#also I am fascinate by the character design choice#of Ceaser and Cleopatra's kid having blond hair#considering both of them have black hair
Fun fact! In a previous edition of Astérix en Hispanie (Astérix in Spain) and Le Domaine des dieux (Mansion of the Gods), and also maybe La Zizanie (The Roman Agent), Caesar had blonde hair! I don't know if it was intentional, since Caesar had white hair in the albums prior to these ones; they coloured his hair white again in these albums in the recent edition.
Proof? Here you go:
Best of Asterix Round 2-3
Asterix the Gladiator vs Asterix and Son
#funny thing#even though caesar had blonde hair in some albums#I always saw him with brown hair when he was younger#since caesar really had brown hair in real life#also I'm voting for gladiator since it's one of my fav album#though the choice was tough#I mean#first introduction to caesarion?#caesar as a dad?#asterix and the village co-raising the baby#not knowing he's caesar and cleopatra's son#genius#astérix

Crazy wild shit man
#how are we straight up accepting the emmrich romance lich choice for how it’s written#does anyone feel me#hello???#no one else can see the inherent tragedy in this?#maybe I’m too mort ass pilled but um. trading away your life to escape death is no life at all#and why can’t rook be like. you killed yourself and took yourself away from me and now you have no skin for me to caress and no warmth for#me to share and though it’s still your consciousness you’ve a) gained a perspective I can never ever share and b) you have accepted#outliving me so thoroughly that I will be just a drop in the bucket of your life even if I get another good 50 years out of life.#why can’t I ask him is all this worth it without your heart????!??#why can’t I break it off?!!!???#why do I HAVE to celebrate this choice#emmrich volkarin#dav spoilers#and that’s not even getting into the philosophical questions surrounding fear and what it means to live like.#emmrich… has ocd. and I have no doubt that those fears are truly debilitating (despite this almost never coming up in the narrative)#and essentially this choice is one about how to deal with it. acceptance vs avoidance. and we see no consequences for either!!!#if he chooses to accept this fear as a part of him and work through it WE SHOULD SEE THAT WORK#he should struggle!! and that struggle should lead him towards making peace with that fear#AND!!#if he chooses to escape from that fear— to actively avoid ever resolving it— we should see him struggle with that too!!!!#molding your entire existence around this fear to the point you embody it… where are the emotional consequences for that!?#WHY DO I— AS SOMEONE WHO SUPPOSEDLY LOVES HIM— NOT GET ANY OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH BACK OR ASK SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS?!?#in a game about the tyranny of immortality… we can send our beloved to kill his mortal self to come back as an immortal husk.#and we’re not even allowed to be sad abt it the very next scene is some goofy cartoon shit at the lighthouse where every single person just#immediately accepts this reality and has no issues. not even taash 😭

you know what it is,
oh my GOD it's 2025 at last. holy shit, i think i'd be lying if i didn't say that i'm a little fearful for what's to come in the nearing future, what with the state of the world currently & all the wild turns it seems to be taking, & i'm sure you feel the same.
but take as much comfort as you can in knowing you're NOT alone. we're all in this together, we know how it is, we'll get through. remember to be kind to one another, & tell those you care about that you love them, even if you think they know it or otherwise, just be sure to remind them & let them know. do what you can & take it all one day at a time, it's all anyone could ask for.
god help those in times of crisis right now, & many prayers to those suffering in palestine. please everyone, keep fighting.
oh right this is an art post as well as the annual toast, UM PROPS TO ME for making my first, fully-formatted comic - which you'll be able to find below, & taking steps into character design diversity & recognizing color patterns & making them ACTUALLY look GOOD? MAYBE? ( with MUCH help from my beloved inspiration & sibling @velsebwifey of whom i love with all of my heart, ) & ANIMATION AS WELL! the narrator parade collab nearly fucking put me into an arrest BUT I DID IT! & learned quite a lot! last year's resolution was to " try new things, " & i think i did INDEED live up to it, especially when it came to my art! so once MORE! may i be so lucky as to learn a couple new things in the realm of creativity this year as well!
thank you all for another wonderful year, for EVERY bit of support & attention, for ALL your interest, for those of you who've made fanart ( that i promise i'm still reblogging ) or paid me for a commission / doodle, or even just asked me a question or enjoyed what i had to make or say! & THANK YOU TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS & ALL THOSE I'VE GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH / MET THIS YEAR! sweet blessings & well wishes to each & every one of you!
let's go forth & SPITEFULLY have a grand ( or at least tolerable ) year to come! & live dammit, live!
( template credit to @/moa180! )
2024: JAN / FEB / MAR / APR / MAY / JUN / JUL / AUG / SEP / OCT / NOV / DEC.
#uwu art#twinkie talks#hi i've been sick & stopped up to fuck so forgive me if the attitude of this post isn't as screaming loud as it usually is#WE BE TRUCKING ON#some of these were TOUGH CHOICES ooguh#if you don't know - i usually post the pieces i'm Most proud of throughout the year & that is so hard sometimes#because what i'm proud of doesn't always equal favorite but HGNHHH you know#IT'S FUN THOUGH!#happy new year to you all! may you achieve great things this year &/or survive. that in of itself is a grand feat

