🥪 Introducing... Door2Door! 🥪

Door2Door stars twenty year old possum Gigi Dempster, who lives in a rather ramshackle, podunk town in Vermont called Bendersville. After sending numerous job applications all over town with no word back, she finally lands herself a delivery driver position at an unassuming locally-owned sandwich restaurant named Dine 'n Dash. With no prior experience in the art of crafting a mighty fine sandwich or running a delivery route, Gigi is strapped in to experience the whirlwind of a first time food service job firsthand, and in an unpredictable town like Bendersville, quite literally anything can happen.

(For more information on what Door2Door is— as well as a handful of progress images— please consider checking underneath the cut!)

At last, witness unveiling of my latest project I've spent the last month conceptualizing, Door2Door! What once came about as a silly idea of basing a project after an inner-city delivery driver inspired after a certain gameplay section in Spongebob Squarepants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, it has since blossomed into one of my dearest passion projects yet!

Though, before I get into any further detail behind Door2Door and its creation, I must stress— none of the above five images hail from a lost late nineties/early 2000s Cartoon Network show, and if by chance any of them were enough to fool you into thinking they were, then that just means I achieved what I set out for! 💙✨

Now, about a month ago, I'd been watching a retrospective on the critically un-acclaimed Spongebob Squarepants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, a game I had growing up. It's important for me to mention that I had seen and personally played the aforementioned gameplay section before, though for some reason seeing it again struck me with a brilliant project idea.

Anyone who's been following me for at least a year knows that I've designed a cavalcade of candied characters for my own arcade game concept, Rascal, and initially my idea for Door2Door— which I also called Project JJ (In reference to the sandwich chain Jimmy John's)— was to give it a plot simple enough to translate into an arcade game.

The idea was that you played as a plucky delivery driver who rides through the streets of a seedy city to deliver a food order to the... er, order-ee. But your progress would be impeded by a fiendish gang of mobster alley cats who are after your sandwiches, so there would have definitely been a large cartoony element to the gameplay loop.

I drew concept art for Door2Door's protagonist, then known as Marcy, though I really wasn't vibing with either drawing. For one, making the protagonist a cat seemed a bit overdone, and I already have a cat character who's name rhymes with Marcy, so that had to go. More so, I also couldn't settle on a good spriting style, which prompted me to rethink the whole project.

Well, there is a general aura of cartooniness to Door2Door, I thought, why not just embrace that vibe whole-heartedly and reshape the project into a long-lost late nineties cartoon?

I did like the idea of having an excuse to drawing more animation cels, though if I was going to make Door2Door into something resembling a cel-animated cartoon, I was prepared to go the full distance in nailing that aesthetic, in the form of how characters are designed and the way I go about drawing each screenshot.

For those unfamiliar with cel animation, essentially it can be described as a traditional form of animation and involves objects— usually characters— being hand-inked and painted on clear celluloid sheets and placed over painted backgrounds.

Above, I've provided a visual for what a standalone 'cel' from Door2Door would look like, coupled with a hand-painted background. When overlaid on top of one another...

... you would get this! This is exactly how cartoons were animated up until the era of digital inking and coloring... but that begs the question. How am I achieving a hand-drawn and painted aesthetic if everything I've shown so far has been drawn digitally?

I have my ways! It involves a lot of studying how individual cels of animation look, and taking note of recurring hallmarks; grainy textures, paint blemishes, drop shadows, etc. Above, I've assembled a small gif of my process in composing a screenshot for Door2Door, from lineart to final product!

So, that all should loosely explain it; Door2Door is what would happen if I were in charge of a late nineties Cartoon Network show, and what you've seen here is merely the beginning. Going forward, I will be posting art of Door2Door's main cast with some additional character information and concept art for each one, though for the time being, enjoy all five art pieces I've supplied for this post— they are perhaps the biggest works of mine yet this year! 💙🏳️‍⚧️✨

me looking at all the blurry ass photos of Bucky in a suit from the leaked Thunderbolts* trailer and thinking about the suggestions about him being a congressman like:

and here's how we (by we i mean i) can still get Secretary Bucky:

Thinking about Wish again (listened to the song) and how insanely neutered the film was.

Remember when killing off Elsa's parents was a huge emotional impact? Remember when Eugene got stabbed? When Wreck-It-Ralph had...take your pick?

What happened to that?

Disney had their gumption back for a minute. Then they--wait, never mind, I figured it out, it's YOU AGAIN.

Right there.

Or a few minutes earlier, rather. When Elsa saves the empty castle and city from being destroyed by the terrible wave created from the destruction of her family's evil legacy. That was it. That, right there.

The sanitization. The reluctance to do anything huge. The moment whatever focus group, whatever executive, looked at the screeing and said "No, take out the destroyed buildings, we can't have a downer ending in this film! The kids will be sad at the sight of buildings falling!", and from that moment on, it was nothing but trash.

