#idk whats with the hat and the monocle i was just feeling it

[astrowaffle]

Wow you guys really seemed to like the steampunk AU, that post got way more attention than I was expecting, so here's some more information and stuff:

-The world is still like a videogame that they got trapped in but now it’s a steampunk adventure-y type game with circus elements 

-The adventures are probably a bit different

-They’re probably more like, fantasy adventure video game style things with like puzzles and fighting? Idk I'm not a big gamer I've never actually played any steampunk video games. What are those like?

-Instead of circus tent, there is a big wagon thingy that I'll draw eventually

-there's still not much of a story and I'm not sure If there'll ever be

-I'd also kinda want to make some mini comics for this au but I suck at coming up with ideas :/

Pomni:  

-She likes to craft things

-friends with Gangle and Ragatha

-still very anxious but less anxious then normal Pomni?

-has a very logical mind and is good at puzzling things together but also doesn’t do well under pressure and typically panics in stressful moments where these skills might be useful

-She can play the flute because flutes are good, they are the best instrument. (I am totally not biased just because I play the flute in marching band)

-My headcanon for regular Pomni is that she’s less anxious than she initially is in the pilot after getting used to things, like, beyond the anxiety, her actual personality is very cheery and friendly, also very logical, because idk it just fits her somehow? So yea, that headcanon also applies to this au 

-but of course she is still an absolute nervous wreck because yes

-How else is she supposed to react in this situation

-also look at those fingerless gloves I want those

-the gears in her eyes turn when she is thinking

Gangle:

-Also likes crafting things

-friends with Pomni, Zooble, and Kinger

-she often borrows  sewing needles from Ragatha to sew her comedy mask back together when it’s torn, and also constantly tries to craft new ones

-She really likes her boots

-I don’t blame her those are some nice boots

-Ok wait a minute what if that little wing bow thingy on her head is actually a pen/quill that she can use to write stuff?

-ooooooh yes I like that

Caine: 

-✨monocle✨

-He can control the time of day with the clock that’s on his hat

-It’s a lot harder for him to heal injuries in this world, he can’t just instantly fix anything anymore it requires a bit more effort

-I’m doing this because I like when injury and pain and suffering

Bubble: um- idk it’s just bubble but now they’re a robot I guess

Kinger:

-ok but what if he had a collection of mechanical insects? Omg designing mechanical insects would be so fun-

-The clock that he wears is broken but he doesn’t notice. And Time is irrelevant anyways

-damn those gloves are fancy

-they probably feel really silky

-and his robe is also very silky because mmm good texture

Zooble:

-They are a robot now

-also a mechanic/inventor because nobody else is and somebody had to learn how to make new robot parts

-their right arm can go s t r e t c h

-bonds with Gangle over their hatred of Jax

-they’re also kinda protective over her

-I lowkey ship them (this ship is so underrated)

-No but seriously why do see zero art of this ship

- Zoob’s in denial about their feelings and still pretends not to care because they’ve had such a “I don’t give a shit about anything” attitude that suddenly developing feelings for someone has caught them off guard cause they suddenly are giving a shit about something and they don’t know how to handle it, But if Jax does anything to Gangle they will rush in to protect her in a heartbeat and just try to play it off as it just being because they don’t like Jax BUT WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH ZOOBLE JUST CONFESS ALREADY-

-ok that got way too rambly let's just move on now

Jax:

-MY FAVORITE

-he likes shiny things

-He will collect those shiny things

-He also very fast because look at those LANKY RABBIT LEGS

-I mean technically that’s already cannon, did you see how fast he ran away after seeing abstracted kaufmo? He just z o o m e d outta there

-those keys on the chain are only a small portion of his collection

-his room is definitely full of weird steampunk knick knacks because yes

-He uses them to prank people

-the centipedes he has to scare/annoy Ragatha are mechanical

-I’m so excited to design mechanical centipedes I love bugs so much guys you have no idea I finally have an excuse to draw insects and maybe people will actually care because it’s fandom related now

-He does not like getting wet. At all. (this is also just a general headcanon for him but especially in this au)

-floofy

Ragatha:

-the seams of her fabric are prone to tearing so she always carries a needle and thread to sew herself back together. she's good at sewing

-My main headcannon for normal Ragatha is that her button eye is a parallel to an eye injury she had in real life before joining the circus, but in this AU she probably acquired the injury in this universe.

-she’s good at using tools and weapons but not in like, a mechanic sorta way like Zooble but in a defense sorta way

-like, she’s very kind and caring but also sorta tough and even though her body is good at falling apart, she knows how to use strategy to fight and um wait what would they even be fighting-

-idk I haven’t thought about that yet

-Gloinks?????

-do those exist in this au???

-wait it’s my au why am I asking this

-overall she is very, “tries to help everyone else and seems very tough on the outside but is prone to falling apart both physically and mentally but just gets good at quickly patching it up and ignoring it until it become too much for her to bear”

-pls help her she needs therapy

-they all need therapy

-I’m pretty sure we’ve all established that at this point

-but I’m just making sure you know that it’s still a consistent factor in this au

SUPERNATURAL 5.19 “Hammer of the Gods” | REVIEW

i said i'd be reviewing SPN episodes, hee hee so here's the next.

OVERVIEW: Pagan gods hold a meeting to determine how they will respond to the Christian Apocalypse.

RATING: 7/10. i liked it!!!! there's only so many myth references you can cram into 45 minutes of screen-time, but i liked it tbh. there isn't much media with different myths interacting with each other, so i think this was pretty good!

