#cover your eyes I guess

[tohellandback99]

So I was thinking about the various bits of Wendell and Wild merch that I would personally love to see and purchase from stores. I have a small plethora of things that I can think of. One of the things is a poster or something of Raul’s art to mount or display on my wall. Why? It’s something relating to Raul that isn’t on a t shirt or something generic that I can think would best show my appreciation of him than on any other type of merch. And he DESERVES some. I respect artists’ work, who talk about deep shit in their art that’s done symbolically and it’s also gorgeous why wouldn’t I? And now, I’ve found it priority for me to speak on this one thing just separately right now, and you will see exactly why. Cause what I JUST seen this morning has given me urgent cause of reckoning!

I just was minding my business and doing things around the house. I put the movie on of course as is my custom as a bonafide, STAN. I see this in the credits as I look over. my jaw DROPPED, and when I thought about why they might have changed it I was immediately depressed:

WHY DID YOU CENSOR HER? Raul couldn’t have done this! This must be the initial drawing. It makes no sense to me.

People sexualize, fetishize a feminine body in every piece of media. Disproportionate, overly sexualized bodies all the time in animation. We put pink bows, lace and ribbons on women’s and GIRL’S bras and underwear, like it’s Christmas Eve but we never show or talk about what’s under a woman’s clothes and it’s not only exhausting to see. But degrading of a woman’s body. Not to mention all the actual harm it does.

The fact that they put it in the credits doesn’t do anything besides sweep it under the rug still and taunt us all at the same time!

How on earth is this “too much” for people when we have lord Belzer shitting out souls from his literal ass? I mean, really

Were they afraid this will turn David on? Or what Becky will say, who goes to every pta meeting and disproportionately freaks out about supposed “sex material” in media and literature, sex education? Talk of periods? Mentioning that oh, gay people exist and that’s fine? Says more about them than a stop motion character’s tits in a drawing. This is REAL, HUMAN anatomy. RIGHT HERE! Yes 🙌 This is reality

I just want to enjoy the bloody artwork! I’m not angry at the end result, I’m sad that that’s probably why they changed it is all.

I don’t know who made this, if this was all done by Pablo Lobato. I don’t know and if someone does I’m curious. but it’s amazing and I appreciate you for doing this even if it didn’t go through. I’m so sorry that you had to cover her boobs for parents who get “uncomfy.” Oh my god. 🙄

If I can get a print or something of this? this is the one I want. No censorship.

Was it Irmgard who censored this? It was Irmgard, wasn’t it? 😂 I bet it was Irmgard.

Hey Bean, you got a little- A little something- Right there- Yeah

[icewindandboringhorror]

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

I don't want to be the one to tell you that the world is broke, but you're so innocent, you cannot separate fire from the smoke. [Up To No Good - The Hoosiers] shoutout to Bo (@//rainbowpufflez) for showing me this song. because it has NOT left my brain, and here we are.

[triglycercule]

alright i finished this so i need to celebrate my accomplishment (???) by sharing it to the world

BETTER versions of my trio designs. because boo boo the other old ones were BORING and TOO SIMPLE and lowhighkey UGLY. i had no idea what i was thinking when i made this but i guess design notes before to see if i can figure out what the fuck these mean 💀

killer🔪:3

he got a GLOW UP!!! when i was figuring him out i was thinking like. this man needs to look combat ready he CANNOT look chill and relaxed he MUST look good to fight. killer can't catch a break 💀 anyways. it's ALSO not revealing (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎) because i feel he would NOT wear that stuff cmon flirty =/= revealing. his charms are found through his words and actions (stabbing someone through the heart) (speaking of the heart i couldn't be bothered to draw his soul mb)

the gloves/shirt/leggings under his clothes may LOOK seperate. but its actually all one big piece!!! because i thought it would be silly and funny :3 but like on a serious note i like this because it provides an extra layer of protection (both in a fight and not) and like. a sense of anonymity i guess??? like you can't see killer's natural body you cant SEE who he was before because hes changed that much (or i guess HE cant see who he was b4 wtvr)

