In the past, people in the Animal Crossing community would make fun of Tom Nook as a sleazy landlord. Since then, he's really rehabilitated his image as this 'heart of gold' businessman (he's the one who puts bells and furniture in trees for you to find! he adopted orphans! he donates to charity!), but New Horizons genuinely paints the most devious version of him.

He's successfully privatized settler colonialism: you pay HIM to move to a "deserted island" (which apparently the oceans in the AC world are just full of) and start a colony that he is directly invested in. At best he's running a weird vacation package scam (you arrive on the island with no money and in debt for "using his services"). At worst, he's using you to set up company towns. For god's sake, he literally has his own fake currency that he forces you to use to pay off your debt. But don't worry, he's repackaged it in a way that definitely doesn't sound like an MLM scam: the Nook Mileage Program!

You're no longer just his tenant or his temporary part-timer, you're his business lackey. The entire tutorial section of the game has you spending actual weeks running around completing tasks and doing hard labor to set up his colony. You're even tasked with preparing his properties and finding buyers for them. No, you aren't a tenant anymore. You work for the landlord. You are directly responsible for finding tenants for him. And he doesn't even fucking pay you. Not for setting up town hall and museum, or his nephew's shop –– which is the ONLY store on the entire island that sells necessities –– or bringing KK Slider to town, or helping populate his town. Not a single cent. No, actually, you have to pay HIM to BUY infrastructure like bridges and stairs and park benches. And all the while, he's telling you're the "resident representative"; you get to call the shots! That the reward is the community's progress. That what you're doing is in everyone's best interest (but most importantly, his).

Since NH's release, people have done a lot of legwork to say that Tom Nook isn't a capitalist while the game shows him at his very worst. He owns the only general store in town. You're forced to use a phone that he modified and branded as his own. Buy Nook-branded furniture and merchandise at the self-serve kiosk in the town hall, a governmental building! There's no conflict of interest here!

But hey, if you're tired of being the landlord/business mogul's goon, you can also find work as a deluxe resort home designer for a company that also pays you in their special company currency that can only be used to buy their products instead of a real salary! Because that's what the Animal Crossing franchise needs! More vacation homes!!!

#this is a really long winded way to say i really really really really hate new horizon's storyline and player role #i really hate that not only your house but the entire TOWN. the whole COMMUNITY you're a part of is owed to tom nook's business #i really hate the “vacation getaway package” angle because it shows just how commercialized the entire premise of nh is #and how lost the game is in its original core concept #animal crossing is about the experience of moving to a new town and becoming a part of that community #just to compare: all past ac games have a similar opening #you're on a bus or train or taxi to someplace new. a stranger strikes up a conversation and you get to know them before arriving #new horizons opens with you at customer service desk filling out an client application before a flight.#in prev games working for nook in the tutorial is meant to be demeaning. you want it to be over with so you can actually start living life #but in new horizons working for tom nook IS your life. and it's so rewarding! don't you feel rewarded?#you aren't a person. you aren't a new neighbor. you're tom nook's client. and then his unpaid employee. and the game insists it's fun to be #that's how void the game is #because it's bad enough that a rpg life sim got turned into a sandbox game where you have to build the town yourself #but the only reason why you're building it is because the landlord who you're in debt to TOLD you to build it.#everything is a rewards program! everything is a tour service! be sure to do your daily tasks to earn nook bucks to spend on nook merch!#that really sucks imo.#i mean. the entire game is based around the vacationing industry. of course it all feels fake and temporary. it's only a vacation.#long post #rant #not art #god the fact that your starter villagers can't even decide where to live you have to decide for them #i've never played a game that does the opposite of handholding #where instead it's the PLAYER who has to handhold the npcs through everything. and newsflash!! it's really exhausting and boring

Wrapping up the season with a redraw (Jan 2024)!

