currently rotating rose red around in my brain so here's some outfits i designed for her (this is pre-meeting cinders btw)! bonus design notes under the cut :3
nude
i knew immediately that i wanted rose to be short and built like a brick shithouse. she is dense and compact and impossible to knock over. also, she gets to be a bear girl because everyone in my ouatis au is an animal eared person. its a fun concept i saw trawling the tumblr tag and i have decided it is very canon.
absolutely covered in freckles
yes those are top surgery scars. very recent in fact! its a cross between unrealized gender things and the pain of breasts that are just. too big. always.
her tail is usually too small to be seen from this angle but i wanted to show off her tiny red puff
most of her scars are from military combat with the exception of the top surgery scars and the one on her left hand which came from when she punched a window at the age of 15 defending snow from one of their dads getting super duper upset b/c snow was starting to date
she is 4'10" and so proud of it. will kick your ass if you're a dick about it
pajamas
nothing much to say here, she just. doesn't care all that much. tank top and sweat pants are the perfect combo of temperatures for her.
also she wears heart patterned boxers and we love her for that
military work uniform
do you know how hard it is to design a military uniform when you don't usually give a shit about the military. i spend so many hours going down worldbuilding subreddits and forums before i figured out something i was happy with. anyways! this is a non-combative officer's work uniform (aka the uniform rose wore when she was commander of the prison cinders was in). i picked red because it's the color most strongly associated with cole's army, but i figure that soldiers in combat would have better camouflage built into their uniforms.
the patch on her left shoulder (the one with the deer) is the symbol for colonel. it's also mirrored on a smaller scale on her breast. cole's army uses animals to mark higher ranks
the other shoulder patch marks her current assignment
i liked white as an accent color because of its prevalence in the album. also it looks nice!
the sleeve stripes and the chevrons both indicate that she is a very important officer
the other patches on her breast are the simplified coat of arms for her noble house (the house of grimm) and all of the medals she has earned in her 11 years of service
military dress uniform
the fancy version of her uniform for Events and Public Appearances. it's a bit darker in tone for the sake of visual interest and has a lot more accessories. this one was a nightmare to color i stg but i'm super happy with the way it turned out.
you get to see all her medals! she has complicated feelings on them but they are shiny and look very nice so.
the stripes, chevrons, and deer are all the same as the work uniform for some easy visual shorthand of her rank
the only time rose will ever wear a tie or any other neck decoration because it's regulation.
i liked the way a black undershirt looked over a white one, no other reason lol
the bear medal is because the bear is a symbol of her noble family. most people have a cougar of some sort instead.
the sword and the lion are both special awards granted specifically by cole. the lion in particular came from her first deployment where she accidentally changed the tides on the invasion of the perrault (cinders' planet) and became a war hero/propaganda piece at 19
the boots have buckles. they are never quite tight enough and its annoying.
casual dress
off duty, rose wears crisp, well tailored masc outfits. she knows how to dress herself to look effortlessly important due to being raised noble but she doesn't think too hard about it.
she wears shorts instead of full pants whenever she can get away with it. snow hates this.
no she is not buttoning up all the way. why would you make her put this much effort into it. she's hotter with it undone
fun fact: i initially made her vest and shorts green but i decided that blue looked nicer
fancy dress
i've elected to go with a 1700s inspired look for the nobility. it's very fairytale-esque and also allows me to have fun with it! i wanted to do more embroidery, but i wound up not having the patience for such a thing. ah well, what i've got looks nice enough.
rose usually wears cool colors in her formal outfits. this purple is a particular favorite of hers because it goes really nicely with her hair and ears without being obnoxious
once again, rose out here avoiding any sort of neck accessory or hat. accessories that annoy her for $10,000
the lilac undershirt is not connected to the off-white trousers it's two separate pieces.
the gold accents cut a very striking figure and also look very pretty <3
the boots are supposed to be longer and pointier but idk how well i pulled that off aha
she's very handsome and i love her
#the mechanisms#ouatis#once upon a time (in space)#rose red ouatis#planet's doodles#im really proud of this btw outfit design is not a strong point of mine but i think i really pulled it together for rose#please love and appreciate my blorbo#verse: dog star in ursa major

ASS RESPECT 3: Garrus and Wrex go to White Castle
It's done. We did it. This weekend Ari (@freakpatrol) and I finished the Mass Effect trilogy. The third game is... massively flawed. There's *a lot* about it that I did not like, but despite that, it had some really profound aspects that I won't soon forget.
THE GOOD
MISCELLANEOUS
Shepard can run much longer now
They brought back weapon mods
The armor system is pretty decent, allows for a lot of customization
You can heal in battle using medi-gel again
Garrus is able to be romanced
ENEMIES
There are three factions you go up against in Mass Effect 3. Primarily, the Reapers & their forces, Cerberus, and to a lesser extent, the Geth. I'm here to talk about the Reapers' forces. In terms of design & background, they are peak. BioWare really went all out with them. They essentially took the idea of the Husks and how they are genetically altered, cybernetically enhanced humans, and applied that to most of the other races seen throughout the series. The process leaves them as former shells of themselves, the origin race barely being distinguishable. It's the perfect body horror and totally up my alley. A few of them that really stood out to me:
Cannibals
Harvested Batarians. They have a tendency to eat corpses they find on the battlefield, hence their name
Brutes
Unique in that they are a combination of Turians & Krogan. They remind me of the Tank from Left 4 Dead. Very fun to rip apart with a shotgun
Banshees
Harvested Asari, possibly specifically Ardat-Yakshi? Wasn't really clear. They resemble the Spitter from Left 4 Dead and function similarly to the Summoners from DOOM 2016. Ari HATES these things. Every time one of them screamed I'd hear "Oh I hate that noise"
SQUADMATES
The only new squadmate that really matters in 3 is Javik. You find him on a colony planet that's been overrun by Cerberus. He's a Prothean that's been in cryostatis for the last 50,000 years; when the Reapers last attacked. This is our first time SEEING what the Protheans looked like, and honestly they're pretty cool. Prothean society draws heavy inspiration from Rome & its structure, so you can imagine what Javik is like. He's a soldier; very cold & calculated, carries a lot of baggage knowing he failed his mission & his people perished, which manifests as him being a total dick, but we like Javik, so he gets a pass. The only thing I find disappointing is how he was included in the story, I'll elaborate on that later.
STORY BEATS
Okay, so let's be clear here: the story in the third game more or less sucks major balls. Turns out that's because the lead writer for the first two games left to work on fucking Star Wars: The Old Republic??? That said, there are some really profound moments throughout the story that I absolutely adore, even if they break my heart.
The first being summoning Kalros to fight the Reaper destroyer on Tuchanka. Before you run in to the arena to set off the hammers, Wrex stops you to say
You've been a champion to the Krogan people, a friend of Clan Urdnot... and a sister to me. To every Krogan born after this day, the name "Shepard" will mean "hero!"
