#i used the character cards for it tho

[tacobellebandit]

Was feeling a little spicy and did some color picking for the "diversity" of skin colors in Teyvat's playable characters.

Honestly, it's one thing to have this story that is taking place in a limited geographical area, right? Like efforts at inclusion of a diverse sect of people is still really important, but we're looking at multiple nations. An entire world taking inspiration from our real one. It shows, at the very least, a huge lack of research. It's weird to have an entire desert environment with very little natural cover from the sun, where the darkest people there are lightly tanned. It's weird to build an entire world with so little diversity considering how the real world looks. Lazy worldbuilding, as the most charitable label for it.

There's probably a lot that can be said to how these characters are treated as well, in Genshin's story. Specifically thinking of Kaeya, the Tanit Tribe, Jeht herself, and the Eremites in general as an enemy type. You can probably write an entire essay there, huh?

As soon as I saw Hazel from the Monster Road-trip DLC I fell in love. So much so I wanted to try and make a cookie after them. I tried to weigh out the grams as I concocted these but the cups are more accurate. Feel free to try an make these. They’re a funky take on an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with a dash of warm fall spices.

Recipe:

1 1/4c (320g) Applesauce

1/2c(113g) Butter

1c (240g) Brown Sugar

2c (272g) Flour

2c (160g) Quick Oats

1 Egg

1/2tsp Baking Soda

1/2tsp Salt

1tsp Cinnamon

1/2tsp Nutmeg

1/4tsp Cloves

1tsp Vanilla

1c (160g) Semi Sweet Chocolate

1c (120g) Chopped Hazelnuts

*toast Hazelnuts for extra flavor

In a bowl combine the applesauce and baking soda. In another bowl combine your softened butter, sugar, spices, and vanilla, beat until fluffy. Add your egg in to the butter mix, beat until combined. Then gradually add in your applesauce. Next mix in your oats, then the salt and flour. Once mixed fold in your nuts & chocolate.

Bake at 350 F/175 C for 10-12 minutes.

So i made a Hazbin Hotel OC... Meet Chip!!

Potential gambling Overlord (tho in my mind the gambling overlord does change hands often due to sinners losing bets) Briefly knew Husk as they probably had a couple games of poker before Alastor made him work at the hotel

Chip adores newbies when it comes to gambling, always being down to show someone the ropes for the right price of a couple games, but absolutely despises dick heads who act like they're tough shit without assessing the threat of the game (the V's are top of their shit list, tho its mostly velvette)

(they are also missing their left pinky after loosing it in a game with Rosie, honestly it was a fun game and Chip would play again)

I agree with this one Youtube guy's opinion on Kung-Fu Panda 4 but I feel like I am losing respect for him by the minute for unrelated reasons called "He showed his chart of movie antagonists and has Ken in the cringe tier, which does imply several things about the way he sees the Barbie movie and its themes. Also he has Adam (Hazbin) in the same tier."

On the other hand I am not sure if putting them in cringe means he thinks the characters are cringe, which like...yeah ok that'd be completely fair, or if it means that their usage as antagonists is cringe, in which case my previous statement applies like booo go home I don't want what you're cooking you don't get it you'll never get it.

Also he has a special super tier for Jack Horner which is giving him some plus points because big agree that was a real damn good narrative tool yeah.

don't think I ever posted this on here, but earlier this year I collected every card bakura uses in the anime + some duel links cards to recreate his deck irl! it was a lot of fun to do <3

I know BEWD ends up being seto’s ancient Egyptian gf so that’s why they’re so connected but man I am never not thinking about how Pegasus makes it a toon and seto is so outraged — you’ve stripped it of it’s pride!! —

and then Pegasus strips Seto of Everything

Monsuno: Below Zero

Marianas VS Deepsix

Just finished a scene for a Monsuno episode concept and I'm very, very pleased with the results. Later I will color it but right now my hand needs proper rest.

Episode concept:

As Monsuno essence is further drilling into the earth's core and sismic activity is rising, Team Coretech is on the desperate task to contain it for as long as possible, just enough for Jeredy Suno to complete his miraculous board which is the key for humanity's salvation.

Their search leads them to desolate frozen lands where a lone Storm base named 'The Aurora' is reported to perform drilling activities in search for resources hidden under the ice, such as oil deposits and Monsuno essence.

Hacking into their security systems, the heroes learn that the deposit of Monsuno essence Storm is after is not only under extremely unstable barriers but also the efforts to obtain it put the surrounding waters at great risk of contamination. Such an event would result in catastrophic proportions, risking uncountable lives as well the delicate balance of the local wildlife and bodies of water.

Infiltrating the greatly isolated base seems like a piece of cake, disarm the main drill and render Storm instalations useless to prevent disaster by brute force their specialty.

Until the team finds out way too late that the classified archive which they got the information is a faux code name for the Driller and undefeated Guardian of the Aurora base:

Marianas. The deep diving Monsuno.

it caught my eye that kuukou has two sets of prayer beads in this card and learned that in buddhism you have two different kinds of prayer beads: formal and informal!!!!

formal beads are crafted for specifically one sect, so prayer beads from shingon buddhism would differ from zen buddhism, for example!!! informal beads are typically for personal use and don’t follow the more strict construct rules that differentiates formal beads. since they’re for personal use, why a person may have a personal set of beads varies from person to person, but they’re usually used either for meditation or for protection

we’ve seen kuukou meditate, and he doesn’t use beads so i wonder if his beads are more of a protection charm for him more than anything 🤔

Oh yeah, also doodled up a quick design based on one of my FR dragons. I have two vers because the colors weirded my brain out despite wanting to match the dragon.

Byeah this is the Toxicologist (they/them), a mute poisons and toxins expert working for some rather... shady organization neutralizing paranormal threats! They're also a rather avid card player with a very bizarre deck....

