#remember this is all subjective

[deswhomst]

my toxic trait is that i want to gatekeep some characters simply because of how stupid their antis are. please go touch some grass. a fictional character is not my moral compass. i can appreciate and explore the worst person ever if they are a well written character that appeals to me. some of you sound like “oh nooo this not real character killed another not real character so if a real person likes them i Must send them death threats in real life”

I’m rereading all of the VBS stories right now and Toya must have looked so out of place singing on Vivid Street before he met Akito and started getting his outfits picked out and styled by him.

There Are No Innocents: An Analysis on Villainy in Castlevania

This essay aims to analyze each of Castlevania’s primary villains, what exactly they represent in their roles as antagonistic forces, and explore the thesis that their capacity to embrace evil and also reject it is what makes the characters inherently human despite their inhuman origins. Each section will also compare and contrast both depictions from the animated universe as well as their video game counterparts.

[wip] i can draw whatever i want forever

[loupy-mongoose]

Me: I have so many things I want to draw! Panel and art redraws, the next comic, silly doodles, the possibilities are endless! :D

My brain: Okay but you know all those little factoid things you’ve been picking at relentlessly? Are they perfect yet?

Me: D:

…So I’ve been working on updating some of the general reference material of Linden Roots.

Namely: Timeline, Height chart, Family trees, and New MegaRef! :D That's... not Mega evolution... X3

With the now long-established inclusion of the Shadegrove crew, things have been expanded as well. Got some more tidbits to add to stuff! ^^ I keep thinking of things I want to add or change about them, but I now feel that they’re in a place where I can share what if have. :>

At least it’s still something I want to do, and I’m not forcing myself, lol

~ ~ ~

The timeline is the least changed. Just added a couple years to put it up to current time, although in-story it's not there yet. Also slotted Akoya and Randy's transformations in. ^^

As with all previous height charts, it's mostly just so I have a rough visual of how they all compare. I tend to be lenient with their heights when I draw them casually, lol.

And the trees get to be way more detailed than last time! :D

And, finally, the new and improved MegaRef! Every Mew on one canvas, quick and easy reference access! :3

Hope you enjoy/get something out of this! It's nice to have it all done and now on-hand for future use! ^^

Anyway, brain, can I PLEASE work on those other things I want to do now? XD

Res AU Joronia drawings. Character rambling and bonus doodles under cut.

This AU takes place a good while after the events of Triple Deluxe happened. Since then, Taranza's mostly recovered mentally from everything. He was able to move on from his grief and (somewhat) forgive himself. Now that Joronia's in his life again, seemingly back to her former self, some of those wounds he'd thought were fully healed have started to ache again. He still feels ultimately guilty for what happened to her.

He's thrilled that Joronia's been given a second chance at life, but is somewhat wary deep down. This feels to good to be true, that she's just back with seemingly no strings attached. The other shoe could drop any day now, and he could lose her all over again. Fearing this, he wants to make the most out of what could be a short time to be together again with his friend.

Joronia senses that there's a distance between the two of them now that wasn't there before. It shouldn't be surprising; he's probably still hurt from what she did. Other people definitely are. She's determined, though, to work hard to make it up to everyone she's hurt, and to prove to them (and herself) that she's not really like that, that she's capable of being better.

The Mirror's influence twisted her mind and her perception of reality. It made her feel like she was inadequate, and that everyone else were enemies to be subjugated. Now, she's supposed to be normal and better, but she still feels like there's something wrong with her head. She still doesn't feel good enough, and it still feels like everyone hates her. It's hard to trust herself. She's not sure if it's some lingering effect of the Mirror, or if there's just something inherently wrong with her now. She's scared.

She's afraid that something will happen, that she'll revert to how she was as Queen, and that she'll hurt Taranza again. Someone who'd always helped her, who'd stuck with her even when she was absolutely horrible to him, and who's kindness she's relying on again now, staying at his home as she worked on getting her life back together. She's a burden on him, and she always has been. She hates it.

Still, her deepest, most selfish wish is that they could be real friends again.

---

These two need to have a long, honest discussion about their feelings toward each other and themselves. Both of them are absolutely terrified about that prospect, though, because they each think that the other secretly resents them to some degree. If they actually talked through it, they'd quickly realize that they both want the same thing.

Considering if adding Galactadad to Falce and Meta... Have my concepts

[enbysiriusblack]

peter pettigrew is smart, he just has exam anxiety

[luck-of-the-drawings]

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

I LOVE QUEEN SOO MUCH I THINK THEYRE JUST SO SO NEAT AND SILLY... the best thing about a cute character is that u get to draw them all scared and bloody and crying and shaking and upset and you can also put a spider on them

[wackywatchdotcom]

im obsessed with pomni cus shes one of the most multifaceted characters ive ever seen in a way that doesnt feel so contradictory that its inconsistent. she is nice but also shes impatient and snippy but also her response to stress is to stop thinking OR to bolt OR to start hitting things and launching herself at things and which of these she picks is almost completely random except for the slight degree that what is scaring her influences which one it is. she is jaded but also she is not jaded. she is easily frightened but can also handle being extremely scared for a long time. under mild pressure she can work on solving problems relatively calmly. shes selfish but also she tries to help when she can. she is an asshole under pressure. she is shockingly quiet and casual under normal circumstances. shes not receptive to reassurance half the time but the other half of the time she appreciates it. she is distrustful of others. shes severely logical but also spends a lot of time too stressed to think and is easily confused. she is very observant and can put things together in her environment but also she has no clue whats going on and is often guessing. she knows what larping and collisions are and how to exploit design flaws in the game. despite her fearful nature she is calm in social settings. she is bad at socializing but engages in it frequently. she is emotionally intelligent but also has to be not scared first. despite not being quick to comfort she is very good at knowing how to cheer people up. she is comfortable speaking her mind and is extremely blunt. she gets annoyed at inconsistency and things being loud and active and eventful. she hates being in a game it pisses her off and upsets her but also shes the only player weve seen to get EXTREMELY invested in the npcs, even more than ragatha. theres so much to her. theres so much to her i never stop thinking about her

My advice on the news, as someone who’s watched much worse and much more explosive YouTuber “fallouts” many times before:

One, don’t go hunting for answers. Either the people involved will supply them when they’re ready (or even if they’re not, depending on outside curiosity and demands) or you will have to get invasive and annoying to get those answers. Be completely honest with yourself: does not having that information affect you in a detrimental way? Remember, it is not your duty to know every bad thing someone you like has done. There’s no such thing as being a moral failure for having enjoyed content from someone when you didn’t know they were… whatever is up with Iskall. Be brutally honest: do you NEED to know what happened, or are you morbidly curious?

Two, depending on what answers do or don’t come to life, allow yourself to feel things accordingly. If it comes out he’s done some heinous shit, allow yourself to be angry and grieve. Don’t start an online mob or anything, but you’re allowed to feel sad about it. If it comes out he didn’t do anything but had, like, a significant difference of opinion or something that led to the hermits parting ways with him, let yourself feel relieved or annoyed or whatever and do what you feel best doing. If no answers come at all - learn to let mysteries sit unsolved. You do not need to know everything, least of all any potentially problematic things a youtuber you like has done.

I’m trying SO hard to not have the most catastrophic diabolical earth shattering koitsuki relapse right now. I’m protecting you all from my feral mouth foaming ugly old man yaoi thoughts and it’s the hardest battle I’ve ever had to fight
