I'm so glad i watched Sk8 the Infinity as an adult and not a teen so I didn't turn into one of those annoying idiots who complain about "renga not being canon because they didn't kiss"
#like shut the fuck up they promised to skate infinitely with each other#under a full moon#look up mise en scene and shut the entire fuck up#as i've grown older i've come to enjoy subtle romance much more than on screen kissing#cuz whenever a couple kisses i'm like woah hey that's a bit graphic innit why don't we tone it down#maybe talk about how beautiful the moon is while not looking at the moon at all idk#i don't need you snogging on screen to know you're in love#that's usually a cheap way to show that anyway#because it's usually straight couples and no one in the industry knows how to show that straight couples like each other#outside of actions that are explicitly associated with romance like kissing sex and love confessions#so give me chemistry over kissing any day#seb watches sk8#do i put this in the main tag?#ehhhhhhhhh#yeah sure why not#sk8 the infinity#renga#they might not even show up because of the wall of ramble tags i've put before them#oh well#also this is not to dunk on my teen mutuals i love y'all#(even though some of you could maybe entertain the idea of private conversations a little more thoroughly)#but i just remember how blind i was to subtext and themes and that sorta stuff as a teen myself

#not art yet. sorta#yeah that's one piece#outing myself this year as a sanji enjoyer#idk what compelled me to come back here (that's a lie I know 100% and it's haterism) but I did finally sit down and put down#this idea I've sat on for a Long time. bc I think I just. finally feel ready for it#or rather. both it and myself have been worn down and moulded enough by just. time passing. to be able to sit with each other in peace#but yeah I'm now neck deep in this (almost halfway thru inking!!) and Im learning a Lot#whatever u say abt one piece oda is a Phenomenal comic artist. one piece art-wise is dense on a level that makes me feel insane#like you barely see more than one type of screentone used and it's mostly to separate planes. its Just Ink. its fucked up#and drawing this comic is forcing me to show up on my a-game on a craft level as well. I love so much a Large part of it so far#comic is good guys. did u guys know that has anyone said this before#but yeah this one will! probably get posted to my main blog when the posting version is done. which is why I said in the prev ask#that the spheres might intersect soon lol#Im aware this is a stupid way to go about it if u look at it from a marketing/advertising angle. but thats not what Im here for#Im showing u cool bugs I made basically. and when the exhibit happens its gonna have mostly nothing to do with this#but yeah. if u see a comic with these caps in it in the future u will Know#otherwise we keep up kayfabe yeah? for fun. for comfort

if you guys dont stop drawing odysseus as a 20 year old clean shaven but slightly tired anime boy im gonna have to put him back on the shelf until we can figure out how to draw wrinkles and a beard
#tbh i dont think drawing him skinny or in an anime style is bad. its just like. when certain factors combine yknow.#on one hand ik its your style on the other hand dude come on that is NAWT odysseus#this is my hot take for christmas day thank you#i will not be that much of a hater to post it in main tags but you can reblog if it rings true in your heart. and if it doesnt ring true#just ignore me#poks office chair#i know its sorta doomed to happen in any fandom w an older male protag people are just gonna make him look younger when they draw him#whatever...#also if you draw him skinny. LEGALLY OBLIGATED to do the thing where he gains weight post getting back to ithaca to show positive growth#thanks

