#storytelling is fun yall

[chokulit]

hopped on the scooby doo train choo choo

(doodle based on that one image)

also, have some thoughts:

- ok so Fred and Velma were childhood friends and Velma was always interested in the supernatural - she started a mystery solving gig and Fred came along cuz he didn't wanna see her get hurt - she insisted she didn't need help (she's kinda stubborn like that) but she eventually caved and brought Fred along with her - their first client is a girl named Daphne who's CERTAIN that her house is haunted

-theyre suspicious of her at first since she's friends with many of the same ppl that bully them but it turns out she's actually qutie nice and delighted to meet ppl who FINALLY believe her for once

-like there was one time where the bullies called for an investigation and of course Velma agreed to go but all that was waiting for her was a sick prank

-maybe that's why Fred is protective of her idk

-"Velma, you sure about this whole, "crime-solving" thing? I mean, remember what happened last time?"

-"Fred, it's always been my life's dream to do this, why is it that now, you're suddenly being unsupportive?"

-"Velma, you sure about this whole, "crime-solving" thing? I mean, remember what happened last time?"

-"Fred, it's always been my life's dream to do this, why is it that now, you're suddenly being unsupportive?"

-and then Fred gets all sad and tries to walk away as Velma tries to apologize but just as he's about to walk away, they stumble upon a clue that finally puts everything together - they don't often meet since at school Velma is kind of an outcast and Fred does a lot of volunteer work and Daphne has SO many extracurriculars - its why shes suprisingly skilled at many things (maybe she and velma bond over being gifted kids) - she's also very social and is good at getting people on her side but she's not like malicious or anything - is just another skill that she can use to get info out of ppl

-oh yeah she's not with her old friend group anymore cuz Fred and Velma helped her see how toxic they were

- Velma sometimes forgets to eat or go outside or sleep since she's so focused in her studies - oh yeah the first time they met Shaggy they thought he was some zombie or something but turns out he's just some weird dude - has the least interest in the supernatural but thought the idea of it sounded like fun - he's actually pretty mysterious and spooky like they never find out his actual real name and even though he says he goes to the same school as them they can never actually find him there - but he's really nice and funny and gives good advice - but he sometimes says something really ominous and he's like "haha, so anyways, I heard they ran out of ham in the sandwich store—"

the way i keep admiring artists who manage to keep to themselves as private persons and then end up telling my entire life story in the tags. this is beyond funny. borderline pathetic also

THE USOS REUNITE WWE SMACKDOWN (OCTOBER 25, 2024)

Cass + ballet 🩰 (ft. supportive siblings and good dad Bruce)

I love the idea of Cass enjoying dance. It's an outlet that allows her to express herself without words, and I think she would enjoy the highly technical aspect of ballet combined with its storytelling and emotional side. and as a former dancer I always have fun imagining my fav characters do ballet :)

According to the artist, when it was suggested that a smile might benefit the look of the finished portrait, Attaché Nohell reportedly replied, "I thought the purpose of this was to be honest."

Super fun commission of @waterloggedsoliloquy's OC Sicely Nohell (they/them) and their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad lusus figure Commanding Officer.

D&D going mainstream really messed up people's expectations cause chances are you're not gonna find a DM who has the free time, talent and resources to put on a tale that competes with Tolkien. you're gonna find your friend's roommate Phil who's read one of the manuals a few times and has to pause to get a calculator out to figure out how much damage your attack did and his story is blatantly ripping off a dragon age 2 side quest

[dayone-ish]

not gonna tag it but hrrrhhhh the amount of anger in the tag tonight was Not it!

Fuck you *populrizes and drowns your spetical intrest in discorse*

[flo-zoinks]

I love making these it's kind of a problem now

WHAT EACH RDR2 GANG MEMBER WOULD POST ON SOCIAL MEDIA (my opinion)

Dutch - 10 minute tiktok rants about why the USA is failing (normally stitched from a news clip) - with a small cult like following with about 150 likes

Hosea - Outdoor skills teaching videos (hunting and whatnot) with all the comments saying hes like a Father figure

Arthur - Pretty photos of Forest animals on Insta without a caption

Bill - stitching people on tiktok challenging them to fist fights and those "what happened to real men" tiktoks

Javier - Music covers on guitar (very popular)

John - (1899) shitty gaming clips with NO schedule like sometimes 9 months apart

Abigail - get ready with me ranting about her child and husband

Jack - (1907-11) posting videos of his family being stupid without them knowing (80% Uncle and John)

