For the all the references and easter eggs the movie throws at us, I'm glad the cast was only down to six main characters (or eight if you count Kamek and Cranky)
Ngl when I saw this shot
I was like "Yes! The gang's all here!" 💗
And yes I'm aware Daisy is missing but sssshhhhhhh next time in the sequel!

Sonic OC inspired by that kind of weird retcon-ish thing where Silver can't actually time travel on his own and instead just has random time portals happen to him, something that I affectionately refer to as him being "Cursed By God". This character is also cursed by god in a different manner. She doesn't really get to have any especially useful powers or go on fun adventures or anything like the other sonic characters she just has to live in a Twilight Zone episode for her whole life. I got kind of excited about her so she comes with an excess of information and an arbitrarily high effort picture. Her extremely long name amuses me

I will never be over how the score and shots reflect the culture of wherever we are/who we are with
Like for Lindon the music is calm and ethereal with wide, elegant shots usually with nature if not the Great Tree itself
Eregion has similar music and shot sizes but they focus more on the architecture and Celebrimbor’s forge
For Númenor it’s big, sweeping scores and wide shots of the island and the sea surrounding it
For the Harfoots and Stoors the music is sweet and calm and comforting. The shots are a lot closer in and focus more on the people and their food
For Khazad-dûm the music is quite aggressive and pounding and the shots are wide and focus on the rock of the mountain and the things the dwarves have made from it
For Rhûn the score is lively but ominous and the shots are wide (again) and show the extent of the desert
For the Southlands the music is similar to the Harfoots/Stoors but with a sinister and foreboding element to it. The shots are close in and focus on the houses and the people
And finally for Adar and the orcs the music is dark and quite frightening. The shots are close and low-lit and focus mostly on Adar but also the orcs themselves

Funny how people will be so weird about fma 03's Scar design, citing him being younger/'bishie' compared to the manga and Brotherhood versions as a negative against the first anime adaptation because, let's be real here, a lot of people see this design decision as "feminizing", making him weaker or more palatable at the expense of the role he's meant to play.
Meanwhile 03 Scar, unlike the manga and Broho counterparts, not only is more staunchly anti-military and consistently uses violence and strategies against the system throughout his entire arc, he straight up has a kill count so massive it would make manga + Broho Scars blush (and manga + Broho Elrics have a full existential crisis).
My man never once becomes an Amestrian reformist, never once celebrates the militia (he would have laughed Miles right out of the room if he tried to guilt him for not licking military boots for a scrap of acceptance; in canon he fully declares he has zero pity for soldiers PERIOD) and goes down killing well over 7000+ soldiers and state alchemists in his entire run.
Need I remind everyone that he draws a city-spanning alchemic rune, by himself, with a boulder and a chain to drag it? And lures in the Amestrian invaders by dropping Kimbly's freshly murdered carcass (his doing of course) that he carried with his teeth to the top of a building, while armless and bleeding out? Drawing them further in while dodging gunfire on foot. Iconic. Awe-inspiring. Pure 100% platinum-grade badass.
03 Scar never loses sleep about killing the pigs of a fascist nation, never cedes any ideological or material ground to them, and he could never be shamed out of actively fighting back. Unfortunately we can't say the same for the defanged mangahood Scars. Because despite their more overtly gruff and 'tough' character designs, they're so thoroughly cowed by a small mob of Amestrians who use basic shaming tactics to stop them dead in their tracks and join their side, never to kill another jackbooted hog.
03 Scar clears manga and Brotherhood Scars, easy

“[A house’s] basement may fill with churning acid like an empty stomach, and its gorge may rise as it asks itself through clenched teeth ‘what did I do wrong?’ It may grow bitter. It may grow hungry. So hungry and so bitter that its scruples dissolve and doors unlock themselves.”

Charles: What are you drawing?
Blair: A lady. :)
Charles: Do you have something you want to tell me?
(don't ask why the journal's shading did that, I don't know lmao)

In the mid-1980s, animated adaptations of arcade games were commonplace— for example, Hanna Barbera's Pac-Man or Saturday Supercade's Q*Bert. Both of these shows, for lack of a better term, 'Americanize' the designs of the titular characters, so I got to thinking...
"What would a mid-1980s cartoon based off Rascal look like?"
Seeing as I've had prior experience in drawing faux animation cels, I decided to put that talent to the test and whip up not only a cel drawing but also a painted background for a scene for a hypothetical 1985 Rascal cartoon! 🍬🧡💙🧡🍬
(You can get a print of both the standalone cel as well as the cel overlaid on top of the painted background over on my RedBubble store!)