#my art#mission to zyxx#C-53#pleck decksetter#dar mtz#ok time for some of my appearance headcanons#i was just gonna give c little dot eyes but i was goofing around with the doodle#and i was like. oh actually little light up ocular sensors that look like 👁️👁️ are kinda funny#i'm kinda trying to hit the space where the juck bot frame could conceivably have the same inner workings as the c frame#but it's got more like. idk plating and synthetic skin and stuff#i also think that ideally this type of frame is supposed to be more fully covered? with skin. less visible joints#and is supposed to have a cooler better looking face#but they got it at a discount store that sorta refurbished it juuuuuuust well enough to sell#they also mention in the show that the eyes glow and the jaw comes off#if there were any other details i forgot about them#i like tellurians to be Pretty Much Human#but I do like the pointy ears interpretation for one main reason:#i can put perfect little pointy ones on tellurians that are the Standard for good looks (rolphus etc.)#and give pleck ones that are slightly larger and a little bent. i just think that's fun#i'm also a short pleck truther and do not believe he is skinny. that man is at least midsized. actually probably just midsized#cause if he were too big he would be too cool#ohh and first time drawing the k'hekk eye yayyyy. it should probably be nastier but i can only do so much#dar i really imagine round cause it's like the classic Big Guy shape and they have no bones in their head so it can't be that structured#bodywise my design is def inspired by tikkitronictonic and snuffysbox's designs#i was at a total loss on how to interpret the talons and chutes and flaps when I was listening and this is easy and smooth#maybe the only major difference is that i imagine dar is pretty hygienic and furry scales feel like they'd be hard to keep clean#with all the uh. goings on#so i've got those across the chest and arms and then the torso is smoother in my mind#also ik dar is supposed to be like twice pleck's size but it's hard to stand these people next to each other#my brother said they made up a thing called mass shifting in transformers g1 to excuse the scale issues. so i'll do it too. get off my case

Runaway Narinder aus are a rlly fun concept but I’m surprised I haven’t seen one where Lamb just doesn’t particularly care that he’s gone.
Usually the Lamb is like obsessed with Narinder and doesn’t let him leave and when he does they try to find him again and bring him back to the cult ( and I’m not rlly any different bc with my other lamb Maveths main canon he is actively searching for Narinder after his escape )
#might make it like a side au/scenario for Solanges verse#tbh idk why Narinder doesn’t just up and leave in the main canon of it#bc Solanges not stopping him#i wanna say it’s to spite her at first and then he just doesn’t have any motivation to after getting worn down#anyways I’ll call it Narinders Grand Adventure#I already hc that Narinder has threatened to leave Solanges flock on a couple occasions#and she’s like: lol ok then#and then Narinder doesn’t leave bc he refuses to give her the satisfaction#so in this au he threatens to leave and Solange responds with: you keep saying that but you never do bc you’re a pussy#and Narinder doubles down and like actually leaves when Solange goes to the lonely shack to hang out with ratau and co#Solange comes back and is like: where the fuck is Nari?#and one of her followers ( Probably Ellena ) is like: oh he left#and Solange is like: wait fr?#and for like a split second she debates on bringing him back#but dismisses the thought and just carries on with her life/duties#this all happens before she meets mystic seller btw#as for the bishops I think she kinda does what she does in the main canon#or she just takes Shamura in ( in this au she does the purgatory releases in order of when she fought them )#both bc she wants closure#and bc of their condition#she already feels sorta shitty for leaving the other bishops behind ( or at the very least leaving leshy to fend for himself )#but she knows that if she left Shamura to fend for themselves she’d feel really guilty despite her not liking the bishops#like with the others she can justify it with that their conditions wouldn’t fully impact their ability to survive ( except for Leshy )#but Shamura is a different case to her#idk if it rlly matters bc like a solid chunk of the au would just be Narinder fending for himself and other shenanigans#cosmic chatz#cult of the lamb

