I wanted to see if I could draw Liko as a Gen 1 character! 💙
Instead of just changing the art style, I tried following the trends of the era to create a whole new design that looked believable for the time. For example, her outfit is based on Squirtle instead of Oshawott in this concept. :>
[Update: She has friends now!]
#Pokemon Anime#Pokemon Horizons#Anipoke#Pokeani#pkmnart#Liko#my art#Anipoke art style swap#// since Liko is a Gen 9 character it was so much more difficult to 'devamp' (do people still say that? lol) her design compared to Conway#who is technically a Gen 4 character but his design is basically a Super Nerd. a Gen 1-2 trainer class#I feel like I could simplify her even further to look more authentic but I wanted her to still be recognizable!

"now, doesn't that look nice?" [insp]
#*chanting* skask skask skask skask-#vincent aurelius lin#adamandi#hello. let's talk about what's going on here! i've been tossing the idea about here wrt skin translucency ever since that post came out#(it's linked above fyi. but to quote it.) 'attempting to pursue this unachievable white ideal of the young academic; maybe leading to gory#representations of mimicry; replacement; taking on someone else's skin; altering the self'#this is primarily key in vincent and the skask; in the actual show iirc they used a jockey mask or smth? but i was thinking about the#delightful way skin is semi-transparent. and so a literal layer of skin alone would be unlikely to provide the whiteness pursued-#the under layer of the original tone would be there. so smth about the failure and unattainable.#additionally; at this point of the show the skin would have been likely yellowing or greying due to post-mortem development? so even more#Not white. from observations (as a kid;comparing skin tones?) white people have a pinker undertone (this might be. a generalisation but.)#here the lighting is yellowish to further push the difference + give the super harsh lighting that if you suspend disbelief has some hair#appear as blonde to further the ambrose-ness.#also the hair- messier on the non-ambrose side; a reference to the whole monologue about the haircuts they got#we bring to you also another episode of <i like drawing fabric folds> in the jacket symbolism! from bottom right to top left; it tracks#vincent throughout act two: the initial long jacket for standing out (nonchalance?) at ardess is removed; the yellow coat is put on- aided#here by ambrose's ghost which is represented by the hand! (it is very very slightly transparent- you can see the jacket pattern through it)#(if you look close) and then the satchel goes over it; this mimics the clothes in <oh ms reporter>#and then the Actual Ambrose jacket goes above along with the skask; following the outfit from the pyre scene at the end.#the spark/star thing is partially foreshadowing for the upcoming stabby eye trauma thing (@quincy) and partially just so i could highlight#the eye of the mask/ the place where vincent's eye probably is Behind the mask. because i liked the idea of merging faces; intersection.#back to the translucency of skin - you can kind of make out where the rest of his face is from the darker bit? aka it's not the same colour#as the skask. smth smth limited effectiveness...#tldr? face skin. jacket skin. altering appearance over time; unfeasibleness#when i was doing this i suddenly remembered covering my skin in talcum powder as a kid... hm. i'd forgotten about that.#anyways! when i posted my first ever adamandi thing i had the thought of 'this musical makes me want to paint' and surreally enough#that has proved to be so so true. and ngl i am really enjoying it? love it when the motivation to create is there haha#i will add as a disclaimer that i'm literally chinese and if the colours look off.. i did not mean to make a caricature. please be nice#that said because stage lighting tends to shift colours about a Lot i essentially used my own skin as a reference under yellow light?#so hopefully that checks out. <disappears>

Love the way Darrow is Virginia biggest stan since day one tho. He always reads and rereads her papers, listens to her speeches on repeat and has them saved on his dataPad that he wears on his person at all times, and he always defends her to any critics 😤.
Omg in LB when he used her voice for the audio of Path to the Vale, literally his little SELF HELP book, I melted into a happy puddle. And I just passed the part in Iron Gold—currently rereading—where Dancer says he has to protect the Republic from a tyrant and Darrow immediately is like, my wife isn’t a tyrant 😤 and him going to sleep listening to her voice and watching her on the HC despite knowing she’s upset with him and thinking how unblemished she is by all of it. They are such a healthy relationship I love it so much
And how he was the first to kneel for his Sovereign 🥹
And then when she finally sees him again and remembers how this man “needed no witness to burn” when she first saw his dark energy at the institute
And when you know who died in LB his first thought was he wished to be home in her arms, she is his comfort above everything
And then Mustang always defending him as well, like Roque saying Darrow is only who he is bc of those around him, and she says I AGREE like acknowledging Darrow leans on his friends and vice versa and reiterating how amazing that is. And then Aja asking how she could betray her kind for him, to which she says EASILY.
Let this man retire to Mars with his Governess/Sovereign wife and be the trophy husband he deserves to be and make breakfast for his family every morning like he wants 😭
#reaperstang#mustang is his peace#he even compares Eo to Victra and says there’s no peace in them they have too much fire#it just further proves Mustang is the love of his life and they were meant to find each other#red rising#darrow of lykos#virginia au augustus#and of course Mustang being so protective of him they are so afraid to lose

