Headcanon: Deep down they both want to be their fairy godparent/godkid again after losing them, but don't believe they deserve each other and feel like they aren't worthy to be their companion anymore

They both need counseling and therapy as a whole package

#fairly oddparents #fairly oddparents a new wish #peri #peri fairywinkle cosma #dev dimmadome #fop a new wish #peri fairly oddparents #a new wish #periwinkle #the fairly oddparents #dev #my art #fanart #I like how both Peri and Dev is the type who prefers not directly express their feelings because they want to be seen as cool/independent #and be loved by the people that they care of #in other words #a tsundere//hit #jokes aside I like to think another reason why Dev cried during that scene is because-#he realized he's doing the same thing that his dad has done to him but on Peri #and yet Peri still cares for him despite his treatment towards him #like how Dev still loves his dad despite being a terrible father #and just..want to do everything right by him to earn his dad affection #man #Also ngl I have a hunch that Dev might still remember since Hazel's ''no rule'' wish was pretty vague #so maybe he counts in that wish?#plus he was wearing sunglasses before the memory wipe which maybe that won't affect him as well?#you can see I'm coping rn #I do hope this is only temporary and we will see them being back together in season 2 tho #giving them both some time to reflect and growth #because Peri clearly needs more experience in his job and Dev needs his character development for season 2

homestars handwriting 2000 / 2005

#obviously this was them either not remembering how he wrote in the past or just not caring to commit to it #im sure there are other inconsistencies with the other characters’ handwriting and drawing #BUT i love to see this as him becoming more laid back and less feeling like he has to appear 100% cool and flawless #but also becoming more generally depressed along with that. like just not being sure what he’s supposed to do with his life #u feel me. that being reflected through his handwriting degrading in care and quality #ofc there’s no objectively correct way to write but u get what i mean the 2000 handwriting is WAY more fancy looking #i was gonna say it also could just be that it’s a high school yearbook signing but like… idk if he’d care enough #to make his writing all pretty and sofisticated just for that #homestar runner

This 4th of July I’m stealing the patriotism euphoria that’s usually associated with assholes idolizing the worst attributes of this country because fuck ‘em I live here too and remembering the things this country actually got Right is an important exercise when trying to rally anyone to want to defend it in November SO putting my money where my mouth is I’ll start easy and say I really like National Parks!! It’s rad how many of them there are and how they’re actual set up to preserve some of the most beautiful wild areas in our country while still letting people visit to enjoy and experience nature!! (Less important but I love how they put national parks on the quarters I think that’s real fun)

Feel free to add on if something speaks to ya!

#The hypothesis I’m testing here is that remembering there are good things now and then can combat apathy a little bit #and this is the one day of the year where everyone has a free pass to say nice things about the US so!#some other fun freebies:#public libraries are really cool!! Love visiting them and I should do that way more #bit of a funnier one but I think our interstate highways are really nice #like I’d love trains too but it’s really cool how you can travel the whole country relatively easily like it’s all pretty connected #I love how women have equal rights! We’re backsliding a little right now which is why it’s so important to latch onto this now!#I love how we don’t have a draft- this one might point to some other issues in the country #but at least from a surface level it’s great that military service isn’t mandatory #If you aren’t in the US and still want to play go for it!#today I’m encouraging everyone to pick at least one little positive thing they like #and then down the line if you’re wondering why voting matters at all #maybe remember that little thing y’know #Do it for the national parks and the libraries and gay marriage and stuff #humming-rambles #anyways that’s my social experiment for the day hope y’all get to see some fun fireworks later!

Transformers wearing fabrics/clothing doesn’t sound completely inconvenient.

What if there was a specifically engineering metal-fabric that seamlessly transforms with a Cybertronian’s alt-mode?

And maybe their versions of fashion designers, tailors, and seamstresses study the science of smooth transfiguration clothing. Like when they get specific commissions they have to measure a bot’s proportions in their root-modes and alt-modes; while they also study a transformer’s transformation process inside and out.

Maybe back in the olden days, professions like tailors and fashion designers were only ever for the wealthy and rich. Because a job where you have to design something that calls for being that invasive to someone’s physical representation of their autonomy would most likely be a rare commodity. And with that rare commodity it’d also be safe to say it could be more of a luxury amongst the wealthy.

I bet it could be so rad that by the time the war started the practice of it ceased to exist.

Then after the war many other bots started picking up the hobby of, I dunno, wire-knitting, metallic weld-sewing, proto-fabric manufacture, and etc.

