My genshin sona~! I've posted him in many different other places but not here

Anyways he's from Mondstadt (n I ship him with kaeya because Kaeya my beloved;; )

He's a dendro user

I did this by mixing parts from other characters slightly to make him in the Genshin style (sort of)

I'm sure you get this a lot but because my cousin and I love that one Danny Trejo action comedy, I always have to snap my brain into the right position when I read Machete's name. Maybe I should draw them both chilling

can I be for real. I think most of the ace attorney fandom would not give 2 shits about Kristoph if he were a woman

First I want to say I love the Terry stuff you've posted recently. But it made me think how Kyo was kind of meant to be the face of SNK fighting games and the crossovers(opposite Ryu usually) but now its Terry who has taken that spot for SF6 and Capcom Fighting Collection 2. Why do you think the change happened in your opinion? Do you think Smash Bros had any hand?

I wouldn't be surprised if introducing more of SNK through Smash helped attract more people, but also given Terry's recent reveal in SF6 they're probably also trying to push more of that DLC through the Fighting Collection 2's promotional art.

But I have to add, Terry has existed longer than Kyo and iirc was also intended to be a mascot for the company. Even if we were to look at Smash in the first place, why did they choose Terry instead of Kyo?

To me, there is something about Terry personally that seems to be openly appealing to others, even before getting to a bigger audience.

I first saw Terry through a game I didn't even play, let alone closely pay attention to. But how come I still remember him specifically? Why do I find him interesting? Well he's got a cool hat. He's got a recognizable overall figure that's further accentuated with his long ponytail. Also he's really loud. I can still remember all his ridiculous ~American~ shouting as it was exclaimed in CAPCOM vs. SNK 2.

He screams iconic to me, which is very effective for someone to represent you among the rest of a large group. And I wouldn't be surprised if newcomers from Smash and after felt the same way.

I've snooped around the threads for Terry's reveal for SF6 and there are still people new to him making similar impressions like "Wow, he's so cool!" or "He seems like a nice guy!". There's definitely something on top of Terry's image that is making him click so well.

Which isn't to say Kyo doesn't have these things. But I think Terry's particular combination really make him stand out much more.

I am so sick and tired of there being no representation for people like me, so I decided that from here on out, no matter how unrealistic it may be, Ghost is schizophrenic, he's just really good at hiding it from the people who don't need to know.

currently falling in love with danganronpa all over again because i finally get to play the games after 6 and a half years and to celebrate, i shall post this makoto furry abomination i call fanart that i made when I was 14 because i embrace cringe

I'm not gonna screenshot it bc 1/it really doesn't matter that much and 2/the person who made the comment is a kid but: a while ago I made a comic that's supposed to be a genuine study and reinterpretation of someone else's sprite comic (made in the spirit of authenticity too - to recreate the vibes of the sprite comics from that era, iirc very specifically because it's funny) and I got a comment on that comic's post that's like "glow up"

which is a compliment obvs. and the commenter probably didn't mean anything by it, it's a common expression. but I've been trying to find a way to gracefully put that comment away ever since it appeared lol

I just very much don't want my art to be taken as trying to one-up someone else's art when that's not the piece's intention. especially when the piece that inspired my art is perceived as "low effort" or "shitpost" or stuff like that. I did mention in the tags of that post that my considering it a study is entirely genuine, and I can legitimately write pages about the cool stuff I find in it other than and inherent in the haha funneys, but that's not for you guys that's for me. I just think that approaching art competition-first like that is a miserable way to do it, and (tipping into overthinking here if the whole tiny-comment-got-stuck-in-my-brain-for-almost-a-month part hasn't given that away yet lol) I really don't want that to be the takeaway from my own art. at least generally. if I actually think the source material is trash and what I'm doing is genuinely categorically better I'd just come out and say it lmao

[sayheykid]

i genuinely don't think a story's worldbuilding and lore has ever drawn me in the way that check please did. it's been years and i still think about it every day. the characters and plot were always superb but i think what has stuck with me the most is the depth of the settings and how everything feels so lived in and tangible. everyone wants to make a fake world and town and university but no one else has EVER done it that well

[lykosog]

Just saw a video where they say: "Robb marries Jeyne Westerling or Talisa, as they called her in the show". Like...for real?

[forcedhesitation]

i'm going to complain for two seconds here, because people on twitch are pissing me off. I get people are fans of other games. I am too! Even if I can only play a few, I watch full gameplay of many games. that being said- I do not think it's fair to say that it's an unfortunate thing for it to be likely that bg3 will sweep the awards tomorrow. you're gonna tell me it honestly doesn't deserve to win most of the categories it's been nominated for? have you actually sat down and watched gameplay?? because the suggestion that it shouldn't win goty, or awards for narrative, direction, score, art, or performance is beyond ridiculous to me. pull your head out of nintendo's ass for just a moment and I think you will see that sometimes other games win because they are simply BETTER.