I need to move the fuck out of Ontario permanently. one of these years the winter WILL kill me.
#at LEAST out of southern ont#I could deal with the harsher but prettier winters further north. Where winters are white and green and not brown and grey#Even the Kawarthas were comparatively less devastatingly depressing than the Hamilton/GTA area#Ideally BC long term though because the air isn't so dry in winter that going outside causes sinus pain lol

Honestly in my head I’m always obsessed with thinking about Sasha Waybright as my personal favorite Mean girl in a long while. I mean she’s like a different type of mean girl from Amity or a Pacifica Northwest.
Sasha is such a wonderful character I love her so much. I love her as a villain, as a hero... my savior, my downfall I love the depth of her messed up behavior, I love how so many of the terrible things she does, she does them out of her messed up idea of love, I love how she keeps so many of her mean girl traits after her redemption while becoming so soft as well. I love how we get these two entirely different versions of the same character while she still feels always very much like her. I never got the idea that I was watching an entirely different character. I love how obvious it is that she loves her girls, even at her worst moments.
#i cant remember much abt pacifica but i dont even count amity as a reformed mean girl when we have the likes of sasha or#god forbid#catra to compare her to#amity was a mean little shit. sasha was like. a game of thrones villain.#though. not to further compare toh and amphibia to claim amphibia did it better (though it did cough cough) but i really wish amity had#kept being mean and rough the way sasha did. idk purple amity is a bit too smooth and fluffy for me#like you couldnt say. amity blight. my villain. my hero. my savior. my downfall. doesn't hit the same way does it?#maybe i just prefer angst idk

Yunli being an absolute gremlin child was not on my bingo card for this patch but I am NOT complaining. She's such a little brat (affectionate)
#hsr#yunli#honkai star rail 2.4#I've seen some posts about people not liking her Because she is a brat#to which I say:#that is part of the fun#and to which I also say:#so help me I am drafting a post comparing Yunli at the outset of this quest and Yanqing at the start of the Loufu quest as we speak.#they BOTH start off as gifted child prodigies who have never faced a substantial challenge.#they BOTH start out presumptuous of their own ability and needing to be humbled#Yanqing looks comparably more mature in this quest because he has already been humbled (read: bodied by the entirety of the Xianzhou quest)#and I'll bet (at least I HOPE) that Yunli has a similar lesson that she's going to learn in these quests#I will stop rambling in the tags for now and try to organize my thoughts into a longer post for later but in conclusion#Yanqing and Yunli are both my beloved children and I love them and their squabbling so much and I want them to become friends#EDITING THIS FURTHER to clarify that I don't mean this in an antagonistic way to yunli dislikers. if any of you even see this#moreso a 'your comments have started me thinking' kinda way

hes a vast avatar to me for reasons
#(it's because I'm a vast avatar and I relate to him)#ok but I do have more reasons#first of all:#the sun is sooo vast to me. usually it's one of the first things that really makes you think about the scale of the universe#I mean it's one of the most significant things to life on earth. and it's so incomprehensibly massive compared to us..#it's around the same size as the moon in our sky despite being around 400 times further away#second of all. as my favorite guy mike said:#“what good's the height [and] terrifying draw of gravity unless you really *know* the scale of what you're facing?”#you have to KNOW the danger you're in. see the ground down below and feel the dizzying rush as you comprehend your fate#the cosmic beast blinks unable to focus on something so microscopic. you know it could crush you without even noticing#the way the stars a million lightyears away blink photons in your receptors and know you are so insignificant on a universal scale#third of all:#connecting to the last point. insignificance. that's literally the whole apathy thing#reminding heart he means nothing. the sun is depended on by its planets and everything that lives#the moon is a rock that orbits the earth. it reflects the sun's light. the most significant thing it does by itself is cause tidal changes.#fourth: mind just seems like the type of guy to enjoy the feeling of vertigo and want to kiss some cosmic entity#cj mind#nevermeanttodraw#thesuntheshadowscast

Ohhhh i now remember why i got shy about talking abt ocs
24/7 fear that someone will tell me my ideas are cliche/stupid/bad in some other and it will hurt more bc these are my own creations and not just fun and play
#kurjatxt#i was trying 2 explain some stuff and i was immediately like#:/ does this feel like some kinf of weird hype for ancient mysticism and does that go into promoting the current day false ideas plaguing#people that make them drink unpasturized milk :/#is this too based on my view on magic from my enviroment bc it is based on my personal experience on seeking safety in#nostalgia and playing w the idea of balancing what you get from the past and integrating it into the future vs. just being stuck in the#past vs. the danger of completely rejecting the past told through the lense of smth i loved as a child: fantasy/magic/fairytales :/#and could be alienating and immature and demeaningly simple to other people who grew up in an enviroment already more inclined to#this kind of balance :/#or is me thinking about this demeaning to people bc i should be able to trust them to see what i make as silly ramblings by some random#tumble user just exploring their own experiences through story instead of trying to make some large sweeping statements about#the world and its reality :/#or is it bad of me to be careless about bc of COURSE i should put the upmost care into what i put out into the world and make sure that#everything i make is inclusive and as accessible to as many different types of people to relate to :/#or is that dumb is that limiting to art and am i giving a bad example and furthering the idea of people#havibg to make everything as palatable to everyone as possible JUST in case that nobody gets even slightly hurt or annoyed :/#man being a creator is hard OOPS that is also an evil thing to say being a creator is the luckiest thing you can ever be and ur just beinh#a whiny bitchbaby :/#<-#all that just. a small portion of the overthinking#and yk what it started from?#thr statement '<#in this world magic can be kind of more compared to how modern science is approached'#THAT SENTENC3#I AM SO STRESSED ABOUT#WhY IS MY BRAIN LIKE THIS!!!!

