"The Fall of the Starmaker"

[impyssadobsessions]

My Redesign/Concept for Clockwork/Chronos for my danny phantom x devil may cry crossover >W< Clockwork is the one that sends Danny on this quest afterall ;3 Also ghost king Clockwork for the end ewe when he stabs Danny. He goes from looking old frail and weak to becoming more youthful and strong- truly looking as he is a demon. I failed a bit on the clock arms to be his wings =w= but that can be worked out more a different time XD Also my idea of like Clockwork having been a piece of chronos trapped/linked to the ghost realm. A way to be in both places at once and how he was stripped of his power. Broken up and force to be weak- until Danny steps in.. not knowing he was setup his entire life to free/heal him. Also i wish i could animate or do the texture

the blue glow in his stomach is actually suppose to be sand flowing from his rib cage to his pelvis like an hour glass.

This was part of my reference... imagine him riding on that chariot >w< So I had to combine those ideas plus I combined the ideas of what ppl usually depict Chronos as which is a buff old dude XDD I had fun coming up with this. Honestly what started it was the idea of after Danny who's fighting the chains trying to bind him to the coffin, that pariah the dark was sealed in after defeating Pariah, gets stabbed to the ground by clockwork's staff. And in his blurry vision see a pair of leathery skeleton feet and a long end of a beard, before recognizing who this is. Clockwork having stopped/slowed time to keep nero, dante, and vergil from intervening. Link to my other crossover concepts

Use this one trick to instantly fix all childhood trauma (Jedi Masters don’t want you to know this)!!!!!

That is what every “if Obi-Wan had just— *adds one extra scene to canon* —then Anakin would’ve had perfect mental health and never listened to Palpatine at all,” sounds like to me. Look I am not an expert on any kind of psychology at all let alone early childhood development but,

It is possible to do your very best to help or raise someone and still have bad or imperfect outcomes, especially when you have someone actively, secretly working against you (cough cough Sith Lord of the month cough), (for many reasons, but in this case particularly), because unravelling the mindset built in early childhood is hard, actually.

Coming at this from the “raised in a safe and loving environment” side of things, it took me years to figure out and internalize that my friends whose parents weren’t as great as mine were functioning in an entirely different landscape when it came to their interactions with adults.

Many years ago when I was in middle school a friend (acquaintance? idk I think most people thought I was annoying) told me that her ankle kept giving out and causing her pain. I asked if she'd told her parents so she could rest or go to the doctor. She told me she had, but her mother either hadn't listened or refused to help. My (approximate) responses?

"So it's not actually that bad then?"

"You should tell her again."

"Are you sure you explained it right?"

The only explanation I could comprehend at the time was that there must have been some unclear communication about the situation or its severity--if her mother had understood she was in pain, she couldn't possibly have just not done anything about it? Adults are responsible, caring, etcetera! They wouldn't do that?!

With more experience, I've come to understand better, and learned to respond in kinder, more helpful ways, but the shift in mindset was not and is not intuitive.

And I had the luxury of figuring all that out whilst being safe myself. Coming from the other direction, being in danger and trying to figure out why other people act like the world is safe? I can't say for sure, but I imagine it’s a lot more complicated.

Point with regard to Star Wars being, it really is harder for Anakin, coming in later, to acclimate to the Jedi ways and thought processes than it is for his peers who grew up in the safe environment of the Temple. And whatever arguments people want to have about how much psychology and therapy exist in the Star Wars universe, or how much “Jedi just do cognitive behavioral therapy” (not totally inaccurate, but reductive on several levels), no matter what the answers to those questions, it will still be harder for Anakin.

There is a reason the council changes its mind on training him only after he is suddenly famous and the Sith are proven to be back. When Anakin was not in significant danger of being snatched up by someone else, it was genuinely probably the easier and safer option—for him and everyone else—for him to live a different life.

The Jedi are not necessarily fully prepared for a child with Anakin's history, and, there is nothing bad about living an ordinary life. Anakin would not have been somehow unforgivably robbed by living life as a mechanic or an engineer or something, rather than being a Jedi.

Anakin is a victim of many things in his life—Sidious, Watto, Gardulla, Tatooine’s everything, his own conscious choices—but he is not a victim of malice, incompetence, or idiocy by the Jedi just because they couldn't—in only a decade or so—help him fully and perfectly unravel the mindset he developed in his early childhood. If there was any lack of qualification on their part, it was one they were aware of—but which was outweighed by the danger of little Anakin getting kidnapped out of normal-kid elementary school.

Being brought up in and around slavery absolutely made him more vulnerable to Sidous and became the basis of their dynamic as master and apprentice. Acting like the trauma that affects his mindset and actions for his entire life can be obliterated just by making minimal changes to the plot is wild to me.

And don’t get me wrong, fics and headcanons can do whatever they want, not everyone wants or is trying to write a deep psychological character study (also fanfic and even fiction in general cannot and should not be held to any standard of realism if it's not serving the story and the author)—simple fix-it’s (my love) are fun and an excellent short-cut to other things like happiness and fluff (my other loves)—but don’t act serious about the idea that adding one conversation about his feelings or one extra explanation about Jedi philosophy would automatically lead to Anakin having perfect mental health outcomes and always making good decisions.

Disclaimer (if the ones throughout weren't enough) : please go forth and do whatever you want. the moral of this post is actually just that (1) you won’t convince me, (2) I wanted to talk about this, (3) the clickbait title was too funny not to post, (4) i literally can't open my mouth without phrasing things like i'm in the middle of a heated debate, and (5) i continue to not be an expert in early childhood development—my evidence is very literally anecdotal

Just finished up Ragatha for the Neo-Human AU! @notadreamurr She is in so much PAAAAAIIIIIIINNNNNNNN. All these guys will be put in a master post with fully colored references in the future.

Subject 39 Alias: "Ragatha" Age: 30 Subject 39 was one of the first successes following Subjects 11 and 12. However, Doctor Caine struggled to perfectly recreate the engineering that allowed said subjects to live. After dozens of failures, he finally created Subject 39. However, this meant she was left as a guinea pig for his attempts at making another functional neo-human. Her limbs always feel too heavy or uncomfortable. She cannot properly see out of her cybernetic eye. Her body is covered in scars from mistakes made on the operating table, and her jaw is held together with wires; constantly getting infected, therefore making it incredibly painful for her to speak. Subject 39 attempted to befriend Subject 57, however, her unsightly appearance commonly results in the other subjects feeling frightened of her.

Young Aaravos ((Commission work + concept art doodles!) Some foot notes:

Akkadian: 𒀝𒅗𒁺𒌑(𒌝) was an East Semitic language that was spoken in ancient Mesopotamia (4000 BCE—or 6000 years ago, aka one of the earliest human civilizations that we know of.)

But wait!!

And bonus even more Aaravos doodles from 2024

and the most important foot note of all:

I cannot, and I will not, spend my entire life fixing what an entire room full of adults writers with years of experience should have done properly. Good writing for a franchise is a team effort, not a ME effort. All I can do is drip feed everyone small glimpses the version of this show that I dreamed of!

I'm so tired of phrases like "anti-woke". Just say you're a racist/homophobic weirdo.