Or just go with the more evident transformer fashion, where the robots will just wear cloaks and capes in their root modes. And they’ll sometimes appear on their alt modes with a bit of ‘suspense of disbelief’ or something.

But just to let y’all know, there have been three instances that can be used as the best of examples of this article in my opinion:

Wildwheel (Cyberverse)

Rodimus (Last Bot Standing)

Chromia (Song of Jupiter) a fanmade project just fyi it’s reeeeally cool

#sphny speaks (𖦹<𖦹)•*°⊹#transformers #maccadam #maccadams #transformers cyberverse #transformers idw #transformers last bot standing #song of jupiter #cybertronian fashion #I also remember those pictures of megs and op wearing capes so that’s cool #and and I remember seeing if sketch of drift and ratchet in wedding armor which I think is so pretty and cool

Oh man, I binged the first 20 episodes of The Princess's Jewels a few days ago after watching a few review videos on it because I had to see just how bad it actually was, and I've decided to talk more about it here.

For the entire spite-fueled four hours of reading, i kept stopping to take screenshots to send them to @the-navistar-carol and then talk about how stupid a lot of the plot points were. I jokingly called Ariana a jellyfish based on her hairstyle, and the nickname stuck after Gen said "yeah and she's like an actual jellyfish by how the trick you into getting closer because they're so pretty before paralyzing you with their stingers."

I'm putting this under a read more because, as normal, I write a lot.

We all know Jellyfish sucks, but what gets me the most is the wasted potential of the guys (among other things). They are all so! Interesting! And they befall the same fate as female harem members in that their backgrounds and personalities all get set to the wayside in favor of fawning over the MC. They all come from unique, diverse backgrounds that don't get touched up on at all. For example:

Why did Efrit wear a mask all the time when his older brother didn't? Why did he say that "he finally found the woman he was going to reveal his face to" to Abal after he met Jellyfish? Is it some kind of cultural thing for the soldiers and warriors of Xek to wear masks until they fall in love? That would explain why his brother has his face revealed, cuz he's not a warrior! Why is the second prince in charge of the country's army and not the king himself? Why did he STAY the general of the army after he fucked off to another kingdom to become the lover of a foreign state?

Why was Haun Baek taken in by the royal family? The flashback of the queen giving him a new name implies to me that he may have been a slave of some kind, which puts a lot of perspective on why so many people were against his rise to power and disliked him. He was mentioned to be a general and head of the security division of the king, but as far as chapter 21 goes, this has never been brought up again. He's the Harem Pretty Boy who does all the work in high society for Jellyfish.

Speaking of fighting -- when did Jellyfish get a thigh tattoo to summon her sword? What's the backstory behind that? It probably has something to do with the 'swordmaster' thing (which is ANOTHER thing) but when did she get it? Why was she even allowed to learn swordfighting if she came from a seemingly implied patriarchal society? More importantly -- why was everyone okay with this? Why is it only the off-screen "evil old advisors" that hate her doing this.

Are these evil old advisors in the room with us right now?

Why are Nell and his family werewolves? Where did their magic recorder ability come from? This was just seemingly a power that he had that came out of nowhere when they were looking into Benela and her family. From the videos I had assumed he was a poor family that rose into dukedom after the war, but apparently they've always been? Dukes? And the other advisors still see the family as a threat? On one hand I can see where they're coming from, but on the other I don't think the comic is portraying them as "threats" the way I think they are. Nell and his family are seemingly treated like they were commoners who suddenly rose into nobility, rather than pre-existing nobility that fell onto hard times.

I want to know more about Jade and the fact that he's from a holy house from an entirely different country -- i cannot believe Ariana got away with that btw. Like im not even touching the gross overreach of power that is her demanding a noble not of her kingdom to be castrated, but more so on the fact that she practically coerced and stole a descendant of a saint and faced?? No backlash from this? None whatsoever? The gods and the people just let her get away with it because oh, it's an honor for this snobby empirical princess to come in and steal one of their chosen saintly descendants all because his dad pissed her off?

Like I agree that the dad was a scumbag, but Ariana calling him out on it is like the pot calling the kettle black.

Also, I wish Benela and her family were a bigger threat than TJP claims they are. Like, this is apparently the emperor's favored concubine who stole the love of the emperor away from the empress and successfully murdered the crown prince without getting caught. She's apparently some master manipulator but Jellyfish faces no trouble thwarting her at every turn. So what is it? Is she a master manipulator or is she a dunce? Or is the emperor just an idiot who doesn't care about his sons because with the way he treats them, you'd think they were bastard children.