I just wanted simeon to complete my pink team with a third UR/UR+ card that is NOT a demon brother but I got the UR+ satan too lol

Game time >:3c (Patreon)

[autisticcassandracain]

Since people (imo) erroneously keep considering Bette as part of the batfam, here's a list of batfam characters, ranked from most to least likely to get along with Bette Kane (pre-flashpoint post-crisis canon for everyone except Duke):

Stephanie Brown: Spoiler!Steph and Bette would get along like a house on fire. Steph and Bette are very similar, in that they are blondes who became heroes largely because they found it fun, and who are constantly undermined and belittled due to not being quite as hypercompetent as some other heroes (and also sexism). Their personalities and fighting styles are also quite similar. The difference is that, unlike Bette, Steph does have a tragic backstory, and when she became Batgirl, she got much more lofty heroic motivations. As Batgirl, she's also shown to somewhat look down on her past self as Spoiler for being much more flighty. This means that, as Batgirl, she'd likely have friction with Bette, since Bette would remind her of herself as Spoiler. Nothing insurmountable, and would be quite interesting to unpack, but it wouldn't be as natural of a relationship as between Bette and Spoiler.

Duke Thomas: Duke has no real reason not to get along with Bette. He's spent a lot of time running with a ragtag group of untrained, unprofessional heroes in the Robin collective, so he's more likely to appreciate Bette's competency on her own terms rather than disparaging her for not being as well-train/serious as most of the batfam. He's also a little more down to Earth than most of the batfam as a result, which I feel Bette would appreciate. They're both thrill seekers and have solid senses of humor. I don't think it'd be super deep but yeah they'd enjoy hanging out.

Tim Drake: Look. He's got practice. Tim was a condescending ass to Steph, but he did genuinely like her as a person, even if he didn't respect her as a hero. But while pre-Beast Boys (Miniseries) Bette mostly ignores/seems oblivious to other people's condescension, post-Beast Boy (Miniseries) Bette has much less tolerance for it, which would cause her to dislike him. Once Steph hit Batgirl though, Tim mostly felt bad for being a condescending ass to her, so he'd be a little less likely to repeat the mistake with Bette. On the other hand, he's probably heard Dick complain about her. On the other other hand, she was part of a Young Justice branch. I really don't think they'd ever be more than, at best, casually friendly acquaintances, but like, Tim's less likely to actively loathe her on sight than most of the batfam.

Cassandra Cain: Listen. They get along in my heart. In canon Cass is one of the few Batfam members to have met Bette, but didn't express much of an opinion about her. Bette, on the other hand, seemed actively annoyed by her. I think if they were forced together on a few more missions there's a possibility for friendship, since Cass obviously likes Steph and I think Bette would appreciate Cass once she realizes she's a little shit, but Cass heavily values hypercompetence and is likely to look down on you and give you the cold shoulder if you don't have it. Steph was in a unique position where she had skills Cass needed and was able to force a team-up so they got to know each other better, and Steph was willing to do much of the heavy lifting to make friends, but Bette is much less likely to do either of those, so. Unless they get stuck in a hyperspecific scenario in which they were forced to bond, they'd probably dislike each other.

Damian Wayne: Same principle as Cass imo, but even less likely to actually succeed. His relationship with Steph in her Batgirl solo suggests he could forge a positive relationship with Bette if they got stuck in a hyperspecific circumstance where they were forced to bond, but that's. Not going to happen. Unlike with Steph, there's no reason for it to happen, since Bette doesn't live in Gotham and isn't batfam, and on top of that, Damian is even more judgemental and condescending than Cass, and Bette's not gonna like that at all. Plus he's like, twelve. Bette has no reason to want to be friends with him, he has no reason to wanna be friends with her, and Damian is nothing if not a provocative little shit towards people he dislikes, an energy Bette will probably match because she's petty as hell. Most likely, they'd argue too badly to even work together.

Barbara Gordon: They'd LOATHE each other. They have shared history with the Batgirl mantle they interact with in completely different ways. Babs is likely to view Bette as a wildly inferior version of herself as Batgirl that never grew up, Bette will think Babs has a stick up her ass and will respond to her condescension by dialing up all the parts of herself Babs hates to eleven and never listening to her ever, which Barbara 'Control Freak' Gordon would just be overjoyed about. They'd HATE each other.

Bruce Wayne: Do I even. Need to explain why this won't work? Do I really? I don't think I do.

Dick Grayson: The only one with whom Bette has a canon relationship! It's bad! Bette had a rather aggressive crush on him for a long time, which Dick was, understandably, rather annoyed by. Dick pretty consistently saw the worst parts of Bette and it lead him to not only disrespect her as a hero, but dislike her as a person and consider her an active liability on the field. In the Beast Boy Miniseries, he went so far as to read her the riot act and tell her to quit. Which she didn't. This moment seems to have shattered Bette's hero worship of him and instead gave her an understandable dislike of him. They have history and it's not a positive one. I think they could maybe work themselves up to a non-hostile acquaintance status if they really put the effort in, but they have no reason to do so. Unlike the rest of the batfam, who'd mostly dislike Bette for superficial reasons or unfortunate presumptions, Dick and Bette hate each other for reasons rooted in a disastrous personal history that they don't have a reason to talk through. This is on top of Dick's personality not being all that compatible with Bette's in the first place, so even if they got over their history, they'd be unlikely to be friends. So yeah. Not happening.

alright marius card you’re more than an hour long, don’t disappoint me

[imabiscuitinthousandworlds]

i love spending hours at an ungodly time helping a friend flesh out their wip, getting too carried away in the creation of needless flora and fauna (i got excited), and then both of you thoroughly traumatizing their characters and coming to the conclusion that you should possibly attend therapy together lmao