actually a lot of killer's outfit has meaning behind it. knee pads = unnatural body imitation killer is a whole new being now not monster (also adding 2 the combat look :3) belts = restraint killer needs to stay in line and do as he's ordered (i needed some visual interest 💀) zippers on shoes?? actually no meaning i just thought it would be cute. somehow i managed to find meanings 4 all of the trio's zippers. killer's is jammed in that spot. show like idk he is irreversibly changed to what he is now (a lot of this makes no sense)

horror 🪓 :3

if you remove all the rips in the clothes he'd be the most basic out of all of them. but theyre there so he's NOT the most basic! 4 horror i was thinking like "you can see he's fucked up but you can also see he's desperately trying to keep it together" type feel. i totally didnt steal those under socket lines (thank you mania and paranoia for donating to your og versions :3) to make horror look more 🌀🌀🌀 (cannot describe it)

the cloak was stolen from undyne trust. he wears it as a power move FUCK YOU!!! to her :3 also it looks royal and regal which could kinda show like horror's power and sway over snowdin. he's DEFINITELY not a king but he is a provider and a lot of what he says goes around those parts. a lot of ppl look to him as like world's shittiest leader(ish). also i just wanted him to have something unique!

underneath horror's jacket his shirt is reaaaally torn he should probably replace it. there are some holes from when he was pinned down with spears during the core incident and then the whole lower half is just totally torn off from that one comic 💀 but thats why the jacket is zipped up! however the zipper broke and now the jacket can't unzip! (because horror struggles with the fact that horrortale ISNT gonna be perpetually shitty (everyone say thanks aliza) and would rather nobody see him vulnerable)

dust��:3

i didn't change much about him lowkey he's pretty much wearing the same CLOTHES. just that the style and way he's wearing them changed. wanted him to give like,,,,, comfy (because bro did not change out of his sansish clothes) but also like FOCUSED o(≧口≦)o like horror he has the under socket line but thats just to make him look more stressed and tired

i moved around the scarf to NOT be around his neck bc it was sooo annoying drawing the hood and then having to account for the scarf. it kind gave him a baby face vibe which i did NOT like. also i think dust would wear the scarf however. very versatile as long as the scarf remains intact. so it COULD go around waist COULD be around neck COULD be around limbs

i didn't mean to do this but the black thingy around his shoulders (was originally there just to fill in the empty space without the scarf there 💀) could be seen as like mourning wear. again with the silly zipper symbolism but dust's zipper is fine its not broken like horror or killer's are because he chose to go down this path. dust CHOSE to zip it up and now its too late to go back now (so bro MUST power through ‼️‼️ he cant unzip the zipper now!!!!)

overall i like these. usually i like coming up with cool unique character designs its so fun but my trio was hard (im hard). probably bc i didnt wanna make then wear anything too weird Dx BUT NOW AT LEAST THEY ALL LOOK LESS BABY!!!! i think i depicted how i see them though like ughhh cannot explain but now they look like how i want them to sound

Reckless Charge

With Decked Out 2 finally finished, Tango is able to rest a bit. Find a hermit every night who's bed he can share, see the sun occasionally, normal and healthy things for the local blaze hybrid. Following Etho home after a successful run for some sleep was exactly what Tango indeed to do. No more looking through his maze of redstone and carefully themed rooms for every minor bug, flaw, and crack in the system. A game for his family to enjoy at their leisure. That is, until Jevin accidentally reveals a far bigger flaw of Decked Out 2 to Tango - and it's one he can't just fix. Not on his own. His hands shake and the tiredness leaves him entirely as he's called back to Decked Out 2, back to home, in order to fix it before it's too late.