AVAILABLE AT: again, idk where u can watch this for free sorry. if you have Prime or Binge, or maybe if u live in the US u can watch it on the CW or something

previous episode // all episodes // next episode

if you haven’t seen spn and intend to watch, do not read below unless you want spoilers!!!!!!

THINGS I LIKED / FACTS:

Mercury portrayal!!!!!!!!!!!!! the actor looked mischievous just like you'd imagine Mercury to be.

i liked the little nods to his speed with him typing on the computer extremely fast and nicking Dean's neck without being seen.

also, i think it's immensely suitable that Mercury was in charge of the hotel since he's the god of commerce (hotel is great for business!), travellers (travellers will stay at a hotel), messages (he's communicating with different gods to bring them together under one roof), and trickery (since the gods are conspiring to trick Lucifer).

Kali- disclaimer; idk much or really anything about hindu mythology, but Kali is the goddess of time, doomsday, and death according to Wikipedia..

this suits her character pretty well since she's appearing at Doomsday (the Christian Apocalypse but still)... and also she had a necklace around her neck that i think looked a little like a head of some sort? and a skull chain around her waist! i think this is a nod to the chain of heads that she's usually depicted with.

Elysian Fields as the hotel name. Elysium is not part of the Underworld, but usually considered a separate place entirely, and was pretty exclusive-- only certain heroes and righteous mortals specially chosen by the gods could enter Elysium, and this is paralleled on the show because only certain people enter the hotel-- Dean and Sam are intentionally let in to the place so the gods can hold them hostage.

funny Ganesh elephant moment- not strictly accurate because im pretty sure Ganesh just has the head of an elephant but isn't an elephant himself..?

the gods poking fun at their myths lmfaooooo and forgetting their own ages.

Baldur and "Loki" tensionnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!! i know it's not actually Loki, but yeah i liked it. nice nod to Loki being the cause of Baldur's death.

the whole concept of "what happens to the other gods during one team's end of days"... it's such an intriguing idea, and i honestly like the way SPN dealt with it.. all the gods at odds with each other, undermining each other's apocalypse beliefs.. having to team up together to deal with another apocalypse. but i think the team of gods they chose was strange.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE / DISAGREED WITH:

Odin looked like an Odin, but he had BOTH eyes??? i feel like it would have been so easy to make Odin more distinct by giving him an eyepatch, or a monocle, or maybe 2 different coloured eyes or something!! just something about his eyes because that's his most distinct feature. and a hat!

Baldur. handsome sure, but i'm hesitant about his role here. Baldur is the guy whom everyone loves, so for him to be having a romance with Kali who is kind of violence and the opposite of Baldur seems strange and out of place. i think Baldur could have been replaced by Tyr-- still not as mainstream as "Thor" but closer to accuracy?

also. Baldur should be in Hel so i'm not sure how he got out and how he's walking around free-spirited. it's a pretty essential part of his myth tbh.

also we know Ragnarok hasn't taken place yet to free Baldur from Hel because Odin himself says "lol the apocalypse hasn't started yet" and he makes a joke about getting eaten by Fenrir.

the gods having humans as their "meal". honestly i don't think i've heard of gods consuming mortals as a snack-- usually it's taboo for the gods to eat mortals, see Demeter and Pelops. so i thought this was kinda strange.. i know it's just a gore factor for the show but i meannnn really?

minor thing really, but Kali's shirt was red? i think it would've been a better nod if it was blue because like she's usually depicted blue.

okay fr tho here’s a wishlist. i made them all the time for fun over the last uhhhh, six months?

🖋 Ike Eveland

i know that’s a beret but wouldn’t it be so darling if it had nautical themes. like a little sailor hat. wouldn’t that be such a slay

why’s your hand in a fist bud. i need to make an edit of this like that one arthur meme

fr tho i would trade a kidney for tentacle themes here please please please. i want a lovecraftian eldritch type vibe soooooo bad

think his turtleneck’s going to be an open jacket? just on vibe

and i have a feeling his glasses will stay the same but wouldn’t it be so cute if he had a different frame. wouldn’t it be funny if they were funky glasses too, like stars or hearts

(honestly i don’t have a lot of opinions on his fit but i DO have a feeling he’s cooking up either a lore video or a song release to follow the outfit reveal he’s been too busy of a boy lately)

oh update i just saw this tweet and ike with different bangs. awwww. that would be so cute. perfect timeline fr fr

🦁 Luca Kaneshiro

i am clinging onto the last hope that the side ponytail is on his left side and low along his chest bc his shorter hair reminds me too much of banri settsu and that is not a problem i think i have the mental state to handle rn.

i’d be able to handle it if his tits we’re out tho : )

a bomber jacket with fur would be really cool esp if it still has the pins/brooches on his og suit jacket and the triangle pattern from his hairclip especially since the side ponytail’s in limbo rn

ohhhh and i hope he gets more tattoos too, idk maybe it’s because i’m american and the way that i am but it doesn’t really feel like he has all that much for a guy known for his tattoos. bonus points if he thinks of symbolism for it too like fuck yes we love worldbuilding we love meaningful body mods slay king

WHY IS HIS WAIST SO SNATCHED THO. i have a feeling the jacket’ll be cropped

wait a minute hold on wtf is the fuzzy thing on the left side all the way down. is that a boa. did he bamboozle us. hold on

🦊 Mysta Rias

left brain: that’s a monocle

right brain: that is an ear cuff with a chain and he is living his best goth life :)

left brain: that is a monocle and he is a detective. find jesus

i really don’t know what else to take out of this one tho. idk i don’t think the hat is it for me,, i think i liked his old hair more too

he got a helix tho let’s go!!!!

