In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.
He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!
You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).
Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!
But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!
#this is a really long winded way to say i really really really really hate new horizon's storyline and player role#i really hate that not only your house but the entire TOWN. the whole COMMUNITY you're a part of is owed to tom nook's business#i really hate the “vacation getaway package” angle because it shows just how commercialized the entire premise of nh is#and how lost the game is in its original core concept#animal crossing is about the experience of moving to a new town and becoming a part of that community#just to compare: all past ac games have a similar opening#you're on a bus or train or taxi to someplace new. a stranger strikes up a conversation and you get to know them before arriving#new horizons opens with you at customer service desk filling out an client application before a flight.#in prev games working for nook in the tutorial is meant to be demeaning. you want it to be over with so you can actually start living life#but in new horizons working for tom nook IS your life. and it's so rewarding! don't you feel rewarded?#you aren't a person. you aren't a new neighbor. you're tom nook's client. and then his unpaid employee. and the game insists it's fun to be#that's how void the game is#because it's bad enough that a rpg life sim got turned into a sandbox game where you have to build the town yourself#but the only reason why you're building it is because the landlord who you're in debt to TOLD you to build it.#everything is a rewards program! everything is a tour service! be sure to do your daily tasks to earn nook bucks to spend on nook merch!#that really sucks imo.#i mean. the entire game is based around the vacationing industry. of course it all feels fake and temporary. it's only a vacation.#long post#rant#not art#god the fact that your starter villagers can't even decide where to live you have to decide for them#i've never played a game that does the opposite of handholding#where instead it's the PLAYER who has to handhold the npcs through everything. and newsflash!! it's really exhausting and boring

hi!! I think your art is *so cool* o(≧∇≦o)
do you think you could draw more moshang? either post canon or that au you did last time?? (baby mobei has my heart and all I own)
(˵ •̀ ᴗ •́ ˵ ) oh! how about return to childhood—moshang flavor?
don't question this king, shang qinghua, he knows what he's about
#just because junshang is going to throw a fit and doesn't know how to capitalize on a good thing doesn't mean mbj is the same#svsss#moshang#mobei jun#shang qinghua#mbj#sqh#return to childhood#he's finally small enough to fit on sqh's lap!#he's going to have sqh carry him *everywhere* until his qi evens out and he becomes full-sized again#maximize the spoiled prince vibe - sqh is going to be exhausted by the end of this he is not having as much fun as sqq#anyway the demon court is just going to have to bite their tongues and deal with it otherwise they'll have a full sized mbj come after them#though tbh this would be a fascinating au because yeah... just like with lbh there's probably enough people who'd be willing to gun for mbj#when he's small and severely weakened#but i love the idea of his throne suddenly being to big for him so he just makes sqh assist (cuddle)#anyway anon thanks for the prompt!! i am SO happy to draw more moshang and welcome any and all suggestions#either just about them or about the childhood!au#i really should play with the concept more... i have not been able to get into a writing mood lately but it'd be nice to finally write#a svsss fic - i've got at least a couple for both mdzs and tgcf after all#until then though: art!

I think you might have been a father to me, once.
You used to be more than just another man who hurt me in my life.
Reference pic!
#can you imagine coming to terms with the fact that the one who hurt you might have also been a human?#can you imagine even a monster having their good moments? as fleeting as they might have been?#do those moments even matter? they happened- they were real- but they don’t outweight the pain they caused in contrast#DO YOU THINK STANLEY STILL REMEMBERS FILBRICK AS HIS FATHER???#humanizing abusers is such an interesting concept to me#not a fun one- but interesting#it doesn’t rectify or even justify any of the things they’ve done to their victims#it doesn’t change anything at all- it doesn’t necessarily make us feel pity- understanding- or forgiveness towards the abuser#it might even just make us feel worse about them#but it levels the playing field#that despite both victim and abuser being human- the abuser actively chose to act they way they did#no one was forcing them to inflict pain#it was a conscious choice to make another feel less than human- while]st stripping themselves of their humanity at the same time#they chose to be worse than they had to be#they experienced the same joy- pain- love- and hate as the victims. they shared those feeelings and experiences with the victims#they were human#but it doesn’t really change anything#my art#art#gravity falls#gravity falls fanart#filbrick pines#stanley pines#gravity falls stanley#stan pines#artists on tumblr

