In terms of my favourites, it’s got to be either the Jekyll and Hyde curse or the Vampire Curse. However, I’m going to admit the Jekyll and Hyde one would probably be better from a writing standpoint, also I’m obsessed with the Jekyll and Hyde musical so… Hopefully my depression doesn’t make me come up with another idea for him because he has far too many and I’m struggling to what to do with Cherri Bomb and Niffty, since I want to redeem them but I don’t know what struggle to give Cherri Bomb without it coming across as a cringe edginess fest and I don’t know what Arc to give Niffty while keeping her fun personality. It sucks. Anyway I have to go and do other things.

👾💛Alter Error Legacy Headcanons Thread💙👾

New headcanons for this weird, but sweet digital boy!

• Alter! owns a Nintendo 3DS. He absolutely LOVES to play Nintendog! He even has a bag filled with several types of games & stylus.

• He make flipnote hatena animations in his own time. He also draws on his sketchbook too, and much like Colette, he's hostile when people try to touch or see any artwork he makes.

• If he find out that the DS lines has been discontinued and stores are closed down, he'll cry. Like badly. Speaking of which-

• Alter! would make the most beautiful, graceful cries with crystal clear teardrops, but also the ugliest soppy, nose running cries imaginable.

• He ADORE Pangyo. He loves the little cartoony panda guy. He even carries him around like a teddy bear and hugs him. (Even make ugly sobbing noises over how cute he is)

• As stated before, he read manga. He even formed a little manga club with fallen & Pangyo. (Please excuse fallen. He doesn't know & wants to read books, okay?)

• He would play beauty idol: fashion queen on his mobile phone.

• he played some old app games that were once available only to get removed later on. He still has that wallpaper he downloaded from the MLP puzzle game on his mobile phone. (It's an Equestria girl rainbow dash but as an anime girl for a wallpaper.) He also played cat simulator as well!

• He would eat those sonic the hedgehog popsicle

• "Do you like waffles? Yeah we like waffles!..."

• He loves fashion game. He has some on both his ds & phone where he can spend hours customizing his character.

• Of course, he plays visual novel game as well. So when he found out about the existence of Imagine: make up artist, he fell in love with it despite how short the game is!

• Probably actually own a newgrounds account.

• Has a oversized sanrio plushie somewhere in his digital realm. (He uses it like a bed and sleeps on it)

• He listen to Nightcore alongside eurobeat.

• He actually likes to annoy Og legacy. He's very aware of the fact he hates him but playfully messes with him by making him cringe.

• Legacy would've gotten a badass cyber criminal version of himself with good confidence & charisma like his siblings, but y'know- some setbacks were made and he ended up getting the one he has right now.

• Alter! doesn't know much about the real world. Hint why he ended up doing something that labeled him as a criminal without him knowing or intended to. The worst crime he can commit is vandalizing. But other than that, he doesn't really mean any harm.

• to make up for the stuff he "borrowed", he leaves behind an apology note with a sad face as stated before. But he would also leave behind small money (the most he can leaves is $3). Weirdly enough, despite having some cash carried around, he doesn't know what a "dollar" is. Let alone coins. (He refer the penny as "nice shining brown thing" since he doesn't know what they're called but he thought it looks nice... Poor guy.)

• Maybe a non-canon hc, but there was a time where Alter! attempted to recolor Pro-Controller Legacy into a princess peach themed cause he thinks it would be cute and Pro got mad at him over it. (He even once tried to decorate him with stickers & glitter much. Alter! Ended up running toward og Legacy and hid behind him while Pro continued to chase after him.)

• He secretly drew his own ponysona and played Pony creator on a website. (He absolutely tries to hide this from the other legacies. He'll die of embarrassment if they find out. Btw, his ponysona is an alicorn!)

• He's a pokemon guy. His team would be filled with Ghost & electric type. (His two main companions there is rotom & Pikachu. He also has a Gengar in his team!)

• SLUMBER PARTY!!!! Alter! would be super ecstatic to throw a slumber party with the other legacies. The one he often gets is Pangyo, Fallen, & Pro Controller Legacy. He has to really convince the other to join in on the fun. (He's the one that brings snacks & drinks to the party. They also ordered pizza there too. Og legacy got pissed when they made the mess in his room.)

