Dennis the menace vs Bart Simpson…u get it dude

THANK YOU KAT HHAGFKJG i had no other way to properly express it..

Obviously there's more personal things i enjoy with them in the 80s compared to the 50's, i effin love the 80's!!!! As a concept!!! Not the getting called a fag for breathing bits!!!

However i get peoples preferences for the losers taking place in the 50's vs the 80's. I have big feelings about the modern remakes and what they did right and how MUCH they did wrong. But i loved it personally, the losers to me always felt perfect as 80's nerds who were outcasted before nerd culture would become beloved. The peak of science fiction, pop culture, riding off the coat tails of Disco and Jazz as New Wave begins to take more of a hold. The Talking Heads, The Go Go's, The Police, MEN AT WORK. Granted this is also a good argument for them being adults at this time period, i just prefer them being kids and growing up with peak geek. It would become almost a sore spot for most of them, seeing how accepted nerdy shit is now. Imagine getting bullied for being a Star Wars fan just to see people praised for their sexy jabba the hutt cosplays now. AND BEFORE ANYONE CORRECTS ME the same thing can be said about the 50s and the rise of comic books and more dorky culture. Stan in his little boy scout uniform?? So cute and so essential in establishing his raw dorkness. But i still lean towards them in the 80's and their own individual nerd fandoms. I've actually got a project ive been working on with them in their little nerd fandoms 😭 Richie obviously was a Star wars kid Eddie was heavily into Star Trek and thinks Star wars is a cheap light show trying to copy the popular show at the time Bill is into dnd but after Georgies death his love for it begins to taper off, he does host a campaign every now and then when the inspiration strikes Stan has started to enjoy Thundercats as it premiers the winter before that awful summer And the group makes obvious Heman references all the time and have arguments over which Marvel character each person in the group would be (Which again could apply to the nerd group of 50s losers) I am in full agreeance that they botched the losers badly in the modern remakes; Ben?? Mike?? Bev?? Its not even funny how badly they were written. I could write a badly written novel about how much they fucked up Mike and Ben. But i still have such a soft spot for the modern remake. They feel more like jerk losers in the 80's, like kids who are bullied and because of that bullying have built a sort of defense mechanism to be pricks back. I would love to have seen more of the micro details King writes for his characters in the modern remakes, but i understand how difficult that is to express it in the movies. Though, personally, i'd watch a 5 hour long movie of The Losers just doing stupid shit to build their character

also im so sorry Kat you got me going and i had to write 30 paragraphs but THANK YOU 😭

Prince Jenson of Somerset

+ process & lore

Yayyyyy omg finally have drawn portraits of the four main characters!!!! I'll show the process of Jenson's first and then them all four together. Though it's a shame the Seb/Fernando ones are older, I think it's hopefully obvious how much I've improved since November?

Look at him in all his handsome, princely glory 🥹 It's funny, I'm always happy with the second sketch and initial lineart, and then I start coloring it and I absolutely hate it, and it takes a significant amount of time into the painting for me to like it again. And then I reach a certain point and I'm in love with it again. Ugh though I gotta say, I love drawing the curls, it's just so 18th century, but at the same point, man I always will love my original lineart for the hair the best ah. Also yes I absolutely had to give him a big ass hat with feathers, he really is that kinda guy to me. I originally drew a bicorne and then realized that those don't really exist until basically almost a century later oops, so tricorne it is!!

Okay now omg look at them all together 🥹

Haha wow I have improved a lot! Just like the Seb/Fernando ones, Mark and Jense's were meant to be put together. I think there's a lot of inherent characterization in their poses that highlight the difference between them. Mark is looking up, very wistful, looking up to greater people, greater things. Jenson's head is tilted down, almost looking at the viewer, he is very satisfied with his role and revels in it, he's here to slay!

Okay, yes, lore, characterization, sorry that it is so far down on the post!!

Jense would probably be the fan favorite if this AU was an actual book or show or something. He's the guy you randomly find while browsing Wikipedia and you're like, woah this guy is so cool??? Unlike Sebmarknando, he doesn't really have the same level of angst, he's kinda just chilling. He's a bit harder to write a lore post about, because he's basically that character who is always magically around the corner, ready to witness some crazy thing and just breeze past it.

He is less linked to Seb than people like Mark and Fernando, because he's basically just his personal minister of transportation(read: horse fucker), so he avoids a lot of the relationship complications and drama, but that isn't to say he's completely uninvolved. He really likes Seb, and loves to hang around with him and serve him, but he's not as beholden to him. He's who everyone goes to air their grievances or to get away from the others, and he's very happy with this role. He's generally willing to play any side in an argument, but does tend to have a pretty big soft spot for Seb overall(Seb also gives him cuteness aggression, and he wants to bite him. Especially when Seb puffs himself up and acts super bratty when he gets offended at not being seen as a proper ruler.)

