when people refer to canon story-relevant kingdom hearts games as âspinoffsâ it makes me sad not only for the obvious reasons i always say but also bc like man i WISH this series had spinoffs. imagine what they could do if they had permission from nomura to truly go off the rails and ignore the greater canon for a second and just do some fun whimsical plotless thing in an alternate universe. imagine a fishing/boating game on destiny islands. kh fighting game. it is an injustice that we have been deprived of kingdom karts. can anyone hear me
#in terms of alternate gameplay and lack of reliance on plot#i feel like melody of memory is the closest thing kh has actually had to a spinoff#but even that is important in its own way in the end#union cross to a certain degree as well what with being an online multiplayer gacha type game#its original concept i would definitely classify as a spinoff game#bc it was set in a totally different world and time period and was supposed to be about customization and fun with friends#and nomura or someone said it wasnât meant to be connected to the plot#but then like. he did very much go and give it a plot. like he went back on that almost immediately#and even then. given that the game is still very much combat and exploration#even from the beginning can it really be called a spinoff? itâs just kh in a different format#iâm talking like a game in which the objective is something totally different.#racing game or cooking game or fighting game or (another) rhythm game#ace attorney style detective game. dancing game. dude i donât know#there are so many different flavors they could go with here#alas nomura is allergic to genuine whimsy which is hilarious given that this is a disney series#like he apparently was like âohhh should we really let sora in smash? would it make sense in the story?â#my brother in christ surely weâre not supposed to interpret this as canon to kh right? right????#i guess itâs just that the kh franchise has a very specific pristine vibe he wants to maintain#which is disney shenanigans as a seasoning on top of a main dish of Stone Cold Serious Anime Plot#kingdom hearts#kh#mine: kh

been wanting to do this template for months and decided to throw all three of The Faves at it â¨
#undertale#toriel#sans#chara#safeutdr#undertale art#holoskart#these were supposed to be finished for the anniversary. as you can see that Did Not Work Out.#trying to imitate a specific style took a lot more time and effort than I accounted for ahah#besides the game sprites I relied on the LINE sticker sets as guides for the shapes and very minimal shading#and since chara has so few appearances to work with I also used the sepia flashback cutscenes and one of frisk's stickers#I had a lot of fun with this challenge!!

Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so itâd be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.
Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isnât enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leoâs skills in subterfuge would be deadly.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#me back to talking about Leoâs incredibly high affinity for subterfuge#genuinely think itâs one of if not his best and most honed skill#AND ITâS A VITAL NINJA SKILL#above fighting battle tactics and the like#itâs verbal blindspots#Sun Tzuâs The Art of War literally states that âthe greatest victory is won without battleââ#and idk I think Leo would be so good at this and we see him do it in the show quite a bit but not to the amount I yearn for#but yeah like just think Leo getting sent in and his bros standing guard#of course he wouldnât be the ONLY one involved but 100% heâd be the main player#man idk I just really really love when their specific skill sets that ARENT the fighting ones are used itâs so interesting to me#like we already know Leo can easily take in a whole roomâs worth of people and know exactly how to avoid them all#we know he can manipulate manipulators into his schemes#we know heâs good at improv which is essential to the games of speech high end criminals like to play#it would be SO INTERESTING#OKAY HEAR ME OUT-#heâs asked by Big Mama to join her at a criminal ball of sorts#she needs to regain power and he needs to take down big name criminals#thus a deal#no but really itâs so cool seeing Leo specifically do his best tactics through thinking like his enemy and predicting how theyâd act

HE was the one doing that horrible shit before. that's INTERESTING!!#he gathered and gambled away souls like money. it was all just a game to him. now HE'S getting his. a sick poetic justice in a way.#i am SO excited to see if they dive into this more!! will he ever self reflect? if he does will we SEE him doing this reflection? will it#be enough to play a part in him choosing to redeem himself? or even decide if redemption is worth the effort? i feel like there's potential#with his dynamic with alastor to influence that big time + his friendship with angel will also be a major factor#also making this set made me realize the hallway scene is like their one major interaction. jfc and it's fucking HORRIFYING lmao#look i loved their pilot interaction/dynamic as much as the next person but this is just. SO much better. more things to explore.#i'm really glad in the end that they were rewritten in this way. A+