• He plays super smash bro with Pro controller. (He main Sora, pikachu, and sonic. Meanwhile Pro main Terry & ryu)

• Him alongside the three other legacies goes out on a boy night.

• Him and Pro controller are somewhat friends! Despite Pro literally being a recolor version of Legacy & having the exact same personality, he's slightly okay with Alter Error. Mostly because they play games with each other. They're only friends cause of that.

Transformers Prime: Toonsanity

Yes, I'm going back to the Weretoons with Transformers idea well specifically the Prime version. Rescue Bots will have it's respective post so don't you worry! Let's get started.

Miko lives in Jasper with her Weretoon foster father instead of canon's host family. She is already Jack and Raf's friend but they don't know about her Weretoon nature. A common rule that's not just for the safety of other Weres but people close to them. Every werecreature has a respective hunter and those for Weretoons are extremely dangerous to put it simply.

The two boys would've been left unaware if wasn't for the fateful encounter with the Autobots. (Miko is still a chaos agent and being a Weretoon just amps it up.) It doesn't really take long for everyone to find out either.

Weretoons tend to carry a small bottle of ink on them as it triggers the Toon transformation instantly. An emergency tool to be precise. What better time to use it than on a hostile alien spaceship full of trigger happy robots?

Like any other Toon, Miko has a hammer space with her preferred cartoony weapon being a giant mallet. Jack pretty much felt like he was going insane at this upon seeing his friend flatten a Vehicon into a metal pancake. Raf is taking it a bit better than him. The bots however...

Ratchet: What in the pits is this?!!! *Points at Toon!Miko*

Miko: *eating a carrot she pulled from her hammerspace* What's up, Doc? Never met a Weretoon before? Congrats on being not only the first non-Weretoon aligned doctor but the first 'normal' doctor I done this joke with!

Jack: *notices everyone staring at him* Hey, don't look at me! I didn't know about this until now!

Ratchet obviously grilled Miko for answers as he barely knows how to treat humans! Now he has to worry about an unknown subspecies getting injured or ill. Miko explaining the whole 'Weretoons' thing so nonchalantly didn't help either. (Optimus wrote everything in stride as the unknown reawakens the archivist within.)

Ratchet shuddered knowing others can be infected and rather not find out if Cybertronians are susceptible. (They are Ratty. It's another reason why Miko wears a mouth guard. A simple bite with their actual teeth is all a Weretoon needs to turn someone even if they don't penetrate skin or metal.)

No one purposely tries to test Miko's squash and stretch capabilities whenever she's in toon form. Doesn't stop a cartoony shenanigan from occuring. Or the fact every single bot on the team has fallen for the inherent gag trying to get Miko outta harm's way like in every other cartoon.

Examples:

Bulkhead got whacked in the face by his own lob ball as it preceded to roll off the shelf after Miko.

Optimus somehow slipped on a banana peel and accidentally falls on Bumblebee from trying not to squish the Weretoon.

Ratchet crashes into the ceiling when Jack's knife set is hurtled at Miko with the medic taking said blades to the aft. (Toon law: Anyone struck by a pointy object always launches upwards.)

Miko reveals her beast form during the Scrapheap episode. She gotten pissed when some Scraplets had munch on a metal custom road plate her dad made for her room. Never anger a toon who can turn into a serpentine dragon like mole cause Miko chased the little pests everywhere with a vengeance.

Jack already resigned to the insanity after this little reveal. He's just glad they got a heavy hitter that the Scraplets couldn't munch on. Optimus and Arcee were really confused about this new development but let Miko help warm them up. (She runs hot as a mole dragon plus long enough to coil around someone OP's size.)

Hostage situations with Miko will always go wrong for the kidnapper. She either slips out their grasp like a snake or go beast mode on their ass. Makeshift learns that moles bite especially if they're half dragon.

Knockout and Starscream doesn't have fun with Miko during their respective encounter either(TMI/Rock Bottom.) Her claws can do more than just dig through dirt as she left behind pretty larges gashes on their frames. Starscream and Knockout constantly about still finding sand in their frame.