Its pretty easy to tell if Heart or Mind are gaving s nightmare.
For Heart, he usually starts mumbling or muttering in his sleep, stratching as his chest or arms. He also looks extremely upset, usually.
For Mind, his breathing gets exponentially faster, and usually he starts shaking. He usually starts to grab at whatever’s closest to him.
Somehow, they both can just… recognize when each other is having a nightmare. They just know, even when the signs aren’t obvious. Especially when the nightmare is more like a flashback than anything else. They usually wake the other up and wait until they’ve both calmed down before going back to sleep.
oh yeah and then soul is just there LMAO- he does have a similar nightmare-radar instinct to heart and mind though.
Headcanon #381
#chonny jash#submission#cj mind#cj heart#cj soul#chonnys charming chaos compendium#for soul i can see him [when sleeping normally] moving around a lot#mainly kicking his legs p roughly. like if hes sleeping next to somethin solid he might even bruise his legs a bit [personal experience lol]#but if hes having a nightmare hes oddly very stiff & doesnt move. at most hes more curled up into a ball sorta#also depending on the nightmare he either wakes up very groggily or quickley shooting up#also extra mini headcanon for Soul is that he cant dream or have nightmares at all. at most hes just silently in a void as he sleeps#maybe the only time he can is once theyre all whole or at least about to be#would be a bit ironic considering hes the main one that sings Dream too lol#might make a separate post for that eventually idk#either way I like these dream ideas anon very neat

#not art (yet!!!!)#preddy good kristen I got goin on in this piece#for some reason my brain isnt letting me do this one. been stalling on it for a good few days. but I intend to break thru it#I need to put this on paper at least once#(its space sweepers. I think it would be funny if the kids are in that universe too but theyre just like off to the side doing their own#thing pretty much unrelated to the main plot. theyre delivery people. theyre all still teens. they get up to shenanigans and then#one day they look up like huh the guy who founded eden fucking died?? when#kristen specifically I got a decent amount hashed out in my brain somehow. she's like an engineered messiah with a grafted engine#along her upper body skeleton that'd let her spontaneously rearrange objects on a molecular level#so she can theoretically knit wounds or cure diseases by thinking abt it very hard#sadly the engine of course takes enormous amount of energy to power. so most of the time in practice she just#has a half-metal skeleton that doesn't do anything. so she's buff as shit on the upper side and one of her punches can break your neck#but her mobility is limited and she sprains her ankles like every other week. her shins have broken like a few times#I genuinely love the way her shoes n braces look in this one its very fun#there are a lot of choices I made in this one that are so fun and also just like. a result of putting them in space sweepers#and thinking to myself here and there hey this would be cool if it harkens back to their canon designs#not riz tho other than being human he is fully exactly like how he looks in canon. hes just like that#hes the navigator and he charts their courses by hand with a school calculator#(also technically their legal counselor since he's sorta responsible for not putting them in traffic control's hands)#drawing this does make me realise a lot of these dynamics are really fun lol. idk if Im gonna ever do anything like proper for this but#at the very least if I draw this the idea will be out there)