Mary-Beth - Novel bios and links to her online Wattpad

Tilly - cute trends on tt often with her friends (like dances or cool transitions)

Karen - funny ass one-liner captions making fun of things

Miss Grimshaw - Those "Mother how do i" videos in her spare time

Reverend - Bible passages with a 9 minute rant after and then every week an accidental upload whilst shit-faced

Molly - shopping hauls that turn into vents

Strauss - Links to his business (regularly asks the younger members how to use functions and what things mean)

Trelawny - Magic tricks and Dramatic storytelling (everytime in a random place people find funny)

Sean - 20 second rant that's unironically hilarious and gets made into a template

Lenny - Book readings and 5 minute stitches respectfully arguing against the people he doesn't agree with

Charles - Never uploads aside from once a photo of Arthur next to an animal in a really pretty outdoor scenery

Sadie - secret videos of people like Pearson doing something embarrassing (inspired Jack to do the same) and "pranks"

Uncle - going out in public and doing something outrageous that ends in him being arrested (was nudity 9 times)

Micah - thirstraps

Pearson - videos on his wild "adventures" whilst cooking in the backround (the comments bully his food and his adventures)

Kieran - Horse Care videos (fully anonymous and would blur his face on everything). Lots and lots of horse videos

Yall remind me who I forgot

"it's so refreshing when a villain is just evil instead of trying to redeem them" is the equivalent of "it's so refreshing when a story has a fantasy setting instead of sci-fi." a villain describes a variety of roles characters can take in a story. a villain who stays evil throughout the whole story is a different archetype than a villain who has some kind of redemption and they serve different purposes in the story.

making your villains have sympathetic traits or do sympathetic things isn't a writing choice that is inherently good or bad. it's has the potential to be well written or not depending on the execution. it's literally just a personal preference in what kind of story and villain you like and someone writing a trope you dont prefer doesnt automatically mean its objectively bad writing. so for the LOVE OF GOD can we please talk about something more interesting next time.

no by all means keep judging cartoon villains solely by if they get redeemed in the end. i know some of us like to talk about other stuff like characterization or entertainment value or nuance as something that makes a good villain. but i think the only thing that actually matters is if the villain ends up on good terms with the protagonist at the end. all the Good TM cartoons with Good TM creators make the villains die a Horrible Death for being Abusers or whatever. and all the Bad TM cartoons with Bad TM creators Forgive Fascists by not making them get publicly executed by the 14 year old protagonist in front of the 8 year old target demographic.

i mean im so glad that more cartoons nowadays are subverting the psyop to support fascists that a few queer artists and queer shows definitely invented in 2017. there are so many popular cartoons doing that. it's almost like there are more properties killing their villains now and in the past than there ever were of properties that didn't do this. and it's almost like whether the villain gets redeemed at the end is more about the context of the story and its themes leading up to a narratively sound decision.

but you know. a few queer shows made by trans ppl were popular and they didn't kill their fascists and even had the gall to make them nuanced while also looking into the harm they did. guess it's trendy to forgive your abusers now because like two cartoons said so. out of like 40 other similarly high profile works that just straight up hit their villains with a bus or smth. by all means. keep heaping praise onto that one show about how they "let their villain just be evil" instead of talking about anything more interesting. that's so subversive, everyone's doing it!

yall should try digital scrapbooking is really fun to do!

anyway, i suppouse this like some kind of redesign for my old vercion of Nari

when i was first sketching him i didn't really know how i wanted him to be, cause mainly i was just doing it for the funsies and also i was mostly more focused on how i wanted Leonidas to look like.

but some time ago i went to this roadtrip whit my familly and a bunch of ideas just came trough my mind, so i had to do something about it.

so basically what's new?

So in short, this Narinder is a narcissistic bastard who only values people for the value they can give him, and is willing to use anything or anyone to get what he want.

so basically nothing changed, tbh i really like og Nari's character!

if i had to describe his personality, it would be a mix between Tai lung and lord shen from kunfu panda and loki from Marvel's MCU.

i'm not the best at storyteling, but I'm trying to take a more serious path for my AU. I really didn't expect to get so attached to these silly characters as much as I do now, to be honest when I was first creating the AU I didn't have so much of a story in mind. But now I have a clearer vision of what I want to do with it and even more motivation to make more of this. It'll still be very silly but i'll try to make the best out of it, and i hope you like it too!

anyway here are some doodles i made for him