Relationships: OnScreen Etho/Tango, Implied PolyHermits

Major Characters: Tango, Etho, Tiny Tom

TW: Temporary Character Death, PTSD from the Life Series, Child in danger [but not harmed], Injuries, Panic Attacks

Hiiiii I got a little possessed by Decked Out 2 do you still love me. I blame @em-mermaid bc she was like 'what if the hermit kids' and i said 'what IF the hermit kids!!!' and. Well. Here we are.

I'm so curious if you'd ever considering running a bracket for big beautiful brown eyes

I've had some ideas for some appearance based polls in the past (like big baby cow eyes) but the problem is that I can't figure out a way to run them that feels right? idk I'm not saying that they're bad conceptually, in fact I'd be pretty interested in one ngl, but it feels like a different type of thing then what I'm doing here? if that makes sense? idk my favorite type of bracket to run has to do with like character tropes and whatnot, which this feels like a departure from in a way? and idk I might have to adjust some of the structure of the bracket too, at least in phrasing and how to do stuff like prelims. also the topic is pretty broad, with like most of the characters in bl qualifying, which complicates things for even submissions, so I feel like it would be best done split up into smaller pools of stuff to draw from (like by country or year or something else)

short answer: maybe but probably not cause it feels like a departure from what I'm doing but I also like the concept and would definitely promote anyone else who chose to do it!

A little bit of book design wisdom; an ideal cover title should remain legible from a certain distance and at a thumbnail size.

Part of getting this to work is letter thickness, part of this is text size, and part of this is making sure that color contrast distinguishes the text from the background. If you're struggling with contrast, slap an outline around the text. Even a really thin one can work wonders.

[itsseriouslyridiculous]

I really hate how my physical body looks so so so much. unfortunately there isn't much I can do about it.

[obstinaterixatrix]

also I told them that I think I can say I don’t like 50s pop from the usa, but as we kept going I was like ‘well, I guess I do like [specific 50s pop song]’ and we kept having to narrow it down & sister thinks, specifically, I don’t like slow white doo-wop from the 50s. she might be right

Nurse: sorry you can't dress like that at the hospital.

Me (after noticing other women showing way more skin than me): are you gonna tell them that or did you only single me out because of my appearance?

Nurse:

[nemoys]

do you ever just think of how jaw droppingly gorgeously gob smackingly beautiful alhaitham's eyes are. do you ever wonder why in the world he had to have pretty lashes to boot. because i do, and i have been, for the last three hours.

I also like to imagine that he puts on kohl (or kajal whatever you call it) every morning because holy shit the definition is crazy ??

[lrdvyke]

something i've begun to wonder ( going back to eyes once more for the frenzy ghkjsg ) is that the frenzy flamed villagers have little flames coming out of their eye sockets. originally i thought that's the progression of what would happen should both eyes be scooped out. the flame inside simply starts being more prominent or something along those lines. however, once you get inside the underground church leading to the three fingers, you see every single one of the merchants eyeless yet still able to do the frenzy incantations.

connecting the dots ( maybe ), there's a chance that the villagers still have their eyes, the flames coming out of them is simply just the progression of how the eyes go when infected. slowly, after a while, they will be aflame in your sockets until you either die to the frenzy, or scoop them out.

so, quality of life for escaped vyke; there's a high possibility that the last eye left to him will slowly start sparking into a flame if left in long enough. might be better for him, in the end, to scoop it out 🤔 or is it a lose-lose situation, where keeping the eye in for sure makes you succumb faster, but if you scoop them out there's another chance it will also make you succumb faster because that's what you're meant to do after all ( who knows what you see once they're out, you know—if given to the whole hivemind theory, that is ) ?

@ the writer-filmmaker scripting my life: stop doing shit and go direct somebody else's life please. I do not like your match cuts.

[mercymaker]

also I just remembered my dream and it was literally loading into bg3 and finding out the mods/patch broke it beyond recognition and mal just looked like the forsaken undead from wow

yellow eyes, parts of her cheek missing, skeletal hands

not only that! I thought it looked cool so I decided to take some screenshots but every time I'd move the camera it would also move the terrain and squish the meshes it was INSANE
