Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

jumping onto tumblr after watching ep 1 of mentopolis makes me really appreciate how dropout releases the episodes over time instead of releasing it all in one day.

streaming shows (or lets be real, its binging them) can be a pretty solitary thing. but when episodes are staggered like this, it feels like im watching it at the same time with a bunch of strangers online and thats beautiful.

having thoughts about Isabeau’s fashion career, and how his artistic style would evolve over time. that it may be almost surface level at the start, as he’s still clinging to his gullible persona and perhaps not letting himself fully indulge in what interests him as a person for the sake of his appearance. the clothes he makes are only ever lightly experimental: with anything too “abstract” or overly personal being restricted to forbidden concepts in his sketchbook. he sticks to the book, stays true to teachings and the clothes he’s used to learning “sell the best”. and it does sell, both due to his reputation as “a savior of vauguarde”, but also because the clothes he first designs are safe and predictable. they’re something you can wear and say “I feel warm in this”, that “I could wear this every day”. Something that you can fall back on.

and then, as both his skills & his confidence in himself as an individual evolves, the clothing changes as well. he deviates from his usual reputation of softer and sturdier materials, and begins experimenting with strange patterns and very unconventional pieces. the safe clothes still exist of course, but even those take a life of their own, morphing into garments that aren’t so hardy or overly reliable. by this point, the things he makes are made because he wanted to get the idea out of his mind, and not worry about if it’s palatable for buyers. his ideas and feelings and genuine mindset shown unapologetically, slowly but surely making designs that please himself, rather than exist to sooth others.

I was talking about this on a call the other day but one of my favorite things about Sea of Thieves is that the characters are allowed to be ugly and so wildly diverse. Even the skeletons are diverse and have compelling and fun designs.

Note that when I say ugly I don’t mean that as a bad thing - I’m a firm believer that ugly doesn’t have to be a bad word, just the same as fat doesn’t have to be. Nobody’s perfect and that’s beautiful etc etc, when I say ugly I mean “not conventionally attractive” and it’s something I wholeheartedly appreciate

Like. Player pirates are randomly generated, which can be frustrating but at the end of the day it’s refreshing to not be able to sit and put together the perfect pirate. There will always be little scars or nicks or features you didn’t choose to place there, but they’re your pirates’ features. Just a couple days ago I realized my pirate has a snake bite on her cheek, and I LOVE that it’s there, though I never would have considered it for her had I been given the option to build her from scratch.

The NPCs, too, are diverse, and allowed to be flawed, and ugly. With their crooked or missing teeth and imperfect proportions and scars and asymmetrical faces - Rare could have very easily chosen to make every last NPC a perfectly pretty face fit for a magazine, and they chose not to. It makes the characters feel a little more real, more like they’re people - I can’t tell you how often I sit and examine the models of NPCs to look at every little detail and just appreciate how imperfect they are.

And like previously stated - and perhaps the thing I appreciate the most - even the skeleton characters are widely varied. Rathbone moves with a hunched posture that hides the fact his frame is fairly small, Grimm is tall and wide in that way that Sea of Thieves builds their fat characters, one of Chi’s horns is growing from her eye socket and she’s lankier than Ruth’s sturdy frame, Horatio has arms that are just a little too long, so on and so forth.

Just… Sure, I don’t by any means love Rare as a company, but the character design we see in Sea of Thieves is some of the best I’ve ever seen. I have a lot of love for this pirate game and the amount of love the design team put into every single character they offer us

I'm kind of tempted to write an art student Buggy x model Shanks. Because all the fics about art classes with models are really far from how an actual class would pan out. I've both modeled and had someone model for me in an art class and let me tell you it's not this overly romantic thing. The nearest thing to any of the fics I've read is when a model is curious to see how they turned out. Or when the artist starts speculating about the model's diet. Not to mention how hard it is to actually get someone to model, even if it's with clothes on.

So I offer you:

Buggy being in art class extra early every day and tries his best to get better. He's one of the most hardworking students. Unfortunately, the model that they usually have fallen ill after some idiot left the window open for the entire duration of the class. It was a cold day and even some of the people who were wearing clothes had gotten chilly. Luckily for everyone in Buggy's class, Shanks still owed him a favour from a bet. Of course Buggy knew he couldn't force him to do it, but Shanks seemed not to mind so it worked out.

Unfortunately for him, Shanks was the worst model known to mankind and always found a way to make an enemy of everyone in the class. He wouldn't stop fidgeting, he moved his hand four times in the span of ten minutes and seemed to have a radar to when Buggy started sketching out his face because he immediately started trying to strike up a conversation. What was even more frustrating was that during the breaks, he never put his clothes on, opting to walk around the room and look at the unfinished works in his underwear. He would hover over Buggy with a thousand-watt smile, complimenting his work and stylistic choices. Buggy was obviously annoyed that Shanks was trying to be some kind of "seductive playboy" all of a sudden, just because people were looking at him basically naked.

He never payed it any mind, they had been friends for a while and he had always been like that. He always just channeled it with the rest of the anger at how he could never get that damned elbow right with all the moving, or the foot at that horrible angle, or why the hell was his nose shaped like that?! Were all noses this hard to pinpoint??? They've only had two other people who agreed to model, so Shanks quickly became a permanent fixture to their classes.

So annoying.

After so many attempts of Shanks to ask out his friend at what he considered "his hottest" - dressed down and in the soft light of the art room, he was so near giving up. Shanks even started going to the gym more to impress him, but nothing seemed to get through to him, in fact, he was only getting more angry at him. It took a winter day and four layers of clothes for Buggy to finally take his advances seriously.

(or smth like that, idk tbh, it was unfinished i had to scrap up something together...)

I do think this game loses a lot by not having any real origins/2 style abominations.

Both in terms of contrast with what Lucanis/spite have going on but also all the undead as well. A failed Zara experiment shouldn't be a random undead in a cavern shouldn't be an undead in the necropolis. Am I making sense?
