The most evil celebratory kiss
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#jiang cheng#wen chao#wang lingjiao#I wrote a haiku that I almost used as the caption. Here it is:#“Up on the house top-Heterosexual kiss-Your mother is dead”#...I am not very good at poetry.#There was something so funny to me about the evil couple heterosexual sloppy kiss sandwiched between all this angst.#I get it - this is to make us really loathe these two and make the later revenge much sweeter but...honestly they were so funny for this.#I still do not really know how to draw people kissing so I will do what I do best and make it funny.#There are several points in which MDZS is a dark comedy and this is one of them.#Despite how tragic this episode is...My god did it also make me laugh the hardest.#I will have comics about the other moments. Stay tuned!#edit: forgor what day of the week it was. Happy Makeout Monday!

see i can never get over 999knw because why does orv establish right after he's introduced that:
he believes his mistake is what killed the 999th turn's yoo joonghyuk
he thinks maybe he should've died before they even met
and now he's aware of the current turn, where these two things are true:
yoo joonghyuk is alive
kim namwoon is dead
imagine believing you're at fault for everything that went wrong and thinking maybe you’d be better off dead
and then ending up in another timeline that essentially confirms it. you were right! you should have died back then. don't you think so too, captain?
#orv#kim namwoon#orv spoilers#can you hear me. it's so dark in here#orvposting#this isnt even getting into how he thinks jihye blames him too (obviously just projection. but why. why would you think that#shaking him like a soda can#also on some meta level#omniscient reader’s viewpoint is kim dokja’s story right#I guess it tracks that it would be particularly cruel to knw#(...so he escapes being a character in the end. he can still have a happy ending despite it all...!

it isn't there anymore.
the mainline game events from rtdl onwards tend to form the foundations for significant turning points in the whole awtdy timeline. galacta knight made his wish during robobot, but was actually placed into the timeline much earlier. as a result he already has clear knowledge of how these events played out for meta knight, and can therefore adjust them to his liking
for the most part, he's interested in dealing with threats as quickly and efficiently as possible, and keeping total control of the people in his orbit. his overall goals are to destroy the life he stole from meta knight, and to corrupt his loved ones in whichever way will hurt him the most
in the case of triple deluxe, galacta knight goes to floralia in kirby's stead to "rescue dedede" and "prevent the spread of dark matter" caused by Sectonia's parasitic rule. kirby slept through the event and blames himself for not waking up in time to help rescue the people of the sky from their queen's corruption
at this point he still believes you can sometimes purify those who have come into contact with dark matter, and feels that if he'd been there, he could have at least tried.
#cw violence#cw angst#cw dark#not entirely sure what to cw this but it's pretty severe angst? lmk if there are more appropriate tags#cw sad kirby?? drawing him having this breakdown was actually the hardest thing i've drawn so far#anyway this was when galacta knight announced he was Much Much Stronger and more violent than anybody remembered#kirby#bandana waddle dee#galacta knight#my art#my comics#awtdy au#(spoilers for the au's endgame) despite all this the happy ending fixes most things that got messed up in the timeline one way or another.

Sorry for the lack of posts, have some more headcanons!!
#MYYY self indulgent V headcanon number 234 is that shes a huge fucking dork#i.e she was a huge bookworm as a worker#well she was a dork in general#reading. painting. dancing. all of it#but alot of that. was kinda things she had to leave with the rest of her. when she became a Disassembly Drone.#And while alot of her died in the manor. she still kept some things close.#and one of those things is reading!!!#she cringes at like 90% of what she used to read but still goes out of her way to reread the copies she finds or is given#N usually gives her copies#She acts like she hates it but still reads them alone anyway#theres a reason she has bad eyesight and its because she reads with the book 3 inches from her face in the dark#also Uzi probably makes her read Twilight at some point and laughs the entire time (they both hate it. Uzi just likes messing w/ her)#anyway i just like the idea that in a world where V is finally allowed to start her life again#she looks for the things she loved that she had to leave behind#and finds new joy in them as who she is now#she might not be that little worker anymore#but shes still the girl who loved to curl up in the library when no one would notice. reading any book she could get her hands on.#idk i just like the idea that V deep down is still just a girl who wants to have fun.#i just want her to be HAPPY#anyway do you guys wanna hear why Chappell Roan's “Pink Pony Club” is so V code- (i fall down the stage stairs)#murder drones#serial designation v#serial designation n#uzi doorman#also for context ive never read Pride and Prejudice despite meaning to#its just one of the only actual romance books i know off the top of my head#imean no offense to it. I just like joking abt V reading romance sdkfjkldsjf

