au where ben fucking dies
I really like @hiffuu's omnitrix ben! au so I pretty much made it into my own canon, I like the idea of partially transforming some aliens, he's basically rex but with aliens instead of weapons
he's probably traumatized from his near brick of death
also a very lazy drawing of my own design ben and rex
#ben 10#ben 10 alien force#ben 10 ultimate alien#ben tennyson#ben 10 au#omnitrix#omnitrix ben au#omnitrix ben#au#alternate universe#idk I don't want to make this my own au#honestly I really like the ben being an omnitrix concept#it's much more unique and interesting#also ben being an omnitrix itself is pretty rad#also I struggle with his jacket design

still thinkang about elrond half elven btw. like. your brother is mortal but you are not. your brother is a great king but he dwells far away in the middle of the ocean. your brother dies and you are still here. your brotherâs line decays and sinks. they do not love you and perhaps do not even know you and still you are here. his people sink into the sea and the last queen of numenor dies gasping on seawater and the islan, wholly changed by hundreds of years, where once his feet might have touched ground, drowns forever and fully and still! you are here! fuck!
#home cooked hijinks#IM NOT IMMUNE. SO VERY NIT IMMUNE#silm#i really like the way the silm discusses mortality vs immortality⊠âimmortality Bad actuallyâ is pretty common#but âmortality Good actuallyâ is both much more unique and imo more interesting philosophically#anyway. do you think he ever wonders if his misfortunes are because he refused the gift. and this is his punishment for ungratefulness.#:)

you know im unable to shut up when i have any opinion on zelda (though i try and have thus far succeeded at not commenting on any other concept from the darn book)- i find most totk ganondorf concept art worse than what we got to insulting even (of those i have seen) ..... this one though
much more the one in the background than the one up front, still at least he has the collar and the weapon we saw in the first trailer of things that never happen in the end (like so much else)
#ganondoodles talks#zelda#it looks like he got actual shoes in the bg one#which i like#also the big flowing robe is jsut cool as fuck#i like old japanese aesthetic but i still dont think it fits at all in totk#like its so clearly done to other him from the gerudo despite wearing their symbol all over#idk it looks so much more unique and memorable#sorry but totk gan normal looks a lil boring though i like the pattern in the robe#and his deeeemon form looks more like they tried to do demise again but not quite#like yeah lets use the design things on the uncool and forgotten and possibly retconned villain#and staple it too the much more known one :)#like yes he looks different from the gerudo still and very much still japanese in this concept#but it .... just kinda looks more unique and interesting to me#like in an either go all the way or leave it kinda way#yes i am biased#i love both demise and gan#anyway- i am still a prisoner of art (cant draw weeeee)#(plus IRL stress with my parents and weather change thus migraine yippiiie)

One of the best things about Disco Elysium by far is that it does not fear ugly women. The world is full of ugly men, but ugly women are so hard to come by.
#I'm not calling the characters ugly btw#i don't believe any one can be ugly#i do not care for beauty standards and thus i don't rank people based on how âuglyâ or âprettyâ they are#but the characters in DE do not meet the conventional beauty standards and look like actual people with unique faces#and thus would be considered âuglyâ#and that is so important to me. i go feral whenever media represents how people look like in real life and not how they look like in the#fictional parallel universe where everyone is a model and where a majority of the movies take place#because irl you don't have to be a model to be desirable#the most attractive man in any video game I've ever played has a receding hairline and a big nose and thick glasses and a small chin#and not only is representing realistic people. just good. in general. but it makes the character of Dolores Dei stand out so much more which#works for the game so well. she's barely human. she's a deity- a myth- a legend. the only version that exists of her now is the one with#glowing lungs. she's perfectly beautiful because she's inhuman. the fact that everybody else looks so human only highlights how inhuman she#has become yk?#if everyone was as conventionally attractive as her then she wouldn't stand out. we wouldn't get why she's so special.#disco elysium#disco elysium analysis#media analysis#beauty standards#this is only one aspect of how this game portrays real people btw. as someone interested in character design this just immediately stood out#to me#the first time i noticed it was when i first met garte and the second time was when i met ruby because neither are conventionally desirable#oh my fucking god the nerds who complain about a woman with a model face having body hair in a video game would perish if they played this#mainstream game/movie studios catering to western masses could never

