Jason Todd x Marinette Dupain-Cheng Moodboard

*PICTURES ARE NOT MINE BUT THE EDITS ARE*

Inspired by The Protection Racket by @newdog14 on ao3

Thanks to @the-coffee-fandom for providing a second opinion💜

The Red Hood image is from RED HOOD: OUTLAWS Volume 2: Prince of Gotham (my absolute favouritest look, aka Iceberg Lounge Jason my love😍)

KING'S LANDING, 111 AC.

* ᶦ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵏ ᵗʰᵉ ᵃᵖᵖˡᵉ'ˢ ʳᵒᵗᵗᵉⁿ ʳᶦᵍʰᵗ ᵗᵒ ᵗʰᵉ ᶜᵒʳᵉ. . .

feeble and foolish, the old king refused to change the succession. he didn't even see how his court had split into two rival camps:

𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌𝒔 & 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒏𝒔. 𓆰♨𓆪 + 𓆰♖𓆪.〃

🖤🤎❤️🧡💛💚💙💜!! A set of stars, connected to form a Pride constellation 🌟

As we're nearing the end of Pride Month, I wanted to finish up an illustration that really said Space be Gay- in a fun subtle way. We've been so humbled by the kind words Lunar Boy has gotten, so here's our way of celebrating! Get your own copy of my graphic novel here, or check out your local library or bookstore!

[n14-4cko]

I can’t think of many examples but I ADORE the trope of “I hate you, you hate me, but! We both FUCKING DESPISE this other guy” and then the first two just forget their previous hatred, become besties and just beat the hell out of the third guy due to mutual hatred

The Highwayman

"I don't respect the law, Jimmy. But I think I respect you."

thoughts and a look inside the design of the book under the cut!

okay so I've been sitting on this cover of @envelopedbyoblivion's The Highwayman for months. It's a rancher duo fic where Jimmy is a sheriff and Tango is a bandit (and so much more)! Go read it if you haven't it's so so good I promise

This was initially a passion project for my portfolio meant to be printed into a real book, but I couldn't keep up with deadlines and I ended up not being able to use it :(

However, the whole book is formatted for print (which took so many months oh my god). I'm hoping one day I can actually get it printed because it's one of my favorite fanfics of all time and I'd kill to have a physical copy.

I also got to work with them to create this whole thing. Formatting books is so much work and they were so nice and patient with me ;;; Thank you for trusting me and allowing me to do this and for creating this amazing story :] <3

if anyone is curious about my design choices I'd be more than willing to ramble about them. I spent way too long on everything from fonts to the page dividers

The World of Fumito Ueda - How was the game without words born? Published by Kadokawa, 2023

Perhaps the single most important book ever published on the subject of Fumito Ueda's creations, its release has sufficient hiatus from the last game featured to constitute a proper anthology. The pictorial content is unmatched as these few captures alone may demonstrate.

That it is an indispensable addition to the library of any self-respecting team ICO/Gen Design aficionado, it goes without saying.

If my arguments fail to convince, please preview the first pages of the book at the publisher's website.

Maribat Ships and My Vibe Explanations

These are based on the most popular tropes and scenarios I've seen particularly for a specific ship, but some are my own vision:) Moodboards I made for each ship, which are partially inspired by the below thoughts, are linked in the ship name.

Brucinette:

Boss x Secretary trope or Socialite meets Other Socialite and Both Discover each other is Less Shallow than they Thought

Alternatively,

Hero x Villain Love story.

Look, we all know Bruce has a bad track record with his Rogues and also Love in general

Black Cat Mari is the most popular, probably, but I think we should see more Villain/ Morally Grey Mari with other Miraculi

Not my favourite ship but it can be fun

Particularly when we add Dad Bruce and Mari gets to adopt the Batkids and be a Cool MomTM.

Dickinette:

Often a Villain x Hero romance, usually Black Cat Marinette and Nightwing.

A good trope to be sure, but I think we should spice it up more.

Vampire Dick Truthers (you know who you are) have a point with their Vampire Dick and Mari fics. Why not make Dick the villain in Mari's Rogue Gallery???

Overall a great trope, especially if you really delve into their characters: both are 'sunshine' characters who fight everyday to be the nice, kind heroes everyone thinks they are and expects them to be, even though it's the hardest route to take.

Jasonette:

(I'm biased as it's my #1 Maribat ship, but I'll try not to go on too long >.<)

Villain x Hero? Hero x Hero? Amazing, outstanding. What about Villain x Villain? I myself would love to see more Rogue Jason and Rogue Mari fics.

Any AU is amazing. I admit to having a fondness for Mob Boss Jason, partly because he is one in canon, at least for a while, and because I'm addicted to dark/mafia romance novels. Lieutenant Mari? Yes, please. Rival Mob Boss Mari? Heck yeah! Bat-affiliate Mari? Gimme. Please.