HANDS DOWN my favorite Wrex quote.... Just. Gah. I love his development throughout the trilogy. Going from a grumpy merc with no purpose to the fearless leader of the Krogan people. It fills my heart with joy. He also calls Garrus his friend............ THEY HATED EACH OTHER IN THE FIRST GAME!!! NOW THEY'RE FRIENDS REMINISCING ABOUT THE OLD TIMES. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!
Still on Tuchanka, this next moment hit me HARD. I can't remember the last time I cried at a video game, but this fucking got me.
Kalros has defeated the Reaper by pulling it fucking underground. We're at the Shroud ready to disperse the Genophage cure across Tuchanka. Except the Shroud has been damaged, it's coming down, and the STG (basically Salarian armed forces) has sabotaged it to prevent curing the sterilization plague. Mordin walks into the elevator leading up to the top of the Shroud, his final conversation with Shepard goes
Shepard: I'm sorry Mordin: I'm not. Had to be me. ... Mordin: Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Hundreds of feet in the air, amid explosions, Mordin hums the same Salarian scientist tune he sang to Shepard in the second game. He pauses, the sabotage has been overridden, the cure is being dispersed; the scientist looks out over the Tuchanka skyline and smiles. Peace has been made with his fate, he can die happy knowing his wrong has been corrected. He picks up singing his song, but before he can finish the verse, the top of the Shroud explodes. That's the last we see of Mordin Solus.
Compounding the loss of Mordin, during a conversation prior to the events of Tuchanka, he tells Shepard that the Genophage needs to be cured. He does not relent that it was the correct thing to do for the time, but the circumstances have changed and it needed to be stopped. Shepard also asks him what he plans to do after the war had been won. Mordin talks about spending his final days on a warm beach, collecting seashells. The commander retorts saying he would go crazy within an hour, the Salarian responds saying he might run tests on the seashells.
I was really torn up about Mordin for a few days following this LMAO. He really grew on me over the course of the 2nd and 3rd game, hands down one of my favorite characters. Seeing him go sucked a lot, but I'm glad he was able to do it on his own terms. Curing the Genophage was the right thing to do, and I think it really added a lot to his character. He gave up his life so many, many Krogan could live. I love that a lot.
There's one last moment that really stuck with me.
The team is on Rannoch, the Quarian home world. They just defeated a Reaper that was transmitting a signal to control the Geth. Besides controlling the Geth, the Reaper transmission was also upgrading the synthetics. Their consciousness was on par with that of an alive being. Legion reveals to Shepard that he still has this code running in his systems. If he were to upload it to the Geth collective, the entire race would be upgraded to become fully sentient & alive. The commander agrees, telling him to get started, and asking Tali to delay the impending Quarian attack on the Geth. After some bickering with the Quarian admirals, the fleet hold their fire. Legion says
Legion: Error: copying code is insufficient. Direct personality dissemination, required. Legion: Shepard-Commander, I must go to them. I'm... sorry. It's the only way. Tali: Legion, the answer to your question... was yes. Legion: I know, Tali, but thank you. Legion: Keelah se'lai.
Legion falls to his knees in front of the Rannoch sun. In his final moments, he achieved true sentience, evident by his use of "I" instead of "we," as well as calling Tali by her first name. He was an equal, he was a person, he was truly alive. Through his actions, Legion brought on a new era of peace between the Geth and Quarians. In the days following his death, the Quarians had returned to their home planet and started to rebuild with the help of their newfound allies. The Geth's assistance was speeding up the rebuild exponetially. Processes that would have taken years, were taking days to weeks. Some Geth also volunteered to upload themselves into the suits of Quarians, to kickstart their immune systems. This would make the environmental suits the former nomads wore irrelevant in a few short years.
Losing Legion hurts A LOT. He was my precious baby boy. Everything about his death compounded the loss tenfold. The fact that he achieved personhood; the way he fell in front of the sun; his uttering of keelah se'lai as he keeled over... just. UGH. Much like Mordin, his death was not in vain. Had he not done what he did, the Quarians would have been wiped from the galaxy by the Geth. He managed to save two civilization and end a 300 year conflict. This has really, really stuck with me. Genuinely one of my favorite moments & outcomes in any video game, period. I love Legion, I love the Geth, I love what they all stand for & represent, and how they grow over the course of the series. It's fucking awesome.
THE BAD
That's about all I have in terms of good things, now onto the bad.
ACCESSIBILITY
Mass Effect 3 took a step backwards from 2 in terms of accessibility. The second game was perfect; menus were simple and concise. I actually knew what I was doing & where to go. That's not true of 3!!! Shit's back to being convoluted & confusing!!! I look at a menu and say "what the fuck is this?" It sucks!!!!
The other thing is the galaxy map. On the map overview, it tells you the description of missions in certain systems, not the name!!!! So you'll just have shit like "go to Anderson's apartment" appearing over nebula & shit, like what???
Your journal is a disaster too. Missions, both main & side, were grouped together in one tab, so you can't easily decipher which is which. They also decided to remove mission details, rather only giving you a vague description of what you needed to do??? Extremely frustrating.
GAMEPLAY
The movement sucks. It's like halfway to where it needs to be. I gotta give them credit for trying to make it good, but they just fucking floundered. Everything is done with the space bar, and so fucking often when I tried to interact with stuff, Shepard would take cover or do a fucking roll in the wrong direction instead of doing what I wanted her to do. It got genuinely annoying.
Another big issue were missions. For some reason, BioWare decided that missions should expire in this game, except they don't tell you when!!!!!!! SO YOU JUST HAVE TO GUESS!!!!!!! COMPOUNDING THAT, THEY GIVE YOU SO MANY MISSIONS. Literally I had like 20 missions at one point. Most of them were just fetch quests too. The formula for fetch quests is basically as follows:
get mission from random NPC
go to system
ping map to find scannable locations
uh oh, you probably alerted the Reapers. Which means you can't scan in peace without doing a mission.
if you can somehow avoid the Reapers, scan location for random junk until you find your fetch quest item
take it back to random NPC
rinse & repeat 100,000 times
Not a big thing but they... got rid of all of the minigames? There's no more hacking minigames, rather when you need to access an area, you just interact with the door & stand there for a few seconds. Again, not a big deal, but definitely a step in the wrong direction. There's also no resource collection, which I really enjoyed.