#some more angles under the cut for your snout-viewing pleasure#skeledirge#a very cool pokémon. i think i talked about this in the crocalor post. not much else to say about this one!#besides that it's not often we see a pokémon go backwards. from two legs to four legs. often it's the other way around#which makes this one unique..! interesting..!#ursaluna i guess is another example. but i could sit here thinking of examples of this all day i'm sure. point is that it's rare

[ cw: death mention / family death mention / ]
Mhmm I sure love thinking of the reality where we did get more time to really know Karai and her dynamics with the bros. Losing her hit hard in the finale, but it wouldâve hit much, much harder had we known Karai longer and really saw her relationships develop with everyone.
I especially would have been interested in her dynamic with Leo, as past iterations often have the two of them clash in ideals and the like while still sharing many characteristics. Two sides of the same coin, and all that. Her specifically being the brosâ Gram-Gram also adds a whole new dynamic as well.
Imagine how interesting it would be, to have Karai start off on Leoâs side for once, showing wholly just how alike the two are at their cores and bonding as family without the worry of betrayal or animosity that other iterations suffer through, only to have Karai die anyway. Their parting hug and the desperate look of horror Leo wears later on would have hit that much harder, I feel.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rise of the tmnt#rise karai#rise leo#rottmnt karai#rottmnt leo#I think a lot about these two in particular#and how that dynamic could have flourished#the way it was depicted in the finale is so purposefully unique and painful like#that hug man#can you imagine how much more heartbreaking that would have been if we knew her longer#not that it wasnât already sad but we just simply didnât know her long enough to be completely attached#also imo having more episodes with her and in general would have presented something Iâve been thinking about since the finale#so like - I like to think each bro kinda immediately leans more toward certain family members#Mikey has Draxum#Donnie has April#Raph has Splinter because this is another one that would be SO GOOD and make the finale moment where Raph sees his memories hit harder#if they had an ep or two more of Splinter and Raph together bc I really do feel like Raph respects Splinter most of the four#and finally- Leo has Karai#and then he loses her#imo? this would align with the movie even more#because it was the act of heroism that kinda killed her in a way - makes sense that Leo would initially be leaning away from that#and yet he ends up exactly like her anyway#haha sorry for rambling I just really love the interesting dynamic these two tend to have#and itâs a shame we didnât get to see it really explored in rise#but yeah make no mistake while Iâm focusing on Leo here I wanted more for all the boys and karai#Mikeyâs little moments with her were so sweet and we already know how much he yearns for more family#Karai being from an age long gone would mean sheâd be super impressed by literally any invention Donnie has (adult validation!!)#and could you imagine her training with Raph - with this training being referenced in the finale?

Minecraft feels like it doesnât know what to do for big updates any more so theyâre doing like small miscellaneous updates collected together. I wish theyâd move on from trying to give them a theme bc I feel like thatâs just confusing.
One thing I wish theyâd do is do updates from time to time and go back and add pieces to old update. Like maybe add more fish or tree types.
Specifically what made me have this thought is that Iâd love if theyâd add more to the geodes. Like the amethysts are lovely but Iâd love if there was a whole range of crystals to find in geodes!! I feel like thatâs along the line of the archaeological stuff theyâve done recently! Digging into the earth for history and stuff!
Also if they ever do a forest update Iâd freak out. Iâd love if they revamped their nature bc I feel like that part of the over world specifically has been the same since the beginning era of minecraft. Like ocean, nether, caves, villages, NOW FOREST. And end.
Feels like natural progression of their universe growing! And I like feeling like the updates can have a âstoryâ like aspect to me. Especially bc worldbuilding. Favorite idea when it comes to minecraft lore
#mineblr#Minecraft#Minecraft game development#Minecraft updates#minecraft lore#minecraft worldbuilding#minecraft caves#minecraft crystals#ROCKS ROCKS AND MORE ROCKS#like if they could add to the andesite granite diorite thing too with like limestone and other minerals#MINERAL ROCK UPDATE#GEOLOGY UPDATE#they could add like volcanic and igneous rocks to the nether??? l#I like this idea very very much#minecraft and game development are my special interests#and worldbuilding but thatâs like a part of those and my storytelling spins#I feel like thereâs some things in minecraft that people love to add thru mods that mods shouldnât be necessary for#like more biomes! I get biome design or unique biomes but give plains and forests more flavor!#or forest animals! OR BUGS ADD BUGS#I get mods for dungeons or cute decoration but simple worldbuilding shouldnât need mods#Iâm getting frustrated with being dissatisfied with vanilla minecraft when all I want are more variability to blocks and biome expansion!#often times mods are too complex and add too much over vanilla minecraft when I like vanilla minecraft#itâs just after all this time especially with cave and cliffs added the nature feels behind and too simple