The amount of character exploration you could do if you wrote a romance where they actually stayed together, looking at you, DC is intriguing. Would Jason change for someone he loved? Would he give up crime lording? Would Mari accept him anyways but then they'd have to deal with one half running from the law/vigilantes and the other half being on the vigilantes' side?

Also, soft Jason. Nerding out over books and music and fashion and appreciating the fine things in life and meeting this cute fashion designer with a penchant to listen to Jagged Stone-

So many AU opportunities!! Bakery AU! Mafia AU! Coffee Shop AU! Meetcute at the Museum AU!...

Okay I'll move on now:(

Timari:

LISTEN

This ship IS THE DEFINITION OF THE CEO X SECRETARY TROPE!

I need more, I don't care if it's overused

Also, rival hackers or geniuses.

OR COFFEE SHOP AU

They're both coffee monsters, it's perfect

No I don't care that there are two dozen coffee shop Timari AUs, give me more.

Daminette:

ACADEMIC RIVALS TO LOVERS

Or just rivals to lovers is fine too

YOU REALLY THINK THESE TWO 'MUST BE THE TOP IN CLASS' WOULDN'T BE FIGHTING OVER GRADES AND THEN PAIRED UP ON AN ASSIGNMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO INTENSE TO WORK WITH ANYONE ELSE AND THEN THEY HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER AT ALL TIMES LEST THE OTHER SABOTAGE THEIR PROJECT AND THEN THEY FALL IN LOVE-

anyways

I'm not even into HP but I want a Hogwarts AU with these two-

or any dark academia rivals to lovers au

Roynette:

Enemies or Rivals to Lovers

It's just a simple misunderstanding, as all large rifts start off with.

There's a translation issue or an eavesdropping that is taken out of context

(they're both idiots your honour)

But then something happens and they have to work together or they're made to talk and they realize it's all just a misunderstanding

And then they're like... " while we're clearing the air...so uh, I kinda have a crush on you'

"no way, me too!!"

And Mari meets Lian (or maybe that's what starts this, Jason and Mari are hanging out babysitting Lian and Roy comes to pick Lian up and they start talking and and and-)

And Mari loves Lian immediately of course, who wouldn't?

And so Roy likes her more because she likes Lian so automatically she's not as bad as he thought, and Lian really likes her too

And then they fall in love and Jason and Lian are the master matchmakers behind the scenes

You can pry OTP Jason & Lian setting up Roynette out of my cold dead hands

Konette:

I haven't seen or read a ton of Konette, but they usually meet at the Titans

Friends to Lovers 100%

They're both quiet and new and feeling out the dynamics

so they're often pushed together on purpose or by accident because the others are just so loud and chaotic

And then they become BFFs and are less inclined to join the others' chaos and so spend more time together, and so the cycle continues

And then one day something happens

Kon is Kryptonian and Mari had the Miraculous, they're usually the least-damaged members, but something happens, there's Kryptonite or magic or Something and one or both gets hurt.

The other jumps in front of them to take the blow because they can't let the other get hurt

"Why did you do that?!"

"I couldn't let you get hurt. You need to save our teammates."

Then the hurt one faints or passes out and the other confesses and thinks they can't hear them

They get back to the Tower safely and get treated and wake up and then they see the other

"Did you say you loved me, when I was passed out?"

"You heard that? Uh...yeah, I love you."

"I love you too!"

I haven't read much of any of the other ships to get a good feel on them, so I'm stopping here:)

[ibloodstone]

I watched House of the Dragon and there are a lot of disappointments, but I want to say WHAT DID YOU DO WITH ALISENT, I didn't plan to draw her, it was just a sketch, but it reminded me of her

[atticcreationz]

As someone who is VERY fascinated with adaptation in film (who spent quuuuuuite some time back in college obsessing over it for assignments) and who adores the graphic novel, my biggest takeaway from Nimona is that it is an EXCELLENT adaptation. Especially considering how much that production went through! Like, all of the changes and things they expanded on made sense for the transition from book to movie. My second takeaway is that I love it <3 Please go watch it I beg of you 🙏

[jangmi-latte]

i think i'm late to this but do you have any up close pics of kalim's beta design(s)?? i crave him but the most i've seen is extremely blurry photos ;(

hi babycakes! if you're talking about the concept art then i, unfortunately, don't have them :(( they're not featured in the design books nor magical archives either and they're only featured during the twst exhibition back in 2022. afaik they're not allowed to be that close to the exhibits when taking photographs. this is the clearest i got of kalim's old design:

he was supposed to have dark hair and i think he wasn't supposed to be the kalim we know today.

his design note only had this. no scratched or redesigns of his event outfits :(( it was mostly jamil:

although if other people have any other sources, feel free to share them here! you can also ask @/yuurei20 or @/twiwoncrackpopcorn! afaik they'll be releasing more design notes and archives in the future so we can watch out for that <3