Thoughts on the Domino Twins

This idea was brought up by @biscuityskies on Twitter so credit to them.

But this is in reference to what Captain Rex said.

"You're exactly the kind of men I need in the 501st"

This man knew what he was talking about! Fives went on to discover the truth about the inhibitor chips, which not only saved Rex's life, but has also saved the lives of countless other men. Echo is now helping Rex get clones away from the Empire and into hiding, doing so because of the information that Fives uncovered. Fives and Echo have both been instrumental in aiding the clones during the rise of the Empire. Sometimes I feel like the show needs to address just how important those two were because it's not even just that!

They helped with

The Battle of Kamino

The Citadel

Umbara

The discovery of the inhibitor chips

The Battle of Anaxes

Getting the clones to a safe place as they are phased out by the Empire

And that doesn't even begin to cover what missions they probably helped out with off screen! When Rex picked those two shinies up on that moon, he didn't realise just how integral those two would be, not just during the war, but after it as well.

Anyway, the Domino Twins are great and I will forever be sad knowing that they are currently not fighting side by side.

I really want Mike and Abby to take the animatronics home at the end of the movie just because i keep thinking about the shenanigans they’d all get into

Like I just keep imagining this scene but it’s Abby and Foxy

I have a FNAF theory, and I wish to share a compendium of all of it's evidence and logic with you.

That theory is TalesVRWorld!

https://docs.google.com/document/d/13uEGSQ0DJQHxxYO1vbchTEBDibKXYKb9w0jZMBKOQ90/edit?usp=sharing

It's not my boldest theory (that would be my theory that FNAF 4 was a series of digital conciseness transfer experiments), and it's not my most on-point prediction (that would be multiple locations), and it's certainly not my most "Paige Wins by Doing Nothing" theory (that would be FNAF AR is in 2020 and Movie Mike is a Schmidt and NOT an Afton). BUT it is the one that I've had to put the most evidence in to support it, and you know what? It's pretty solid!

My AU uses this theory, as I initially made the theory after hearing Dawko's tales summary of Under Construction, and I actually turned the concept of Tales taking place in a VR environment into a major plot point in my AU in order for it to not mess with my own plans for the megaplex. That rolled into me realising that everything in tales DOES in fact make more sense if it all took place within a VR Environment that was created by Fazbear Entertainment. Setting Tales in a Faz Ent run VR Environment keeps tales within the world of the games, and it in and of itself answers many lore questions, so it fits the criteria for the only things that have been confirmed regarding how tales links to the games.

Those aforementioned 'links' are that some marketing makes the claim that it's in the world of the newest FNAF games (could mean SB era, could mean the Freddy in Space trilogy because 57 > 9 and Freddy in space is FNAF 57), and that it answers questions about the lore (and what I want to know is how Faz Ent got back on its feet after FNAF 6, and TalesVRWorld - before you look into everything else it solves - solves this with "with a lot of trial and error in the background where nobody could cause them real financial harm for their mistakes"). And with those two boxes ticked, that puts TalesVRWorld in the running for being a theory that could be canon.

Important note: The compendium is very unfinished. It's a Work In Progress, but I'm working on it!

And the most important bit: I made this compendium so that anyone and everyone can use this theory! For their own theories! For their AUs! So they don't feel as if they're using somebody else's AU if they want to incorporate the idea of Tales taking place in a Faz Ent run VR environment into their own AU, because now they can! Because it's not purely an AU idea, but a full-blown theory!

My Nerevarine Alvivecia is a necromancer.

Her boyfriend, Oromis aka new Sheogorath was in the Cyrodiil Mages Guild, so he completed that quest line before going to the Shivering Isles.

Yeah, they kinda break up after she absconds to Akavir and he mantles a Daedric Prince, but wouldn't it be ever so much funnier if like, Oromis killed Mannimarco the lich, only for his ex-girlfriend, an immortal necromancer, to move on with Mannimarco the god?

[heatherfield]

you are so close to convincing me to watch ouat

(also hi beloved mutual 💕)

Eeee hello beloved mutual! 🥰🥰🥰

I don't know if I should apologize or tell you to run while you still can or give you the final push to join in the craziness that is Once Upon a Time.

It is ridiculous but it's fun and might also break your heart at times.... and there's literally a blorbo (or five) for everyone! (And so many shipping possibilities, canon and non-canon, if that's your thing.)

It's a show that's so dear to my heart for better or worse and even though I couldn't recommend it to everyone, it's definitely worth a watch if you're interested!!

Oops sorry/not-sorry, once I discovered there was an artist that is extremely enthusiastic about Namari I blacked out and when I came to I had reblogged all the Namari I could see