i’m p sure it’s going to be more detective themed than his og outfit but in my heart of hearts what if we let him be a manwhore. what if his midriff was out. what if it showed off his hips. i’m unit 4402 and i’m the official editor of vogue magazine

*prays so hard that his old hair is compatible with the new outfit*

👟 Shu Yamino

god

why is he so beautiful but his personality is so bro

i don’t see how we beef this one

i think he won

👹 Vox Akuma

okayyyyy i don’t have a lot of expectations for vox bc dramatic af and i really don’t see this being a bad call. all roads lead to the destination

i know in my soul he’s about to drop some zesty angsty lore tomorrow, but also hehe ponytail

AYO WAIT HOLD ON AT THE BOTTOM LEFT

IS THAT A THUMB

HE FINALLY UNCROSSED HIS ARMS

IF YOU’RE NOT WEARING NAILS YOU’RE NOT DOING DRAGGGGGG

yeah

BNHA/MHA First Watch-Through Notes

1x01

these are... stupid... and... a mess. bc I am stupid and a mess. you have had your warning. I didn’t even go back and skim through this when I was done I’m just releasing these little bastard thoughts into the void they’re not my problem now

I’m watching dubbed btw

I know, I know... it’s the only one I have access to rn tho

I... do not know how to feel about funimation’s new intro?

well I guess it’s not really new but

listen I haven’t watched anything of funimation’s since the og fruits basket ok I’m used to the DUN-DUN *funimation* ((....you should be watching))

he is. babie. green babie.

but also why do these small children have such wild hair colors

I mean I’m here for it

I just wasn’t expecting it

oH SHIT THEY GOT POWERS POWERS

so this is the famous deku

I’m guessing this is like a flashback or memory or something?

I missed the bully’s name

speaking of the bullies, they changed order? It was wings, fire, stretchy hands, but now it’s fire, stretchy hands, wings. I know that they probably wanted to show the “leader” closest and that’s why but,,

also wtf?? these are kids. like bullies should not be a thing, I think we can all agree on that, but yeah, it’s gonna happen. but these kids are, what? eight? nine? maybe their powers (’quirks,’ whatever) aren’t super powerful yet, but this blonde kid has fire powers. has nobody talked to them about just how dangerous this is? forget roughing the other two up or intimidating them or giving them a hard time, this could genuinely escalate and get way out of hand super fast, and someone could get seriously injured.

oof. boy is dead.

this eight year old (purple hair) sounds like he’s a thirty yo new teacher trying to sound hip and cool but also wise and knowing to his class who Does Not Care

OH

that wasn’t purple kid?? that was current deku???

wack

then this fourteen year old sounds like he’s a thirty yo new teacher trying to sound hip and cool but also wise and knowing to his class who Does Not Care

also they were four?

jeepers heckin criminey who starts beating people up at four years old

have to say though, I loved that sky-to-puddle transition

jiminey fucking crickets I’m not even a minute into the episode these notes are going to be stupidly long I’m sorry

!! I love his little skipping-dance thing when he’s impatient at the crosswalk!

alright... I’ll admit it... his character design is pretty adorable

also tf is that thing

it looks half shark half poorly drawn dog

I mean I get it’s probably a person and that’s their quirk or whatever but

did this kid just run all the way across the city just to watch this guy start shit at the station so he could see the heroes take him down??

I mean respect tbh but also priorities kid

also I really appreciate that the cops are just kind of calmly directing everyone and everyone else is just kind of chillin like “oh. another villain. that’s too bad.” like tbh that’s one of the things that always kind of annoys me about movies and shows like this where there’s like repeatedly villain attacks because yes they are scary, especially when you’re caught up in them, but if you’re just kind of there and not directly in the action or being directly threatened, then why are you freaking out? you’ve lived in this city for how long? there’s an attack every, what, two days? this isn’t routine for you by now?

I started this like 15 min ago and am only like a minute and a half into the ep smh

ngl this intro kinda pops off

that hero guy seemed... kind of evil lookin tho

love the animation oml

also the lyrics to this are great???

OH IS THAT A NARRATIVE FOIL I SEE IMPLIED THERE

I THINK IT IS

“and they were narrative foils” “oh my god they were narrative foils”

k ngl rewinding real quick bc I missed some of the intro and there’s always so much fun stuff to see and unpack in those

also I wanna read all the lyrics

k so I was wondering this before but I’m just gonna say it... why does the hero guy have rabbit ears

alright character designs lookin p fire so far

last guy I keep missing but he kind of looks like steven universe?? idk I still have to watch that show too tbh so,,,

does the big hero guy turn into a giant bird?

oh that intro got me excited for this

these characters look so lit!!

“the first incident?” so this isn’t just like a natural factor of their world? it hasn’t always been going on? there was, like, a definitive start to it all? was that kid really the first incident or the first one they noticed? was that actually the first incident or is it just like the commonly told first incident, like an old myth/legend/folktale/old wive’s tale?

interesting that it started with a baby and then moved to people of all ages?

oh they don’t know the cause of the quirks? interesting

((why do I feel like finding out the answer to that is gonna be like A Big Thing™ at some point in the series))

I really like the visuals they put with this exposition?? idk why it’s just,,, very appealing

also his voice is very nice to listen to tbh, so that’s a definite plus

I hate it when the main character’s voice is super annoying

but like how long ago was it that this started? he just said “before long”

I like that in this universe they actually acknowledge that hey comic books are a thing and this whole superheroes/villains/powers thing is kind of ridiculous bc it’s legit like playing out scenes straight from those comic books but also this is real life and it’s actually happening and really does pose a lot of danger and complications to a lot of people, so we’re going to treat it as something real and serious and affecting us

I might’ve spoken too soon but I really hope they don’t blow that mindset

I feel like too often superhero shows/movies just either completely gloss over the effects this stuff has on society as a whole, or it’s like a completely new thing for them, like there’s never been the concept of a fictional superhero or a comic book there before.