The banquet "queen heel syndrome" scene gets me especially so because that was a good fucking plan!

Benela's plan to reveal and shine a light on Jellyfish's harem and how it was negatively impacting her image and high society was a good plan! That was brilliant! Because it had basis of truth in it. I don't know if the queen heel syndrome thing was a false rumor, or something she deliberately fabricated -- the comic never actually goes out of it's way to disprove it. In fact, I'd argue the QHS thing is *backed* by it, because just a few chapters prior when we first meet Benela, there's a side comment made by a noble woman about how her daughter was chasing after some man she was infatuated with.

But what I do know is that Jellyfish has been disgraceful towards her fiancé and that she has been indulging in her harem. By all accounts, by the implied societal standards of Arbezela or Azkaban, Jellyfish is being a whore. I am not one for mindlessly slut-shaming, but sometimes slut-shaming IS okay if it has a narrative purpose. And it does here. And Jellyfish doesnt even disprove any of their arguments, in fact she does a 1st grade level deflection and instead goes right for insulting Bavilo's lack of marriage prospects, which wasn't what they were talking about at all.

I'd applaud the deflection if it wasn't Ariana doing it, and if it wasn't such a serious and valid accusation that Benela and her family were making.In any other manhwa, this would have worked. This would have damaged Ariana's reputation, and it should've had some actual consequences to it. Instead they completely skip over this plot because the author knows that Ariana has no defense, she can't talk or excuse her way out because regardless of the truth behind the Queen Heel Syndrome, the fact remains what she is doing is inherently shameful.

Like! I am so mad that their scheme didn't work, because it! Was! A! Good scheme! All the best lies have some part of the truth in it, and Ariana should not have been able to weasel herself out of that so easily. In fact, the fact that she did just makes the emperor look like an even bigger incompetent.

Wanna know how this ended? It ended with the emperor blowing up at Bavilo because Bavilo said that he "could make it to the top on his own without the help of talented subordinates" and the emperor perceived that as a slight against him because, apparently, Bavilo was claiming to be heir to the throne? When nowhere in that sentence did Bavilo even so much as say or imply such a thing?

and also--- WHY is it such a bad thing that he's claiming to be vying for the heir seat? It's empty! The Emperor hasn't announced a new successor yet, of course Bavilo would say he wanted to be the crown prince. Nothing that Bavilo said was insulting towards anyone, and was actually quite admirable.

What gets me too is that right after this chapter, the empress claims that the princes are "illegitimate children" because they're the sons of concubines, and that if they were chosen for the role of "carrier of the light" people would question their parentage-- ???

First of all, not at all how concubines work. Concubines are a legitimate role in a harem structure and quite literally their job is to produce more heirs for the throne as back-ups in case something happens to the Heir Apparent. Like that's literally their job. They are official members of the royal palace, to claim that their children aren't legitimate is to claim that they're merely mistresses, not concubines. This was both an insult to the concubines AND the emperor.

Like my god I do not have the time to go into all of the plot holes of this webtoon. I haven't even gone into the total lack of consequences Ariana experiences both politically and socially, and how all of the interesting conflict happens off screen, nor the blatant racism and misogyny present throughout the webtoon, NOR the absolute SHIT worldbuilding.

#ariana de secramise #i cannot BELIEVE i remembered her full name right off the top of my head #the princess's jewels #the princess jewels #haun baek #efrit karsia #jade meldea #anti the princess's jewels #nell phantom #i love you haun baek my man you deserve more screen time and depth beyond 'pretty asian boy stereotype'. ur fight with ariana was so cool #nell phantom you deserve better than a girl who immediately forces you to wear a collar and publicly kissed you in front of a crowd #efrit karsia you are so cool i wish i got to learn more about why you wear a mask and why you are the way that you are #jade meldea you're the only fucking sane man in that goddamn harem you go boo escape the jewel box. gotta love his intense disgust for 🪼#raymond amber i dont actually have any thoughts on you i didnt even realize you had a first name for six chapters. thats also because you'r #literally the only person in the harem called by a 'jewel' name rather than your actual name. why did she call you LEMON?#ur last name is literally amber there that's a jewel name right there.#if i was benela i would've used the emperor's favor for ariana against her bc the man literally coddles her to death. i'd feed into his #delusions about Ariana being his sweet delicate princess who needs to be protected and how oh so mad the other nobles are at ariana for #corrupting their daughters. and dear emperor wouldn't it be better for ariana to stay in the palace for a while? send her jewels back to #their kingdoms until the rumors about ariana's lecherous personality dies down? and bc the emperor is a fucking idiot he'd fall for it #hook line and damn sinker. boom. ariana's been cut off at the knees bc her harem was doing all the hard work for her and now she actually #has to make an effort into doing things HERSELF and also change her dad's mind about her bc he sees her as nothing more than a delicate and #hapless maiden who needs to be protected by daddy's big strong arms.#like no wonder you cant just ask to be the emperor ariana. your dad doesn't see you as a capable adult.#starry's spite reads

I saw the post no fanart but can I ask a question? What is your favorite fanart piece you have already drawn for someone that you look at and think, damn! I did good on that? Please?