Your tags on the sacrificial virgin post make me want to know everything about your OCs, especially this Ivy Rose! What's Ivy Rose like? What story holds them?
ok so! Ivy Rose Lohaun is from my story Red Eyes Take Warning, which is..... a lot. it's actually an in-universe comic series in my Eldritchverse setting, and it starts out as a parody of those generic isekai mangas, before gettting Weird as the author is unknowingly long-term exposed to eldritch horrors a little bit.
I don't have any proper art of Ivy Rose but here's what I do have... most of the RETW characters were inspired by ai gen images (*BACK WHEN AI WAS A WEIRD EXPERIMENTAL TYPEA THING) so this is his
and also this is an Arknights au version of him (he is not normally snakeboy)
and I am still sort of figuring out his lore but what I've currently got is that he inherited some sorta really rare special powers (according to my notes he is a witch, something different from mages. but I think I'm going to make it specialer than just that) and there is some sort of curse or prophecy on his family, that anyone born with those powers will die in some circumstances, and trying to evade this always results in things going really bad (possibly involving said powers?) but the curse/prophecy/whatever is vague enough that when he transes his gender, it manages to fulfill the prophecy / neutralize the curse / whatever.
anyway most of that is kind of just background lore, his actual role in the story is that. he starts out as a 'girl' in disguise as a guy (he is closeted/eggmode at this point) and under the name Lohaun he joins Gavin's party (Gavin is the classic isekai hero guy. he's also just a massive jerk) to go adventuring and stuff and also to get away from the gilded cage of richgirl life. then he gets 'found out' as a girl (this is a trope that happens sometimes where the 'crossdressing' character gets found out and then goes back to their 'real' gender like they're fine with it. I don't like this trope very much so he's like a deconstruction or subversion or smth of it.) and briefly tries just going back to girlhood, before deciding that, actually, he'd rather be a guy. so he tries out a couple different combinations of gender terms + presentations, before eventually settling on using he/they, presenting femininely, and using his firstnames and his surname interchangeably. Gavin, being the asshole he is, at first is disappointed by Lohaun deciding to identify as a boy (because the rest* of the party is sort of harem-adjacent, as tends to happen in these isekais)but then they're like "well I'm still pretty and here so does my gender really matter that much" (they don't want him to ditch them) and so he's like "alright I guess I'm 'straight with an exception' now"
*that is, the rest of the party except for 1. Emery (too beefy for Gavin's tastes, as well as too aroace and autistic to fawn over some asshole guy) and 2. Enzo/Elodie (it is 10 years old.)
#psii.txt#asks#my ocs#RETW#Ivy Rose#Ivy Rose Lohaun#tundra-tiger#tysm for the ask!! haven't got to infodump like this abt my guys in a while#haven't yet decided where exactly ivyrose goes after the party splits up post gavins death#maybe he finds some sorta mentor figure? idk yet#also if you wanna know more abt any of these other guys feel free to send an ask! I always love talking about my silly lil guys#(yes i tend to forger when i get oc asks. but i do my best)#also. just for the record. cannot emphasize enough how much that gavin is a MASSIVE JERK#he thinks he's hot shit but he is the kind of guy who would badly beat up a ten year old if he was told they were a demon#sorry did i say would...if? I meant does...when#and unlike SOME main characters of SOME isekai mangas (cough cough the abandoned reincarnated sage. im STILL mad abt that one)#the narrative does not forgive him#not for beating up enzel not for the shit he pulls on emery and not for wanting lohaun to recloset himself#he is not the real protagonist of the story. he only thinks he is

the absence of horatios in hamlet adaptations somehow feels gayer than their presence
#like you feel the presence of this One Guy will distract from the core of what you’re doing here and delegitimise the relationship between#hamlet and ophelia#i agree that that shouldn’t be the main theme but also his absence is loud and unless a production works really hard at it#it’s a noticeable decision that can lead to a work feeling less complex than it could be#because unless you’re doing something interesting with his absence#anyone who’s engaging with the work is just going to be like oh they took away a whole figure within the story huh wonder what they’re#going to do with its absence#and too often the answer is sorta nothing?#besides increased political commentary#which is great but also you’re just like why couldn’t you do that and have this figure here#and the best answer I can think of is that there are gay implications#which is. something#give hamlet weird little buddies 2k24#love increased Ophelia time but it’s hard to be like woah their relationship is so asymmetrical (which these productions have been angling#for) when seemingly this is the relationship hamlet pours the whole of himself into with only brief moments of disrespect that are weird#when that’s not played right#it feels disconcordant#aargh

