it was mid-autumn festival recently and i wanted to take the opportunity to make dq characters share mooncake :')

ngl my plan was to elaborate on my headcanons for ancient del culture (aka before the shadowlord eroded Del over time) but i don't really have the energy so maybe i'll come back another time with my thoughts

but the short version is that the Topaz is their talisman, and its powers and traits are relative to the Del people. so in this instance, the importance of the moon to the Topaz's power is in parallel to its importance to the people. (what that means is up for interpretation. i have ideas but you may have others)

anyway maybe post-DQ3 they do a harvest festival, or maybe even dragon night itself, and people make some form of mooncake to share with loved ones <3

You know, I feel like we're not talking enough about the fact that Alastor has in his room a full reproduction (?) of a swamp-forest that's highly likely very similar to the one where he was killed. Talk about being morbid.

Edit: someone pointed out in the comments that the swamp-forest is called bayou. It's a kind of ecosystem in Louisiana.

#And he was eating a deer in it #And we know he kind of embraced his deer identity #Idk I feel like there is some symbolic meaning related to his feelings about his death that I'm not fully grasping #Maybe something connected to his obsession with power because by doing this he's stating he isn't affected even by his own death?#Which is an act as shown first of all by the panic attack he had when he did almost die against Adam #And second (if it's still canon) by his fear of dogs #Still I find this interesting #hazbin hotel #alastor hazbin hotel #alastor #alastor the radio demon #the radio demon #alastor hazbin #hazbin hotel alastor

baby👶 drawings. these are very dear to me rn.. 2nd pic is my Nelavis with @barvin0k's Varonur 🩵 last one is a baby bosmer and snow elf, hairiest of them all. although the bosmer was meant to be my girl Barletta too lols

#tes #skyrim #my art #oc #nelavis #barletta #😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔 babies are so sweetum ugh my heart is crumbling rn #referenced some anne g*ddes stuff for dis #i call them snow elves instead of falmer like g*lebor would want me to #i never really get to talk about my elf anatomies at length cus i'm lazy but i sprinkled some info in the first pic #altmer society is EugenicsLand so you could only tell if your child has 'good' traits when they hit puberty #ex. height and shoulder width is something very important to them #if you don't have those traits ur pretty much a failure #other elves have it easier 🤓#idk i still might make some kinda infographic for the way i picture them but umm maybe not who knows #on snow elves and bosmer the fur is still 'confused' when they're in baby stage and is pretty much everywhere #it evens out w/ age and stays on the back; neck; sides of face the most and in places where human body hair wud be #idk ummm..and i think all elves grow their nails out unless they're very intertwined with humans in their life #ex. my snelf elisif; she has her nails trimmed to be regarded as more human i guess #nails are most important to altmer tho and might be a status symbol of some kind... they like using them in combat too #it's shameful for an altmer to not have long nails for any reason but there can be exceptions #like my el*nwen that can't physically grow nails out because of burn injury #so she has fake ones on her combat gloves #it's cute #elf nails aren't as frail as human nails and are more like an animals claws (corny) but bosmers' are the sturdiest #and their nails are curved in shape. for U know. Climbing and stuff #cause dunmer and altmer etc. have straight nails. they can hit the nail salon

How would you redesign Headmaster Magneto? Just out pf curiousity because while he served it didn’t feel like… Erik.

i have to keep it 100 i have no idea without just. rerunning his original design but with a palette swap LOL but we try around here

#xmen #xmen comics #magneto #erik lehnsherr #snap sketches #CAUSE LIIIKEE i want to keep SOMEE elements of the headmaster look obviously #i like its design intent. or how i see its design anyway idfk .... idk what im sayin im sleepy #just gotta. throw a few more things on there .... maybe... again i dont know 😔#the bigass M just makes me think of megaman gigamix i cant even lie #having/wanting to keep this as a one piece/leotard with that big ass m is probablyl whats stumping me if im so tbh #for some reason the lack of 'underwear' and helmet really is doing a lot for it Not feeling like magneto #the helmet i get Thats His Symbol ATP but the underwear ..... girl idk Strong Man or something like that #its just awkward because headmaster magneto is Supposed to be more tame or . 'domesticated' i guess vjALKE #not less powerful but he shouldnt be as intimidating/outwardly powerful if. that makes sense???#the first thought seeing him shouldnt be 'hes going to stomp me to death' it should be. Not That LKVJAEKj #BUT AT LEAAASSST in the back of the mind being likek 'he could probably stomp me to death'#SOME power but not to a threatening degree idfk what im saying my TUMMY IS RUMBLIGN AGAIN #what did i eat todasy. i ate like five hot pockets today thats what i ate. and some grapes #idk im tired. maybe ill try this again down the line #anyway enjoy if you can. saturday is upon us which means i can DOODLE AGAIN