Ectoberhaunt Day 18: Unravel
Jack sat at his dining table, feeling pleased with his new invention. He scanned the room, waving around his prototype Fenton Ghoul-Glass, searching for spectral activity (albeit not expecting much.)
Danny walked into the kitchen, sending his dad a questioning glance. Jack beamed at him, launching right into an explanation.
As he pointed the glass to look at Danny, though, the words died in his throat.
For where his son should have been, stood the Phantom of Amity Park.
#unraveling secrets? get it? haha ok ill see myself out#danny phantom#ectoberhaunt23#ectoberhaunt#eh science#day 18 unravel#danny fenton#danny#phantom#jack#for anyone wondering this concept was based on the lens of truth from ocarina of time/majoras mask#with a dp spin on it#my art#ALSO IF ANYONE WANTS TO USE THIS IDEA YOU HAVE FREE REIN TO DO SO#my fav thing about the dp fandom is everyone playing w each others ideas. such a fun sandbox

#in the game files the last image of hunter's ascension ending - the one with nsh - is named “embrace”#as a side note#i typically as i like to interpret slugcats as...#intelligent of course as they can draw and sign in downpour lore...#but in a different way from humans. in a different way from iterators.#that's just how i like to interpret them though - if you like to interpret slugcats in a more anthropomorphized/humanized fashion#i'm glad for you and i'm glad you're having fun too :)#anyways i wrote this comic the way i did because i felt like it was the best and most succinct way#to get the message i was trying to express across#so hunter's thoughts are pretty straightforwardly written despite the more complex concepts behind them#i mean they are also made and raised by an iterator so that could come into play#maybe i could have thought of a different way but eh i already drew the comic#rain world#rw hunter#no significant harassment#flickerdoodles#comic#long post#rw spoilers#art

Some tgau-adjacent doodles while I take a lil break from coloring the comic :)
I was looking through some old notes and found this concept from way back in 2017 that I’d forgotten about!
For being the cosmic personification of destruction, it seems odd that Pennywise only hangs out in a small town in Maine, isn’t it? What if there was…. more than one thing that fell out of the sky all those centuries ago….?
Meet Azrael! They’re from a small town somewhere in the midwest that has a lot of local legends about that creepy angel statue in the old cemetery where children have been known to go missing. It’s also rumored that if you’re lucky (or unlucky) you can hear the ravens singing an old gospel song…
Azrael’s approach is a little different than Pennywise’s— instead of destruction through fear, Azrael has a calming presence that, despite their appearance, makes it so people can’t help but feel safe, even cared for…and wouldn’t a hug make you feel better, little one…?
#extras#doodles#it was fun to play with this concept#and fun to imagine how much they would ALSO hate having siblings#like two territorial cats