Again, this one is less of a problem but just kinda weird. The game is fucking easy. I died less than 10 times in combat. I didn't even know you could heal with medi-gel till the finale. I barely ever had to take cover, I could just run & gun and be fine. Compare this to 2 where I was dying left and right. My performance in the prior game was so dogshit that I think Ari was starting to get annoyed by it, so often would they say "BABE TAKE COVER," meanwhile I'd look like this
SQUADMATES
I was really kinda disappointed with the squadmate selection this time around. The last two games had so many different characters that I really jived with, but 3's selection was pretty lackluster. So as soon as I could, I took Garrus everywhere with me, and would switch between Javik & Tali for the secondary. Not bad, but not ideal. I don't really like human squadmates, so I never picked James or Kaidan. James is just too dude-bro military hot head for me; Kaidan's a whiner & got really annoying. Giving EDI a body was unnecessary, but cool I guess? Her relationship with Joker was cute. Never really cared for her much as a squadmate though. Liara was also just kinda... meh. I think I was really just spoiled by having Wrex and Legion as options in prior entries.
THE CITADEL
Okay this is a quick thing: you spend WAY too much time on the Citadel. This kinda ties back into my complaints on missions, but, I swear a huge portion of the game is spent there, doing side missions. It's fucking boring, man. I really did not enjoy any of the time spent in between priority missions. The citadel is novel at first, but by the end of the game, you've spent at least a few hours just running between the same 4-5 floors picking up quests, turning quests, listening to NPCs. GAH.
THE STORY
Okay, so like I said, Mass Effect 3 has some really good subplots that I enjoyed a lot!!! Overall though, dude, the story is just... weak, the ending especially. Ari and I spent some time reading the Wikipedia article detailing the controversy surrounding this game, and it makes sense. Like, once BioWare lost the aforementioned writer for the first two games, everything just went to shit.
The first thing that really irked me is the child Shepard sees die and his subsequent use throughout the story. Sure, alright, seeing someone so young die is traumatic, but why does it hold so much weight?? Shepard has seen thousands die, personally, she has taken the lives of at least 300,000 people, why does a single kid she never even spoke to for more than a second keep popping up? There's zero substance here. Keep the trauma, keep the dream sequences if you must, but use the people that really matter. Mordin, Legion, Thane, Ashley, I guess, even her fucking parents or squad on Akuze! USE ANYONE BUT A RANDOM CHILD!
Now, let's address the elephant in the room: the ending. That travesty blows shit out of ass, dude. Why is the aforementioned child there? What do you mean there's this intelligence that was created to solve a problem? What even is the problem?? Oh, it's that synthetics and organics don't really truly understand one each other? Okay. Why is that just now becoming the overarching problem of the series? Where was that concept in the first two games? The introduction of this intelligence, the Leviathans, and the "problem" really diminishes the story. It explains away the mystery of the cycle. It diminishes the Reapers a lot! Before, they were these mysterious, almost god-like machines from beyond the veil of reality. Their purpose was unknown & said to be incomprehensible to a normal mind. Turns out they just harvest the universe because it "solves a problem?" Like, fuck off, dude lmao. Giving any context whatsoever to the Reapers and their motives was a bad idea and really killed the magic that they brought.
Anyway, as you finish up talking to the child, you are giving three choices
Control the Reapers
Destroy the Reapers & all synthetic life (EDI, the Geth)
Use your DNA as a template for life to combine & share the same DNA between all species, organic & synthetic alike. (AKA the Synthesis)
Ari & I chose the last option, as it's allegedly the "true ending." Well, when you do that, Shepard jumps in the crucible, turns to mist, a huge explosion of green energy crosses the galaxy through the mass relays (breaking them in the process??), and everyone becomes cyborgs & "understands each other." Reapers & their forces stop fighting and begin to help rebuild the galaxy. Everybody glows green now? It's not well explained and even if it were it's stupid as fuck. Besides that, you're also violating the bodily rights of the entire galaxy?? Forcing change at a DNA level without anyone's consent?? Kind of a weird way to resolve a war. Furthermore, what about the Reaper's abominations? They're all sentient now! They're not fighting anymore! What do you do with them? What they once were is barely even recognizable!!
THE DLC
Alright, last talking point: the DLC. DLC is not a new concept in the Mass Effect games, and while it was not a big deal before, this time really bugged me.
Before I start: the DLC involving Aria & taking back Omega was really fun, I enjoyed it a lot. Anyways.
First off, JAVIK IS DLC????? THE PROTHEAN CHARACTER THAT IS SO VITAL TO THE STORY IS DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT THAT COSTS EXTRA???? REALLY AWFUL DECISION BIOWARE.
Second, the Leviathan DLC. I love the Leviathans, they're really cool creatures in design & concept. But again, their introduction and involvement in the story just Ruined the Reapers pretty much entirely. It sucks. I wish they were better utilized. Also, again, to put something so """important""" to the story in a DLC??? Fucking lame.
Finally, the house party DLC. It was fucking AWFUL. The entire mood of it does not fit the game ONE BIT. Every other sentence is some weird, unfunny quip. Brooks as a character is just fucking annoying. You're running around chasing your clone??? Then YOU HAVE A PARTY??? The dialogue throughout the party is just fucking awkward and forced. Kasumi and Saeed are there for some reason?? It just sucked. I could go on for hours about it but I'm just burned out even talking about this shit.
Overall, a really, really disappointing end to an otherwise fantastic series
Fuck this

Radio please have mercy on a girl. You cannot put a big strong woman who CAN ruin someone in several different ways infront of me like this. I’m going to start going off my rocker (/j)
Hey but…if she ever did knot him…what would that be like. Just a hypothetical
How madly does he whimper 🎤

HEHEHEHEH I KNEW YOUD LOVE HER I was literally designing her and I'm like "I know they're gonna eat this shit up fr" HEHHEHEHEHEHHE
Grinning so wide. He'd sound SO fucking pathetic I stg. Whining and swearing as loud as he can. Pushing his aft up into her hips as he's overloading hard enough to knock his systems offline. And you KNOW she's biting into him as she's knotting him, just letting that instinct take over

Baldur’s Gate for fandom opinions?
the first character i fell in love with: had to be wyll. i saw him and then i bought the game exclusively to romance him NSBFJSND
the character i never expected to love as much as i do now: …def rolan cs that came completely out of left field but his general air of being sopping wet and eventual character arc really got me. they put crack in those tieflings i stg
the character everyone else loves that i don’t: cutting this ask here and censoring but. ast*rion. i don’t hate him— i genuinely think that he was extremely well written, a lot of it has to do with his fans and the way it seems that he was given a disproportionate amount of character development/content compared to some other companions
the character i love that everyone else hates: i don’t think there is one? there’s a community for everyone in this game which slays
the character i used to love but don’t any longer: i guess gale— at first i was all in but now i think i go back and forth on my feelings towards him
the character i would totally smooch: is it cheating if i say all of them. top of the list tho— rolan, wyll, jaheira, karlach.
the character i’d want to be like: i wanna be dame aylin for aesthetic reasons her character design slaps so fucking hard
the character i’d slap: lorroakan. fuck that bitch OFF the balcony he goes. SKRT
a pairing that i love: the obvious one is dame aylin/isobel but i am also partial to wyll/karlach and dammon/karlach. i could be convinced into becoming a lae’zel/shadowheart truther as well
a pairing that i despise: i can’t think of anything in particular tbh but i know that will change HAHA

Darth epic makeover
Me: "Oh, what a pretty..."
