#daily basis tbh

Absolutely NOBODY asked for this but Papaya trio sketches because for some reason out of ALL the characters in Ninjago my brain could’ve picked to latch on to, it chose the three who have never canonically met

I’m sorry but I love them dearly

I also apologize for not allowing any character that I draw to NOT have at least one inhuman trait, as you can see Morro got the worst of it here

The real reason why he's imperfect

[linipik]

Have you ever drawn Frank Zhang?

Yeah, a couple of times a loooong time ago

I didn't draw much of HoO tbh, and back then I used to draw with pen and paper way more, the good old times.

midori occupies every crevice in my brain. so here is some aimless and scattered rambling. it is absolutely not organized, and this is a continuation of my last post. please don't come for me

when alice 'killed' him, he didn't bleed. later in the secret repair room, you find a repaired head that reported a broken left eye, which matches what happened to the midori that alice pushed into the fence. the original midori was gone before he even began to recruit the cast. the only surviving bit of his human body we know of were attached to mai, but even mai ends up drilled or otherwise dies after the last trial.

more than half of him is doll, and the only evidence of his humanity has been destroyed. midori creates and destroys dolls of himself and the others as easy as breathing, abuses and torments people and watches them contort mentally and physically with great interest. he despises his entertainment coming to an end. he's aloof most of the time, unless he's bullying the cast and enjoying himself, or angry, disturbed somehow.

i have half a guess that the midoris that recruited the cast are not the same, but rather several different dolls of himself. this way, not only would he have discarded his physical humanity, but also minimized any consequences of him dying. on the one hand, he has trivialized the life of others as well as others, boldly inviting everyone to try and kill him. on the other, he is human yet at heart, fearing death like any other. trivialized is the less than half of him that is still human, like a majority vote, as he is. the game is a great criticism of democracy - the majority decide for everyone. a collective mass with no space for anyone's individual choice, with the few protesting voices silenced. they are trivialized.

an empty human, soulless. a doll. an aloof, empty husk that finds enjoyment only in controlling and torturing. perhaps he feels alive. perhaps he feels the fear of death and remembers his vulnerability, but from a safe distance, able to detach himself from it.

him having multiple replacements for himself would also mean he is, in a way, immortal. i assume every midori has the same personality, at least. that would be shedding the final layer of being human: mortality.

but one thing remains - shin tsukimi, living with midori's real name and a living caricature of who sou hiyori was. midori is a bit obsessed with him and who he was before he stole midori's name and adopted his general demeanor - the ai shin is a timid, but kind and sweet presence, like shin before the game. midori remarks that he regrets not being able to be the one who kills him. as infatuated as he is with the kindly ai shin, his love of control is first, and when pushed far enough, he 'kills' the ai shin too.

but why this, seemingly, immense need to lose one's humanity? something to do with what he was as a normal human at the beginning of everything? does being human impede him somehow? though regardless of how much he runs from it, he ends up with the very human fear of death all the same, a lack of control over his destiny, a lack of control in general. he loses all composure once he's seen through. the dolls establish that they have a right to make their own choices, and thus that makes them human - breaking shackles, freeing themselves of their circumstances, of control. this was midori's trump card over them - the ultimate trap, death. he puppeteered them by abusing their human psyches and weaknesses and hanging it over their necks like a guillotine, until the same guillotine chopped off his own head in the end.

having seen kai's episode, i wonder what kind of effect his mother had on him. i'll call her mrs hiyori. in her first interaction with gashu, she seems the picture of a great mother, giving him the right advice for kai and sei. gashu takes it to heart, and the results are extremely positive as well. but once the objective is complete, her attitude flips on its head. she suffocates gashu with his circumstances. she forces him to choose one, not the other. she changes as she sees fit, displaying that same suave manipulation midori is famous for. i don't think i covered nearly everything i wanted to say, but this will do for now

s1e6 vs. s1e9

his rapt, glassy-eyed expression while overseeing torture vs. his expression of arousal in the foot scene being utterly the same

when your hyperfixation/special interest is so intense that you squeal at any slight mention of it and when someone insults it you literally wanna sob

I was frustrated because I couldn't get more screenshots of Sylvan & Poppy.

So, my hands slipped.

Please ignore their state of undress; clothes are my kryptonite. 😂😂

I hadn't drawn anything since my final year of college, which was over six to seven years ago. Thank fuck I still managed to portray Sylvan's personality through his expression. Hard to get that playful aura via in-game animations.

Probably will go back to finish this whenever I have the motivation.

He has no business looking that mischievously hot tho.

[lesbianwithchainsaws]

Maybe a weird request, but can someone please assure me that no one is in my head/can know all my thoughts? I'm fully aware that it's not possible for someone to be in my head, but unfortunately being aware of it isn't always enough to make the feeling go away. I've never actually asked anyone else to assure me of this and always just deal with that feeling myself, but I wanna see if that might help bc i keep feeling that today

Neither of these are new, but take some outtakes of two of my pirate captains!

[ninja-go-to-therapy]

What's your hot take when it comes to the trolls movies?

Honestly I feel like most of my opinions are like… normal ones tbh let me think rlly hard for a sec

I think my hottest take (which is still lukewarm at best) that I can think of rn is that like JD deserves to be beaten up I need him to be punched in the nose.

Also Poppy did nothing wrong and ppl just hate her bc she’s a female character who has flaws (aka a well rounded character)

Ok wait another one I don’t get why ppl ship Fleek. The only version of them I care about is tdau. But like how did that ship come about im fr confused

OH AND FLOYD GETS MISCHARACTERIZED ALL THE TIME BY THE FANDOM

[firegiftlouis]

I don’t know if some white people just think Black people were built to endure the racism that permeates our society and touches our lives in every conceivable way or something, but no we weren’t, dealing with oppression and racism, especially on the level of Jim Crow, would and still does make Black people depressed. Shocker I know.