I’m sure I’m not the first to point this out but the Daniel Craig–Hugh Grant–Ben Whishaw love triangle needs to be studied…
Daniel and Hugh as lovers in Knives Out, Hugh and Ben as lovers in A Very English Scandal (and, strangely, enemies in Paddington 2), Daniel and Ben as (virtually lovers) coworkers in James Bond.
And I’m so certain these guys will continue to star in the same films, because they somehow just run in that British circle of the film industry. I can’t wait.
#my comfort British men#they make me happy no seriously#these pieces of media give me good vibes despite some being very dark#you know that actors round table with Hugh grant#where he talks about AVES and goes ‘poor old Paddington’#I think about that a lot#paddington 2#paddington#knives out#glass onion#james bond#007#benoit blanc#00q#hugh grant#daniel craig#ben whishaw

Imagine if AvA 5 was just a dream and Dark ends up waking up to Chosen and them living peacefully in their house together and nothing was wrong ever and they were wives and they apologized and-
#animator vs animation#alan becker#animation vs minecraft#ava the chosen one#ava the dark lord#i want them to be happy#except for when I don’t#Dark over here recounting everything#Chosen just wants to sleep#I’d like to think that despite everything being a drea#Dark still reflects on themselves for a moment#click for better quality#i still need to find a way to fix that….#chodark

OC again gomen ... (her name is Yuma)
#my characters#she was (shocking to no one) a side character in a plot from forever ago and while i fleshed out her bg a LOT#she never got her own actual story ? the plot she was in had a lot of characters so her and her best friend myo were like... cameos#in other character arcs rip to she having her own#basically she had light powers and had a kind of whispy clear happy look (top)#and then the big bad guy corrupted her and she got dark powers#so myo and her start to think she is sick and then big bad shows up and tells myo that if he wants to help yuma - hed help#so he manipulates the two into working for the bad guys who id like to point out! think they're the good guys#so yuma keeps having cloudy and foggy memories and nightmares and she doesnt understand whats going on with her#and she tells myo who hasnt clued in yet and he tells her shes fine and shes too nice to do what she feels guilty for#and then after its all kinda said and done and the big bad dies the corruption disappears bc he was the one causing it#and at that point myo knows the horrible things hes kind of helped yuma do and the actual things yuma has done#and he goes to rem who a lot of people avoid since rem has mind reading and memory manipulation powers#and he asks if rem can help yuma forget everything bad#and rem - who is the unfortunate right hand of the big bad who feels so much guilt for everything he has done -#asks him if its what yuma wants cause it isnt his place to change it without her consent as well#bc rem was actually the one that yuma interacted with most outside of myo#but as far as actual plots and arcs rem was more important ? common? idk ? as a focus#so despite yuma having a lot of established background and drama she never had her own ... thing#but as the dark corruption gets to her she loses the clear stream vibes and is like an oozing oil spill#and it kinda festers into her becoming like an eldritch monster type being from the grief and guilt her conscious has#while polluted by darkness sooooo#she just kinda becomes a monster in the background of the plot its fine she gets better#and that was storytime in the tags bye