Cat: "NOT A CAT!"
Me: "Yes I know, you're in disguise... still pretty, though, in your tuxedo classic. So, what do you think?"
Samkat the Great: "looks decent so far, but then, you always were a half competent builder, in the yonder days of ye Olde TSD kingdom..."
Me: "You even have your own private appartement!"
STG: "Yes I the bed is nice, wake me from nap with lobster offering from my designated minion in a few hours, the trip was hard... "
Me: "You teleported a few meters from the door, only a minute away"
STG:"It is raining, I got wet and have sensitive paws... AND there was no minion with hot towels and hair dryer... Who is the Minion, BTW? Someone I know?"
Me:"You know what? I don't think you two ever met, actually. It's Darth. Sorta incompetent evil, but she can be fun..."
STG:"how so?"
Me:"well, if you hide under the bed for a moment, she's comming up here for her relooking... I thinh you'll have fun!"
Darth:"So I thougt about it and I have ideas to make me look like Miranda Merrick..."
Me and STG: "Uh?"
Darth:"Some echo in there... but let's go and NRAAS me up!"
(Honestly, the Merrick look, looks a bit out of reach to me)
Darth: "But I know what will suit me! Listen, I'm still a forest witch (sorta)... so I was thinking mushroom?
Me:"well, I'll try..."
STG: "I think I'm going to pee in my fur!"
Darth:"This one?"
Me:"Darth, lemme be honest he ... (STG: Nooo, I'm having too much fun!)... You're chubby. I should know. And flashy colors in wild prints are not our style, trust me.
Darth: "not even bats?"
Me:"ESPECIALLY NOT BATS!!!" Okay, why don't you try something a bit less colorfull, eh?"
Me: "Ok, that one is halway palatable. I guess the gosties help with the mass to lug around ..."
Ghosties: "Happy to be of service, Ma'am!"
Me:"But we should keep that one for special occasion. We don't want to tire the ghosties too much and have a wardrobe incident during Shamain, now do we?"
Darth:"But I wanna be a modern and sexy witch!"
Me: "Let me try."
Darth:"That's a bit..."
Me:"Well, at least it's modern! Sexy is debatable, but trus me, nodody is going to be able to miss that ass once it's on a broom."
Darth: "I'm going to ask Mirror...
Darth:"So, what do you think?"
Mirror:"I was there and saw the other stuff...Keep that. And beware the ca..."
STG:"NOT A CAT!"
Darth: "Who? What? Oh is this my familiar?"
STG:"Okay you big pumpkin, I had a good laugh but lets get down to serious business. I want three hot meals everyday, the gastronomic kind, don't try to give me those disgusting pellets. I will tolerate pets IF I'm in the mood... And if I'm not, you'll know fast.
Oh and don't forget snacks and the best bit of whatever you're eating, too..."
Darth:"Ah, yes, speaking of snacks, My favourite, gelified brains! The last batch has a delish radioactive flavor!"
STG:"Okay, cancel the la bit...
... I guess that broom is gonna have to do some quite heavy lifting.
To be continued (maybe)

initial thoughts on da:v after playing for 10 hours total yesterday. (ONE HOUR FOR EVERY YEAR I WAITED)
💜i spent soooo long in character creator, it’s actually really cool my only issue is that i can’t make my character super busty like myself but i’ll survive. i finally get to play an elf that isn’t default super skinny (i know that’s been part of the design like they’re more lithe than humans but i am still happy about it ok)
💜the animation is not as bad as i first expected, it is stylized for sure but i like it tbh im sold on it
💜the combat is so much fun? like it’s a learning curve but holy shit i am having so much more fun than inquisitions battles tbh
💜 the game is so story heavy and i looooove that, also the world is just big enough that im exploring without getting overwhelmed (toto, we aren’t in the hinterlands any more)
💜 varric needs to stop calling my rook kid cuz i stg he’s so fucking fine and i like the familiarity between them, i want them to be together so badly?
💜 solas has sexual tension with everyone including my rook that little alert ‼️solas has noted you exchanged verbal jabs with him‼️ and then he brings it up later you fucking loser make out with me
💜 also solas with hair in one of the parts of lighthouse i’m -
💜 bellara is my best friend and i’ll kill anyone who hurts her
💜 neve is sooooo fine and cool and idk if i wanna be her or be under her
💜 harding 🥹
💜lucanis is so interesting, a little bit cliche, but i am v much into him we flirted over coffee (loml) after we went shopping to feed the team?? he’s so concerned about them not eating well??? he’s fantastic
💜the angst and tension and possibilities with spite wanting to talk to rook so badly and lucanis taking all that beating to keep spite away from her was the nail in the coffin i fear he’s perfect i love him
💜 i’m playing a shadow dragon so neve is my rook’s like go to advisor atm
💜 world building goes so fucking hard in this game i am enamored with every location and visual
💜 the body horror and scary stuff is a little dulled by the art style so far i wont lie but its trying and it is dark in some spots which is nice takes away from the cartoonish feeling
💜 i hate that i have responsibilities i just want to play

Ngl, Striker/Blitzo is infinitely better than the canon Stolitz even before I stopped using other art sites for Stritzo content. (Rabid canon stans kill the mood even on artists just making chill content) In Striker’s debut episode, I stg it seemed like Striker was genuinely trying to get Blitzo out of his abusive situation yet Blitzo was too brainwashed? At first, Blitzo seemed a lil more happy/comfortable around the cowboy sharpshooter who allowed him play with his horse/s and stuff. And that was before Striker’s plan to assassinate Stolas was revealed then Blitzo is torn between freeing himself from his abuser or continue being stuck under the evil prince just to feel “safe”.
And we Stritzo shippers are way more civilized than Stolitz shippers. You know there’s a problem when Fanon/AU shippers are typically more mature than canon shippers who’d rather attack on sight at the tiniest offense or “threat” towards their “precious ship”.
Striker would def not coerce Blitzo into uncomfortable (sexual) situations for more stuff/perks. The snake eyed demon would also teach the imp how to properly fight and defend himself, not just shoot/kill.
Here’s a lil AU idea, a young Blitzo meets a young Striker for shooting lessons (pre-IMP days). Striker catches feelings for the amusing Blitz and allows the latter to pet his horse Bombproof who grows on him and allows the red imp to ride him aside from his master.
If Striker drops by to visit his husband and their adopted daughter Loona at the IMP HQ, Millie and Moxxie would def be surprised that the “cruel” Striker married their “goofy” boss.
