I do not know why my being demanded I stay up to finish this one, but WHO CARES! I'm drawing again! I'm so happy to be crawling outta this art block, besties!

So, Dan's one to toss a sassy comeback or a witty one-liner at his enemies. What if Spectra just got fed up one day and was like, "I'm gonna give you something to laugh about." And absolutely just wrecks the poor kid? I headcanon his stomach as his worst spot, so Spectra is sure to exploit that. 😝 Poor kid is gonna be stuck like this for a while

Sorry for non-loz content today but sometimes I fall back into my childhood hyperfixation and have the urge to draw Drago (and sometimes helios)

one of these characters has a second personality who is a major antagonist that uses Bakugan with the darkness element and is the protagonist’s main rival for 3/4s of the first season

the other is the protagonist’s childhood friend

What if I drew them as animals? What then?

Notes under cut:

- I definitely think Mira is a cat, but I drew her as some sort of mustlelid in this one. Otter maybe?

- Dan I see as a sheep/ram because of how competitive he is. He would have large coiled horns as they grow out by s4

- Marucho is a seal because they are little water guys!!!

- I also see volt as more of a bull, so maybe I’ll draw that another time. I was in the mood to draw deer so he is some kind of cervid? Caribou? Who knows

[hexados-on-a-string]

made a few memes that i. personally. think are funny. and also to cope with not being able to draw rn.

Okay I know this fandom is like dead dead. But my dog passed away and I’m on a nostalgia kick

So I’ve been rewatching Bakugan Battle Brawlers. And I have many thoughts.

I restarted in season one and oh boy do these characters grow a lot over the series. And while I love the series for what it is there are some cha gens I would make.

Season one is solid but I see a lot of post on here saying that the show doesn’t do anything with the Dan and Shun’s childhood friendship. First your wrong, that fact very much effects both characters and how they interact with each other.

Shun is obviously processing the loss of his mother and pulling in ward. Dan has no idea how to support his friend in this. (He’s like 11 and has never listed anyone.) so he tells the other brawlers that Shun “left the game” or is a “Flake” which you can ready as Dan being insensitive, or as Dan knowing Shun a) wants to be alone (he’s shut Dan out) and b) shouldn’t or can’t deal with this right now (the bakugan being taken by Masquerade) Dan saying that Shun’s a quitter might be his way of trying to get the others to leave Shun out of it and give the kid time to grieve.

Of course Runo and Marucho go to see Shun anyway and get their buts handed to them.

When Dan finds out he’s angry with them. Why? Because they didn’t listen to you? Or because you didn’t want them dragging Shun into this?

When Dan goes to see Shun he sneaks past all the ninja traps no problem. I saw someone else on here point out that it’s a great detail to show how often Dan has been over to Shun’s grandfather’s dojo. And it is a lovely way of driving home that they are friends.

Season one does a lot of character work and while all the character bonds are important the standouts (besides each Brawlers bond with their Bakugan) is Dan and Shun and Dan and Runo. They have the most focus as individual bonds (the next closest would be Julie and Billy or Alice and everyone)

One moment though that I wish that they did to really drive home that Dan and Shun are/have always been best friends is in episode 28? Shun makes the decision to lose to Masquerade so he can follow Dan into the Doom Dimension.

But during this episode a big plot is Dan’s mom trying to find out where Dan went. She goes and she talks to Runo. Understandable. Runo lives in town. Dan is always over that the restaurant. It makes sense to ask her.

But I wish she called Shun. And I can excuse this. Maybe she didn’t know Shun was in town (hard to imagine Dan didn’t mention it) or maybe it was easier to find Runo. So I can forgive Dan’s mom reaching out to Runo.

But if you really want to drive home the childhood friend’s thing, have Shun be the one to call her. Their moms were obviously acquaintances if not friends. It makes sense that if Shun heard Dan’s mom was looking for him, he would reach out and tell her not to worry that he would bring her son back soon.

This also mirrors the idea of loss. Shun lost his mom. Mrs. Kuso lost her son (temporarily) I just think it could have made a nice parallel.

Sh....should I be concerned how well I draw sad people? Oh well

I dont know why I desperately wanted Dan Kuso hurt/comfort 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just kinda happened. Listen, I just want the poor boy to cry. He deserves it. Spectra is just the big brother type, comforting him cause he understands. Love their friendship so much.