okay unironically I love so much that porter is like this world SUCKS its BAD here and it HURTS you why do you care abt it!!! and literally every single bad kid is like ngl we just hate ur ass it does not matter what ur philosophy is
#dimension 20#fantasy high junior year#not art#fhjy spoilers#its!!! gods I will Be My Ass in the tags rn. but thats so like. deliciously setting typical#like porter's desire is to transcend and his contempt for the world he's in feels. idk Real#like he plays the game bc he wants to win and be done with it. how do I word this#yknow. being a god would like. be his win state. when he gets that happening thats it his story is done he checks out#meanwhile the bad kids do actually just like playing the game lmao. like they love adventuring!#theyre so solidly Of This World. they carry the values that can only be born of it and they like having mastery over it#its a meta angle that I think is very fun specifically for d20 being in such a unique position in the zeitgeist when it first started#the rat grinders are from DnD Writ Large. porter wants to escape. but this is the bad kids' home its Their Actual Play Show#which makes it so fucking excellent to me that porter's question is somewhat of merit! its their show and it tries very hard to punish them#and they just straight up dont listen to him here lmao bc they hate him but! since the moment the academic track ended its been clear#that they save the world bc they Like Playing. With Each Others#thats what riz thinks the core of adventuring is! thats why fig stayed! and I also think thats why this hovers over elmville now and#a dead god is coming back in the school gym. porter is a shit evangelist but even if hes a good one I dont think it wouldve worked like he#wants it to. the only way he couldve escaped is if he'd not involved elmville at all. thats where the bad kids met dude#its a shitty place that fucks with them but they all come back here bc they wanna play with each others#and in that regard I think thats what the stress tokens ultimately means.

i wanted to play around with outfits after playing future redeemed, ended up watching all the xb2 cs to get a better idea of rex's character so i could give him a properly referenced outfit and then suddenly pyra and mythra (and malos) were getting outfits too (laying on the floor face down emoji)
anyways the focus was supposed to be shulk n alvis but here we are
#this took me all summer to complete#more than summer since its now fall.....#i just kept finding things to change or add so now im stamping it as done and letting it go#it was very fun tho trying to get all the references to each other or specific in game cultures#trying to make pyra and mythra look a bit like they have the opposite pieces of armor to make a full set too#my art tag#xenoblade#xenoblade chronicles#shulk#alvis#a xenoblade#idk what ppl tag for the xb2 people so i will just skip that#none of my business etc etc i was just messing around with outfits for my own amusement

#I draw kokichi n mius friendship in a very specific way. they are like kismeses but platonic#also for the kaito thing.

Headcanon i've had for a while now about how minecraft hack clients could work, similar to the headcanons about how in game chat would work.
Just sort of an explanation with some examples, obviously some hacks are pretty hard to translate into a physical thing, but i tried my best. :)
Full text can also be found under read more.
"Hack Clients" are illegal modifications of a player's attire (i.e. player skin) in order to give them an unfair advantage. The visibility of a "Hack Client" modification depends on the server a player is on. On servers such as 2b2t, these modifications are obviously visible while on stricter servers, such as Hypixel, hackers will try to be more subtle, often hiding modifications underneath clothing.
Eyewear: Modified for use of visual hacks (i.e. x-ray. fullbright, esp, etc.), the easiest to hide from moderators.
Footwear: Modified for use of hacks such as Anti-Knockback, High-jump, and other similar hacks.
Mechanical Braces: Used to allow players to move with otherwise impossible reaction times, most often used for PVP. Completely illegal on most servers, players will attempt to hide them underneath clothing but often fail.
Leg brace: Used for b-hopping.
Arm brace: Used for kill-aura and aimbot.
#mcyt#mcyt fanart#technically? i mean its based around mcyt stuff so im not sure i should tag the game even though this isnt specifically mcyt#accidentally hit ctrl z and had to rewrite the image descs like three times so sorry if theres any mistakes#lmk if theres anything i need to fix/change#le dood#tiggady tags#id in alt#anyways fit specific headcanons coming tomorrow (theyre mostly done but i gotta finish some of the text)#just wanted to get this out first to set up a basis#lots of ppl rbing are tagging this as mc so i guess ill add it#sorry to all of mneblr who has mcyt blocked i prommy its just bc thats where my inspo was from#minecraft#minecraft headcanons