I’m going to be nice just to try not to piss off the Stolitz stans so there’ll be no hard bashing here and no Yandere!Stolas trying to destroy Blitzo’s life and killing the imp’s competition for rejecting him. In this AU, Stolas may not have sexually coerced Blitz in the first place but is rather a more openly bitter prince who’s unhappy with a lot of things yet has a reputation to keep up with. The owl demon prince actually gets very jealous of anyone with an interesting and entertaining romantic relationship (regardless if they’re a demon, human or even angel couple) since it seemed that his and Stella’s relationship is deteriorating. His wife is the one actually taking care of Octavia the best she could even if Via has grown up. Despite Stella’s screeching at times, she does have a point about Stolas for not being attentive to their only child like he once was during Via’s childhood. While Stolas and Stella were technically in an arranged marriage, it’s no excuse to neglect his daughter.
Striker/Blitzo for life!
This. If stolas wasn't the designated love interest it would be about striker making him wake up and realize stolas is shit.

Okay, I'm curious- you mentioned playing a "felix expy" for a ttrpg. Can you tell us more about him? Like is he just basically felix with a name change, or did you make any other changes? Give us the deets! (or not, if you don't want to! I just like felix and thought your recent art of him was really very cute btw!)
Aw, thanks! nwn
And uh, yeah... *looks at him* I would say he's different in more ways than just a name change! .w.; Mostly in design though- his personality is largely the same, and i purposefully added some details that are references to older, pre-bag Felix. (The game takes place in an alternate universe timeline of the 40's, and Felix didn't get his magic bag until the 50's after all!)
Basically- and full credit where it's due- the design i had in mind for him took a lot of inspo from this drawing by JinJangJin on twitter, which is in turn based on this idea by Danny8bit. Seemed like a fun starting point to go with for a short game, though I deffo ended up thinking too hard about it and putting my own spin on the character and worldbuilding and even the genre a bit, because I can't help myself. XD ;
I stg, I always do this with ttrpg characters- 'oh, this is only a short 1-3 session game, i'll just throw together something quick based on something cool or funny i saw once and surely never think about it again,' I lied.
Anyway i now have an entire cache of info about this specific-ass version of Felix the Cat in my brain now that will probably never see the light of day in-game because the game is literally not built for delving too deep into backstories or character details!
Yay!
Anyway his name is Frank Felicitous because something something last name that's luck-related and sounds similar to feline. :B (a lot of his in-game abilities are luck based and very slapstick heavy, which has been quite fun!)
I'd love to go more in-depth here or post the drawings i made of him and his partner, but I will have to do so later once I'm back on my computer and not literally falling asleep on my phone in bed for the night shfgsh =w=;; Hopefully this has been a good teaser in the meantime tho, g'night!
#asks#myOCs#sorta? do expies count as ocs?? oh well for the sake of blog organization imma say yes#Frank

DR pt2 reactions (spoilers)
Episode 11
Opening scene hypeeeeeee!!!!! Love seeing them all work together, there’s definitely been a soft timeskip with Arin and Sora’s costume upgrades and how well they fit together
Lloyd’s handling Wyldfyre pretty well, respecting her boundaries while making sure she feels welcome anytime
Ray and Maya!!! Are they alive lol? Will we ever find out??
“The monastery works best when everything is in its proper place” *cue explosion*
Not listening to Zane is the cause of 85% of problems in this show
Kai and Wyldfyre’s rivalry is everything, actually
I will never stop gawking at the new animation, it’s so beautiful ;-;
Yayyyyyyy propaganda /s
Aye, Sora’s parents!!!! Seems like they’re having doubts mayhaps
Keep questioning authority kids, you’re getting there
Kids get it done!!!
I am begging all the water, fire/heat, and ice elementals to practice some critical thinking and remember that ghosts cannot touch water
The delivery on Nya’s “Whaaaaaat?!??” was so good lmao
“Eh, it never came up” LMAOOOOOOO he was so deadpan I’m dying
“How hard can it be?” Arin I stg why would you say that
Frohicky!!!!!!!
Lloyd is so awkward I love him
Arin and Sora having a handshake <333
Episode 12
We love a villain whose pride is 90% of the reason they fail
If they start deadnaming Sora I’m gonna throw hands
I was so ready for them to confirm Kai’s age, should’ve known better tbh
Lloyd is such a good mentor, I could cry
They’re playing catch :((
Lloyd’s little “that was the last of our dinner plates” lmao
Has the Bounty actually operated as a ship before? In the course of the show?? Kinda love that they’re treating her like an actual boat now
Merlopians!!!!!
GAY PEOPLE!!!!!!!
Revolution counter: 1
That was so funny and for what
If they make it through this episode without mentioning Bentho I will be so sad
WAIT is the crab controlling the merlopians instead of the other way around????
CALLED IT
So glad the merlopians aren’t the bad guys here
Episode 13
Kai isn’t handling not being the most unpredictable person in the group very well
Kai’s girlbossing his way through life, as he should
Zane being down to drink motor oil but not fly juice is so valid tbh
Frohickey and Zane’s dynamic is so silly I love them
Zane you literally have a human disguise lol, kinda love him being comfortable enough with who he is that he prefers to stay as a nindroid even in disguise tho
Is that his detective costume from prime empire???? Now I’m thinking about what the ninja’s closets look like
Wyldfyre causing problems on purpose my beloved, she’s such a menace, I love her
I’m really enjoying seeing all the seemingly forgotten species come back, have we seen these skeleton people since season 1??
“Ninjasplaining” IM DEAD
The lavatides have such fun character designs
How did the other realms know about the ninja before the merge? Like it makes sense, but how about the practicality of it??
“Ok this is just getting silly” this show makes me so happy you guys
Zane has a holiday, as he deserves!!
So ready to watch Zane lose a Zane lookalike contest, surely nothing could go awry
GULCH :D
Challenging Kai with a character even more headstrong and proud then him is such a good move, it provides so many opportunities to showcase how much he’s grown
Poor Zane, this man does not need another ship of Theseus crisis
Damn, I’m kinda emo over this message
LIGHTNING??!???!?
Episode 14
I miss Pixal so bad, man
Frohickey’s trying so hard, I would die for him
Sora honey, I love you but please check that cognitive dissonance, the things going wrong are not your fault, none of it is your fault.
This show’s comedic timing is everything, I never get tired of it
Fat rip to Clutch’s book, no brobrogoogoo today :(
“Long before the Merge, Djinnjago was destroyed” Nya, are you not gonna mention that you were the one to destroy it???????