He's royalty from other kingdom, but pledged his loyalty to Seb's kingdom when he was quite young and has served him(his father first) ever since. He started off somewhat low in the military, rose to a pretty high rank, was a renowed war hero, and then ended up retiring pretty early to tend to Seb's horses. That's an oversimplification, but yeah. He liked the military life, was very good at it, but decided he had done enough, and wanted to be involved in more direct service, albeit more laid back. As I mentioned in Mark's post, Mark *really* doesn't understand his choice to do this, because if Mark had been in Jense's position, he can't ever imagine being able to let all that go and living the quiet life.

He is the palace whore, everyone has been with him honestly. It'll be like, some man walks into his bedroom, only to see Jenson in bed with his wife, but instead of being angry, he's like "wow you couldn't even wait for me??" He's just very carefree, and happy to just slut around and tend to Seb's horses.

I think he definitely still advises Seb, and would go to battle if truly need be, but generally seems to be living in a different world than the weird psychosexual homoerotic political drama that the others seem to be living in. But as I said, it's not like he doesn't contribute to it! He loves to goad Fernando, and constantly plays devil's advocate in "debates" between Fernando and Seb. He's also obviously the one that keep "accidentally" locking them in rooms and forgetting where the key is.

Sorry if this isn't very explanatory, I hope it gives a general idea to the type of character he is???? As always, let me know if you have any questions! I kinda struggled on what to write here because I'm finishing this at almost 8 am 😭 so I'm not sure if it's great or not. But basically you need to know: horse fucker who is generally breezy and carefree but also can be a bit of a menace to society every once in a while.

i came across a (typical) reel of jason pov slander and the comments DIDN'T fail me for the very first time, EVER. Literally everyone was agressively defending him in the comments and called out how overused the whole "jason is so boring I couldn't wait to end his povs" videos were?? And all those comments had the most amount of likes??? jason grace defenders, I think our time has officially come. Our hardwork has paid off till the point it has reached the annoying Instagram pjo fandom to angrily condemn against anti jason videos and call out how dumb and unoriginal it is to hate on him simply because the majority of the fandom is and you wanna appear cool.

"no i will not stand for jason slander"

"what did jason ever do? Y'all just hate him bc he is capable enough to compete with percy"

"jason slander is so overrated. His povs were interesting y'all are just being dramatic bc you want to hate on him somehow"

YES. YES. YES. PREACH.

I was reading the post under your screenshots of Romeo. I'm curious. What is your theory on Romeo's death? Before he became a puppet?

Hmmm... I gave this some thought, so bear with me on this! Hear me out:

If we look at his skin here, prior to the explosion that burnt him... you'll see he still has kinda... dark spots on him? And his dialogue during the fight is very flame oriented.

Not to mention his Ergo, the very reflection of his heart, is titled "Burnt-White King's Ergo" and while it feels sorta like a copout, I feel like just maybe Romeo was victim to a fire. Krat was kinda burnt to the ground in a lot of places, after all. Subject 826 says so himself! And I really don't think he just means the newly burnt Opera House.

There's also the fire in the main section of Rosa Isabelle Street. So what I'm saying is... maybe... Romeo, after Carlo's death, graduated and became a Stalker himself. Remember, Carlo gave Romeo his own graduation pendant, meaning... Romeo hadn't graduated yet! Is Romeo maybe a grade behind? Younger? Less experienced, and therefore, made to stay longer? Who knows... But in the end, maybe, perhaps, as his duty to the people, he was helping people in, specifically, Rosa Isabelle Street? And got overwhelmed by the puppets there and died in a fire/burning building? (Leaning towards burning building, because his face prior to explosion doesn't look charred... just kinda dusty. So maybe a building collapse?)

Also, I'm comfortable saying he died at Rosa Isabelle Street because it's there that we find the "Notes from an Experiment" document!

His body had to have been close enough to drag into the Opera House in secret to experiment on, y'know? So I'm thinking maybe it's definitely his resting place (twice over, oof). It'd also be really sad if he really didn't even realize he had died? Like the death had been instantaneous.

"When the boy opened his eyes..." As in, one moment he was okay, and the next?? He was... not where he thought he would suddenly wake up at. Kinda my take on that...

This was extremely long, I apologize for that!! But thank you for the question!!!! ♡ It's loving Romeo hours up in here, he died trying to do what's right, I'm standing by that!!! How he took it upon himself to use his new found power to fight against the disease and alchemists just says enough of his character to say he definitely died being a hero!!

Artist: Btanimator

Can I say I wish I had this artist's speed...? The moment I bought from them, they told me they'd get a WIP together and it was like... 3AM, so I was thinking I'd check in the next day but in less than half an hr, she sends the WIP! And then sends a cleaned one...! Like holy heck!