“was an age of heroes”??? oh no what happens

k but why is this guy dressed like the ‘do not cross’ lines

kind of a lame hero costume tbh :/

why. does he have. sleeves. but no shirt.

edna mode would never do you like that honey go see her

“Death Arms”?? what kind of alias is that?? also wouldn’t it make more sense for arms to be uncovered than his chest, then??

“The Punching Hero”

I’m sorry I Cannot take this guy seriously

waterbending??

asdkfdls idk why but this firehose guy really reminds me of that one alchemist from fmab with the top hat and the monocle and the peg leg that spun like a top and Scar murked

“rescue specialist” see?? that makes sense!! it makes me so happy that they’re actually thinking more about the worldbuilding and how dangerous scenarios would work if 80% of the population had powers of different kinds, beyond “big bad guy meet big good guy. punch punch good guy wins”

also dear god thank you for putting someone on crowd control I know I was just saying it was great these people weren’t really treating this like the end of the world and it is good that they were mostly staying back by themselves but. they were still standing very close to an ongoing fight. priorities, people. self preservation. they are things. that I do not believe most people in superhero universes have in the slightest.

aww he’s too short

(but is he shorter than edward elric)

((do we know))

(((somebody please tell me if this information is available)))

alsdfkj l;a that guy calling in late bc the train got held up by the villain... do you think that’s another equivalent of “oh...I’m...sick... yeah, totally, I’m sick” and “my dog ate my homework” to them? “there was a villain attack” or “some idiot on my block decided to show off their quirk and it got out of hand”

ope Big Hero™ is here

...why am I surprised that they have fans?? I mean I guess that makes sense they’re basically celebrities and public figures right?

okay Big Hero™ is Kamui got it

wait no that is not the Big Hero™

but they are another hero and their name is Kamui got it

“Kamui Woods” ok that’s actually helpful I was gonna ask what his skin was supposed to be bc I didn’t think it was scales and it does look kind of like bark... Now going to take that as permission to assume it’s the latter

kamui kind of reminds me of some pokemon but I’m not sure which one?? I’m sorry idk pokemon v well but thy def remind me of one of them

“...a fAnBOY” he looks and sounds like he just tricked someone into confessing to murder why is he so smug about that smh

you know what. speaking of. I don’t get why everyone views being a fan of something/someone as something to be embarrassed or ashamed about?? why do people make fun of other people for it? why do we treat it like some big dark secret we try to hide? when did liking something become a bad thing? like?? sorry I have hobbies and interests and you don’t? sorry I think this person is talented? sorry I thought this book was life-changing? sorry I listen to this album so much because it’s good? sorry this show made me laugh during a really rough time? like goddamn it’s nobody’s business what you like unless you’re trying to force it on you when you’ve asked them to stop or it’s hurting someone? if they’re being safe and respectful about it for everyone involved then there shouldn’t be a problem? stop making people feel like freaks or be scared to enjoy something just a little too much? just let people have good things in life and consume the media that makes them happy? it has little to no effect on you? I don’t get why it’s you’re problem?? sorry to get all soapboxy this is something that’s always really annoyed me

does kamui have flowers on their belt

icon

k but isn’t wood like... really easy to break tho

I mean... comparatively speaking?

“illegal use of powers during rush hour traffic” alsfjsadlkf

wait so he’s listing charges for the guy, does that mean heroes are officially licensed here and can actually arrest people? and... actually work with law enforcement?? gasp no wait but I thought that was impossible except for The One Officer On The Inside That The Hero Has Convinced Of Their Cause™

hold up... “assault, robbery, and illegal use of powers during rush hour traffic... you are the incarnation of evil” ...bro chill lmao

I mean those aren’t good things but,,,, buddy “evil” can get so much worse holy shit sunflower child has no idea what’s in store for them

the show can do a hell of a lot even if they decide not to go that dark

well deku did say he was new

also off topic but I just looked it up and DEKU IS HALF A FOOT TALLER THAN ED

I’M SORRY BUT THAT’S HILARIOUS

CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS EXCITED GREEN CHILD MEETING ED THE GREMLIN ELRIC AND JUST TOWERING OVER HIM

he’d probably get along well w al though so ed would have to like him anyways

ok but back to bnha

ope kamui just got upstaged

but honestly?? he was actin a lil cocky and she seems like a queen so I ain’t mad about it

oh great creeps are everywhere apparently

YES THANK YOU THEY NEED TO INCLUDE SUPERPOWERS IN LEGISLATION SOMEHOW OTHERWISE PEOPLE CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING GEEZ

just. more worldbuilding that I appreciate.

jfc they muzzled him?

ok i wasn’t that mad about kamui being upstaged (idk why I kinda like the guy) but now she’s acting a little too cocky for me and I feel kind of bad for Death Arms and Backdraft (?) because they definitely do deserve at least a little credit

yes. official. overseen by the government. I’m not saying it’s necessarily a good idea bc I’m not getting into the whole mess the MCU basically did regarding that, but it really does add to the worldbuilding and making it seem more realistic/draw you in a little more because you can bet that would be a thing that would actually happen in some capacity if such a large percentage of the population had superpowers, and crime was at an all-time high at the same time, with normal methods without powers likely not doing much to combat that, and it being even harder because everyone’s is different

wow so they really do have roles similar to celebrities huh?

