Your art style is very canon-like to the series of The Legend of Korra. I am so HAPPY you are doing The Ruins of the Empire comics. Feels like the animated show. Thank you for your art, talent and hard work ❤💚💙

Aww thank you so much for the kind words!! ❤ It means a lot to me that fans of the show enjoy the comics in my style!

[shiroallura]

I just realised from your cover picture. The way Allura and Shiro is positioned at that scene is just like Adam and Shiro were — only Adam presented an ultimatum whereas Allura presented another chance at chasing his dreams. Wow, that is so symbolic.

E X A C T L Y listen shallura just got even more romantic parallels added this season like if voltron isn’t going to make them canon then like??? chill for a sec??

Find the words, tag game

Thank you @languishing-pineapple  for the tag 

The words: lately; paint; forward; moon; troubled

Lately: “We could spend the day together, I haven’t had much time at all lately, so I could make up for the past few days, and well 15 years”

Paint: Vladimir chuckled “It’s much too late for that now, his personality is already formed. I heard that he was raised with Hadës Luna of Royal Society, must have recognised that man to be his father. I can’t fathom why Lyla would have chosen him of all people, but it doesn’t matter now what is done is done, the paint is already dry”

Forward: He walked down the long hallway, where guards were posted at every other door on either side. They bowed as he passed a few of them chanting Midnos under their breath, their eyes forward and unfocused. Lyde found the chanting creepier than anything, even creepier than Casper Mir.

Moon: The time came and went. The moons now out, Hannah and Zion following each other across the dark silver sky.

Troubled: “The DNA result came back, it’s positive, you are indeed my nephew’s son, we weren’t sure before. Imposters can be troublesome for Empires as you well know” she explained (Didn't find 'troubled' only trouble/troublesome)

Find: spend, personality, hallway, dark, result

I think you know a bit about me. Gonna be 30. Lit major. A bit of a geek. Don't think I look great. Mostly like guys. Wanna matter to someone. Be wild. Bold. Daring. Feel powerful at times. Shoot!

I ship you with Neville Longbottom. First let me start off by saying Neville is a TOTAL BADASS AND ANYONE WHO SAYS OTHERWISE CAN FIGHT ME! Neville is definitely a bit of a geek, but it doesn’t bother him which is so important. He’s okay with who he is which is something that’s so important. And he will love all of your geeky traits as well! In fact, not only will he love them, but he will make you feel empowered by them. You don’t think you look great? Well Neville thinks you look stunning, and he will make sure to tell you every damn day. And half the time it will include flowers because he is a total sweetheart and he just wants to see you smile. You will matter to Neville more than anyone else is the world. He knows what it’s like to lose someone you love so he will cherish every moment he has with you and do whatever it takes to keep you safe and happy. Neville can definitely be wild, bold, and daring. After all, he did sneak into the department of mysteries with Harry and the gang as a 15 year old, not to mention stand up to assholes in his school as a seventeen year old and protect those younger than him. He will empower you so that you can be bold as well and feel powerful! And you’ll definitely feel powerful knowing that you’ve got such a strong and amazing guy willing to do anything for you!

Give me your description, gender(s) you date, and a fandom and I’ll tell you who I ship you with!

Nier/Nier: Automata Analysis Masterpost

*Note, the views and opinions linked below do not always align with my own. But even in the cases where I disagree about interpretation or think factual mistakes were made, I still found them to contribute a variety novel and interesting viewpoints.

Please peruse them yourself if any sound interesting.

NOTE: SPOILER WARNING FOR ALL GAMES!!!

General Analysis of Nier:

-: Nier: The List

By Zachery Oliver, an examination of Nier and its story from a Christian perspective. Quite interesting. Highly recommended.

-: The Futility of Violence in NieR

By Zachery Oliver, a short essay about the use of violence and how Nier subverts player expectations with its narrative.

-: Weird games for weird people by a weird guy named Yoko Taro

By Ruben Ferdinand, a long and excellent summary of shared themes and concepts of Drakengard, Drakengard 3, and Nier. Highly recommended.

-: In Depth With Drakengard’s World: Language and Magic

By @rologeass​, a quick explanation of Nier/Drakengard’s magic language, its meaning, and the Celestial Language in which it is written. Highly recommended.

-:  Drakengard & Nier - An Evolution of Soundtracks (Youtube Link)

By ValkyrieAurora, this analysis video covers the music of the Nier and Drakengard games. Definitely worth looking at to see how things have changed  and developed over the course of the series. 

-: “NIER” WILL TEACH YOU EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IDENTITY.

By suduiko, a long and very in depth essay about Nier and the nature of identity as shown by the various characters in game. While the length and nature of this work can be intimidating, I found it to be a very interesting perspective to look at Nier from. Highly recommended.

-: ON NIER: OUGHT A GAME’S WORLD TO BE FUN TO EXPLORE?

By suduiko, a consideration on the ‘open’ world of Nier and how well it works within the narrative of the game itself.

-: THE TROUBLE WITH BODIES: A TRANS READING OF NIER

By Cayla Coats, an extremely interesting take on the characters of Nier. Definitely worth a read. Highly recommended.