Every time I rewatch some episode of Boueibu HK I wonder again how the staff even planned this season. Like. Almost nothing meaningful happens with the characters

TLDR the characters with the most developement in HK are the monsters

Kyoutarou is there as a complete contrast to Yumoto while keeping the battle speeches so his characterization doesn't make much sense. Nanao is mere fujoshi bait. Taiju and Taishi have random bits of dialogue that hint at possible arcs for s2 but not enough to tell us what it really is. Maasa has an unfinished arc in his episode, where supposedly he's putting fatty butter in his cookies to make everyone else overweight because he resents Ichiro not defending him when they were little, but then his friends tell him it's fine and then he can move on??? This would work with Ichiro's theme of not wanting to be immature or dense anymore, except they only ever used this theme as a gag (misunderstanding the meaning of whatever the others have said) or to straight up humilliate him (ep4) and continue treating him like a stupid baby. At the end of the season Maasa and him have made peace somehow and that's it. Ata gets in my opinion the closest thing to a complete arc, even if it's just staring angrily at Kyoutarou for ten episodes, then explaining his problem while fighting him and finally getting his apology and reconcilliation. At least it's something. And poor Ryouma is just there to be the butt of a few jokes about how he lets Nanao and Kyoutarou use him, be in a couple of cute shippy scenes, and also for Ata to completely dismiss him from the flashbacks to the point where if they had first met in high school nothing would've changed.

The relationships barely have developement either. Love had anime episodes and manga chapters dedicated to the different close friendships solving their conflicts and becoming closer. There were also many instances of seeing how close the Hakone brothers-defense club and Beppu brothers' relationships were, and even though they didn't have any conflict between themselves, they made them strong sides for the final fight. Yumoto didn't get a character arc but through the entire anime he was revealed to be strong, considerate, forgiving and mature, willing to kindly befriend the Beppu twins for his brother but not let them walk all over him; contrary to how he was presented in the first episodes, like a stereotypical magical girl protagonist. Anyway in HK there's no meaningful conflict between any of them besides Kyoutarou and Ata. Taishi and Ichiro argue constantly but don't show to genuinely like each other after all like IoRyuu or EnAtsu did. Ichiro and Maasa never make any progress to be together again, Maasa hints once at liking Taishi and nothing comes from it, and Nanao and Taiju have the most artificial friendship in the cast that I just do not understand. They just ran an ice cream shop once with again unexplained success and make sassy remarks at each other ever since. And I guess Karurusu and Furanui had a bit of developement thanks to Kyou and Ata in ep12. Idk about the aliens, this time it's like they didn't do it completely well but also not as bad as with the rest of the cast. Maybe bc they didn't appear as much as the humans in most of the episodes

I'm realizing now that a few of these complaints are related to Nanao acting weird

Idk where to put this but I'd like to point out Kinshiro's principles of halting the fight with the Battle Lovers as soon as he finds out that the s1 conflict was set up for a reality show and actively defending them from an attack because they're Binan students, despite still not having received his apology from Atsushi. Ata might've done the same if the HK finale's events had gone in the same order (travelling to Honyalaland to fight Wao, then Kyoutarou apologizing to Ata), but he doesn't feel as a character as deep as Kinshiro in that sense bc they didn't really show him to be in other ways.

Love feels more like an actual group of people while HK feels like they were filling in friendship group roles or something

"Rick is the better scientist!" "actually, Reagan is the better scientist because-!!" shut up shut up shut up we all know the best fictional scientist is ALPHYS from UNDERTALE

[omarwolaeth]

It's such a tiny innocuous thing that really doesn't matter, but I feel like calling duel monsters a children's card game (when it's fundamentally baked into everyday life, and your social existence is judged by what you play and how you play it so very intensely, for everyone in-universe) is an absolute injustice to what it is for that universe of people.

[blastadiamond]

not me reblogging anakin while tlou 2 fans go crazy over joel. oh he murdered one hospital worth of people, and to protect a child? and you think i can’t forgive him? agree with him? love him? you fools. my comfort characters have done things that would make you puke. i love pain and i love tragedy and i love a character arc that culminates in darkness. where trauma doesn’t make them better but makes them scared, makes them desperate and willing to do things they know are wrong. that’s how i know tlou2 is just dumb, and killing joel was just cruel and stupid. i’ll never think it was smart, or well written, or just desserts lol having it morally grey, and messy, and ambiguous was far more interesting. imo.