Piece that I've drawn for someone? (Gonna exclude myself because technically all my pieces are for someone)

I really like these two

Actually let me link them. Here and here

#this ask made me realize I don't really feel proud about any of my art. huh #I try to look at it from a 'I did that new cool thing/technique and it turned out nice' rather than 'it looks good'. it doesn't #there are a few pieces that I look and think they're pretty neat but I wouldn't praise myself over them. I can always see the imperfections #makes me motivated to improve honesty #positive negativity or something #ask #anonymous #art #fanart #traditional art #the last unicorn #arcane #arcane jinx #jinx #and before anyone asks I drew Jinx for my sibling #as if anyone would remember it was an original post and not an ask but whatever #most of my drawings look good for a week and then. yikes. take that thang away

i was working on something else and out of nowhere i thought about zero, got Really annoyed about his outfit which i've always disliked, and couldnt work on the first thing without doing this alteration first. pay no attention to the top right side nothing is there its just infi

#pokemon #pokemon giratina and the sky warrior #giratina and the sky warrior #pokemon zero #pokemon volo #i actually skimmed the pokemon zero tag bc i was curious about if anyone else had thought about zero in recent times #surprised to see i was not in fact the first person to think of zero/volo. and also incredibly validated BDJHFJF #if zero was any more relevant it'd be an obvious pairing to do i think #i couldnt find it but i Swear i remember a post that was like. ''making out wouldnt fix them but it wouldnt make them any worse''#and i would have put that here if i knew where it was #anyway zero is. actually just strangely always in the back of my mind. i've drawn and posted him once before too actually #he is Not an interesting antagonist by any means. not compared to n or volo or what have you #he is a favorite of mine Purely out of nostalgia bc i thought he was SO cool as a kid. and i still do that never changed HDJBFJF #the sinnoh movies were the only ones i owned on dvd so i watched them on repeat way too many times #the darkrai movie is my favorite but giratina and the sky warrior is pretty good #unnecessarily long tags for a post thats mainly just. a slight zero design touchup. anyway :) i like this guy #clai's art

i feel like. theres designing a character with certain themes and motifs in mind, and then theres making a gijinka for the water bottle on my nightstand

#me when im the only person on the bus wearing a mask: i should make a furry plaguesona #its hard to explain bc. most of the time i try NOT to give my characters a 'strong' theme like making their whole design around #one thing like apples or even broad stuff like baking or cottagecore.. idk if its partly for flexibility or because i cant imagine them #making it their whole personality. not bc i find it cringe or overblown but more like ive learned to associate design with character depth #i had a cutesy uwu persona for most of highschool because i thought it would make me more. likeable? easy to remember? since #memorable character designs are easy to recognize. and one way of doing that is simplifying it with a theme or symbol so you form an #association. but since im a real person its exhausting keeping up that appearance all the time and denying myself things when they dont #fit my 'aesthetic' or 'theme.' i think ive grown past that bc i just collect stuff because i think it looks cool and dont let myself dwell #on how it might 'fit' with my image. but i cant help feeling bad doing it to my own characters bc it feels like im making them too one #dimensional. despite knowing that theyre not real and design alone doesnt reflect depth i cant help feeling like its wrong #despite that i love seeing motifs because it feels like it reflects the characters soul and paradoxically gives them depth. it makes them #interesting to look at too and honestly its pretty fun combining things that fall under a similar category when designing #i struggle find a balance between those two things #actually this reminds me of noelles christmas theme.. i dont remember her saying anything abt liking christmas despite a lot of #her design and character tying back to it. it makes me wonder if she would have feelings about that or doesnt think abt it too hard #or if its like a matching family shirts situation and shes just going along with it??#maybe i should just do whatever i want with my character designs since theyre not real and im thinking abt it too hard #although. this probably has something to do with deep seated identity issues huh #yapping #oc talk #oc