The ugliest confrontation between Miko with a Decepticon is Predaking. Dragons aren't exactly friendly towards each other as they are territorial as fuck. (Moles are even moreso.) Especially if it involves a claim. Her friends and the Autobots' can be considered Miko's plus considering Predaking is more dragonlike...

She fucking mauls the Predacon with their respective breath attacks leaving freshly made glass everywhere. Ultra Magnus had to hold Miko like an angry extra long ferret so she didn't fly after the retreating Decepticons. Our girl may be strong but not invincible.

Toons can have their own rules turned against them plus Miko can't sustain her toon form for long. She's got an hour to an 1 hr 30 minutes before reverting back. Then there's the threat born from the film 'Who Framed Rodger Rabbit': The Dip.

It can burn a Weretoon in their human form but becomes truly lethal if they are a toon. Dip is their wolfsbane and is the main tool in a Cartoon Hunter's arsenal. Two things Miko wasn't happy to explain to the bots when movie night came around.(Bumblebee apologized btw.)

It's gonna take awhile for the Decepticons to find out. Sadly a certain mechanical based organization knows about Weretoons...and most are hunters. Or that one particular spider bot might add Miko to her list of targets too.

For Miko's father, he'll remain mostly anonymous. This is because I want to keep the main ides separate from any extra doses of insanity should it peak my interest. Like making her foster father Dynamite Anton from Antonball/Antonblast.

What better way to do the 'Meet the Father' bit than this fucker throwing hands with a bunch of moles, called BALLBUSTERS, because their boss Satan stole his booze. (The literal plot for Antonblast.) It would obviously have the fandom wide headcanon of Anton being a demon and his demon form being usually portrayed like this. (Can't resist the sheer irony when you consider the fact Optimus is basically robot jesus in most iterations of the series.)

Things are gonna be chaotic with Ratchet wanting a drink either way it goes.

[squid-seraph]

Jeez I love the way you draw your xeno deep cut designs. Their faces look so natural(?) They're still cartoony but the way their expressions move makes sense. (Not sure how to best describe it) For instance like, as much as I love the silly conjoined eyes thing that Big Man's official design has, I really like your interpretation of him with the separate eyes and more defined face/cheeks cause he's just able to naturally express more. I should also really redo that shiver 3d recreation thing sometime cause it could use a touch-up

oh my goshh thank you!! Okay so fun fact, during the pokemon splatfest i made big man look like a mantine(the pokemon) and i was like "actually this is really cute!" and that's why his eyes are like that! I didnt really want to draw his eyes the way they are canonically because it looks? i dunno silly?

it makes me super happy that you like the designs though! I still go crazy when I see your 3d version of my shiver design because shes soo cute. I also just like your 3d stuff in general BJDFKBSDFK

Shiver was actually the easiest for me and doesnt change at all really but Frye was the hardest! if you see my first xeno frye(dont go back i hate it) she looks pretty different! Ive been flip-flopping between if i really wanna change her eye mask or not, as well as thinking hard about the face shapes of my xenolings!

Transformers: Mosaic #380 - "Leader Of The Club"

Originally posted on May 13th, 2006

Story - Alain Desrochers Art, Letters - Dane Eichinger

deviantART | Seibertron | TFW2005 | BotTalk

wada sez: This strip is inspired by the Disney Label version of Optimus Prime, “Mickey Mouse Trailer”. The strip’s title is quoted from the theme song to The Mickey Mouse Club. On deviantART, Desrochers offered a list of the “magicians and sorcerers” Mickey is acquainted with: “There's Jafar from Aladdin, Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, Fairy Godmother from Cinderella, Merlin from Sword in the Stone, Master Yensid from Fantasia, Genie from Aladdin although he's neither a magician or a sorcerer.” See below for Desrochers’ original script and commentary.

First Panel: Blackness, nothing.

Prime: Where am I, what happened?

Second Panel: Haze is lifting, ill defined shapes are barely identifiable as the clouds, a tree and what might be the side of a building.

Unseen Commentator: Gosh, you had a bad fall, but don’t worry you’re safe now.

Third Panel: Shapes are fuzzy, but clearer. The sky is a vibrant blue, the clouds seem to glow, the tree sways gently as if in a breeze and the side of the building turns out to be a barn door.

Prime: I feel strange, something’s different.