that one movie sinbad did about the genie

#my art #dc comics #shazam #captain marvel #billy batson #mary batson #mary bromfield #mary marvel #earth-101 #me making the character whose name has gone through a bajillion changes and legal issues into a trans woman and a story of accepting onesel #and the pressure of transitioning and being trans as a public figure #and combining mary and billy into the same character at different points in her life #basically the bit is that kid billy transforms into an adult Woman superhero and is like. what's up with that.#hey wizard. why'd you make me a girl.#and the wizard's like. dead. so isn't able to explain.#and later on kid finds out that the powers transforms you into the idealized version of your self in your heart #and for this kid its a cool and strong lady #cue a lot of weird identity shit and name changes and struggles with self image and being like #''am i trans bc of being the captain or is the captain a woman because i'm trans. is this something i want or do i just feel obligate to.''#eventually big moment of self discovery and she comes out as a woman and changes her name to mary #maybe when she fully comes out she transforms by saying mary instead of shazam as a fun like. ''say my name'' to ''say YOUR name'' reversal #as a symbolic moment of oh. that's me :)#idk. i'm spitballin

does suguru canonically smoke? i like to imagine that if he does, satoru double-takes whenever he catches the smell of tobacco on the wind, spins around in the middle of busy city streets, ignores the way his heart thuds at every flash of long black hair. he buys a pack of cigarettes on suguru’s birthday the first year after, lights one just to watch it burn. he used to complain about the way the scent of smoke would settle into suguru’s clothes. how his mouth would taste like nicotine late at night. how his hands were dotted with burn scars after years of fumbling around with cheap lighters. and satoru has six eyes, has a brain that cannot stop conjuring suguru in all of his blind spots. but the lack of light after the last cigarette in his pack burns out to ash is as close to nothing as he’s ever seen.

#idk this might stay in the drafts for a while #this could have gone so many ways #information theory and physics and fire and all #or maybe how disgustingly symbolic their relationship is with those cigarettes #it feels too on the nose. idk #gojo and being a fire—bright and unstainable #maybe geto is the cigarette. maybe he’s burnt to nothing #maybe gojo thinks so anyway #idk. something something something #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #satosugu #stsg #gojo x geto #i guess. since they sort of kiss #gojo satoru #geto suguru

Is anyone talking about Megatronus' cog and how maybe Megatron taking that was also a sign of him being not a good leader.

Is anyone complaining about how Orion got the Matrix going to also complain about how Megatron stole Megatronus' cog out of Sentinel's chest even though 1. he supposedly doesn't believe in Primes and false prophets any more and 2. Sentinel stole that cog from Megatronus' body who he murdered, so Megatron is literally just perpetuating that cycle of treating a dead hero's body parts as a collectible one is owed for having the Vision And Initiative To Seize Power. And being a hypocrite because despite supposedly hating Primes, he still covets Megatronus/his iconography so much he stole his cog and used it for his own despite the fact Alpha Trion (the last living Prime) gifted Megatron a perfectly usable one that he got consensually unlike Megatronus'?

Bc like. If we're talking symbolism into account. Idk it felt pretty symbolic to me that one of Sentinel's evil acts was to steal someone else's t-cog and then what does Megatron do? Steal someone's t-cog. Sure, Sentinel stole it first and was a bad guy so he ostensibly doesn't deserve having his corpse treated with dignity, but like... was it not obvious to anyone else that that act was where Megatron definitively went over the line of "revenge on an evil leader" to "stealing dead a dead guy's organs to suck out his physical power and symbolic presence for himself."