someone needs to grab me by my neck and stop me from making a meta post about idw soundwave and the cassettes and about how his insistence that they are equals (or at least some of them are equals) is in direct contradictory with how he actually interacts with them/how their dynamic is written throughout idw. because as much as i do think they are generally a group that cares and relies on each other (minus ratbat, who has 0 reason to gaf about any of them and vice versa), i,,, ough. its messy.
i do not think this is a weird character writing moment, i actually think it's SUPER interesting to think and talk about. but i can't,, i shan't,,, unless âïžđ
#blight rambles#transformers#maccadam#maccadams#transformers idw#tf idw#tf idw1#transformers idw1#idw1#soundwave#idw soundwave#tf soundwave#cassetticons#tf cassettes#decepticons#do i tag the cassettes individually?? theyre not directly named BUT this is about them.#fuck it#ravage#laserbeak#buzzsaw#frenzy#rumble#as much as i think the soundwave family jokes are funny i do not think a family dynamic works for idw. at least not a typical family dynami#these are seven fully unrelated adults with their own personalities believes and wants and one of them- soundwave- is in a unique#position of power over the rest of the six. remember. ratbat rumble and frenzy were not willingly part of the team. they were forced.#soundwave clearly cares about the team but by his own admittance he doesnt see ratbat as an equal and rumble + frenzy were physically#threatened to be part of the team. even ravage laserbeak and buzzsaw are 9/10 usually seen as being subservient to him.#its INTERESTING. its GOOD. its also very painful#edit: beliefs* i shouldnt type when im tired#wish i had more time and energy to write the stuff i want.... agn.

Linktober Day 8. Tunic
#linktober#linktober 2024#the legend of zelda#wind waker#ocarina of time#loz#loz ww#loz oot#link#josh art tag#had a lot of fun with this one despite how annoying it was to draw#oot link was at a difficult angle and i also just could not shade this for the life of me. restarted the shading like 3 times#i think im reaching that point in the cycle i typically go thru with my artstylr where ive grown tired of my shading style#to the point that i forget how to do it and it never quite looks right#so if my next post features changes to my artstyle thats why lol#but i enjoyed making this despite that cuz i like the ideas behind it!#i normally wouldve redesigned ww!link's outfit but i purposefully drew it accurately#to highlight how its more like a costume. cuz thats kinda what it was! and its modeled after the hero of times clothes#but is pretty innacurate. which i think is cool.. shows how much time has passed and how the view of the hero of time has warped#so i also purposefully made oot link wearing my redesigned outfit for him (even if you cant see much of it at this angle)#to further emphasize how ww!link's outfit is not only essentially a costume but is also quite innacurate#i like having ww!link ditch the costume for something else to show how he stops being some kid in oot!link's shadow#and grows into a true hero of his own#hence my ww!link redesign where i put him back in the lobster shirt. but i do keep some green and something similar to the hat#to have him fit in with the other links while still being unique#look i have a lot of feelings about ww!link and oot!link#i wish zelda would do more stuff like this... i think having oot relate to wind waker makes the story more interesting#and makes ww!link more interesting! cuz he cant be the hero of time they want. but he does become the real hero they need#the oot ww tp trio is so good... and they all work great as standalone games but their connections do really add something

