Shadow and Bones last episode really went off and said f those books huh?

🦇: "You know, your grandmother disapproves of you visiting your lover's private quarters before marriage."

🐉, scoffing: "That boomer."

🦇, gasping: "Where did you learn that term? I cannot believe you, Malleus. I did not raise you to be like this."

🦇: "I did not raise you to use the wrong term in a sentence. Because your grandmother is not a boomer,"

🦇: "She's a fossil L-M-A-O."

🐉: "Is she?"

🐉: "She's probably older than the very first dinosaur. Do you reckon she was there to witness how the world's crust was formed?"

🦇: "Maybe she could confirm through first-hand experience if the Big Bang theory's real, don't you think?"

Ah, the joys of pouring wine and late night conversations.

Charly cuando se tiró hizo todos los cálculos del ángulo y hasta tiró un maniquí y otros objetos para saber dónde y como iba a caer. Y eso fue en su época más desquiciada con la cabeza totalmente quemada. Genio maligno.

So I was listening to a song called Lagtrain by Inabakumori yesterday (It's a wonderful song, you can listen to it here) And I hyper focused on one of the frames and went "Huh...Y'know I could see Siffrin here." And then, well, I tried to draw it! Here's the frame specifically:

And here's the piece I made from it (Spoiler warning, just in case!):

Featuring (from right to left) Siffrin, Loop, Mal Du Pays, and what is supposed to be Ghost Siffrin! I figured I could spin the original frame into the different versions of Siffrin, since there's only really four I could recall from the game! (I know the arms are a little funky, but I tried,,)

Designs under the cut!

VRISKA:

Vriska has an extra set of arms that they can retract and extract whenever they please. However, they usually keep those arms hidden.

The long needle she's holding is her trusty sword that she's used since her pirate days. She doesn't use it as much as she used too, but it's good to keep it on her for self defense in case of an emergency.

The marks on thier neck and shoulders aren't tattoos, they're birthmarks.

Good at sewing, as she often would have to fix her coat after getting into epic pirate sword fights. Sara and Vriska are sewing buddies!

It is unknown why they're unable to sleep, but while the rest of the team sleeps they often find themselves wandering around and doing whatever they want.

Artist's note: I based Vriska's design off the fact that I wanted to make her look like a bootleg version of the og Vriska. As in "Hey that's Vriska" but also "That's not VRISKA" if you get what I mean

MALL BINGO:

Trained herself to become resistant to poison (and by "trained" I mean she just ate a bunch of poison until her body became almost immune to it... please don't try this at home.)

Often goes scavenging for items when she's doesn't feel like robbing someone. If she's lucky enough she'll find some good items scattered around because "stupid trainers often leave good shit on the ground for some reason" (due to all the items you can pick up from the ground ingame lmao)

Mal lost her leg in one of her first heists, after she and another pawmi tried stealing from the wrong person at the worst possible time.

The gun she keeps with her wasn't originally hers, it belongs to someone else.

On a more positive note, Mal has plenty of stories and tall tales to share. She learned them from the eldest in her little pawmi group, as they would often tell her stories before going to sleep. Mal will often share those same stories with Peppy Jr and Mykyie Jr.

Can and will bite you. You won't be expecting it. Be warned.

GRUNPILO:

Due to his abundantly long hair, Grunpilo often lets Mal play around with it and style it however she wants.

It is unknown how or why he picked up on puppetry specifically, but it makes him happy so who are we to judge?

Speaking of which, he creates his own puppets by hand, from simple sock puppets to marionettes on strings. The two hand puppets shown are his favorite ones though.

Sometimes he'll be found speaking to them as if they're real.

Not good in social situations or confrontation, so Mal will sometimes have to speak for him. ("EXCUSE ME! He asked for no pickles!" /ref)

EXTREMELY light, very easy to pick up.

And that's all! Only three more batches left woo, hopefully I can finish them by the end of the year lol.

Oh, this is so cool???

"In that issue, the African-American Mal kissed the Caucasian Lilith Clay goodbye, in a scene considered to be the first interracial kiss in comic book history. When editorial director Carmine Infantino objected to the scene, thinking it too controversial, editor Dick Giordano kept the scene, but colored it in blue as a night scene, to draw less attention to the moment. Giordano recalls receiving many letters about the kiss, both hate mail (including one death threat) and many supportive letters approving of the kiss."

Bonus: the set up

Happy Opening Ceremony! 🇺🇸

‘i did it for our life that we have here now’ OUR LIFE????? SINGULAR???? the collective life that belongs to the four of them…… mal can’t envision their lives being separate………

[malacandrax]

Okay I am gonna start putting doll stuff on @malacandoll !

This ones straight out the box, but I also like sewing doll/toy clothes + doing faceups+ wigs, and I also make my own dolls sometimes.

Ngl the more I think about Red and...her magic (god the way they seem incapable of doing villains WITHOUT magic...), the more I just get vibes of Gambit's powers from X-Men. Like, Gambit's powers allow him to charge anything he wants too with explosive energy- and with Red, so far we've gotten:

Maybe in film they'll reveal she can do magic beyond what we've seen so far but like, the vibes are there that Red's powers appear to just charging whatever she wants up with heart magic, mainly explosive heart magic at that.

Which Mal Oretsev do you prefer, between the one in the series and the one in the books as a whole ? In itself, they are both flat and bland characters for me. However, I will say that since the book version has flaws, it looks a bit more interesting. I think that the Mal Oretsev of the books would have been a good convincing character if he had undergone a real evolution away from Alina, just as Alina would have been a great character with a real evolution away from Mal.

Honestly book!Mal set the bar so low that show!Mal gave a good impression whenever he showed up on screen. But his show counterpart was, nevertheless, so unbelievably boring. And for some reason he didn't seem to me like he showed or felt any emotions (no shade to Archie here of course, that was purely the director's and writers' fault).

I seriously don't know which one I would prefer.

His book counterpart is so unlikable, mean, an attention seeker (especially from Alina) a bigot and, generally, an asshole. And if you take all that out, he's still boring. So the way his character was written, he was destined to fall flat. I would find it more interesting if Bardugo had given more attention and depth to his PTSD and the psychological trauma he got from his first mission to the North. Not that this would excuse his behavior to Alina, but Leigh could explore how Mal went from a careless boy to a man that experienced his own kind of horrors and matured suddenly and violently. Maybe the author could send him away from Alina (just like you said) and show us his life in the First Army and the wars he would have to fight in.

It's actually funny how Alina and Mal could shine as characters better if they were apart. While with Alarkling the opposite happened. Whenever they were together they just clicked.

the cody ko allegations going on make me so sick

[animatronic-assistant]

random thing that I decided to do and thought it'd be funny lmao

Malware, struggling to keep upright in their 1 inch heels: Yeah, I-I don’t really think heels are for me

Allegro , pointing at them and walking flawlessly in sparkly golden 6 inch heels: WEAK.

Them

Mod: OMG YES! That is hilarious! I am wheezing!!!

Today’s Blades chapter was so good. I would say it feels just like old times but that’s not true, it’s better even. The dynamics that we loved from Blades 1 is back, but now they’re even richer and more complex than ever.

The steady progression of the party learning to fight as a team again after a year apart feels incredibly satisfying, like finally figuring out the steps to a new dance.
