Was pondering how Mark’s rigid ass mask/lens is prob a Budget Thing (since squishy, bendy lens are pretty much a mandate for all hero animated series, like JL, BTAS, TNBA, Spider-Man, etc), and then I was slapped with a vision of Mark in a more JL/BTAS-ish style and I had to see it through. I am a genius btw.
#i had MANY thoughts while drawing my brain melted while posting so if ya have questions send 'em / ask 'em#but rapid fire: leans more into nightwing's look b/c bro's name is legit grayson + moves away from his father's sidekick/protege +#and legit has a blue and black outfit. that is soooo winking at robin (dick grayson specifically)#mark has a more casual / athletic fit and tried to keep his usual kicked puppy expression / mood#which then contrasts his more emotional (hero) side he acts upon when he's suited up as ANOTHER wink to the whole dual persona#mark does it unintentionally as he's eager to prove himself as invincible and thus more emotional/confidential/eager + feels lackluster#as just mark grayson.#but it's such a comic book trope it's interesting el show ignores the potential stakes for that + prob cause they dont focus on#villains#mark has debbie's cheek bones + pearls both so he skip the whole copy paste design tactic cartoons annoyingly use + wink at batman w/ pearl#nolan wears pink and debbie wears green b/c they have conflicting views on raising Mark but (used to?) stand on a somewhat#united front by having same collared shirt. but mark leans more on debbie's stuff visually w/ cooler colors + white shirt underneath#mark keeps his cape as another wink/nod at robins (tim drake TNBS specifically) which mimics his Dad + kid-like eagerness for hero stuff#which he gets rid off when he goes blue/black suit arc (cough cough nightwing looking ass) so just leaned MORE into it#mark has a heart on his chest because he's TRYING to do what he think he's best + emotional asf#lens/goggles are diff to keep the audiences' eye back at HIS eyes + look more ominous and predatory which the black/blue combo#already COULD do in canon but in show its just pallete swapped which ruins the more ominious look it probably intended#and doesnt really scream “OH NO! THERE'S NO GOLD! WHICH could be a marker of mark's joy vanishing!!!”#but i hope it does now but ALSO having design changes#the brainrotsreal's art tag ✧˖°:*♡#invincible rotating in my mind#mark grayson#invincible fanart#invincible#fanart#digital art#procreate art#i wish the style leaned more this way since it is messing with or TRYING to mess with some superhero tropes before it does its own thing#just straight up use nostalgia bait while it has his JL knock off#artists on tumblr

turns out the only effective way to get me to draw tav is by also drawing other durges
ingo belongs to me; du drow belongs to @meanbossart; devlin belongs to @ejoym
#bg3#du drow#homemade#ingo#durge devlin#hi everyone i am back with my classic tactic: draw the same guys over and over#meanbossart#ejoym

So basically in reverse mecha au Swerve is the first person on Earth who can date his favorite character? The happiest man alive
.....I just had a funniest idea omg
HEAR ME ahahahHEAR ME OUT
It's a reverse au right? So what if we let Blurr accidentally discover Swerve? What if Blurr is the one to somehow catch the weird signal through fucked up space bridge or something?
Basically.
Swerve is lonely until a giant alien robot joins his minecraft world or something
Just fucking imagine
The dude makes first contact with another alien race by pressing Shift repeatedly
#basically#fanboying over Blurr was already Swerve's thing tle last time#what if this time he gets to know Blurr first AND THEN starts fanboying ahahah#this doesn't have to be minecraft btw#but I want them to play something that doesn't require a lot of talking#and then start talking in the process because they're two yappers who can't shut up#reverse mecha au#they should play shooters together#and then fight aliens in the real world using the same tactics lol#damn we can make Swerve a pilot#he already was a generic guy he can be generic guy in a mecha for a change

i just feel like someone should take one for the team and write the fanfic where miss homotron goes to dragonstone on foot, meets her situationship’s new lover, and immediately goes like blind with jealousy and fury (rhaenyra, as always when alicent’s near, looks and behaves like a very confused kicked puppy)
i just need homotron and saphotron to meet, so the real war can begin


#alicent’s already felt the shift in the winds and she took that shit hard#now that she has touched grass and connected with mother nature she’s ready to get her woman back#but not before she like screams at her for like a week straight#like i want unhinged#like not even mysaria knows how to react cause homotron is so deranged she might self-implode at any moment and take them all with her#in fact it seems like that would be the preferred out come for the woman#and rhaenyra is so pathetic she cannot get a word in (the same woman that walks to the dragon pit and commands the largest dragon to serve#but then Alicent’s there and mysaria is pretty sure that the targaryen queen is a moment’s away from bending the knee#really puts in perspective the green’s previous tactics when they possessed the biggest threat to rhaenyra to date#it doesn’t seem like Alicent wants to destroy rhaenyra though it seems like she just wants to yell at her a bunch#rhaenyra is like ‘she is helping me win this war!’ and alicent’s like OKAY CHEATER#mysaria is not sure if she should bolt or get some popcorn#jace is having an aneurysm#rhaenicent#hotd#house of the dragon#rhaenyra x alicent#rhaenyra targaryen#alicent hightower#mysaria

