PLEASE LOOK AT VIKTOR'S FACE

Jayce's hand on Viktor's neck (the thumb on the angle of Viktor's jaw then under his ear...) seems like it's pulling him closer with the arm movement, he looks at Viktor briefly and closes his eyes, clenching his teeth (to brace for impact I guess), and u can see in Viktor's eyes that he watches him do that THEN also closes his eyes and goes for the forehead touch... he trusts him and follows his move...

also this might just be me but Viktor's expression reminds me of the younger Viktor (obviously he does look younger/healthy here anyway on purpose but yk) bc it feels like a sorta ''oh, okay we're doing that now'' moment he used to have with Jayce of following his lead when he had a hunch or something, it feels genuine, earnest and most importantly, trustful.

idk I might just be insane

EDIT : closer version

made a chart of the straw hats' skin tones with the colors being screencapped directly from the episodes, to show how much they've lightened. this is more than just an "artstyle change" or "design evolution" or "just the timeskip" this is blatant racism/colorism. it's fucking ridiculous and i don't understand how toei is continuously getting away with it please reblog btw, i think this is something people should see

This is your protagonist, everyone. This is the man sap that we’re supposed to cheer for.

I don’t think we’ve ever seen you draw knight of dawn before 🤔 what are your thoughts about him? Or take?

I've drawn him a couple of times, just really little/in the background. but I should draw him more, I love this guy a lot! I have many, many thoughts about him and the way he parallels Silver...and also I think it is extremely funny that his ghost is stuck in a ring. especially considering where that ring has been for the last 16-ish years.

learned something about myself lately

drew some of my fav ody designs! wasnt originally meant to be also replicating the styles but thats sort of just how my brain works. except i didnt copy the lineart styles of anyone here so its DEFINITELY a bit uncanny for a couple of these (LOOKING AT YOU QINNY IM SO SORRY) but whatever

the designs featured here (from left to right) belong to: me, @gigizetz, @neal-illustrator, @irunaki, @bigidiotenergytm, @qinnyanimation, and @foopsie-daisy

i think more writers need to sit down and think to themselves "is there anything about this highschool based story that wouldnt work just as well if i set it in university instead" especially in anime like i am SICK of 90% of mainsteam anime being about teenagers. university has classes. it has tests. it has school clubs and sports teams. imo you can get most of the same plotlines in a university and MORE because now your cast have some of the freedom of adulthood, and as a fan it wont be as weird when someone puts horny fanart on your dashboard. no more teenagers. i am protesting against teenagers.

The other thing about Sam being such a teenager - a headcanon that is nonetheless supported by many canon elements - is that her being a baby activist is... not necessarily a good thing.

It's very promising in the long run! It shows that she cares about other people, she cares about ethics, and she is trying very hard to think about her impact on the world, and those are all good things.

But she's also extremely bossy, extremely self-righteous, and when you're a fourteen year old with two best friends that just... aren't very good at asserting themselves, it makes it really, really easy to hurt people by accident. I think, given what we see about Sam and how she interacts with them, it would be easy for her to dismiss them as Boys™️ and therefore The Oppressor Class.

Because Sam... kind of reads like a terminally online Tumblr kid. And that wasn't an archetype that existed in the 2000's, obviously, but Sam fits it to a T. She seems like someone that would know all the terminology, who would know who all the 'oppressor' classes and all the 'victims' were, who would be really into identity politics in the way where she weaponizes them, because she's fourteen and nuance is still hard for her.

She seems, in other words, like someone who would chew Danny out for using the word 'dysphoria' if he wasn't trans (but was maybe trying to find a word for why his body post-portal felt so bad sometimes.) Like she would demand room to express her emotions without remembering to give Tucker and Danny room for theirs, because they're Boys (even though Tucker is black and Danny is abused and getting space for their emotions is just as hard for them.) Like she would have a list of Social Justice Facts that she applies uncritically, and won't realize what she's doing for years.

And to be honest, I think this would be a really fun character arc for Sam! The sort of thing I would have loved to see in canon. Where she realizes, suddenly, how much she talks over people, how much she talks over her friends, and that maybe sometimes she's... not right, even though she knows All The Right Words.

(But until she realizes that, I also think that Sam could do a lot of damage to Danny and his guilt complex in particular.)

I know all of these were due to plagg lol but I’m glad they’re letting my boy be over the top goofy again in his civilian form ‼️

Real Adrien heads know he was always silly lol, but a lot of his little mannerisms and expressions that were more prevalent when rewatching season one got covered up with blank faced Adrien sweetness in later seasons and, while it did help further emphasis the control Gabriel had over him (wink wink), and the thousand yard soft eyes stare is still very Adrien, I’m glad he’s back to letting his goofy ass self shine through!! he is cringe fail like his gf and they are showing it again bless up 🫶

(While we’re on the topic though, I also hope a lot of his sarcasm and wit that he had back then comes back as well! He was a diva in season one let us see that again!!)