Are we going to talk about that or are we just going to keep bitching about how Orion was given the Matrix while he was dead, not expecting to be given a chance at life again, not seeking power for his own gain, with the consent/blessing of the previous Primes which somehow makes him evil and unfair

#squiggposting #like idk call me crazy but maybe megatron did bad things in this movie #call me crazy but megatron isn't some uwu poor baby uniquely oppressed by the system and uh #his ass is a hypocrite. is anyone else gonna call that out? just me? okay lol #'no more false prophets!' (makes the badge of his movement the face of a prime)#(steals a prime's t-cog even though he had his own tcog just bc megatronus' t-cog was Cooler And Stronger)#it's almost like it's a deliberate message or something #that orion gained power by trying to stop violence and trying to remind someone to put the ppl and democratic processes over revenge #and megatron gained power by murdering two people and stealing one of their organs and then gathering devotion by promising #unrestrained violence and feel good revenge #i wonder :) if maybe there's an intended message behind the plot points #of how/why dee became megatron and orion became optimus #and their clearly different ideologies of leadership that were demonstrated by their actions #long before either of them were given/took a symbol of leadership for themselves

Guys, it just occurred to me that they were on the wrong sides of each other for the kiss.

Crowley was on the left, and he's almost ALWAYS on the right. Aziraphale is on the right, and he is almost ALWAYS on the left.

All I'm saying is, if the s3 kiss happens with them switched back, I'm never shutting up about it.

#and you can quote me on that jack #the symbolism of them being on the wrong side really helps to highlight how Wrong and Uncomfortable™ that kiss was supposed to feel #(this is me to the people who complained that it was too stiff and awkward bc DT and MS are straight like stfu)#it was SUPPOSED to feel awkward and desperate and wrong #the music alone tells us that #and them being on the wrong side of each other; symbolic of being wrong-footed bc of the fight maybe?#or maybe symbolic of crowley finally doing something to break them out of their status quo #idk but there's something to this i can feel it #Good omens #good omens spoilers #good omens season 2 #good omens season 2 spoilers #good omens 2 #good omens 2 spoilers #gos #gos spoilers #gos2 #gos2 spoilers #gomens #gomens spoilers #gomens 2 #gomens 2 spoilers #good omens s2 spoilers #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #aziraphale #crowley #mine #meta #the kiss

do you ever think about how bella spends all of new moon struggling to keep up with her own personal sun, but as soon as edward comes home she feels safe and comforted by the dark again 🥺

#remember when she said “I like the night without the dark we'd never see the stars”??#maybe that was supposed to symbolize something about her character idk

Unfortunately, I cannot get the image out of my head that very soon after its introduction in Gotham the Batsignal lamp becomes something that social media influencers frequently trespass/risk their lives to make content with.

#This is mostly due to the vague location it has in The Batman #I personally think the symbol makes much more sense on top of a police station or something #batman #Dc comics #Only in Gotham #Gotham #Or idk just a really high tower #Or maybe it moves now #Who can say

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

Okay I just watched the first episode of The Heart Killers!!

It is 12am now and I just know I’m gonna fall asleep standing up tomorrow 😴🪫 (today?) but gosh that was so good!! I’m not expecting much except to be entertained and that’s what I got!!

I can’t believe Style was that flirty and sassy with Fadel before his deal with Kant! Like that was just him being himself! 😄

My favorite part of the ass-grab moment wasn’t even the ass-grab. It was FirstKhao smiling at each other!!! Ooooh that got me giggling and kicking my feet more than anything!!

I love music but I always pay more attention to the official OSTs than the songs chosen for background, but this time I’m paying attention to all the songs! I gotta look some up cause there were so many good ones!

The visuals are stunning, this is looking like a big production! Sets, props, costumes, amazing! But was it just me or was the audio really bad? It sounded kinda fuzzy/echoey and it seemed to be only when they spoke, not the background music so I don’t think it was my earbuds? Idk if anyone else had that issue, I didn’t see anyone post about it.

Aaahhhh that was so good tho! I can’t wait for more!!!