I actually love how he’s analyzing the new hero

that’s!! the good!!! nerdery!!!!

ngl thought that guy was gonna be like “well that’s never gonna happen” lmao glad he didn’t turn out to be an asshole

this guy’s hair and his sweater need an upgrade

I’m sorry honey it’s just not a Look™

I mean ngl I’d probably wear it but also I am the absolute last person to look to for a good idea of fashion so

wow we hate asshole teachers

this kid’s hair grows wtf

they seriously just break out their quirks when they get annoyed?? I mean me too probably but

oh wait he’s not totally an asshole

but that still is kind of a dick move because even if it seems really really likely that most of them do, a lot of them probably feel like that’s just what’s expected of them or that that’s their best bet at an ok life, or they don’t think they’ll actually be able to get a career as a hero, and he has to know that there are kids (or at least one) in his class who don’t have powers and who will probably be shut down at every turn on that career track??

also what is it with the absurd number of people whose hair grows/flys/whatever and whose hands change chape and/or elongate

the girl who just throws up the rock n roll sign is my favorite

also why does this teacher remind me of gilderoy lockhart

I get that his eye thing is part of his quirk... but does he face no consequences health-wise from putting his grubby fingers all over his eyeballs?? you don’t know where your hands have been

ah

the famed bakugo

we finally meet

you seem like a cocky asshole and if I remember correctly you have firepowers

you know who else seemed like cocky assholes and one point or another and had firepowers??

roy mustang and zuko

and one of those guys is an awkward, angry turtleduck, and the other one is a rightly smug bastard who succeeded in pulling a coup on the government who was surveilling him and holding half his team hostage

so yeah I have a feeling I’m gonna like this guy

probably

at some point

eventually

it might take a while

“the only place worthy of me” oh dear

All Might!! Big Hero™ has a name!!

oh being a hero solely bc you want to be rich and popular? lame

aklsdfsjaslkfd teach just callin deku out in front of everyone

r.i.p.

it was nice having you as a main character for eight whole minutes I’m sorry you have to face death-by-embarrassment you deserved better

ope

bakugo doesn’t want anyone stealin his thunder

lemme guess deku is also his Main Rival™ or at least will be

awwwww poor guy

how much you wanna bet he gets the highest scores in all the exams bc he studies the heroes so much and that’s how he gets in

that lady got forcefields for her quirk? damn she lucked out

“this cash is mine” *drops cash*

are all the heroes like fine mt. lady can deal w the guy she keeps stealing all our credit anyway so there’s no point??

....is that all might?

k but... y’all should be taking notes on the heroes too if you want a better chance at that career and better schools for it? I know they’re probably making fun of it bc he doesn’t have a quirk but still

also I find it really interesting that the kids all act like the quirks are absolutely everything but at that scene on the street earlier people were complaining about missing the days they didn’t have to worry about “every rando w a quirk” or something... like maybe it’s because the kids grew up w it? Idk just the difference in mindset between (presumably) generations seems cool to look into

wow we love bullies so much

no we don’t pls stop you’re not as cool as you think you are

DESTROYING SOMEONE’S NOTEBOOK/JOURNAL/SKETCHBOOK IS ONE OF THE MOST DICK MOVES SOMEONE CAN MAKE CHANGE MY MIND

alright bakugo you’ve definitely moved onto my shitlist for the moment

don’t stay there

well you know what they say about greatness... some people are destined for it, yeah, but some become it, and some have it thrust upon them

cliches are there for a reason buddy

and either way... I could be wrong but... there doesn’t seem like anything great or heroic about bullying people... I mean idk that’s just my opinion but

god I hope they eat bakugo alive at ua

deku I know you’re a sunshine child but you have to get in now. you have to. out of pure spite. please.

yeah, friend 1b is right buddy...

destroy him deku

DESTROY THEM DEKU

oh suicide jokes huh

bakugo you’re on thin fucking ice you’ve just moved way up in my shit list

wow I hate him <3

EXACTLY

THANK YOU DEKU

I hate it when shows have someone make a suicide joke like that and just? no one addresses it?? or the characters don’t seem to realize that it needs addressing, at least to themselves??? so this is refreshing

voiced my thoughts exactly

he really is an idiot

NO BUDDY YOUR DREAMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE AND VALID

YOUR NOTES ARE SALVAGEABLE

he really is a jerk deku you’re right

awww little deku is so cute

alright I’m gonna make a prediction

this is his mom right

is this gonna be

another

dead anime mom?

and lemme guess she always told him she was sure he’d be a hero/she knew he’d become one, and then she died, and that’s why he’s so set on it

probably not

but just... placing my bets now

w h a t  is this child doing

he’s a hair’s breadth away from head-desking

are we... just gonna... ignore that robbery that was happening on the street a few minutes ago

OKAY WE GET IT YOU’RE HERE CAN YOU GO BACK TO SAVING PEOPLE THEY’RE STILL IN DANGER

HIS CACKLES I CAN’T

alsdkjf;lsjk I feel bad for him but also,,, that transition was gold

but also the face his mom made before he started laughing... she knew he probably wouldn’t get one didn’t she

but why do they assume it won’t happen if they don’t get it by a certain age? they said after that baby people all around the world were getting powers, and showed people of all different ages when they said so. that implies that they got those powers at those ages, after the baby was born but not when they were children themselves? like yeah there’s probably some point where you’d consider them “aged out” and therefore less likely to get a quirk but... she just said he’s in kindergarten.

fourth generation? so the appearance of quirks isn’t a super recent thing then

they can tell if someone is going to manifest a quirk or is starting to by looking at x-rays?

also I know I’m seriously overusing the word “interesting” but

maybe I’m reading too far into this but it’s also kind of interesting that his father and his (current) main antagonist have such similar powers?