Crimes Against Existence
The High Queen Phantom has expressed concerns about the state of law within the Mortal Realms.
Walker, sensing a chance to redeem himself in her eyes, volunteers to go out and report the state of the lands to the Queen. She seems pensive, but agrees. Under strict conditions that Walker must NOT detain nor arrest any mortals that would not have been taken into custody or otherwise punished by mortal authorities in the same situation.
She hands him an addendum to his book the Duke has written up for him to use as reference while he operates in the Mortal Realms.
He reluctantly agrees and makes his way to a mortal settlement with that he can sense has strong criminal influence.
He follows the trail to one of most crime-infested cities on Earth: Gotham. His guards clean out an old office, and he sits himself down into a desk.
He turns on the TV and tunes into a random channel. A man who seems like he'd fit with the Far Frozen is locked in combat with a skilled mortal in some sort of outfit. After a bit of research, Walker learns these are the rogues and vigilantes.
Well, this explained quite a few of the High Queen's problems. Though she doesn't know of them just yet.
Now, how do we rectify that?
#dpxdc#dcxdp#dp x dc prompt#dp x dc#Walker#Ghosts have gender set to optional. The ones that didn't start out as human or anything like that just never had it ingrained.#Walker can absolutely alter how any authorities operate when they interact with him even if slightly.#I mean think about it.#The only reason that hasn't happened was cause he stayed in the Infinite Realms before#Walker's concept is a little hodgepodge.#I'll flesh it out a bit more later#Vlad is the Duke of the Infinite Realms#redeemed vlad#good parents jack and maddie#Why not?#Walker is Maddie's father#Although not explicitly said.#I find it a very fun concept to play around with I mean come on!#Walker hates Arkham Asylum#They can't rehabilitate or keep their inmates for the life of them#And incompetence is just as bad as breaking the rules#I realize that I've just thrown ghosts into Gotham for various reasons lately#And I'm working on it#Danny's the Queen I would trust

Thank you all for voting in the poll to decide who was going to be the leader of the band! It turned out to be such a close race!
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#madam lan#A-qing#Band AU#(Reminder that Madam Lan's design inspiration goes to Qourmet!)#Madam Lan may have been the winner per vote count but there were so many strong advocates for A-Qing!#I played around with a few versions of what the 'poll winner' art was going to be and ultimately decided I wanted them both.#As any good theater love knows though - The battle for leadership was a ruse. They *all* get a chance to be featured.#Cooperation was the real end goal! However I do think these two have the best frontman energy of the group.#Or at least 'crowd favourite' energy. I also really loved hearing what people thought their vocal styles would be like!#This was probably one of my favourite polls to do and I love drawing these characters a lot B*)#I'd love to spend a bit more time in this AU so count on me bringing it back.#One thing I keep feeling like I need to redeem myself on is Madam Lan's Translucent skirt. I have *not* done the concept justice yet.#It is such a crack-platonic ship but I want to think Madam Lan and A-Qing would enjoy each other's company.#Possibly also with JYL as well. They can be like mutually beneficial therapy dogs to each other.#Madam Lan never got to see her kids grow up into teenagers after all. She only had sons. Never daughters.#Even if she saw her kids once a month we do know she treated them with so much love and kindness.#She would bite the shit out of YZY for yelling at JYL. What a sight to see. A-Qing would also start biting (for fun).

Angst!
Close up and process pieces:
It’s bizarre to think that Loop went from ‘yeah they’re a pretty neat character but not my fav’ to I NEED-I NEED TO SEE THEM IN FICS AND ART! I have a few paintings now of them I’ve done, but have also started a short (ish) comic about them, Siffrin, and the King (post isat)
soooooo, if that sounds neat and if you like my art and want to see behind the scenes stuff, check out my Ko-fi :3 anyone who leaves a tip will see some WIPs and sneak peaks of projects before they get posted
#them <3#watercolor#traditional art#in stars and time#isat loop#isat siffrin#isat fanart#I’ve just been having fun drawing the isat family :)) there’s so many dynamics to play with and depict!#it’s my enrichment is to put characters in situations#Not tagging their ship because I don’t view them that way but if y’all do I don’t care#I’ve survived the throes of the undertale multiverse fandom so the concept doesn’t faze me#add a dash of my asexual ‘I don’t understand the appeal normally’ and yeah#I just like seeing characters being vulnerable emotionally and cared for (and go through the horrors)#Also the foreground foliage was totally not a way to avoid drawing siffrin’s feet shhhhh ~totally~ not#work smarter not harder and just add plants#Okay but if you do use their ship name can it please be sloop because that’s an actual type of ship and makes it a pun#I think I saw something about it in a post earlier in the summer and that is very amusing :3#my art