the boy-but-not-that-way-ism of riz gukgak send tweet
#not art#have been chipping away at a more... proper? so to say. piece of the kids for keepsake. and since its of them at the beach Im rotating#gender stuff in brain again. riz and gorgug ping a lot of the like funny gender stuff in my brain#very specifically adjacent to cultural understanding of it all... like I did say I do think riz has a gender and it can be#translated to ''man'' in solesian understanding but also that boy has close to no self awareness nor does he want to#he grew up as ''goblin'' before ''boy'' and it's kinda how he perceives himself. got a gender but doesn't wanna do much with it#kinda imagining him seeing his grandparents again and realizing that there's a gap there between himself and his grandpa too#and sitting with that for a bit. not for long that kid doesnt do that but for just a little bit#man I truly really do love that riz is aroace. my boy of the unquantifiable unimportant margins....#gorgug though is 100% trans lmao. there's a kinda distance to his own body in how he acts#that's kinda common in ''mad scientist'' characters? (or maybe my perspective's just skewed due to willow jenkins lmao)#kid spent the first two seasons fitting himself in places he Should be able to fit. and s3 is pretty much all about him Making New Spaces#thing is despite looking ardently for like. the reason Why he can't fit in in the first season I think gorgug really does#love his gnome parents and love being their child. and its confusing and tough to have to learn why something you love still hurts you#he wants it to not. he wants to make sense. and then it does and it changes nothing really#until he actively makes choices based on what he's learned. like. damn idk how to word it but#just like the ability to say ''actually this Is my life what are u gonna do? stop me from living it?'' is a powerful force#its rly fun to look at these two guys in these contexts thats like#they will never win the gender game just by virtue of being who they are. it's not designed for folks like them to win#but riz would simply not play and gorgug would design his Own game he's the champion of. and I think that rules

craziest choice to give ME of all people
#i picked orihime though🤭 sorry ichigo she's my babygirl#some of these choices were SO tough. like yoruichi vs hachi and shinji vs renji!!#the sternritters were tough too because i kept wanting to hit no opinion on all of them#UPDATE: uryu vs rukia??? this is nasty

so i downloaded a few mods to give the Squad™ a slight make-over...
Shorter hair for Gale, different hair and a better looking eye for Wyll, and Astarion got earrings. Alfonso 'The Face-Breaker' Tombstone is surrounding himself with handsome men while the ladies are banished to camp jail.
#this is the 1980's saturday morning cartoon gendered ass squad#except explicitly homoerotic#if i wasn't dedicated to Gale smooching this would be a tough choice for ole Al#honestly astarion should've had earrings#that should've been canon#im just fixing larians egregious mistake#i love modding. just wish the strongfat mod for body type 4 worked#so alfonso could have his wrastler body#it fine. whatever.#there is a mod that gives wyll tiefling teeth. ridges. and tail post demonfication after not killing karlach#and holy SHIT WYLL WITH SHARP TEETH AND A TAIL MAKES ME GO FERAL#hasnt worked since patch 5 though qnd i was SO SAD to read that#bg3