OH!!!! lore drop!! kind of!!! that’s a really interesting (wow there it is again) thing they chose to be an indicator for that kind of thing in this universe

*cue izuku contemplating chopping off his pinky toes*

I feel like... all might’s... not gonna be that great....

DEAR LORD HOW MANY TEARS CAN THIS CHILD HOLD IN HIS EYES

also ngl when little deku’s eyes are wide and he doesn’t move he looks really creepy and kind of like a child-sized doll

like pinocchio

how sure are we that deku isn’t made of wood

hmmmmmmmmm I do love this animation

ah Internal Angst™

the fuck is that laughter??

skin suit? no thanks

but guess we aren’t ignoring that earlier scene

yeah all might’s in the city alright

he’s gonna break this up isn’t he

yepppppp that’s him

idk I think alex louise armstrong did it better sorry bud :/

“texas smash”??

he just... punched liquid apart

this kid’s still gonna go flying and hit the ground hard buddy thanks for your help

oh he stuck around

and he’s not hurt too bad

“justicing”

he’s using the city’s sewer system being difficult to navigate as his excuse for why he wasn’t paying attention to keeping bystanders safe like he “usually” does?

the armstrongs do the sparkle better

a;ldkfsdlfls this is really funny to watch ngl

“that’s... a pretty good point.” yeah no shit lmao

I love how he’s just. awkwardly patting deku.

yeah he’s gonna end up accidentally adopting this kid isn’t he

is he hurt?? or did the other guy actually take him over while deku was unconscious??

nah I think he’s just hurt I’m p sure he really did get the guy

but still

that was... a big boom.... that’s not good

he’s just.... abandoning this kid on the rooftop??

but also he probably really does have to go if blood is coming out of his mouth

do heroes in this universe have secret identities?

I feel like yes but also no??

watch as this guy’s like “I don’t have a quirk either” and he’s just. like. an armstrong or something

that or he’s gonna crush this kid’s dreams and be like “no, it’s not possible” and I will be forced to ensure deku becomes the most successful hero ever out of Even More Pure Spite™ even if he idolizes the guy

oh yeah he’s gonna get his dreams crushed

IS ALL MIGHT GONNA VOUCH FOR HIM AND GET HIM AN OPPORTUNITY AT UA BC HE FEELS BAD FOR HIM

hmm this outro kinda slaps too

overall feelin good, like it so far, definitely think I won’t have trouble continuing watching at least for now

#1 - Tide of Terror

Setting: not to piss off my brit followers, but the UK isn’t the most interesting place to set the first level of a game. that being said, the Isle of Wrath doesn’t feel British at all. we’re treated to a hub in the form of a huge ship and each mission captures the mood perfectly. it’s half aristocrat mansion, half mechanical, demonic boiler room. the ship embodies Sir Raleigh’s character: the hallway at the beginning of High Class Heist shows what kind of frog he is, Into the Machine highlights that he’s the Fiendish Five’s chief machinist, whereas Gunboat Graveyard puts his crimes into context by displaying the sunken war planes and submarines. also, something i’ve just noticed: all of the levels in Thievius Racoonus are an upscale battle. if you think about it, all the bossfights take place at a high spot. Sir Raleigh’s blimp, Muggshot’s penthouse, Mz Ruby’s skull croc head, Panda King’s mountain hideout, Clockwerk’s tower. and on the maps, the bossfights are placed on the upper centre part showing how Sly slowly makes his way to the top. neat! on that note, Raleigh’s blimp is bitchin’. other notes: Tide of Terror represents the blue in Thievius Raccoonus’s spectrum of colors and it does a fine-ass job at it.

Characters: most of y’all already know that SP switched Tide of Terror with Fire in the Sky and i think this was a good decision, because frankly, Sir Raleigh makes for a kickass first villain. he’s one of the least memorable villains in the series but at least the frog plays his role. we don’t get much out of the dialogue with him but it’s ok because, as i’ve said above, the rooms on his ship showcase his character down to a T. also, his bossfight is a ki. i wish my tongue was that long yeesh. in terms of the gang, this is the player’s first outing with Sly! both him and Bentley look like babies on the binocucom. and that’s what SP was trying to convey, i guess: this is Sly’s first (playable) mission. he’s a young raccoon, who’s just embarked on this journey for vengeance. he’s got drive but is still relaxed.