"A photo of Dad, Mom, and their children."
In my constant visits to see Yuichiro I would snoop around the entire lab for hints of backstory, and upon finding this photo the first time I was emotionally destroyed. Do you think this may be one of the few if not only pictures they have of Hub while he was still alive?
For me, it's even more interesting that the description gets more specific with the first few games. Starting with a "a photo of a dad", then implying it as if it was Lan's dad (quoted above), then finally clarifying the children as "two smiling boys".
#âwell duh of course that's it it's on yuichiro's deskâ-- yes but you don't know for sure I wanted to Be Sure#so I looked for it in every game and now that I'm at BN3's endgame I'm crying again-- the image seems even clearer now#but can I see it please? pls ( J; c; )J#now as for why I chose this specific setting#lan said hub died when he was 1 yr old#so as much I know parents take 30 million pics of their babbies this one probably was a very significant one with everyone altogether#the more I piece everything together the more my heart is being crushed into dust#doodle-daas#comics#lan hikari#netto hikari#yuichiro hikari#haruka hikari#hub hikari#saito hikari

Anything from Volumes 1-3 that is setup that you don't think is given enough attention or respect for good setup?
Sidenote to this:
Open seat with no person in it + Salem having someone looking for the Choice Relic was hinting at Summer Rose. Did we have anything hinting at her pre Beacon's Fall or just things that she fits given additional context?
regarding summer specifically, while i wouldnât call them hints per se, there are a handful of beats in v1-3 that smell like foreshadowing to me:
the first is âshe was right about you; such arrogance.â â cinder might well be referring to salem here, of course. however. what strikes me about this remark is that arrogance is not a characteristic that salem seems to perceive in ozma; rather she describes him, in her soliloquies and songs, as a self-destructive, deceitful, manipulative fool blinded and trapped by his faith in the old gods. cowardly. fallen from grace. think of what she says to oz in 8.9âlook how youâve diminished, how youâve lessened yourselfâshe sees him groveling at the feet of tyrannical monsters and sees debasement.
does it follow for salem to characterize ozpin to cinder as, primarily, arrogant? iâm not convinced it does. but summer rose? well⌠hm. consider, also, that the full line is âthis whole time, right beneath our feet⌠she was right about you; such arroganceâŚâ <- i think it is more likely than not that âsheâ is someone inside the brackets of âour,â and in context âourâ is either [cinder + ozpin] or [cinder + her associates physically present at beacon].
in the event that âsheâ is not part of âourâ the more naturalistic phrasing is âbeneath our feet⌠salem was right about youâ â because âsheâ otherwise has no antecedent. of course, some allowance here for this to be a narrative choice not to name salem yet, but weâre one (1) episode off from revealing her face and by this point weâve known for a while that cinder works for someone else, so the choice to drop the name here or in the volume credits is of fairly trivial importance. unless of course cinder isnât talking about salem.
second: âOh! We've also stopped some bad guys, too! I guess it's like they say: "like mother, like daughter"! I still wonder why Ozpin let me into the school earlyâŚâ [laugh track] â obv this part of rubyâs address to summerâs memorial headstone foreshadows ozpinâs conspiracy and team strqâs involvement therein. but it also foreshadows this exchange:
RUBY: We donât have to kill you to stop you, and we will stop you. SALEM: Your mother said those words to me⌠she was wrong, too.
and i think it bears pointing out that ruby is wrong here, and later in the volume qrow specifically calls attention to this and lays out why sheâs wrong. team rwby didnât stop the bad guys; they cut off one avenue of attack and cinder circled around from a new direction that took advantage of torchwickâs imprisonment, and this also resulted in the public break between ozpin and ironwood which eroded the cohesion of the inner circle. ergo, ruby thinks she stopped the bad guys but in the long run the consequences of the breach all benefited salem.
looks into the camera like im on the office.
like mother, like daughter!!!
further, that sequence of events ultimately leads to the final confrontation between her and torchwick â wherein he declares âif you canât beat them, join âem,â and shortly gets eaten by a grimm right after making it clear that he intends to kill her. torchwickâs death is thematically motivated â a narrative rejection of his cynical every-man-for-himself, dog-eats-dog outlook â but consider that:
summer rose, if she is indeed salemâs willing agent, is certainly at beacon tonight â because sheâd be the one who stayed behind to hold the fort.
summer is thus the one salem instructs to âreinforce our numbers at beacon,â meaning the grimm; that instruction only makes sense if the person receiving it can communicate with or command grimm. ergo, summer must have some degree of control over grimm.