“Bad news first: our mission was a failure, also we have no good news” Sora is so fucking funny you guys
Frohickey is having such a rough time, poor guy
Nya having a lightning dragon can be so personal
Sora the dragon’s name is Zanth!!!!! Best resolution to the “other Sora” thread imo
I love this guys attitude so much lol
Confirmation that Riyu’s a special lil guy <3
The depressed icon we never knew we needed
Arrakore my beloved
Zane and Frohickey’s friendship is so precious
Episode 15
I like how Kai and Wyldfyre didn’t have a specific moment of “oh hey you don’t suck” its just “we’re too similar and it’s kinda annoying but you’re cool sometimes”
Why didn’t we get to see Arrakore’s song :((
Nya’s being so chill with Arrakore being djinn, obviously he has nothing to do with Nadakhan but it’s still nice, he also seems massively less racist so that’s good
Nya’s dragon finally has a name, Jiro my beloved :))
Arin infodumping and Lloyd just “mhm-ing” my beloved
Asking nicely always works, apparently
I entirely forgot about Rapton lmao
Is it Cole time??? I want it to be Cole time
*motivational music* “all life is important” “… but that’s Rapton 🤨” I love Arin
HEATWAVE TO THE RESCUE!!!! Though where has he been up til now??
Lloyd being like “yeah sure, how impossible can it be?” and being entirely justified is the most him thing ever
COLE TIMEEEEEE HELL YEAHH!!!!!!!!
Episode 16
Cole and Nya hug <3333
Someone other than Zane mentioned Pix, a day for the history books
Glad to see Cole’s as OP as ever lmao
Oh they’re so gay
I didn’t even think about that, it’s so fascinating that the earth is unsettled by everything that’s happened
That’s so sad what the hell, so in character for Cole to just adopt a buncha orphans tho
WHAT THE FUUUUUUCK IM SO ABNORMAL ABOUT THIS
Sora I love you but that is the worst possible way to phrase that
Kai talking about the importance of other ways of helping and how combat isn’t everything and showing Wyldfyre a healing technique :(( I’ve been rewatching s1 and he’s come so far
Geo :(( things are better now, but change didn’t come soon enough for him and now he’s Lost
Borg mention!!!!!!
Also I love having a reference point for Sora and Nya’s skillsets, it’s also just so heartwarming to see adults who are wholly supportive and unafraid of younger people being better than them
Cole is so out of the loop lmao
Zanth :0
Oh you bitch
Cole and Geo are so in love :(
Episode 17
I entirely forgot about this plot point lol
Oh this is so dystopian
Kai in a mentor role means everything to me
They’re actually addressing Kai’s grief??? Hell yeah, fucking finally /lh
Alright, betting time: Jay or Pixal?
Lloyd and Arin are so silly, I love them
Zane???!?!!?!
Zane really just sat in that office, huh (/ref but it’s so vague I’d be shocked if anyone got it)
It’s a part of the realm of madness oh my goodness that’s hilarious
���Are they safe for people?” “No” *proceeds to shove them both in there*
Zane had way too much fun with that superhero landing lol
JAYYYYYYYYYY HOLY SHIT ITS JAY NINJAGO!!!!!!!
Zane is having so much fun this episode, he’s just getting shit done and looking great doing it
So we’re not getting Jay back yet? Rip
Zane is so polite what the heck
Episode 18
So Wyldness confirmed to be the same realm as Imperium???
Is Beatrix gonna have the same origin story as Kalmaar??
Nya and Cole’s friendship is so tender and caring, they’re besties your honor
LaRow trash talking Rapton to his face lmao
Rapton redemption arc!??!????!
It’s so interesting seeing the backstory of Ras and Beatriz’s alliance after it’s already fallen apart
Wyldfyre did not need to be told twice lmao
THAT ACTION SEQUENCE HELLOOOO?!????? THEY WERE THROWING AROUND THOSE GUARDS LIKE A FUCKING VOLLEYBALL
From a psychological perspective, Beatrix is fascinating
Revolution counter: 2!!!!!!!
Episode 19
Lloyd letting Kai take point on wrangling Wyldfyre only for Kai to immediately match her energy my beloved
“You have no idea how foolish some of us can be!!” Pffff “-no offense Lloyd” PFFFFFFF
Interesting to go the “non bender revolution” route considering how few elemental masters there are compared to avatar where benders are a vast majority, but it’s a villain whose power hungry so makes sense and I’m entirely down
The quips this episode are impeccable
They built an hq??? Hasn’t it only been a week or two??
So much is interconnected in this season I’m kinda not following some of it, but I love it
Percival monologue going off!!!!!!
Sora main character fr fr
Kai and Wyldfyre are everything
Kinda iconic that Nya just hasn’t mentioned that she found Cole lol
That scene with the guard was so good!!!! The suspense and the realization of just how deep the resistance runs…. It’s such a good moment
Love that as soon as Kai has Wyldfyre even slightly reined in he’s down to let loose and make messes with her, as long as it’s for a good cause lol
That extra delivered with that cry holyyy
Heck yeah Rapton redemption :D
Rapton out here with the guardians of the galaxy motivation and I’m loving it
The fight choreography in this show never ceases to amaze me, holy crap
Sora’s speech goes so hard, I’m tearing up
Finally got confirmation the og ninja are in their twenties, thank god
One thing about Nya is that she will never pass up an opportunity to call her brother stupid
Episode 20
Rapton calling Dorama a “washed up clown” is everything I never knew I needed lmao
The stakes are staking
The glitch effect??? Hello spiderverse!!!
The platonic love on display this season is killing me, they all care about each other sm :((
That Rapton Nya interaction was so good and for what
Sora’s parents >:(
Deadnaming their kid and guilt tripping her saying she “abandoned you,” damn Sora’s response is so fucking cathartic as a trans person with unaccepting parents
I’m just here for the ride and having a great time
Frohickey!!!!!!!!!
Lloyd doing ye ole Chosen One things, as he should
Kai and Wyldfyre hug <3333
Dragon heritage mention???? Mayhaps???????
That was cryptic, cool though
Lloyd sees so much of himself in these kids 😭😭😭
Jordana boutta get the Harumi treatment fr

shake n bake alabamia (bnha) s2e4-5 let's find out what a fucking cavalry battle is
yeah yeah 80% of the world is superheroes ever since the shiny nation attacked wtf is a cavalry battle I don't wanna google it I want you to tell me -- reel 'em in with the melody (skipskipskip)
"I want you to tell them 'I am here!' mow it in the lawn if you have to!"
deku I think it might take a little more than luck to drag a hunk of metal with you a whole race and then figure out a way to use it to go really fast right at the end. people keep underselling themselves in this.