Unseen Person: Gee I’m sorry, when I touched that crystal thing something happened to change you. I don’t know why.

Fourth Panel: POV Prime as he sits up, before him is a creature never before encountered, an anthropomorphic mouse with perfect round ears, white gloves, yellow shoes and a pair of red shorts.

Prime: Who are you?

Mouse: I’m Mickey Mouse.

Fifth Panel: Prime climbs to his feet and shakes his head.

Prime: I’ve never heard of a Mickey Mouse. The Matrix changed me because you touched me you say, but why? *Mickey shrugs at the question*

Sixth Panel: POV Prime looking at his reflection in a pool of water, he should appear cartoony similar to Animated Prime, but more in keeping with traditional Disney animation looks.

Prime: By the Matrix.

Seventh Panel: Full body shot of Mousemus Prime looking both shocked and comically petrified.

Prime: Megatron could never take me seriously like this.

Eighth Panel: Close-Up of Mickey looking suitably ashamed and disappointed at having caused Prime trouble.

Mickey: Oh I’m sorry if I caused you any trouble. Maybe I can get some help to change you back to the way you used to be, I know a lot of magicians and sorcerers. Even a Genie.

Last Panel: Mousemus Prime’s upper torso with a Disney bluebird flitting past his left ear, he shakes his head at Mickey’s concern.

Prime: *Sigh* It is not your fault Mickey Mouse, the Matrix does strange things. I shall have to learn to live with it I suppose. Or perhaps, sorcerers you say?

This might need a little work, let me know if I should rework the last couple of scenes. It might not jive well enough.

End ?

Here is the original script for my Transformers Mosaic piece, I have left it completely intact and chose not to edit it to reflect the changes made in the final draft.

As you can see there was some more dialogue between Mickey and Prime and no really dynamic ending for the piece. Blueike the artist really fixed it up for the second draft by limiting the dialogue and adding that final dynamic scene it helps the story a lot more than what I originally had as an ending.

Most of my other unclaimed scripts have good endings I think, but this one I will admit to having a difficult time limiting myself to actually end the piece on one page. Not only is it a blending of my two favorite hobbies, but it also wasn't easy letting go, my muse wanted to keep writing I think. But I had to limit myself.

Fortunately my collaborative comrade helped get a much better message across for an actual ending. Thanks Blueike :D

The Venture Bros. #40: “The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Pt. 1)” | August 17, 2008 - 11:30PM | S03E12

The best episode of season three, and one of the best Venture episodes period: The Family That Slays Together, Stays Together (Pt. 1)  is a fairly straight-forward episode that is so goddamn well-made. This is the payoff of a comparatively limp season. 

This one picks up directly where the previous episode left off, with Brock having just finished his fight to the death with his own car. Brock won. Moltov Cocktease shows up to confirm what Brock already knew: the OSI is looking to terminate Brock. Why? This isn’t totally clear; in fact I thought I was missing something. It turns out there’s more to the story that we don’t really know yet. What’s important is that Brock is on the run from three assassins. Brock tries to separate himself from the Ventures, but things don’t go as planned. Brock manages to get over on all of the assassins, which is good, because he’s a good guy and the assassins are bad guys.

Meanwhile, The Monarch and co are raiding the Venture compound after the events of The Lepidopterists have left them with probable cause to go after Dr. Venture. There they find Sgt. Hatred, Rusty’s previously Guild-sanctioned arch. He’s despondent over his impending break-up with Princess Tiny Feet, and is planning to just hang out in Venture’s bathroom until he or Brock find him and kill him. Dr. Girlfriend and him have a heart to heart while he sits on the toilet. Also, 21 needs to pee really bad. 

The first assassin is visually inspired by Klaus Kinski, and is said to be inspired by Udo Kier’s character in My Own Private Idaho, which I’ve never seen. His character is seemingly sexually obsessed with his motorcycle and guns and is very excitable. He’s freakishly intimidating. This is maybe the best scene in the episode. The entire fight takes place around the strip club, where Brock is visiting Hunter Gathers yet again. Hunter helps Brock get a passport and a contact list of OSI members who went off the reservation, as well as the keys to his car. The Venture Bros’ special airplane gets shot down in the scuffle, so Doc and the boys wind up crash landing. HeLPER heroically acts at the plane’s landing gear and saves them. It’s legitimately touching! I coulda cried! 