Thinking about Elizabeth Woodville as a gothic heroine is making me go insane. She entered the story by overturning existing social structures, provoking both ire and fascination. She married into a dynasty doomed to eat itself alive. She was repeatedly associated with the supernatural, both in terms of love and death. Her life was shaped entirely by uncanny repetitions - two marriages, two widowhoods, two depositions, two flights to sanctuary, two ultimate reclamations, all paralleling and ricocheting off each other. Her plight after 1483 exposed the true rot at the heart of the monarchy - the trappings of royalty pulled away to reveal nothing, a never-ending cycle of betrayal and war, the price of power being the (literal) blood of children. She lived past the end of her family name, she lived past the end of her myth. She ended her life in a deeply anomalous position, half-in and half-out of royal society. She was both a haunting tragedy and the ultimate survivor who was finally free.
#elizabeth woodville#nobody was doing it like her#I wanted to add more things (eg: propaganda casting her as a transgressive figure and a threat to established orders; the way we'll never#truly Know her as she's been constantly rewritten across history) but ofc neither are unique to her or any other historical woman#my post#wars of the roses#don't reblog these tags but - the thing about Elizabeth is that she kept winning and losing at the same time#She rose higher and fell harder (in 1483-85) than anyone else in the late 15th century#From 1461 she was never ever at lasting peace - her widowhood and the crisis of 1469-71 and the actual terrible nightmare of 1483-85 and#Simnel's rebellion against her family and the fact that her birth family kept dying with her#and then she herself died right around the time yet another Pretender was stirring and threatening her children. That's...A Lot.#Imho Elizabeth was THE adaptor of the Wars of the Roses - she repeatedly found herself in highly anomalous and#unprecedented situations and just had to survive and adjust every single time#But that's just...never talked about when it comes to her#There are so many aspects of her life that are potentially fascinating yet completely unexplored in scholarship or media:#Her official appointment in royal councils; her position as the first Englishwoman post the Norman Conquest to be crowned queen#and what that actually MEANT for her; an actual examination of the propaganda against her; how she both foreshadowed and set a precedent#for Henry VIII's english queens; etc#There hasn't even been a proper reassessment of her role in 1483-85 TILL DATE despite it being one of the most wildly contested#periods in medieval England#lol I guess that's what drew me to Elizabeth in the first place - there's a fundamental lack of interest or acknowledgement in what was#actually happening with her and how it may have affected her. There's SO MUCH we can talk about but historians have repeatedly#stuck to the basics - and even then not well#I guess I have more things to write about on this blog then ((assuming I ever ever find the energy)#also to be clear while the Yorkists did 'eat themselves alive' they also Won - the crisis of 1483-85 was an internal conflict within#the dynasty that was not related to the events that ended in 1471 (which resulted in Edward IV's victory)#Henry Tudor was a figurehead for Edwardian Yorkists who specifically raised him as a claimant and were the ones who supported him#specifically as the husband of Elizabeth of York (swearing him as king only after he publicly swore to marry her)#Richard's defeat at Bosworth had *nothing* to do with 'York VS Lancaster' - it was the victory of one Yorkist faction against another#But yes the traditional line of succession was broken by Richard's betrayal and the male dynastic line was ultimately extinguished.

Steve Rogers & Tony Stark in Avengers Assemble 1.25 "The Final Showdown"
#marveledit#steverogersedit#captainamericaedit#tonystarkedit#ironmanedit#stevetonyedit#stevetony#superhusbands#stony#steve rogers#captain america#tony stark#iron man#marvel#avengers assemble#type: gifs#universe: aa#episode: 1.25 the final showdown pt. 1#&#original: gifs#original: aa#it's actually super interesting how much the aa (and emh) writers believe in tony as a character#like the absolute blatant difference when a writer genuinely understands and sees his value#vs comic writers who just get handed iron man runs on a silver platter#tony carries the burden of being The Leader of the avengers in aa more than he does in most universes#where even steve frequently defers to him which i think is quite unique to aa#and it's wholesome Because steve also believes in him so much#every time tony wants to give up or back down or take himself out of the equation steve is standing there going âno WE NEED YOU i NEED YOUâ#the BACKBONE of the avengers and also tony's ability to grow and flourish as a team leader