i dont know how 2 say this but as much as i hate dream stans i feel like a lot of them r being indirectly manipulated by dream (esp w the questionable parasocial relationship hes curated) and r probably having a difficult time finding out of that situation bc they think everyone else is so hostile against them. which i mean of course people would be, a lot of them speak nonsense, but as someone who had a hard time getting out of that dream stan mindset in 2022 i think. well i dont have the greatest solution in mind but just leave them alone. dont bait them and especially dont shit on them directly, bc the moment they see that a non-dream fan is hostile to them they just revert back to talking to their echo chamber (it sounds very cultish i know). not saying theyre not wrongins but i think calling dream out specifically on ur own with correct facts and belittling him is a better strategy as it does help incite dream stans to be more critical abt the situation on their own. it's not our responsibility to change them but also they gotta get out of there
#dream situation#i still hate them. but i feel so bad for them. bc i realize dream uses the same manipulation tactics to get fans on his side#if i worded this poorly feel free to correct me. i just feel so much pity for these ppl and just want them to get out

Thinking again about this common theme of like, Franziska being less of a "genius" than Miles. When like objectively it's just untrue! I mean she became a prosecutor when she was only 13 (in the same year Miles became one at 20), she only had wins up until Phoenix (just like Miles or her father) and she still feels like she's lagging behind, like she's not catching up. And no one disputes this! No one even tries to make her feel this isn't the case. I'm going to explode.
#and of course the answer is misogyny! people don't treat her like miles even though she is objectively more successful than him#its the same reason she has her whip the same reason she tries to emulate her fathers tactics but no one ever takes her seriously#they don't treat her with as much respect they talk down to her#even her own father seems to prefer her new brother because as a man he can emulate him better#sorry this is not particularly insightful lol i just needed to get this out of my system#ace attorney#franziska von karma

i think ive expressed this sentiment before but i love chapter titles so much. i love chapter titles that follow a naming scheme. i love really long chapter titles that start with "in which". i love chapter titles that just plainly state something that sounds unremarkable & you can't tell why it's important until you read the chapter. i love chapter titles.
#tin kitchen in the garret#currently getting genuinely excited over titling chapters stuff like 'The Soup Incident' and 'The Company Bowling Party' lmao#in this fic i have just barely started drafting#it's about the vibe. we are going for like... idk what to call it. corporate sameness?#but ALSO theyre interesting because you go 'why is this important'#to find out you must read on...#unrelated to my thing but i have to mention some good chapter titles from books ive read here#the left hand of darkness has a couple really good ones#A Parade in Erhenrang. and Between Drumner and Dremegole#although i always say it Dremnegole in my head. thats what i thought it was until just now#Tactical Cactupi is a good one. thats from the mysterious benedict society#oh little women has some good ones too#Beth Finds the Palace Beautiful. i like that it's sort of poetic#oh and 'Amy's Valley of Humiliation' lmao. the very next one#im just pulling books off my shelf and looking at them now lol. a disappointing number of them have no chapter titles#I Coriander has some good ones actually. mostly theyre good as a set but theres one just called Toothmarks#i should reread that actually. weird book#a study in scarlet has some good expressive chapter titles

YOOOO DEMA YOU LIKE ARCANE???!! omg who's your favorite character??? and favorite moment(s) from s1??? (and fav ship too 👀 👀) will you draw for Arcane in the future???? (peak show with peak art =perfection, just saying)
Anon, you have the. Best. Timing. Ever. I literally just finished an Arcane artstyle study with Katara of the Undercity as a subject!

My favorite Arcane character is and forever shall be Ekko (best boy). Other faves are Viktor (chronic illness baby) and Jinx (trauma gremlin).
As for the S1 scene... Besides the finale and that breathtaking Guns for Hire sequence? The Ekko/Jinx fight from ep 7. It broke me. (And turned me into a Timebomb shipper. Which was arguably worse.)
#dema answers#atla#avatar the last airbender#atla fanart#katara#atla art#arcane fanart#arcane netflix#arcane#atla katara#katara fanart#katara of the southern water tribe#Except here it's#Katara of the Undercity#Because I say so#And because an Arcane AU would be so fun to think about#arcane au#Katara and Sokka would be from the Undercity. Which has pretty intense connotations when you realize that means Kya was killed by Enforcers#But I digress#Sokka is an engineering genius whose dream is to study at the Academy and change science as we know it. At the same time he's a pragmatist.#He knows that's all they ever will be: dreams. So instead of chasing useless wishes he focuses on using his talents to help his community.#Katara is all about the social cause. She's a natural leader who would do anything to help those in need. Which gets her in trouble often.#She would never cross the line like Jet and so many of their fellow Zaunites do—she wants peace and prosperity for her people.#But that doesn't mean she's afraid of having to fight for their rights. On the contrary.#I think she and Sokka would create some Firelights-esque community. They bring people together and care for them.#Even weird tattooed kids with an odd connection to the Arcane itself.#Zuko is a former Heir from Piltover. His father holds a seat in the Council and is not afraid of underhanded tactics to gain more power.#Ozai banished Zuko from his home with the condition that he could return only if he brought an end to a rebellion in the Undercity...#...and got rid of an object of great power that would only bring destruction upon his people.#(But nobody ever told Enforcer Zuko that this supposed great weapon that the people of the Undercity stole...was a kid.)