…these are some weird rules. also holy shit this looks unsafe with the headbands around the neck. are they actually supposed to carry each other? how the hell are they sposed to get the headbands? -- "you'll get a red card for trying to make people fall over" ?????????????????????? I started this episode with one question and I keep getting more. also it's hard enough to get kids with quirks not to try to kill each other, how in fuck do you decide whether an "attack" is meant to get someone to fall?
dude. I know healing powers exist but still, why are they letting you smoke indoors, and right in people's faces no less
"how do you not know your own class's powers???" 'XD vegeta gonna vegeet
flying horse? not sure what other plan there is with uraraka tbh -- well, it's not like this is that different from deku's plan with picking iida -- (I keep trying to remember the gadgeteer girl's name from danganronpa 3 so I can call hatsume that but tbph maybe that's for the best anyway)
"I just need one more person" WHAT ARE THE RULES OF THIS GAME, THE DIAGRAM SHOWED THREE PEOPLE -- dontbeminetadontbeminetadontbemineta -- birdman, yesssssss, this oughta be cool (also it's not mineta thank fuck)
oh fuck, part of me wants to see todoroki win. it helps that iida is on his team (even tho I'm a little disappointed about this "I'm your rival now too" thing)
really, tsu? mineta? : /
that's literally one of the butler bot npc's from the paris map I stg (like granted it's not a complicated design but still)
"before we get deku, let's kill all these guys (who are literally just playing the hand they were dealt with half a brain)" easy there vegeets, you get red flags that way -- I guess props to class A for figuring out, between them, how to set up a team that lets bakugo do whatever he wants; for sure, no team with him in it is going to last longer than it takes for him to fall off otherwise
"I shift Shoji into attack mode and attack your headbands directly!"
"team midoriya has nowhere left to go!" WHAT. ARE. THE. RULES. TO. THIS. GAME. is this fucking calvinball, or does every high school in japan play this and somehow it's never shown up in any other anime I've heard of, or what?
…we just did this. didn't we just do this last episode? -- oh, cool. hell, I feel like they're trying to set up neito as a dick but I don't see much reason not to like him yet
neito gotta stop pushing them buttons or we're gonna need a backup planet
o_o dang, wasn't expecting iida to even have chips to put in
sigh "the difference between having goals you can plan for and just bloodymindedly grasping for the moon while answering everything but perfection with violence" so disappointingly american
I wasn't really reading too close when they explained how the points work, but it is pretty damn weird that there's a ten million point headband and (judging by the margins on the scoreboard) no others that even go up to ten thousand. damn near rowlingesque; hell, even the snitch could be overtaken (granted, only by somebody willingly throwing the game)
"Tokoyami!" "Kaminari!" "DEKUUUU!" "Bakugo!" Donkey!
"TIME UP!" bakugo faceplants 'XDDDDDD shouldn'ta got sidetracked, vegeet
…wait when did gamzee get here. did neito throw his points to him? was this a relay race pony express shell game thingy??? we still don't know what shinso's mOtHeRfUcKiNg quirk is yet
CONSOLATION POINTS TO GRIFFINPUFF. good show, birdman, good show
hm. interesting convos in next episode, I expect. officially learning some things about todoroki and endeavor. gonna have to be next time, unfortunately; 's late.

since it's disability pride month it reminds me of the time my wheelchair using uncle got yelled at by some karen lady at burger king because he stood up to get condiments. he can stand and even walk short distances but mostly uses a wheelchair since it's painful for him to walk much due to a leg injury that didn't heal correctly. but then this idiot karen apparently assumes that all wheelchair users are paraplegics or legless because she then began ranting on him for "faking" a disability and was like "are you proud of yourself that you're appropriating actual disabled people to get their benefits? you should be ashamed!"
me and uncle just laughed it off and ignored her while she babbled on lmao
Man why are karens like this. I can't even
What. What benefits does your uncle get from using a wheelchair. When they are so hard to get around in because a lot of stuff wasn't designed with them in mind. It's so hard for disabled people to get on benefits that some just straight up decide not to go through with it because of the process and being denied multiple times. How and why would your uncle purposefully fake a disability for that if he was abled that would only give problems. People like that need to think before they say stuff like that I stg
No actually bigger question how the hell would you appropriate disabled people. Maybe it's not clicking in my head rn but that word doesn't make sense in that way. You. You can't appropriate a person can you what.
#this person be ranting on to you about how 'bad' your uncle is for that like she cares about disabled people.#and i just Know that if she came across a person with like. fibromalygia (is that how you spell it??) or smth she would not believe them.#what a clown.#also happy disabled pride month to your uncle 💥💥💥#answered asks#anonymous asks

So, Color Theory.
Color is wild and I'm not an expert buut, I did take a class a while ago on it and I'd like to think I've gotten to the point where I can use color to to acheve a certain vibe when I'm styling an outfit.
Idk if yall have noticed, but a I tend to use a lot of similar colors when I plan outfits, especially when it comes to things in my wardrobe. This is on purpose. I've paid attention to which colors I tend to gravitate to when shopping, and in real life and using what I know about myself I've been able to come up with a color palette that I like and can style outfits around.
In the past few years, I've found that I personally vibe with neutrals and pastels, and a lot of the time that leads me towards the more feminine clothes, which suits my taste just fine. Even though I know what colors I like, my wardrobe is filled regular pieces in two staple colors, black and white. These colors are a good way to break up a busy outfit and give the eye a place to rest, but too much can easily change the vibe of an outfit so be aware.
This idea of being proportional with color is one that I use a lot. Take my outfit Soda Pop for example:
This outfit is edgy and chic, but why?
First off, you got the contrast from black and white, back taking up most of the color ratio. The difference is already sharp, and good color placement on the garments themselves make it so that its inclusions highlights details that might otherwise have gone unnoticed (ex: the white seams on the pants)
Now, notice that the only color here is coming from the accessories. We could have just continued the black and white theme with the accessories (and that could have slapped too dont get me wrong) buuut throwing the smallest hints of orange in a few places around the fit is such a big brained move. This is cause now you not only have contrast between Light and Dark but also you've got this extra layer of Color Saturation to play with. Those accessories could be any color as long as they a) were vibrant as heck and
b) showed up more than once/or included a bit of white or black to tie it in with the rest of the fit.
An outfit that does the opposite of this is Stay Frosty:
This outfit also only has 3 colors (4 if you count gold) but the vibes of this one are a lot softer than Soda Pop, and that's partially because palette shift.
The use of black is majorly toned down here and is only really found in the shoes and the necklace as an accent. The primary colors here are white and a dark blue, and the way they come across are actually quite different as well.
First of all, we have some blending happening with the introduction of grey, both on the sweater and in the plaid on the skirt. Opening up this middle zone makes the palette seem a lot softer because there is less contrast between tones, and what contrast there is, is lessened in a gradient.
Secondly, and I'm going to nitpick here: that white is not actually white. It's an off-white grey, one that compliments well with the off-white in the plaid design. The color is pastel, and is less vibrant than a true bone-white, adding to the soft girl vibe by toning down the vibrancy of our main color.
An easy way to seem more put together is to pay attention to the undertones in your clothes, especially your neutrals. Using a warm toned white in an otherwise cool toned fit throws the vibe. It'll be subtle, but once you start noticing I stg it's so hard to go back. I have a cute cardigan that's a victim of this rn cause it's a an off-white with and undertone of *warm green* and it clashes with most of my wardrobe because I'm a cool toned green gal.