ii think the funniest thing about s5 is that while minute took inspiration from zam and did what he did in the latter half because of him, jumper ended up much more similar to him by virtue of having the same mindset
#mine.txt#minute#jumper#minute wanted to make a name for himelf; to be a beacon of hope; to be just like his hero#(well heroes really cause he also wanted to be like clown before switching gears during the abyss arc)#but jumper did what she did cause of her morals and principles#and cause she determined through observation of the things done both to her and her teamnates that the playersTM had to die#(but mainly zam due to his much more frequent interaction with them esp during joker arc and the. messing with vitalasy arc lol)#and that brings her closer to the hero zam was in s3 than minute ever was#man the s5 adds brought such unique flavors of personae and dynamics to the server its honestly very interesting#and theyre such specific dynamics too; the activity black hole in s5 truly brought about the. Something in ppl#idk what that something is but surely it came from grief#the absence is just as important as the presence or something like that

i was so excited for venom 3 and was so unimpressed đ when it ended i was just like ââŠohâ and i have so many thoughts but i need to watch it again before i fully form them
#and i wonât be paying to see it again in theaters#a quick informal ramble ab my thoughts tho#i feel like what makes any venom media fun and interesting to partake in is the relationship between venom and eddie#like their relationship is the foundation of the plot and everything else happening is in parallel/connected to whatâs going on between them#and this movie focused on their relationship like zero percent#like ofc there were a few moments here and there maybe but in all honesty the first time we see any emotion about how they feel ab each#other is at the end of the movie when they realize one of them will have to die#and i feel like we lowkey focused TOO much on the area 51 b plot#like i definitely liked the alien invasion vibes and that aspect but we spent too much time there to be having the same#fun as the first two movies#i feel like they couldâve used the codex as a source of tension between them bc they both were too uncomfortable not being able to mesh#fully whenever they wanted like theyâve spent such a long time together#and this would be removing an aspect of their relationship#esp when the whole thing that makes them special is that theyâre symbiotic and have a unique and incredible bond#but ur telling me they canât fully venom out and theyâre both just like darn inconvenient#and then do it anyway a couple of times flippantly like for the dance w mrs chen#which was like such a random plot point to draw the creature back to them#clearly i have more thoughts than i initially believed#venom the last dance#venom 3#venom#symbrock

forever hilarious to me that tennis is promoted as this prestigious highbrow big-brain sport when most tennis fans these days are like. yeah this is my favorite player. yeah i don't know why they're like that. yes they are stupid. no i will not choose somebody else.
#wta tennis#atp tennis#i feel like the era of...shall we say 'federer-esque' players is waning#which i think can in part be related to the loss of the one-handed-backhand#as the sport moves more toward a necessity for fitness and athleticism players do not put as much emphasis on 'art'#which imo is fine! i think the 'art' of tennis is too protected in some ways. which i maybe will expand on later.#but i think it's too much for the tags of a (mostly) silly post#but yeah you can hear a lot of commentators touch on it#i know nadal even said something abt it recently(ish)#but i think as tennis is gradually less associated with this abstract 'image' (e.g. the obsession with federer's 'grace' and 'class')#players are coming in thinking 'this is a physical battle and i am going to win' and very much leaning into the *competition*#which not to say that they're ignoring/denying the mental aspects at all because i actually do think many players are very strategic/aware#and in truth i think many tennis players ARE actually very smart#but i also think it's less apparent because more and more players are able to just hit the shit out of the ball and call it a day#which leaves you with the occasional shot/point/game/set/match etc where it seems like they don't know what the fuck they're doing#but you think about most sports which evolve in phases#it's very normal for certain player profiles to become more or less popular as the landscape of the sport changes#or as new techniques/strategies are developed#or as new communities/populations become interested!#extreme example but think of like. high jump's fosbury flop. that was one guy!#one guy who changed the entire fucking sport! so it makes perfect sense that tennis is continuing to evolve#given how many unique players have come and gone#and how much the sport is changing externally as well as internally#anyways. this got out of hand but i love sports and i love tennis and i love my brainless players.#this whole post was inspired by rewatching sabalenka v boulter and aryna completely missed an overhead by like five feet. lol#love her <3