I do really like how TOH deals with abuse with the framework they have. Even though Hunter doesn't think he's being abused, he has a few recited reasons why he doesn't leave: I can't survive on my own, nobody wants me because I'm broken, he's actually so nice to take care of me, he's the only person who understands me, Belos needs me there or something bad will happen, I don't want him to be hurt.
Since Hunter can't leave, there's a second level of thoughts he has through the show justifying his own abuse: I'm going to be replaced because I'm not good enough, I'm stupid, it's my fault that I got hit, the Titan chose me, I am hurting Belos by being broken, this is funny/ a joke, I have to do this for Belos otherwise Bad Thing.
In the realization part of Hunter's arc he starts reconsidering some of his thoughts. Steve brings up the time they were abandoned in a blizzard and Hunter dismisses it as being funny at first. He realizes it wasn't actually funny/ having your consent taken away is serious (just because it happened to Hunter by somebody he loved doesn't mean its ok). He later doubles down on the excuses until he has no way to justify it anymore and he realizes he's being abused. After the realization, Hunter refuses help and temporarily becomes homeless / has to deal with the reality of leaving his situation but finds out that a lot of the beliefs he had weren't real. Gus gives him his own lunch despite mistrusting him. Darius also contacts him and gives him a new mission to protect Luz. Hunter rebuilds his self worth slowly, and gets new hobbies and interests but occasionally relapses / still thinks he's broken and needs to hide / doesn't trust his friends. Then he has. a huge relapse because. obviously. Belos comes back and a lot of Hunter's fears get worse / he thinks he's crazy / he isolates himself and then loses his bodily autonomy and he has to combat his lack of self worth and his fears in order to even try to get out of it, knowing that it'll get him killed. And his support network is there for him, and it's . awful and devastating but they show the fuck up!!! And I. really like the ending of (this aspect) of his arc because like yeah you WILL find people who care about you no matter what your secrets/past is bc literally nobody cared when Hunter's secret got outed, they cared much more about his safety!! The ending is also sweet because Hunter is a pretty tragic character who ends up having their last bits of time on screen being silly with his adoptive family + support network like the reasons Hunter couldn't leave were real in some aspects but they were greatly exaggerated like. yeah he was homeless. being homeless isn't something to be ashamed of, its just a thing that happens to people. It is awful for him and traumatic and difficult to address but (most) people around him care about his safety regardless. Yea.
#the owl house#toh#hunter deamonne#tw abuse#sorry i'm insane actually i've been talking about this a lot lately not related to the owl house but this show#Luz doesn't get discussed as much because her abuse is different but its real#Luz deals with different thoughts and Belos picks up on her thoughts and uses similar tactics on her that he does to Hunter#Like ongoing behavior to isolate her as much as he can and he tells her she's special etc and she feels like it doesn't affect her#and then in the series finale she has that nightmare sequence that . comes from things he told her and how they're so much alike etc#to the point where she equates killing Belos to his mass murder which IMMEDIATELY gets shut down#Belos makes Luz think she is the same as him bc she thought he was cool once and he screwed her over and that's her fault#He betrayed her trust and repeatedly tried to kill her and then pulls a card on her like actually ur the bad guy for being MEan 2 me#he full send commits to that in the end that's one of his final lines he tries to make her feel like shit and Eda is like#YEAH I WILL GO THAT LOW

Apollo: *turns into a swan and lets Hyacinthus ride him across the land*
Zeus: *turns into an eagle and snatches Ganymede to the sky out of nowhere*
#apollo#hyacinthus#zeus#ganymede#apollo x hyacinthus#zeus and ganymede#incorrect greek gods#incorrect greek mythology quote#incorrect greek mythology#there's a theory that the depiction of Hyacinthus riding a swan is actually him riding Apollo#and we know the paintings of Ganymede getting abducted by Zeus#Hyacinthus looks so cute and happy with swan Apollo#while Ganymede terror-screams at eagle Zeus#it's the same courting tactic but very bad execution on the thunder lord's part 😒

this phrase of "bombing them back to the stone age" is frankly bloothirsty, completely genocidal and appaling and I never heard someone use it unironically outside of a comedy movie general
But then I thought, did I really never heard it before? No, it isn't the first I heard it, it sounded like a very Usamerican stock phrase, so I looked it up...
Explains a few things.
#Curtis LeMay was by the way the guy who organized the 'strategic bombing' of Japan#which was later replicated in Korea and Vietnam#for huge losses of life with no tactical benefit other than terror#and it's still being done today in Gaza no wonder the Israeli defense minister admires him#also something about how English reuses the same stock phrases all the time#cosas mias