We catch up with Shore Leave and Mile High, who are now a pair of Youth Pastors going by different punny names. They do a Bibleman reference, which, unlike My Own Private Idaho, I HAVE SEEN. Brock squares off with the second assassin, a guy who looks like Robert Shaw from Jaws. This scene involves Brock using a shark carcass by dressing it up to look like him. He quickly sheers off his hair enabling him to use it as a wig for the shark, I guess. There’s a lot of cartoony stuff in this one, but I forgive it, because it’s all awesome. It’s like, the perfect balance between cartoonish nonsense and grounded character stuff. It’s the goddamn reason you make a show like this animated in the first goddamn place!

The third is a guy who, I had to google to figure this out, is based on Marvel Comics' Kraven the Hunter. This fight is maybe the most harrowing, as Brock winds up a nipple down. After fighting for their lives, they are annoyingly arrested by just some normal-ass cops.

Speaking of nipples, eagle-eyed viewers watching the blu-ray will note a Dr. Mrs. The Monarch nip-slip in one scene, which was not in the broadcast version at all (censored or otherwise). We also see Hatred’s D while he weeps on the toilet. Also: this episode originally aired with the TIKI TAKI MOTEL sign pixelated out. Can’t find a straight answer as to why after six minutes of googling, but I found out that the iTunes version, which came out soon after it aired on television, was in tact, and it was a source of confusion as to why it was blurred on TV but helped solve the mystery of what was under those pixels. My guess is it had to do with some kind of legal clearance panic that wound up being unnecessary.

What are your Man Show memories. I have a few. Here they are.

Hey, your memories got deleted, dude.

I did not purposely leave my Man Show memories blank! Apparently not only can you not show naked women on this website you can't even talk about them. Oh well. Sorry, but I won't be visiting this blog anymore! The uncanny Orwellianess is simply too much. Let me know if you go to substack.

Damn. Well, I was so addicted to cleavage (I still like it TBH) that I watched way too much of this show, even though the comedy was frustratingly uneven. I maintain that if you took the best 60 minutes of Man Show sketches that it would actually hold up as pretty funny. I remember taping and saving the sketch where they tried to cut in line at one of the Star Wars prequels, and one where Jimmy Kimmel bothers people in the bathroom stall next to his. He does a trivia question and then awards him a plate of brownies, which he passes under the stall. Legitimately very funny.

OTHER MEMORIES:

I always maintained that the show was meant to be more self-deprecating than it often wound up being, and I cite this one moment where Adam and Jimmy are showing a slideshow of people tailgating, and he shows a group of obviously gay guys as though they just took a picture of them covertly. The payoff was Jimmy and Adam gleefully join them. I get that it's still insensitive/problematic; it's still understood that the gay people are a punchline which wasn't really even that cool in the late 90s/early 2000s. But the studio audience all instinctively booed when they first showed the first slide AHH!

The German version of The Man Show aired a sketch called GAY BUSTERS, a parody of the Ghost Busters song. The music video showed the hosts using a protopack to just zap gay guys into nothingness. The sketch ended with the host addressing the camera, appearing to say something uh, angry-seeming. It was pretty scary.

And I like the Juggies! I think they're cute!!

Super Paper ROBLOX: Hundred Year Symphony

Act 1, Prologue: Into the Forest

(This is a rework of an original version of this that I've done in like April of this year, that I only had one chapter of. Reworking on it because the original version [Now deleted] was honestly shit, shit enough to have me not want to continue it. here's hoping this version isn't shit too)

Wiscara, walking on the forest path, was pondering something. “If Antgon was just a kid, why did people like Rozanda follow him? Even someone like Tretone.” she thought to herself. She kept walking until she saw a slight red glow in the distance. “What the?” she slowly sneaked towards the glow. Staying in the bushes, she pushes some leaves out of her view, showing her a group of robed people talking around a summoning circle. A robed person with a cut in their hood for a broken halo to go through walked up to the circle with a large red crystal with the silhouette of a robloxian inside. “This will have to do, a group of us may have failed but we can release him with one of those pure hearts.” the person said. “Let us begin then.” a familiar voice said before the circle was surrounded. Between the robes, Wiscara could see the crystal begin to crack and break as the ground began shaking. 