I've started and deleted three drafts now trying to get my thoughts into a coherent recommendation, but there's just so much.
Let's start with the basics: You should read the graphic novel if you're a fan of the original show. You just should. It's new content of your old faves, and I'm telling you now that the art and writing are great and that you should give it a shot based on that alone.
But as for exactly why I'm losing my mind over it this much...?
It... feels like watching the show. But a version of the show unafraid to explore its own worldbuilding. A version of the show where continuity and character growth matter. A version of the show without jokes written by people far too old to understand mid-2000s teens.
And it is actually, honest-to-goodness funny. I went in fully braced for a badly shoehorned "fruit loop" one-liner, and instead I got incredible deadpan asides like this:
The art, too, manages to perfectly ride the line of looking enough like the original style to be convincing, but improving on the expressiveness of the characters' faces and actions to elevate it to something arguably better than the show:
(Like, I'm being so serious when I say the fight scenes are among the best I have ever seen in comic form. I'm the kind of person who tends to go for anime over manga because the fights are harder for me to follow in little sequential snapshots, but I can tell exactly what's happening in these battles AND they still look super cinematic and cool.)
And the story. Man, the STORY.
I won't spoil any of the plot here, but it's... really good. A little winding and goofy toward the beginning, but once things get serious, it really grabs you and refuses to let go til it's done. (Much like the best episodes of the show! Funny how that works.) It has a satisfying conclusion, but it also leaves a massive door open to continue telling more stories in the setting.
And I want more stories in this universe. The threads being dangled here might be even more enticing than those left by the original show. There is potential here for an INCREDIBLE series of comics.
We just have to prove how badly we want it.
If you can't buy the book yourself right now (it's relatively cheap for a graphic novel--I think it was about $15 even with tax from my Barnes & Noble), then please at least let other fans know it exists (I wouldn't have had any idea if not for tumblr) and keep the hype going on social media. I'm stoked to see that DP is trending on tumblr, at least, and I hope the same is true elsewhere. It's a small thing, but it's something corporate decision-makers take note of.
Fingers crossed we get to see more someday. This is one series that deserves to come back from the dead.
But, whether or not we get that continuation: welcome back, Phandom. Congrats and happy release day. 💚
#Danny Phantom#DP comic spoilers#(BARELY spoilers but I did include the images so :/ )#while I'm rambling in the tags lemme say one more thing as a slightly more niche endorsement:#since he's on the cover it's not a spoiler to say Danny's evil future self from TUE plays a big role#I am happy to report that despite the blurb on the back of the book calling him ''Dark Danny''--as all official sources do--#he is instead referred to in-universe exclusively as ''Phantom''#I think that single detail goes a LONG way toward showing just how much this author truly *understands*.#she really is one of us. on the fandom's side and not the corporation's.#this is a project made with SO MUCH admiration for what made the source material special in the first place#and for how the fandom has interacted with it since#it's... it feels awesome. I was so worried this book would be bad or mediocre but it's genuinely a labor of love and I'm so happy

The fact that I've listened to Euclid HUNDREDS of times but it can still randomly hit just right and make me cry tho
#its such a gut punch /pos after the absolute journey of the rest of the album and its so pretty#its so optimistic despite some of the dark lyrics in it and it just resonates with me so much#it really feels like the musical equivalent of that point in recovery where you go 'FUCK IT IM GONNA AT LEAST *TRY* TO BE HAPPY'#and that's such a huge step when you've been that low and don't feel like you deserve it#it makes me so emotional bc ive been there and I know how much that step means#that song is probably the entire reason that one of our alters resurfaced as Vessel#sleep token#sleep token tmbte

part of me wants to make Ylva's eyes seafoam green a paler purple for The Contrast but the problem is that the deep purple she has now has the same effect on me as dark brown eyes (irresistable charm)
#how am i supposed to commit to a bright colour when she makes big dark doe eyes like that?#and it suits her! having a clearer accent colour is fun but The Vibe is different too.. ä#(ignore that ä oops)#same reason i havent changed junes eyes to something darker/ something thar pops better despite not liking the colour choice </3#in any case im very happy that ylva's eye colour goes so well with the mourn watch palette hehe#laya plays dav#oc: ylva ingellvar

I stand by my claim that the best and funniest way for Christmas to exist in Ninjago is by being introduced by another realm. I'm serious. Christians love sharing their holiday (or forcing it on others just a bit) so if there was a realm with something resembling Christianity they'd popularize that shit within the first year of the Merge.
#listen man. it's the first year of the merge. everything's in total chaos. governments are freaking out.#so what do the christian/christian-adjacent people do? they brighten everything up with some christmas cheer!#and even though the religion itself doesn't gain much traction everyone's just happy to celebrate and have a good time#cuz things have been scary and dark for a while#idk man it's just fun#cuz I'm a firm believer that Christmas did NOT exist in Ninjago previously#despite what Kai on drugs and that one cop said#but I can have my cake and eat it too#ninjago#christmas#ninjago dr#dragons rising