"Maul breezed past the malodorous Rodians and came to a stop before a teenage Abyssin, a hulking native of the planet Byss. ... [T]he Abyssin stood nearly two meters tall. Maul tilted his head back, looked up into the Abyssin's eye, and said, "I am Maul. Your move."" (Windham, 80).
Might I remind everyone that Maul is about 7 here, so he's probably around half the height of his opponent, who towers over nearly all adult humans.
Maybe one of the most badass things Maul has ever done. No posturing, just creepy confidence.
A small thing to note -- Maul's slow walk to the enemy and use of the term "move" implies that invokes the imagery of a chess match. He operates as and names himself as one of the pieces on the board. But he is a named pawn. Sidious told him to walk there just a few seconds ago. It will be a while before he grows up into a Knight.
#The Wrath of Darth Maul#notes & quotes#Maul#chapter 7#I chose knight due to the versatility involved. it was a tough choice though#I was thinking of castle#due to how he body slams opponents across the chessboard of the galaxy as per sidious' order#dooku is bishop. a leader role. a cunning role.#and sidious... im not even sure#darth vader would be a queen though#anyway if anyone has any insights into chess piece star wars pls let me know. especially regarding Maul. I am highly interested

yeahhhh this is a copout and i would actually like to know the answer. what happens when they disagree on something. if hazel fucks up does frank have to make her run laps or some shit. if frank fucks up does hazel have to oust him. would this relationship not cause a massive conflict of interest.
#the real reason praetors often date each other is because they are BANNED from dating anyone else in the camp its ILLEGAL#seriously though i know camp jupiter worldbuilding is a clusterfuck and should not be thought about too hard#but its funny how rick wants the romans to be hardasses and pays lip service to their harsh punishments or conquests#but also he wants the roman pov characters to be lovable even though they run the place so we don't see them DO any of these things#like was reyna carrying out the capital punishments she references with her own hands? what gives?#we also never have to see any non-reyna characters grapple with tough choices under leadership bc the the series was so quest-focused#so questions like this will never get answered#anyway i'm not against the frazel chain of command conflict i am actually pro-anything that makes their relationship at all interesting#yknow conflict intrigue all that#also lmao at me saying copout like this isn't the blood of olympus#hazel levesque#frank zhang

lazy scribbling of my baldur's gate 3 characters
#*emerges from 430 HOURS of life-changing playtime blearily like a lost and confused kitten*#i lost my interest in drawing bc everything is too sad & horrible right now. it was a luxury and privilege to lose myself in this instead#what follows will be my personal and trivial emotions about that#i'll do better proper drawings later. for me. they are both so very dear to me... deeply dear...unforgettable journeys of fate#truly have played like one possessed for the past few weeks. you have no idea. what do i do now. what do i do.#their personalities are so vivid to me though they mostly made the same choices. both intersex and they/them - canonically <3#i missed out on FOUR PARTY MEMBERS in my first playthrough due to not understanding anything whatsoever.#gloaming ended up with wyll and pavane romanced karlach and astarion. and ended up with the one i did NOT plan on. this wasnt the plan#one of the most fulfilling romance paths i've ever..i cant say more..it all got too immersive and now i have to just.. MOVE ON ??????????#live in THIS world where i can't gut imperialism personally and emerge alive from that?#without Long Resting? without my character requesting a kiss from their beloved after a tough day ??#without preparing my little spells? without channelling divinity from my death god to keep us all alive?#without dyeing my man's clothes fancy colours for him? without him Approving whenever i lie and double-cross our enemies#without sharing clothes with my ex? without choosing to eat the heavy food first so that the weight is easier on her Carrying Capacity?#without orchestrating ways for all of my friends to kill the abusers that ruined their lives for a decade or even 200 years?#without experiencing degrading horrors on a daily basis but in a cathartic way where we always make it back to our rooms at the inn#WITHOUT SPEAK WITH ANIMALS???????????#at least there's music. just like with persona 5 that will always be with me. always#like how p5 melodies take me back to those feelings. those rich and personal feelings.... BUT THIS WAS A WAY MORE NUTS EXPERIENCE#i thought i would hate it. i did at times. thought it would desensitise me to various things. it did. but there was so much more..it was...#Well anyway *continues my life* imagine if dnd was real..something to think about