#just had to let out my feelings #also call me lame but I’m Catholic and I don’t like people wearing rosaries or crosses or shirts with Jesus on them just for fashion’s sake #like that means something it’s not just a cute accessory or whatever #but I guess people use other culture’s symbols like that too so it’s only fair?#idk maybe we should all just stop doing it #sorry to get weird in the tags #anyway this show is great and I’m having a great time #the heart killers #the heart killers the series #my post

#when i say the kageyama parents are my number ones…#I MEAN IT !!!#maybe i’ll pick up writing the fic again idk #i just need some content of shigeo’s parents actually being his parents #like on screen #PLEASE !!! i’m desperate for more of them #when mom says no but dad says yes dynamic for sure #also this comic would have taken place sometime after the mogami arc #poor boy needs the reminder that he’s not alone in the house anymore #and his parents may not fully understand what he’s going through but they’ll be damned if they won’t support their kid in any way they can #no sneaky symbolism in this comic…YET #other than the last frame was supposed to be shigeo’s powers acting up a bit and his parents can Definitely feel something #anyways #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #shigeo kageyama #kageyama parents #mp100 comic

LIKE #OUGHHHHHWJEHQIHSJSBWJXNAJSNNQJZNWHXJWHXJEBXNDUSBJS #AND THE WOLF IMAGERY PLS SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT THAT #IS THERE MORE THAN THE SURFACE? what do I not understand? as im writing this out am thinking: ok its cause dove is a lone wolf #WAITTTT WAIT OMFG AND when she remembers that her mom told her to howl when she was lost… bc wolves actually have family and I’m p sure the #lone wolf thing is a myth… after she realizes that she’s not alone and she can choose to interact #GOD GRAHHHHH IM GOING CRAZY OVER THIS SHOW #other things I’m thinking abt (will maybe make a post abt?)#OUGH YEAH OK dove symbolism: wolf/lone wolf. sunglasses/shielding herself (OUGH AND SHE PICKS UP THAT XTRA LAYER OF DEFENCE WHEN SHE COMES #BACK TO HOMELAND/familiar space… bc she’s vulnerable to her past here…. hrahhh #. also LMFAO when she calls the sheriff a piggy #hrmmmmm aughhh I want to dissect Gilbert and Seamus’s friendship oughhh #ok wait even more on Dove: I want to dig into when she calls Emmy Emmy vs Sizargd (will have to look up the spelling whoops) —was it always #blatant manipulation? how much of it is a reflection of what she is? hrmmmm there’s so much there I think #another Q: why did Emmy call the tech guy Shitpants again at the end? ik there were the stakes I just wanna dig into her character more. why #would she say the shitpants thing instead of manipulating him in other ways? (not saying her was was unreasonable at all lol-j wanna dig #into her character.#OH prob something abt the whole ‘her needing to release her anger’ thing? idk ahh I want to analyze her more

and happy pride to these assholes. it's still june so i can technially still make that joke right

#the nemesis speaks #nemesis art #malevolent podcast #malevolent fanart #god i hate tagging for new fandoms yall scare me. im stopping there #anyway i have too many directors notes for this. ive developed such a vivid image of john in my head #but absolutely nothing for the dude with the actual physical body lol #idk just thinking abt the fact that the trader said ''two appear before me'' implying he could perceive john visually #but it's hard to wrap my head around like. a totally separate body that john doesn't appear consciously aware of himself #so: i think they are generally tied together. like this.#but anyway yeah. tattered/torn piece of something else. shattered crown. open hood implying a face behind it.#(yellow also has/had a mask and an unbroken crown it's symbolic™)#the stains on the cloak are blood btw! since injury/death so consistently brings these two closer together #(and the red symbolically brings the yellow closer to arthur's brown color scheme)#the blood on the CROWN is legally john's though. or. the king's more accurately.#the intact crown on the king himself pierces through the cloak like barbs #this is all a metaphysical representation and not Actual blood ofc but (gestures vaguely) you get it #i'm talking too much whatever it's very late i probably shouldn't even be posting this WHO CARES #tomorrow i will have my proper pc back and not be drawing on an ipad old enough to have a tumblr acct maybe i'll do something better then #fuck it hit post #mv liveblog #<- almost forgot