All stopping suddenly when the crystal and the person inside breaks into pieces and gets pulled into the marked circle, with inky like liquid coming out of the circle. The group backed up, out of Wiscara’s pov, giving her almost clear view of the liquid starting to take shape. “What the-?” she accidentally quietly spit out, before covering her mouth. Causing one of the robed people’s, near the bush she is in, attention for a split second. Unintentionally saved from being spotted when a robloxian-sized rubber hose cartoony ram demon ink creature finally forms.

“Ram ink demon”:*stretching* Ah, Finally free.*sees their form before looking to the crowd* Alright, who failed to get the book?

Familiar Voice: My lord, to be fair. We were only following your orders, which were to follow Antagon’s orders and get the book. You trusted the little necromancer kid to “take the wheel”.

“Ram ink demon”:...He was a kid?! *sighs* Are you kidding me… Well, You and your group still didn’t get the book, so you 3ds don’t have any use to me anymore. 

broken halo person: My lord, please reconsider their punishment. They can still have more use. I promise they won’t fail again, if you-

“Ram ink demon”:*senses someone* hold it… *turned his head around suspiciously* we’re being watched..

“Oh crap” Wiscara thought to herself, before quickly and quietly back away. Once she was a good distance away, she ran back on the dirt path. “This can’t be good; I need to tell the others.” she thought as she ran with all her might.

[the-sneep-snoop]

ok from ages ten to fourteen i was incredibly obsessed with the hobbit and i haven’t watched it since then , so i’m rewatching it rn and here are some of my thoughts!

- i don’t remember thorin having such a massive forehead

- the soundtrack doesn’t even need the movie to be good you could just listen to it on its own

- the fight scenes r awesome like the one at the beginning with the oakenshield bit and azog’s arm coming off

- i LOVE the unexpected visitors bit it’s iconic and i love it. the whole part where they’re at the shire i love.

- on the other hand, the part with frodo and old man bilbo i don’t remember at all like i have zero recollection of this

- i still remember all the words to misty mountains. and all the words to the whole ‘one ring to rule them all’ thing. and the road goes ever on. i used to memorize stuff like that for fun and write it over and over in my diary

- the lego game version of this movie was AWESOME btw

- seeing fili and kili at the door gave me physical whiplash. it all came back to me in a millisecond. you have NO IDEA how obsessed i was. i can barely comprehend it. this is probably when i started making fanart, cause i still have books fully of shitty anime style fili. i liked kili WAY more tbh but i thought he was harder to draw

- same with thranduil. when he was on the moose and did the stare into the camera i got this intense wave of nostalgia/cringe. i have shitty anime drawings of him too (like a LOT)

- i LOVE the humour from the books and i have to say it translates very well to the movie imo. the troll bit WAS funny ok

- on a side note i know everyone likes lotr better than the hobbit but it always was my favourite. probably cause the book was so good

- i love sebastian the hedgehog

- the effects, to me, seem to hold up pretty well. my family apparently doesn’t agree since they kept asking why it looks so cartoony and whether this is an animated movie or live-action.

- the dwarves are SO silly they’re goofy guys and every single one has transmasc swag

- the shot where they walk down the path to rivendell is my very favourite

- bilbo’s facial expressions are the BEST 😭😭😭 he’s constantly like side eye… side eye……

anyways that’s it for halfway through unexpected journey so yeah like and subscribe for part 2

I don't post nearly enough about the book I'm writing.

So heres a doodle! A realistic version and a more cartoony version, naturally.

This is one of the main characters who shows up way later named Mikal. He's a thief in a large city in the North Eastern territory. He only steals to survive, you see, it's not that big of a deal... people just care way too much about loaves of bread and purses. He's a phenomenal hot music performer, gigging from club to club and running from the bouncers after they realize he doesn't actually have a performers license. With what little money he makes, he saves to pay back his closest friend Robert for keeping him safe off the streets. He doesn't get along with Robert's wife, but the moment someone makes any kind of comment towards her, they are dead to him. He has a bad habit of smoking and snapping at those around him when he's trying to focus. He gets what he calls "the wiggles" whenever he gets excited about music, mechanical invention, or the popular book series, The Dubious Detective.