ruby is disarmed and on the ground getting beaten by a man who fully intends to kill her, and a grimm swoops down out of nowhere to eliminate him faster than he can blinks. and then⌠the grimm rears up, roaring at her, and comes down with a sweep of its wings that creates a blast of air that pushes her away. that isnât aggression!! thatâs a defensive threat display!! (the feilong in v4 does the exact same thing â trying to push the boat away). itâs ruby who charges the gryphon, and while it lunges forward in reaction to her charge, all that happens is she gets her feet on its head and pushes off to leap over it, and the grimm goes fucking flying so hard it crashes into the shipâs interior and never emerges. the point being,
math.
itâs plausible that the grimm was drawn to torchwickâs murderous rage. but the way it behaves immediately after it swallows him â that very clear âget away from me pleaseâ body language, and ruby -apparently- kicking a grimm the size of a goddamned clydesdale dozens of feet and then through the hull of a literal warship? ruby is strong, but sheâs not⌠that strong. but if the grimm didnât want to engage her and propelled itself under and past her at the same time as she vaulted off its head? that would explain what happens perfectly â rubyâs kick altered its launch trajectory just enough that it crashed.
minutes later, someone loyal to salem scraped a very badly injured cinder off the top of beacon tower and left ruby alive where qrow would find her. salemâs vested interest in keeping ruby alive is VISIBLE throughout the battle for beacon, and notably include a perfect opportunity to capture her while sheâs in a coma atop beacon tower that isnât taken â suggesting that salem makes her singular attempt to capture ruby solely to reassure cinder that Something is being Done.
and if summer rose has command over grimm and was at beacon that night⌠the gryphonâs behavior is exactly what iâd expect if all the grimm had marching orders to insure this one girl in particular â the spitting image of their commander â doesnât come to serious harm. thereâs a nonzero chance that gryphon did in fact save ruby On Purpose!
âŚand that happens in the context of a fight between ruby and the bad guy she thought she stopped (but she was wrong), who joined salem because âif you canât beat em, join em.â (salem voice) she was wrong, tooâŚ
also
<- like mother like daughter. summer had a nevermoreâs eye view of the battle for beacon, in this essay i will â
third: this one is something i didnât really Think About until v9 and specifically the v9 ost dropping, but some of the things cinder says in v2-3 strike me as like â she got that from summer im sure of it. for example, in midnight, cinderâs view of huntsmen is that theyâre free, they have power, they can go anywhere and do whatever they want, and rhodes never contradicts this. where did she get âhuntsmen and huntresses should conduct themselves with honor and mercyâ? who taught her the aspirational moral ideal?
summer rose, maybe.
but in the deeper sense,
where did cinder get the âdestinyâ conceit? her underlying beliefs about how the world is are a product of her childhood, but the overt framing of fate/destiny isnât present in midnight; nor has salem ever spoken of destiny and her philosophical views are in many ways a rejection of destiny â salem does not believe in fate, she is the woman who dedicated her life to toppling the gods.
and on close examination this looks like yet another suspiciously summer rose shaped hole!! âyouâre special, ruby [âŚ] special the way your mom was special [âŚ] it was said that those born with silver eyes were destined to lead the life of a warrior.â â in after the fall, ozpin gives coco an entire pep talk whose central conceit is embracing and submitting to the turns of fate â sacrifice âshow them gods and deities/blind and keep the people on their kneesâ & guide my way âyou were born to hypnotize them all/they all said their prayers/can you hear me up there?â
cinder, of pyrrha: âpeople assume sheâs fated for victory, when she's really taking fate into her own hands. interesting. add her to the list.â & âitâs not about overpowering the enemy; itâs about taking away what power they have.â
<- that second statement is salemâs strategic doctrine, through and through. but the âpowerâ cinder is talking about here is derived through manipulating the perception of destiny; the self-fulfilling prophecy. the invincible girl cannot be touched because she makes subtle adjustments to insure that no one is able to try. it is pyrrhaâs belief in destiny that destroys her, as it destroys ozma. ozpin invokes fate to justify and explain his choices. those born with silver eyes are destined to lead the lives of warriors.
summer rose was destined to live and die fighting the grimm â so the world promised her. maybe she believed, maybe she felt like she had no choice but to accept her prescribed fate. until she met salem, and took fate into her own hands. made a choice. broke the chains. itâs about taking away what power they have, like salem did when she tore the scales from summerâs eyes, like summer did when she refused her destiny and joined hands with the grimm instead.