Thank you all for these last 6 months, I have loved making so many people laugh from my silly comics B*)

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #laios touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuk tims #izutsumi #When I start my weekly dungeon Meshi posting #I never would have thought it would have pushed me to grow so much as an artist.#Nor that some of those comics would become some of the most popular things I've ever made!#I really did just want to start incorporating some more self-indulgent art into my week.#I love this series dearly and it has been a delight to be able to draw these characters and see so many new people learn to love them #Oh and don't get worried; I *will* still be drawing dungeon meshi fan art now-and-again.#I have a really cool thing to show off next Thursday!#I've been a fan for nearly a decade. This isn't a hyperfixation this is a part of my core personality.#This anime adaptation was beyond good. I'm so excited to see season two!

the trio out on a coffee run

#sfr draws #star draws tmp #the magnus protocol #I decided Sam is tall #Alice is wearing a suit so she's technically not violating dress code #Sam is holding Alice's coffee because she's doing a cool anime protag pose #Gwen is accusing Alice of using Sam as her lackey (unbeknownst to her that's the reason Sam started dating Alice)#they tried to invite Colin but he was busy installing a new lock in his office

Gore, Violence and Blood under the cut

What a mess

#fop nature au #fairly oddparents #fop a new wish #fairly oddparents a new wish #fop #dale dimmadome #Flowers OC #candy gore #gore #blood #body horror #this really is a mess on so many levels #I wanted to make this situation as difficult as possible for the fairy council to theoretically clear up #everything from the animal to the location to the injury is a nightmare to try and explain #And theres a reason I spent so much time showing the gore getting on his injury. Mans gonna have a rainbow bitemark on his leg forever now #Not exactly easy to explain away #Also I think I accidentally established that Magic was a little toxic so he might have minor blood poisoning lol #Im sure he'll be fine #This is how all gay people are made but the fairies make you forget it #Actually while scripting this I realized how much this looked like the set up for some kind were-deer or were-fairy(??) plotline #which was not the intention but would be a hilarious direction to take the plot in LMAO #Also Id like to mention that flowers is fine. Fairies are functionally immortal aside from magic backup #Itll be healed up like nothing happened it no time #that being said it is still kinda pissed about the skull smashing #Dales got multiple broken ribs plush his leg is in shambled. Absolutely demolished #He's gonna have to get metal implants #You might think 'oh he's gonna opt to get a prosthetic leg now too'#No. Because hes a cowardly little bitch #He doesnt want to get his leg removed if its not absolutely necessary and because he's a nasty little hypocrite #Anyway this will be the start of a very nasty spiral methinks

it's been awhile since I've worked on this project! I've had this verse finished for months but didn't want to post it on its own, and instead wait until the whole thing is strung together to show the final result all at once. But I'm tired of holding onto it, so here is one section of my deltarune animation! My art tag has other clips if anyone is interested in seeing more~

Living together.

The snail video if you are interested :)

#showing random videos you found abt an animal fun fact is a love language if you didn't know btw #not understanding a topic and starting with drop out ideation is part of the journey when you are a student.#it evolves later (or simultaneously) with wanting to quit your job. in WW case both apply at the same time #vash is the kind of guy to really be marveled abt every little new piece of information he gets in his hands #and the 1st person he thinks abt to share his knowledge and joy with is ofc ww #the fact that they live together only amplified this by a thousand #ww tends to hear him out and also watch more videos with him. rn he's too busy weighing studying vs quitting #I really enjoyed drawing Vash in the bg for this one he's so cute #i hope its noticeable how much fun i am having by putting them through all of this.#why didn't i do this more since earlier???#aesthetics be damned. put them THROUGH -IT-#trigun #vash the stampede #trigun stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #vashwood #trigun fanart #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #lenssi draws #Trigun Uni!

Studies I drew while referencing Will Nichols' expression sheets to figure out my storyboard shorthand for the adult Nublar 6 designs on Jurassic World Chaos Theory.

My shorthand wound up evolving, but it's still interesting to see where I started.

Check out the original expression sheets here-- they're fantastic!