Nier: Automata Focused

-: (In)visible Disabilities and Machine Bodies in NieR: Automata:- Plato 1728′s plight in a posthumanist light (Links to Tumblr post)

By @khalix-hyetology​, an analysis of Nier: Automata’s themes from a specific post-human/transhuman theme. A great deal of focus is given to the DLC elements, or at least those that are of narrative importance. Highly recommended.

-: Death, Sex, and Love: A closer look at NieR Automata

By Kyle Campbell, a brief discussion of the relation between sex and death within the narrative of Nier: Automata. 

-: The Hidden Humanity in Nier: Automata’s Fashion

By Caty McCarthy, a deeper look at the meaning of fashion and clothing designs within Nier: Automata. While there are deeper meanings connected with costume design, such as the feathers on 2B’s outfit, this is good start for those interested in exploring the character designs of this game.

-: Nier: Automata and the Illusion of Survival

By Caty McCarthy, a essay considering the central themes of Nier: Automata and how the character stories show this over the course of the game.

-: Ghosts of Humanity: Being Human in NieR: Automata and Xenoblade Chronicles X 

By Kelira Telian, a comparison of themes between Nier: Automata and Xenoblade Chronicles X on the nature of humanity and inhumane inheritors thereof. While I actually agree with some of the conclusions reached in this short piece, I’m not sure if they can be drawn as assuredly as the author does here.

-: The Girls of The Tower-The Unexplained Story of NieR Automata 

By UNKNOWN, a theory on the story of Nier: Automata. Sadly I think this has been mostly disproven at this point by post-game materials. It is none the less interesting to read and does represent a fruitful interpretation of in game events.

-: NieR: Automata – Dynamic Music Transitions and Events | Music Analysis

By Shawn Kays, a analysis of music and its uses in Nier: Automata. Specifically how it emphasizes motion through the game world and the nature of transitions between areas. Full material here at the site’s Youtube channel. Highly recommended.

-: NieR: Automata Analysis

By Hunter Galbraith, a long analysis of Nier: Automata in the context of Yoko Taro’s earlier games. Covers most of the important concepts. The opening section about the relative ‘artistry’ of games seems unnecessary though. Still, quite good for both depth and length of discussion. Highly recommended.

-: NieR Automata meets amazarashi “Deserving of Life” MV Trivia + NieR Automata Technology Analysis

By @rologeass​, an in depth examination of the music video (Youtube link) that came out before Nier: Automata’s release. Quite interesting how much could be discerned even before the DLC elaborated on it. Highly recommended.

By suduiko, a meta-narrative analysis of Nier and Nier: Automata. I can’t really say to what extent I agree with the conclusions drawn here, but I do find them interesting to consider.

-: YOKO TARO’S ETERNAL RECURRENCE: TRANSHUMANISM IN NIER: AUTOMATA 

By Kastel, an extremely detailed look at the themes and narrative of Nier: Automata. Probably my favorite critical examination of the game thus far. Highly recommended.

​-: Nier: Automata is a Brilliant Takedown of Drone Warfare and the Escalation of Conflict 

By Michelle Ehrhardt, a very interesting starting point for looking at Nier: Automata. Don’t let the title fool you though, it goes well beyond making comparisons between Androids/Machines and drone weapon systems. Highly recommended.

By Matthew Kim, is mostly a summary/consideration of Nier: Automata’s story.

-: Drakengard Analysis

By Clemps, currently covers all Drakengard games and Nier with Nier: Automata hopefully planned later. Detailed examination of plot, themes, and character arcs throughout Yoko Taro’s games. Highly recommended.

-: NieR: Automata's Secret Meaning

By Strat-Edgy Productions, discusses the ramifications of AI and how that effects the search for purpose... among other things. Worth a view as it covers the game in its entirety.

-: Nier: Automata's Uplifting Existentialism (Story Discussion)

By Super Bunnyhop, comes at Nier: Automata from the perspective of the search for meaning in existence while also considering a Marxist examination. Highly recommended.

-: What You Missed From Nier

By Super Bunnyhop, goes over the plot and narrative of Nier quickly to summarize new comers to the series. Also briefly discusses side content such as the YoRHa stageplay. Highly recommended.

-: Why NieR: Automata Could Only Work as a Game (Spoiler Analysis)

By Writing on Games, a video that explains how the narrative is interwoven with the interactive nature of video games. 

-: Nier: Automata - Story Summary

By ValkyrieAurora, an excellent summation of the plot and events of Nier: Automata. Her channel also has numerous other videos on Nier and Drakengard content and all  are highly recommended as well for in depth considerations on game narrative and characters.

-: Nier Automata Analysis - A Love Story (Spoilers)

By Peahnuts.

-: The Meaning Behind Nier Automata Character Designs - 2B & YoRHa

By Peahnuts, these two videos discuss the specifics of the relationship between two of the main characters, and related elements, as well as the meaning in the costume design of the YoRHa Androids. Highly recommended.

-: NieR: Automata Analysis

By MisterCaption, a three hour video discussing Nier: Automata and most everything in it. While quite in depth, it does come from a newcomer to the series so there are some factual errors here and there, but I enjoyed the new perspective despite that.

Character Analysis Specific