what does summer rose look like through cinderâs eyes? she was a huntress. she was literally destined to be one of the greatest huntresses in history, a hero, the shining pillar upholding the world order that chose the enslavement of children as a fair price for peace. fate dictated that she be the icon, the idol, the embodiment of the system that brutalized and subjugated cinder â she had every privilege cinder could ever dream of, freedom and security and a home, a loving family â and she chose to walk away.
and if they talked about that like, ever, and specifically if summer talked about that warriorâs destiny as a cage, a curse she had to escape â is it any wonder that cinder would adopt that framing to make sense of what happened to her? if summer rose was fated to stand at the pinnacle, then does it not follow that cinder fall was fated to be ground into the foundations? and likewise, if summer rose can shatter her pedestal and fall from grace, then cinder fall can shatter her chains and rise. summer proves that the idea of destiny is powerful but not inviolate. and it is hollow, it is a lie, a fiction, and that means it can be taken away. revealed as a deception. destroyed.
anyway
to the broader question
i think people really, really do not give the jaundice arc enough credit for the long-term set up itâs doing.
(or the very overt textual statement from THE HISTORY PROFESSOR! placing the blame for the violent radicalization of the white fang squarely on human bigotry and persecution of faunus in general; the white fang arc is clunky and hamstrung by the inadequacy of its vocabulary, but the fandom talking point that the narrative perspective on this subject has âevolvedâ or âimprovedâ is just. not true. v1 is very emphatically clear that 1. terroristic violence is not activism, 2. ascribing the terroristic violence of a few to an entire minority group to rationalize bigotry is bigoted in and of itself and completely unacceptable, and 3. violent radicalization is created through relentless discrimination and hate, which creates a self-reinforcing circle wherein the justifiable outrage of the persecuted outgroup and the extreme violent reactions provoked by the persecution are distorted into a justification for further persecution by those of the in-group who materially benefit from perpetuating this cycle!!! all of this is explained in an almost afterschool special manner by the main character faunus rights activist and the history professor!!! in volume one!!! what changed is that the writers developed the skill and vocabulary necessary to weave these ideas into their storytelling in a more effective and more cogent way!!! literally begging the rwby fandom to start listening to the actual words the characters say)
ahem. the jaundice arc lays so much of the groundwork for jauneâs and rubyâs character arcs reaching all the way to v9 and undoubtedly beyond; it sets up the first pieces of the ozlem fractal; it foreshadows the white fang arc and sets up blakeâs character arc of self-reclamation and figuring out how she wants to use her voice as an activist; it draws attention to the misogynistic cultural norms that define and are defined by the history between ozma and salem; it lays the foundation for the scene in v2 where ozpin questions blake, which hits the way it does because we have the context of anti-faunus harassment occurring openly at ozpinâs school and nobody doing anything about it, and by extension is the first stroke of the salem-faunus connection that is almost certainly the keystone holding the entire narrative together because it is her relation to the faunus that provides the key to decipher the lost fable.
the jaundice arc is a crucial load-bearing pillar that supports the entire narrative and people revile it because nobody in this fandom can be fucking normal about jaune. lmao
#in general i donât think rwby gets enough credit for how much gets set up in the first two volumes#or how well the dominoes falling in v3 is executed#like the fandom gets properly excited when things from v1-2 come to fruition but like#i think thereâs a really strong tendency across the board to kind of#mentally compartmentalizing the beacon arc as this sort of#experimental prelude to the actual story. the writers figuring out how to write by trial and error#and by extension to treat these long game narrative culminations as just. ''callbacks''#or post-hoc stitching together from the raw material of the early volumes#when really itâs just. the story was planned out from the start! lol!#''oh but the maidens didnât even exist until v3'' salem and cinder are in the first goddamned episode.#their narrative arcs were planned in advance but probably had a hole (like âwhat is cinder hoping to get out of this specificallyâ)#that was being actively workshopped while they worked on the first couple volumes#until someone came up with the idea that the keys to the magic vaults salem needed to open#could be people whose magic you can steal and thatâs what cinder wants#this is how planning a story works you block things out roughly and refine more and more as you go!!!#ahh!!!!!#there is too much foreshadowing and critical setup in v1-2 for it to be anything but on purpose and planned#nobody has any business being surprised at this point when seeds planted in v1-2 sprout. and yet
