one thing about ik is that she will always reach out

not to go all 2016 YouTuber theorist on everyone but uh that "bit" at the start of Marks new video? This bit? the bit that felt weirdly out of place?

The text reads "please, help me" with a drone playing in the background

"only you can find the axe"

weird. where have I seen an axe before?

Thinking about Hutchins and Harumi I'm so ill. Garmadon Rulez did something to me. He sang her to sleep every night. He took her to libraries so she could research despite her parents disapproving. He gave her that journal to help her cope with her trauma.

He didn't have to do any of this. None of these things were because of his obligation to the royal family really and in fact he sort of went behind their backs taking her to the library of domu (even if it took some convincing). He was the first to suspect her of her plans but didn't tell anyone, not even the ninja when he definitely had a proper chance to. I think he genuinely just cared about her. And that's making me so

Ermmm so I was a bit unsatisfied with how this illustration turned out so I touched it up….a bit…

For context, here’s what it looked like before when I thought I was done with the piece…

I wanted to bring back the original mood I was aiming for: Garroth’s uneasiness in filling in the shoes of his predecessors, paired with the growing anxiety of his mother’s safety (Zianna rescue arc).

And I felt that the first version of this illustration just didn’t capture that quite right. Here, it looks like a glorified, awe-striking, grandiose moment of Garroth’s life. I think with the new lighting that it captures the emotional undertones better while maintaining that awe and wonder with the divine warriors.

Uh if you got this far in this yapping, here’s a mockup of what gold foil would look like with this illustration (white is where foil would be). I have an interest check (<<<< click that) for a mcd print run that’s closing on 9/1/24, so go check that out if you haven’t.

That’s all from me…Fall semester has begun so I’ll probably be disappearing off and going MIA for a while, probably.

cannot stop thinking about jean and neil being the same age, like hello narrative foils?? jean is neil if mary hadn't run away with him. riko's pet, given as appeasement to the moriyamas. neil is a traumatized individual but he still retained his sense of self (for the most part) because while mary was harsh the ultimate reasoning behind her actions was his safety and wellbeing. meanwhile, jean was in the hands of a person who did not care if he lived or died, and treated him as such. repressing his humanity was the only way for him to survive. neil could find moments of reprieve on the run, precious minutes of anonymity for him to catch his breath. there was nowhere for jean to run, nowhere for him to hide. his very identity (I am a moreau. I belong to the moriyamas.) was bound up in his torture. mary running away saved neil and condemned jean in the same breath.

and now here they both are, the same age, both relatively safe and secure for the first time in years, but they are in such different places. neil has found life, love and joy and companionship and the promise of a future, while jean is still merely trying to survive, pulling himself together each day and always on the brink of collapse. neil may still be wounded but he knows who he is, knows what he wants - this was everything he wanted, everything he needed, and neil was never letting go - but jean still doesn't know any of that, is trying to build a new identity for himself out of the scraps of his old life, and they have seen so many of the same things but from such different perspectives and both of them are irrevocably changed from it but in such different ways.