What's funny about my gijinka King Boo seeming like he's using the magic staff as a cane here is in his old ref I made that an idea, but removed it. So cool the artist added it in their idea!

ONIGASHIMA TIME!!!!

[curejiraiya]

I just took a fever nap and had a really bizarre dream that I need to write down

So the dream took place at a WITH concert that I was at. The venue was a huge stadium and it was PACKED. I was like second or third near the front and I specifically had the Waccha PriMagi penlights with me to cheer.

During the break at the end that usually happens during PriPara concerts the voice actors for WITH and the rest of the DanPri guys came out and said their piece. But then the creative director of the pretty series (not the actual one a completely made up person in my mind,) came out on stage and was answering some FAQs about the franchise going forward. It was mostly like "yes WITH will make an appearance at the winter live." "Maybe the boys WILL get official mascots, stay tuned 😉."

One of the questions was about the DanPri stage shows, and the director went on a long tangent about how he didn't feel like they properly portrayed PriPara and for this moment they weren't continuing to make more of them. He specifically had an actress in a Laala cosplay come on the stage and act really dejected and sad. Then he explained that there wasn't a good place for Laala and the rest of the girls during the show and he didn't feel like live action was their medium.

Finally he paused to stare at the crowd and said "with that being said, we are pursuing a new 3.5d stage show for another pretty series property so stay tuned 😉" and then he turned to walk off the stage.

From where I stood in the second row but basically in front of where he was standing to answer questions I yelled "KING OF PRISM!" and suddenly the whole crowd started screaming KOP. On stage a projector screen decended from the ceiling and it turned on to reveal the King of Prism logo and the entire crowd went CRAZY.

It flipped to a second slide and it showed a cast listing page, that like I can remember pretty vividly. It was a set of 3 collums 6 rows with a green boarder on a tan background. The first column had new art of some characters, the second column seemingly had IRL actors but all of them were blacked out photos and blurred names. And the third column was a little wider and it had shorter text briefs about the characters.

There weren't a ton of characters listed. At the top was Kazuki with new art of him seemingly now 20 years old. He was in a green tank top with a university logo on it and had a ton of beers in his hands. His blacked out actor photo seemingly was in the exact same pose beers and all, though you couldn't guess who it was. I don't fully remember the text but it said something like "Kazuki Nishina is a world famous member of Over the Rainbow, but sometimes he just wants to be a regular college kid! Join him on his adventures at Avocado U dorm and see how he manages to keep up with old friends and what new friends he makes along the way."

Next was a new character that I don't remember. I vaguely remember them holding an art easel? It was definitely a masculine silluoette. Not much else. Their description was "?"

After that was another new character, it was a man dressed in a red Ninja costume, with long yellow hair. Sort of like Ushimitsu but it was clear he was supposed to be a red character. He also had an aggressive smirk. His actors blacked out photo was at a 3/4th profile and holding throwing stars. I don't remember his description but I think it brought up Leo's sisters by name.

After him was a tiny 4-6 year old Taiga. He was sitting on the floor and had on a green T-shirt with a dinosaur on it. He also had black shorts. He was making a XP kind of face. His actor was seemingly not a child. He was very cute. His description was like "Who's that? Does Kazuki recognize him? How did this child get on campus????? And why does he look so cute?"

After him was some type of sports bro who wore olive green. He had on a hoodie with the same logo as Kazuki and a football helmet. He also had a bandaid on his left cheek. He was a bigger guy and had a HUGE fucking smile like big himbo vibes. I instantly liked him. His blacked out actor photo held a football. His description was also "?"

The final row had another child character who was standing and looked a little bit older, it was Alec! Alexander didn't look like his dumb canon child form because my brain retconned that racist mess a long time ago. Instead he looked like Alec actually looks just smaller. He still had on a leather jacket and held a really aggressive glare. He was wearing a navy blue backpack that seemingly had a Dorachi plushie in it (the one that was in the Prism Stone inventory photo they tweeted yesterday.)

His actor was also seemingly an adult. His description was just the Japanese onomatopoeia for stare, which I'm pretty sure is "chiiiii."

As I get down near the bottom of this post the dream is starting to fade. There was a short animated section they showed that was mostly rough animatic with a single finished section. The finished section was Taiga sitting on the floor playing with a ball in Torachi's colors. I got the impression that Taiga and Alec were going to have a Tommy and Angelica-esque vibe.

The last thing I remember is in the dream I thought "this is cool I want to write this down," and I started jotting notes like these on a fucking white piece of printed paper. With a blue pen. But like holding the paper so I'm using the palm of my hand to brace it on lmao.

What a weird fucking dream.