Themes: i feel like Sly doesn’t really grasp the gravity of the situation at the beginning of the game. he’s driven solely out of vengeance, but he doesn’t know how to channel all this anger. by the end, he’ll face Clockwerk and defy him by knowing exactly what the word ‘hate’ means. but for now, he’s a naive baby raccoon at the very beginning of his story. and the pressure starts building up. that’s represented by the ferocity of Raleigh’s machines. the steam, the fire, the harsh engine sounds; that’s pressure as a theme. it’s a display of Sly’s bottled-up emotions and rage. and this comes into direct contrast with the theme of artifice and class distinctions. Tide of Terror has a duality to it. you’ve got the nitty gritty engine levels, but also the clean, piano music heists. this contrast between boilers and libraries, engines and Mona Lisas, it shows how Sir Raleigh’s an aristocrat of a villain and how the walrus guards are the working force. they even wear overalls and those Duffy Duck worker hats. their attacks are modelled after the tools they’re holding for fuck’s sake. bottom line is that, as clean and high-class as Raleigh seems to be, he’s a piece of filth because of his dishonourable crimes. last one might be a stretch but i also picked up on the motif of being watched. you’ve got the skulls with the glowing eyes, you’ve got that ‘Private’ sign in Stealthy Approach that has an eye on it, you’ve got those eye squids in Gunboat Graveyard. idk it feels as if Sir Raleigh is big brother and Sly is constantly being monitored. in the opening cutscene, the frog’s even got that monocle glass thing.

What I Like: my favorite mission from the episode is Gunboat Graveyard because of the music and the cute lil alien eye squids. it’s a vibe. other than that, i really like the location even though i’m not one for rain. if we’re really looking at detail, i also love the fact that when you’re in the main hub you can hear seagulls screeching every now and then.

What I Don’t Like: Treasure in the Depths, duh.

Quote: How delightful. We have a guest. The only thing is... I HATE UNEXPECTED GUESTS!

((Day 3 of this

I rushed this a bit, so I’ll admit, I’m not entirely proud of how this came out. But I did at least manage the core design choices that I’m proud of.

First, 5.0.5., the only one I’m actually proud of. Basically, I wanted to avoid just slapping a bow and eyelashes on her and call her a girl. I wanted to make her look physically like a female bear, so I looked up the gender difference for bears. The most significant one was the black bear, so I took it to heart for her design. Essentially, male black bears have rounder heads that make their ears look small in proportion to their heads, and they tend to have bigger, broader bodies. Meanwhile, the girls tended to have narrower heads that make their ears look big in proportion to their heads, and their bodies tended to be smaller and leaner. idk how well I portrayed that, but I’m kinda proud none the less.

Now, Black Hat, Lady Black Hat rather than Lord Black Hat, his based off of Victorian women, since that was the time period that canonly influenced his aesthetics. Specifically, I tried to base it loosely off this dress. I replaced the cane with a parasole because Victorian lady- As for her hat, I also looked up Victorian women’s head dress and slapped that on her. I also tried to have the brim cover up her left eyes, since Victorian women actually don’t often wear monocles. It didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped, but I kinda had to move one. Again, rushing it. I also refused to give her hair, because a pet peeve or mine is giving female versions of bald male characters hair. Like. Especially if said character isn’t human. Now reason for that, in my opinion. Just keep them bald, they look more interesting-

Now for Flug, who uses that moniker as a girl because it’s just the first part of her surname, was one that was a little fun to play with. I didn’t quite have a ful picture of what I wanted, but I did have one core design choice I wanted; the bump on the back of her bag, if it wasn’t obvious, was intentional. Essentially, it’s supposed to imply that she had her hair up in a bun underneath. Something that scientists with long hair usually do is tie their hair up in a pony tail or bun before doing the science stuff, so I felt it fit her. I decided against the ponytail, because that would show a bit of hair, and the point of the bag was always to keep Flug’s facial and head features hidden. I also remembered Flug’s dislike of showing skin and incorporated it into her design. I gave her not only a skort [a skirt and shorts hybrid] but I also gave her leggings with little airplanes on them because I thought it would be fitting. Also, not a design thing, but her real name is “Barbra Flugslys”, a nod to his real name canonly being “Kenning Flugslys” and him not liking being called “Ken” because it reminded him of the Ken Doll. Similarly, Barbra doesn’t like being called “Barbie” because of the Barbie Doll.

And last, we have Demencia, or Alzheimer in this case. Now, this one was the hardest one to work with, because I felt if I kept the hair, it would just be Demencia without makeup, but at the same time, I still wanted to somehow keep the lizard motif she had. Eventually I settled with just giving him a hoody with a tail part thing. idk how effective that is but blah. I did give him the design details I wanted, however; The ripped sleeve and pant leg. They’re supposed to replace her stockings and glove, essentially. One regret I have, however; I feel I should have given him stubble for five o’clock shadow. Woulda given him a more sorta crazy look, I feel. oh well. Maybe someday I’ll have another chance to draw them so I can fix their designs...

Until then, y’all have to settles with these.))

[ahcwolves]

Bro I really wanna fucking write this and this whole thread is fucking amazing and talented, but just one thing. Remy isn’t a Sanders Side so he isn’t involved in this AU.

But also, what about Deceit?

Schools don’t allow you to wars hats (most schools) do Deceit doesn’t wear one

Deceit’s name is Ethan bc of the ethos pathos logos thing and Ethos matches Deceit

Ethan also doesn’t have all that “snake makeup” but he actually does have a “snake eye” that’s real and isn’t a contact.

Or his “snake eye” is a contact bc he can’t see out of that one eye and he doesn’t wanna be bullied for a monocle so he wears that contact and he got it designed like a snake eye.

He wears a lot of button-up shirts that have some sort of yellow on them. Sometimes wears hoodies but always wears yellow.

When Ethan moves to the school, he is transferred to the Mr. Sanders class as one of his classes and he legit doesn’t get mixed up but Mr. Sanders doesn’t like his amount of pathological lying and grows to dislike him and notices how Virgil has a specific taste of hate for him.

