#rad likes robots

Day in Fandom History: October 6…

After being struck by lightning, Shannon’s programming malfunctions, causing her to fall in love with Rad, and at the same time, Rad falls for Shannon, much to both sides of the aisle hating each other a la Romeo and Juliet. “Rad Likes Robots” premiered on this day, 7 Years Ago.

Have some sketches of a thing no one is interested in anymore, woo. I don't know why Rad Likes Robots has been on my mind, I haven't watched the silliness that is OK KO in forever.

Their relationship lasted only one short episode. They were too powerful together, the status quo couldn't handle it (don't worry, dear writers, I understand). It became a tragic story of heartbreak with lots of Romeo and Juliet references.

Their song is So Emotional by Whitney Houston. It is eerily perfect.

I WOULD RIP MY HEART OUT

i wanna say im very appreciative of the way you design your characters with huge thighs and stuff to actually have Tummy as well, its really nice to see. so many folks just wanna make characters caked and shy away from depicting any belly to go along with it. its genuinely very nice to see those kinds of depictions and representation in your characters

learning how to draw fat characters has been super important for multiple reasons, one: because hearing how much folks appreciate seeing themselves in my characters always makes my day (and I hear that about Rad the most), and two: because it genuinely gave me a better eye for proportions and shape language in general which made me better at drawing *all* body types. I still have room to improve but seriously I recommend all artists to learn how to draw different body types!! it's good for you. Literally anything beyond skinny, and sorta slightly buff. please

Okay it’s 3am and I have to be at my first day of work at my new job in seven hours.. but I just had a THOUGHT.

So hear me out- Jay can control electricity. Obviously.

But has anyone else considered the idea of him being able to basically mind control other people?? Or hack their bodies?? Since humans literally run on electrical impulses??

Now I know Nya can’t draw the water out of his lungs, but that doesn’t mean that using your element inside someone else’s body is impossible. Maybe that’s just confined to other elemental masters. And of course I haven’t seen DR yet (two episodes away from finishing Crystallized!! I’ll have caught up with DR by this time next week for certain), but I’ve heard a lot of discussion about Jay coming back as a villain in S2… can you imagine how absolutely batshit of a villain Jay concept would be if he came back and just mind controlled people?? And it would totally tie into his cult leader antics as well (I’m still so sad that the League of Jays was pretty much abandoned after the first couple episodes… it was such a funny concept and could’ve actually been used for some fantastic plot/character development … but… alas :( )

Anyway. Basically all that to say I just got smacked in the face with a new Villain Jay idea and I’m soooo going to start using him for fic stuff. Maybe I’ll even tie it in to the AU concept I’ve been working on for a while.. maybe..

ababababa murderbot

murderbot of the murderbot diaries fame.... holds a dear place in my heart. it has some shit to work out and that's fun to see 😌

The sonic robots don't seem all that fucked up to me tbh

Oh, there's still some fucked-up robot shit in the Sonic series, it's just a different kind of fucked-up from Murder Drones. lmao

Like, Sonic doesn't have robots wearing humans as skin suits levels of fucked-up, but that doesn't mean there's nothing fucked-up.

For example, the Badniks count as a lower level of fucked-up, considering they're powered by living animals. Metal Overlord counts as a level of fucked-up, considering he'd technically be a rogue AI there that took over and did... well... that to himself. There's that robot Eggman used in Sonic Lost World that used the planet's life force to power it.

Omochao's existence. /j

If you count the Krudzu Hybrid Hydra from Archie, then the series also has biomechanical abominations. (Does it count if it was metal merged with plants instead of flesh? Eh, it's still biological material.)

If you want to count what Starline did to Surge and Kit in IDW, then that's also some biomechanical shit.

Speaking of IDW, the entire Metal Virus saga. 'Nuff said.

Then there's Tails Doll and whatever the fuck that ungodly abomination it transformed into in Archie was.

If you count the Metarex Saga of Sonic X, that whole plotline was pretty fucked-up when you think about it.

Do I even begin with the whole roboticization thing?

(Kinda funny, that last one is like a direct opposite parallel to Murder Drones. Roboticization is turning flesh into metal, while the Absolute Solver turns metal into flesh. Being roboticized turns you from a fleshy being into a mostly robotic being with maybe some fleshy parts still. Being possessed by the Solver turns its robotic host's insides fleshy.)

Oh, and speaking of that, both series also have robot possessions! Ixis Naugus and his crystallization magic, anyone?

I don't think it'll get to MD levels of fucked-up, considering the series is still primarily aimed at children (and MD is primarily aimed at teens and young adults), but all that still exists canonically in the series. lol

keep telling myself “I should draw different ultrakill characters” and then I just keep drawing v1 and v2 again lol

Listen, this show is so good. Story structure, characters, art, animation, its all top tier. I've watched it three times since it came out and every time I find something new about it that's great that I didn't notice the first time. If you're worried that the story is unfinished, don't be, it ends in a satisfying place and even if there's not a season 2, this is always going to be a favorite for me. But I would very much like a season 2 or just money to be thrown at these creators for whatever else they want to do.

I feel weird about Arcane S2 because ….. It'd be rad if Arcane was super leftist or w/e, but I never expected it to be. And I was happy with that! I always expected Arcane to continue having its “X-men level” of political takes— “both sides are at fault and we need to come together and have compassion." I don't need a leftist moral political justification to enjoy a fun fantasy story.

But season 2 really did surprise me? by swerving off and being like “actually the political oppression storyline Does Not Matter, never mattered, and won’t even get a resolution— not even a conservative or centrist resolution?” XD

They don't even resolve the political storyline with the classic X-men “both sides are suffering, why cant we get along" type of ending; instead they just abandon it completely. By the last four episodes the show is all about fighting random Evil Outsiders and Magic Robots from the League of Legends Cinematic Universe to advertise upcoming League skins and spin-offs, while the plot about the warring political factions gets completely dropped without any resolution beyond Vague Implications.

I guess my take is that, unlike a lot of people, I was never expecting Arcane to be any more politically radical than an x-men movie— and I still enjoyed it a lot!

But I was expecting it to care about the storyline it had set up? And I was genuinely surprised by how little it did.

In hindsight it now feels odd how much time they spent emphasizing the characters experiencing police brutality and political divides and riots and violence at border crossings and class disparity and being crippled by pollution, because now we know none of this was ever going anywhere? XD

My surprise was not that all that politically loaded imagery was building up to a centrist message about how there are good people on both sides and we need to reach across the aisle. Because that’s always how I thought it would end, and that’s Fine for a fun fantasy show? But I was surprised to realize that none of the imagery was ever intended to be building up to anything, not even a general centrist message about reaching across the aisle. It was using political imagery in a hollow way, without intent, for Shock Value, for the Aesthetic.

the actual story is just a generic comic book fight between humans who want people to live vs robots who want to kill everything; everything else is just there to dress that up.