Loose thoughts/somewhat of a messy personal analysis Year One Scarecrow bc my god it's been eating at my brain cells, but also I find it a little bizarre that I can't find a single analysis of the comic available??? So uhh strap in bois it's unstructured yapping time B')
Oh yea just to preface: I've not read any of the other Year One comics yet? I have no clue if the others are actually connected?? While reading this tho, everything felt like it was a standalone comic so I'm looking at it as such
Parallels between Crane and Bruce: Two of the most important things to both Scarecrow and Batman throughout the story are their usage of fear and control. Both using it as means for vengeance. When either happen to lack control, they may get more aggressive. For Bruce it could be lashing out more than usual at criminals, while for Crane it's smashing a table out of spontaneous anger. What differentiates the two however is that for Crane, fear and control are meant to punish those he felt have personally hurt him- a method taught and learnt through the abuse he received from his Grandmother.
For Bruce, his entire original intent in becoming Batman was to help others, and he uses intimidation/punishment as a tool to achieve that goal. Lamar in ways serves as proof of the effectiveness within the story that it has indeed worked. Bruce throughout the story however, can't realize that difference until the moment he finally meets Crane, and finally confirms the killer's "insanity". It becomes a major internal obstacle for him, and an insecurity that weighs heavily on his mind. (I mean imagine hunting a serial killer and slowly noticing how similar the two of you are,, I don't think it'd weigh lightly on anyone's conscience, let alone Bruce Wayne's of all people ksdfs- In ways it's also really similar to Arkhamverse's and the adjacent A Serious House on Serious Earth's Joker? With how they try and "prove" that Batman is just as insane as they are by attempting to repeatedly break him?)
Robin: Grayson as Robin throughout the story serves as a person to ground Bruce when he begins to start silently spiraling- questioning him, but never actually holding him back. I just really like how Grayson and Bruce's relationship is written within this comic. They're really close and crack jokes with each other, but it's revealed Grayson's been silently harboring internal fears of Bruce/Batman for a while. All completely unknown to Bruce until Dick's struck by the fear toxin. Throughout the story, Grayson sees Bruce's tactics and it's pretty clear both visually and through text that he seems to disapprove? Yet even then, he can't seem to bring himself to outwardly stop Bruce, supposedly out of fear? Despite that tho, Grayson still clearly cares about Bruce and tries to help him out, as seen in that discussion between the two where Bruce starts having his insecurities get to him again. (Also the way Dick is written here really reminds me of my boi Timbo from TNBA, and my favourite episode where he has to stop Bruce after he got dosed by Scarecrow's no fear toxin kdfkd- I think I'm just biased towards stories where robin isn't afraid to sass/take down Batman when needed??)
guhgh.. the way Bruce hesitates while asking Grayson if he's afraid of him...........
The final portion of the story is where it breaks down for me however, because I can't tell what exactly certain scenes are trying to convey? Which is why I'm also kinda making this post, bc I haven't found any other analysis of this comic that explains it/ this comic at all????? (Please if someone else reads the comic and gets it, tell me bc I'm,, just confused??? and I can't seem to find anything on this comic????)
Post-Bruce finding out Grayson fears him somewhat in a "god-fearing kinda way", I don't get why he becomes so aggressive with robin? Perhaps it's because he already had a plan in motion to catch Scarecrow and didn't want Grayson to interfere?? But then why not tell him the plan if that's the case???? And what's up with Bruce pinching Grayson's neck?? or the pinch paralleling the next domestic abuse panel? (My best guess is that it's meant to be a transition??? But if that's the case, I dunno odd choice imo)
And my final bit of confusion is why the fear toxin still affected Batman briefly if he made it so that it would work "specifically and only for scarecrows"???? Because that couldn't have just been a pretend fake-out if we see Bruce hallucinating his parents right?????
Overall tho, love this comic's story and art- Sean Murphy's angular, straight-edge, grittier, yet dynamic artstyle lends itself to the story so damn perfectly it's wonderful- Not gonna delve into it, but the visual parallels between the flock of crows and bats, and both Bruce and Crane reaching for the book were so cool to me dkfkd,, or the way Murphy's artstyle conveys Batman's brutality when taking people out mghhfghgj- Always a massive fan of these short story/series comics
#might have missed some stuff but uh ya- my interpretation of the comic that's been eating at my brain#seriously tho pls if anyone can explain to me the pinch thing and the Crime Alley hallucination thing tell meee..#ohh for there to be a Batman movie to be completely horror themed with Scarecrow as the main villain...............#i think i just like batman themed atmospheric horror actually... ik im being annoying by talking about it for the millionth time#but godd Arkham Asylum's atmospheric horror i love that game so much#year one scarecrow#scarecrow#dc scarecrow#dc comics#long text#really long rambling.. i like yapping about this sorta stuff alr..... let me live a little.......#ignore my goofy ass grammar mistakes i cant englishhhhh..... also sleepy as hell