ok this is the year we retire the old template & start using new ones hello
( & SO, this template credit to @ necromosss on twt! (( date edited slightly by me, in case you're confused )) )
WHAT a year, am I right?
2023 opened the door to a lot more experiences, events, fandoms, people, & all KINDS of hectic craziness for me, but it was REALLY fun, & while I don't think I really made HEFTY leaps & bounds in terms of doing something different with my art, every day - with every small change & improvement, I come to love my art all the more.
& that, I will contribute some to YOU! yes, YOU - reading this right now! to casual viewers, to those who have been with me since the premiere of this blog, to those who've come around in 2023 for one thing or another; to those of you of whom I've never spoken with, to those who have made me something or complemented my work, to those who've become my friends, my gratitude is IMMEASURABLE.
this last year, while its had its bumpier moments - I will confess, it's been truly incredible, & I thank you, every single one of you, who's had even the slightest hand to make it so. you are all TOO KIND, & I appreciate you sticking by & enjoying what I do.
hopefully, I can continue to make things that grab your attention, AWE & AMAZE YOU, & beyond anything, make you smile, if only to repay you some for all the joy you provide me.
HERE'S TO 2024! with hopes & prayers & wishes aplenty that we'll be better people in better situations before it's over!
2023: JAN / FEB / MAR / APR / MAY / JUN / JUL / AUG / SEP / OCT / NOV / DEC + BONUS PIECE.

#;ooc#ooc#/dont mind that the zipper is the wrong way shh#I CANT PICK ONE!!#BECAUSE;; i like the simple one but the others are good too; might be more personalized to say#its a tough choice bc the rest will follow the same look probably#though the change would be the font where the name is depending on the vibe the character gives me#like d.io will be with a big allcaps serif like his tail#r.isotto would be a blackletter style /gothic / ornate one#g.hiaccio would be an all caps serif but i don't know which; i want him to look good bc im biased#so on so forth#k.ira could be like a typewriter one; something depersonalized; like something that doesnt stand out at all in comparisson#lack of any distinctive twirls or anything#d.iavolo would be a vertical one; something big and imposing; maybe split- i know a font like that#SO ON SO FORTH

Omg bat family enjoyer??? Who are your favs???
oh i was dreading this question. it's always so hard to actually choose, i love them all. i guess if i have to actually choose, i'd say my top three are tim, jason and steph. i'm very bias, so if i had to actually name a full-on favorite, it's probably tim. i love him with my whole soul, and he wins for me every time i try to think about my favorite members. i'm emotionally attached to his character, he resonates with me. (we're literally the same person, trust me)
but obviously, no one beats alfred. <3
#☆ not mcyt .#☆ inbox .#☆ yap session .#whoooh i haven't actually yapped about dc for so longggg#i cant pick favorites with them#(im lying i absolutely pick favorites and it's tim jason and steph)#i love all of them a lot though#its a very tough choice#damian is a close one too#love that little demon#i dont like the whole who's the better robin discussion btw but tim is definitely a favorite of mine#pretty sure tim is my favorite dc character in general very close to conner's superboy#okay im done i think you poked an obsession of mine

Look the Disney live action remakes are, as a general rule, not even worth acknowledging, and there’s something wrong with adults who take the time to argue about them, but I didn’t expect Netflix to come out swinging with a steel chair.
#for those who have missed it#there’s going to be a live action Lilo and Stitch for some reason#Disney has made a probably tone deaf casting choice for Nani (ie an indigenous Hawaiian actress who seems kinda light skinned)#(it’s tough to tell because depending on the photos she’s clearly someone who tans easily)#anyway#the people who object to this and the people who objected to casting a black Ariel are fighting#‘mermaids aren’t real though!’ was winning right up until Netflix dropped promo stuff for a Cleopatra doco#featuring a Cleopatra who is VERY MUCH not Macedonian Greek#Twitter reaching dangerously high levels of representation discourse

scene that is forever stuck in my head. how'd you go about separating yours from mine? it was easy. i used a crowbar. ghhgrrh
#i had FORGOTTEN about the music cue and it made me laugh so hard in the middle of being totally swept up in the drama. oh my god#also the more often i watch this movie the more it's like. they should not have cast jack lemmon for this that's silly#but also the more it's like. oh i'm glad they did cast jack lemmon for this because i like that it's silly. weird choice i love it#no complaints about glenn ford obviously. glenn ford is always a tough cowboy and always steals the show in everything i've seen him in#< thoughts that make me want to rewatch 3:10 to yuma#and 3:10 would make a good double feature with this one anyway! deeply queer cowboy movies from the 50s starring glenn ford#that are both a quick 90 minutes and have themes about Toughening Up or Being A Man. and that make me go a little insane#*#video#cowboy#cowboy 1958#it IS still an awful terrible movie title in the time of search engines and social media though. that's true