The other Sanders don’t like Ethan bc he’s a trouble maker and does a lot of bad stuff (dealing drugs, possibly a gang, etc) but it’s because of his awful home life and possible abuse.

Remus is the only one who actually likes Deceit and cares about him.

Virgil has a past with Ethan because they went to the same elementary school for all of elementary but then Ethan moved when they hit middle school so when Ethan moves back in sophomore/junior/senior year (not freshman bc we need the other sides to have at least their first full year in high school without him)

Deceit was also actually in middle school for part of 6th grade (first year in middle school. Middle school is 6-8) so Roman, Patton, Logan, and Remus are aware of him but didn’t really know him. And they honestly forgot about him when he moved. But Virgil didn’t.

Ethan possibly bullies Virgil for xyz reason(s) or he has something to do with Virgil’s personal life. Maybe Virge bought drugs from him or he used to be in his gang and no one knows. Or maybe he’s involved in a blackmail with him. Either way, Virgil despises Ethan.

Ethan then gets transferred out of the Mr. Sanders class but he still exists and no one mixes him up because of his eye. And, he doesn’t do the swap thing with anyone, he just sometimes shows up looking like someone else to fuck with people.

Deceit has a sympathetic side, but clearly doesn’t want to show it. He only shows it to Remus. Remus enjoys Ethan’s company.

And as for Virgil’s bad history w/ Remus, he used to bully him before Roman became friends with him (and if you’re a Prinxiety shipper like me, then his boyfriend too).

Virgil hates Ethan, but doesn’t hate Remus. He’s just terrified of him bc of the abuse and trauma from him that no one really knows about, not even the others. But Ethan knows because he’s used it against him in the short period of time in 6th grade and still brings it up in high school. Remus has told him. Remus still taunts Virgil. Ethan and Remus both do.

That’s all I got for now, but feel free to add more idk lol.

@thatsthat24

Sanders Sides highschool AU where none of them are related but they all have the same last name so their senior quotes all match up like so:

Logan: No, we’re… Patton: …not related… Roman: …so, please… Virgil: …stop asking.

[yeehawkins]

alright yall strap in bc this is gonna get long

too tired to constantly misspell the names so ima shorten them

bl4cc h4t- Hat

f1ug- Dr. F

D3m3ntia- Dem

ok i dont remember everything and in a super linear timeline but i remember details and what order they happened in

idk where this fits in w the dream but i remember i was in coding class and i had to complete this thing before i could leave, but i had missed a whole step in the instructions. all i remember was i had to fill in some boxes a certain way/find the pattern

---

there was some sort of evil ruler queen person. she had gone made with power and we had to stop her. so me and (i’m p sure) some of the animals from the madagascar movie (deffo the lion, possibly the giraffe and monkeys) made a plan. we were building and testing out turning a very large palm tree and turning it into a helicopter (like not even make it look like one. power came from the bottom of the tree, propellers were made under the leaves). we were gonna somehow use this to stop the queen.

the evil queen was going to sacrifice everyone in the village to the volcano. everyone had to go in a single file and throw themselves in. our plan was that i go along w friends, aka Hat, Dem., and possibly more ppl like my real life friends. i think the helicopter was gonna be used to either knock the queen off her throne into the volcano, or plug the volcano up. or maybe it was just gonna be a big enough protest to stop her.

well, it wouldnt start. the helicopter. this thing is hidden just a few hundred yards away from the sacrifice location among other palm trees, but they couldn’t get it in the air. the sacrifices were starting

and i noticed, Dr. F wasn’t with us. he was like, the third person in line (my group was somewhere in the middle, it was a long line). i looked up and saw him throwing himself in there.

i think i legit woke up because i was so scared/sad for him, i know i was in dream but gdi HE DIED or so we think but i actually went back to sleep to continue the dream (i think this is like, the 2nd time this has ever happened? possibly the first for a good dream)

i was getting so nervous, Hat kept assuring me it was all fine (that or he was like “well i guess we’re dying”). but then something stopped the sacrifices. i wanna say it was the helicopter finally lifting up but im not sure. it could’ve been Dem. or Hat doing something? idk

---

so now that Dr. F is basically dead, Hat and Dem. decide to take me in (not even as a new scientist but just to keep me around). we weren’t even at Hat’s normal headquarters. we were like, in the convention place i usually go to IRL. only there were very few people there and there weren’t a ton of booths. we hung out in some back room and decided i need a new wardrobe for my new life. apparently the bathrooms each had a bag of clothes in them that i could try out, but the closest one we tried out either didn’t have anymore clothes or i didn’t like any that it had. i feel like a girl from my robotics team that i didn’t like was in there, i don’t think i acknowledged her.

Hat can’t go into the bathrooms bc they girls bathrooms, so we when walk back out he’s just waiting there. and he lets me try on his hat? both hats, so he is now hatless. i got to see what was under there. he was bald, and had a shiny, while plate on one side of his head (the side w the monocle). he tells me “not bad” when i try them on but i decide he needs the hats. and as we’re walking back to the back room i go “i knew you didn’t have cat ears under there!” (in reference to a post i can’t find rn). he laughs and we return, and he wants Dem. to walk me across to the other bathroom.

so we go to the other bathroom and i don’t know if i found anything there (i might have but idk), but as we walked back, Dr. F meets us and is like “hey guys i’m not dead!”, i get super happy and hug him even tho he like, doesn’t really know me (i think he had like, pretended to be brain washed when he threw himself in, but he managed to survive somehow?)

i honestly dont remember what happened next, either we just all chilled in the convention place forever or we went back and defeat the evil queen