So yeah, color theory. It's all about how much you want to contrast your darks, lights and color vibrancy. It's also about finding colors that compliment eachother, but I'll post on that later, this ones long enough.

first off, the comment on Jake is perfection, I feel like people struggle to understand you can understand, criticize, and love a character all at once (wee see this with spider and Quaritch too, and even Ronal, though with her it's a little different). I understand why he did the things he did, I don't blame him, but I can also acknowledge that he was wrong/harmful at the same time. I do whole heartedly hate his hypocrisy, the way he treats his sons, and the way he treats spider; its like he forgets so much of his past, so many of the worlds/his mistakes, and is repeating them on his kids.
same with Neytiri, I feel like because they only focused on her when she was upset, angry, or showing understandable but heavy prejudice/aggression against mostly spider but also most of the other characters, she kinda just got boiled down to The Angry Women, and even more harmful The Angry Native. and while this wasn't the intention, what else can we expect from the general audience (cause omg half of this fandom is killing me with their awful takes, like good God, it's hard to handle sometimes). she deserved more screentime, more complexity, she deserved to just be a mother. she's a mighty warrior, she has been long before she was even an adult herself. I feel like she was pushed so far in the back, especially by Jake. I'm kinda mad, cause to me at least, its kinda like hotd all over again, she becomes an easily unlikeable character because the narrative oversimplifies her, if that makes sense? I too find myself without the words to fully describe her.
I can't wait to see whats in the books for quaritch, he's so complex and there's so many ways to take his characters. personally me and my daddy issue want him to get a redemption arc via spider, but there's so much potential. I hope he gets a detroit becomes human moment, question himself, who he is, what he's meant to be, what he wants to be. also I too need him to connect with Eywa and have a crisis, it will make my day. I also need more of him and cupcake.
the tulkun kill me, they make me so sad. I go to a aquaculture school, I've been genuinely depressed for the last week cause one of my fish died, so to see these sentient whales (an animal in our world that is a straight sucker punch to the gut on a good day) go through so much pain, had me sobbing like a little bitch. payakan and lo'ak will put me in my grave I stg its not funny anymore.
I really loved the design of the metkeyina people so much, I think they are so uniquely beautiful, watching them swim and just exist is so majestic. I also just loved tonowari, like he's just such a dad, like I don't think any can be more of a dad then him. aonung is a character I wish they spent more one on one time on, he seemed really interesting, and I feel like it would have been a great chance to explore the kids as kids more.
spider is spider, I won't ever stop talking about him. I was him one, and if any of my many shitty father figure were cloned and treated me like quaritch did, I would have gone back for them, it's called empathy, I need people to understand that. he did the right thing, because he still had the good in his heart to do it. am I saying that I would hate any of the others for not saving him? no. I'm saying that spider is the necessery heart of the sully's as of right now. he believes people can be good, he can empathize when the sully's have grown cold in the response to so much loss and pain. he's fascinating and heartbreaking and complex and I love him so much.
kiri is really calling out my autistic, religious trauma, having ass, and its not nice. I love her and watching her continue to evolve and grow as a character is so satisfying. she's that character that just resonates at my core and I can't put my feelings into words.
and a final note, family therapy, all of you, get in a circle, and talk about your feelings god dammit.
I just got back from seeing Avatar: Way of Water and I’m about to make it everyone’s problem.
First off, the movie was absolutely visually stunning. The planet, the locations, the animals, all of it was gorgeous. Some of the most gorgeous shots I’ve ever seen.
I loved the Metkayina designs. They were clearly designed with water life in mind—the wider tails, wider arms to allow for better swimming. I also noticed inspiration drawn from Māori tattoos for their facial markings.
I loved all the kids, but Spider is definitely my favorite. It just makes me so sad that this kid has grown up never fitting in with the humans or the Na’vi and has been barely tolerated by most adults in his life. I have a lot of thoughts on Spider, but that’s a whole separate post. Basically I love him, I want him to be safe, and he’s a kind kid with a big heart and I’ll defend him to my dying day.
Kiri is a close second favorite. I was literally thinking “are there autistic Na’vi?” Before watching this and I kind of got my answer. Yes, i do 100% see Kiri as autistic. Also she’s canonically epileptic, which I thought was interesting. I just want more disabled characters that are interesting and contribute to the story, and she delivers. I also think it’s so cool that they gave her such a close connection with Eywa (no I don’t have religious trauma leave me alone). My only complaint is that Sigourney Weaver’s voice doesn’t…sound like a teenager’s voice to me. She plays the part very well, but her voice throws me off a bit.
I think it’s very interesting what they’ve done with Quaritch’s character. By making him a clone, you basically start over. He’s got all the memories but basically only a year or so of life experience and a lot of that influences how he interacts with the world, especially Pandora since he’s experiencing it from a new angle. He also noticeably softens toward Spider and while it may have started as manipulative, I do think he genuinely cares for Spider by the end. He reminds me a bit of early-show Zuko, and I can see him getting redeemed through his bond with Spider. I really want to see him link with a Spirit Tree, the existential crisis it would cause would make for great writing.
I don’t feel that Jake has been super poorly written, but I feel that we’re seeing him acting in survival mode so I don’t know what his relationship with his kids is usually like. I understand why he would revert to military training in a time of crisis.
I do feel like Jake has forgotten what it was like to be human in some ways, like he’s forgotten that he wasn’t always Na’vi. He does great his boys like they’re soldiers under his command, and I feel like his treatment of Spider shows just how much he’s forgotten what it was like to be human. What it was like to live in a world that wasn’t compatible with his body.
I also feel like Jake doesn’t have a full grasp of Na’vi culture still, and he sometimes overrides Neytiri when he should listen to her experience. Again, I understand the reasoning, it just annoys me.
Neytiri got shoved to the side a bit, in my opinion. She was in character, and I understand all of her responses, but I felt that Jake didn’t always treat her as an equal or value her knowledge enough. I don’t quite have words for how her emotions impact her character, but they’re all very impressed words. Just wow.
The tulkun are so cool to me. It started out as just kind of a whaling story, but you realize that these creatures are sentient, they’re capable of thought, they’re deeply intelligent beings. They’re people, plain and simple. And seeing the whaling analogy paired with the fact that these creatures are people, it made me nearly cry. Seeing them being murdered and their bodies desecrated for a tiny bit of profit had me cringing in my seat and made me so angry.
Random thoughts in no particular order:
Tsireya is so pretty I love her. She reminds me of a fantasy Elf for some reason.
Quaritch attempting the “death by thighs” move was unexpected, but not entirely unwelcome. I’m used to seeing femme fatale characters use that move, and I’m pretty sure I was blushing.
All of the Sully boys have daddy issues now, and Spider also has mommy issues
The “why so blue?” dad joke and Spider getting the one “fuck” of the movie made me laugh