He doesn't really like talking about his past, he just wants to live in the here and now. It's almost like pulling teeth to get any kind of information about him, especially when asked about the ring around his pinky.

Here is a small excerpt of him and the main character Talli from my wip draft:

"I'm surprised you even agreed to this investigation from the Rebellion for someone who is so against organized group effort."

"Hey," he said, pointing at Talli with his tobacco. "It's my best interest right now, not a do gooder mentality. Besides, any way to fuck with the elite is a positive in my book. I'd even do it without organized effort from a shady underground group that hates anything that breathes against freedom. It's my thing."

"You're unbearable."

"Then why do you enjoy my company so much?" Mike cocked a bushy eyebrow, big, sleepy eyes staring intently. A challenge. Talli didn't look over at him as she watched the Learner getting out of the carriage with his personal guard. He dusted his coat, picked off a piece of lint, and almost swooned at the unfortunate need to be perfect at all times.

"I dont." She replied. "It just makes Robert happy." Mike chuckled at the response, shaking his head. He took another drag again and finally stamped out the burning paper and took a deep breath.

"That's what they all say." The cocky grin appeared on his face again, crooked and gapped tooth as always. "He's the favorite. I know." He stood up. "How's it looking? We okay to get going? I'm dying to see what this club looks like. Not every day im in Uptown. Surprised I haven't been accused of anything..."

"The Learner just walked in, of course being oh so aware of the biggest speck of dust. He has a handful of guardians with him." Talli reported. She tucked her hair behind her ears and pushed back her shoulders. "Ready to go in when you are."

"Should I be just as fussy as our Highness to be?" Mike whispered out the side of his mouth.

"You do, and I will dump you on the side of the street." Talli snapped back, causing her companion to laugh as they walked through the door. Hot music burst on the scene, assaulting their ear drums with loud, brash, and fast-moving chords. Mike's eyes shimmered almost immediately, growing wide from their usual dreaminess. His hands started to shake in excitement until Talli squeezed one of them to signal for him to contain himself. He took a breath and tried to keep his eyes ahead of himself and not on the band stand. Oh how he wished he had his horn… They weaved through the crowd of rich elite that dripped with bright, glistening diamonds and pearls, almost obscured bodies swaying slightly to the tune that rose above their heads like warm air. The chattering was brisk and high pitched, giggles here and there, and full-blown belly laughs from deeper within the club. Smoke hung in the air from cigars and wafted as folks moved from one space to the next. The band stopped playing for a moment as they adjusted to play their next song: a slower ballad for couples to dance to. The two finally weaved their way to the back, looking for the Learner every time they passed people. Mike bumped into a fellow with a feathered hat and a black lace mask, muttering a quiet excuse me as his expert hand reached into the pocket of the young man. The other smiled and told him it was no big deal as he turned back to his date. Talli frowned at Mike, shaking her head, and he could only give her a sheepish grin as he checked the contents of the young man's purse as they walked.

"Im honestly flabbergasted," came a clean and articulate voice. "He has me working like a dog! An absolute dog. As if I'm from the Sanctuary. As if…" a woman giggled at the comment. Talli spotted the tall, young man, his unique clothing bright and obvious. "I just can't stay cooped up anymore. It's so frustrating to work through so much .. arithmetic…"

"I found him…" Talli whispered, dragging Mike away from almost snagging a woman's bag from her waist. She pointed, allowing him to see what she was looking at.

"Oh yeah, that's definitely him. He looks like a filthy rich asshole."

"Sounds like it too."

"Hm, we're on the same page for once." Mike joked, leading Talli to a close by table.

last one for the night!

another wip of that draw the squad thing for ninjago

I’m running out of room....cause I gotta fit 3 more on and theoretically I could put Zane behind Jay but I don’t rly wanna..

also. because this is...way bigger than what I usually draw I rly don’t want to make a digital version bc that would be a Lot and I’ve literally ever drawn all the ninja on one canvas before for that exact reason. so I might scan it in instead. maybe take some colored pencil to it lol haven’t done that in a while