I rewatched the second sonic film with my sister tonight and man. I forget how much I genuinely love this movie
#like? is it a perfect film? no. is it kinda cringy sometimes? a little. but is it super cute and fun??? YES#I actually love Wade and Rachel in this film they're so funny. and eggman is great.#Sonic is SO BABY IN THE FIRST FILM IT'S REDICULOUS#it's also really interesting to compare Sonic here to how he is in the 2nd film cause like in the first one he is a socially starved CHILD#but in the second even though he's still got a lot to learn he is just so OBVIOUSLY more mature and better socially adjusted#and I am just so happy for him#Tom actually matures a lot too between the first and second films#like in the first he's a guy who's feeling unsettled and tying to find his way in life#but in the second he's a parent. And even though Sonic hasn't admitted that to himself Tom has still felt that responsibility#and he's really grown and matured into that role and become even more likable in the 2nd film as a result and I'm just so happy for him too#cannot wait to see how they've both developed even further in the 3rd and then how Sonic probably regresses for part of it mwahahaha#ya know#sonic movie#sonic movie 2#sonic movie 3#sonic movie 3 theories

ughhh the arrancars are fun but i hate how this arc treats orihime so fucking much
#its already started#digging in the knife for orihimes lack of power compared to the others#“let women be healers” and then u have NO RESPECT FOR THEM#shes literally a miracle worker shes literally god she can REJECT DEATH but noooooo god forbid anyone (or even the NARRATIVE)#lets her fucking BREATHE#i hate hate hate when shounens give their heroines arcs of feeling their incompetence only to kick them further down#orihime is more hinataesque archetypewise but she reminds me of sakura too#bleach reread

Ryuunosuke with Takeru: raised in a (mostly) traditional samurai environment specifically to be his lord's most loyal servant, happens to also be flamingly homosexual and an extremely dramatic theatre kid, these things are separate but together add up to A Lot
Ishiro with Taiya: idk but whatever you got going on CANNOT possibly explain why you're leaving snail trails in the passenger seat of his Mitsuoka Rock Star.
#tokuposting#I love Ryuunosuke. him being like IF YOU GET SO MUCH AS A MOSQUITO BITE I'M KILLING MYSELF!!!! is like the main reason I watched Shinkenger#but oh my god. the shit with Ishiro is like. the fact we're even comparing u two when ur personalities couldn't be further apart is telling#Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger#Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

wounding, sealing, kissing
#press into me further. the arrow of christ's love. the bride's spear wounding christ. penetration you will always be famous.#we so desperately need to get back to this. like not even kidding#we need to get back to comparing every form of religious devotion and worship to desire and love. everything else is pointless#*sexual desire at that! lets not be boring#also what if i said.... well. ifykyk.#christianity

#ooc#ramblings#you /know/ it occurred to me today that in a certain sense mig caught a lucky break?#in that his dna was spliced with that of a spider's instead of a previous copy of his own dna as he had originally planned#that's absolutely not to say that the process he went through was still several kinds of horrific#and continues to get even worse every time i try to picture what he might've endured#but i'm just saying things could've got way more fucked up for him in a completely different sense. hard as that is to be believed.#considering tyler had - surprise surprise - spiked his drink with something meant to temporarily simulate rapture and not the actual drug#i'll need to have a further think on it but for the moment the closest thing i can compare this to#is something like radiation exposure#where instead of /shaking/ the rapture addiction he sort of signed his own demise?#with cell division shutting down and just other metabolic processes getting all out of whack#that or the process outright killing him like mr. sims#so YEAH#there's layers and layers to this that i could keep rambling on forever about ngngcbn

with how hard the total drama train has hit me this time I'm doing a tier list on every character tomorrow (guygirlthing who has not even watched Pahkitew Island) (or The Ridonculous Race)
#everyday ridonculous race tempts me further. however i know there is ONE GUY from pahkitew and i feel like in order to know his deal#i need to watch pahkitew. and i don't exactly want to because i know how much people hate it#even then. more owen and noah. more GEOFF. i wouldn't have expected geoff of all characters to make a comeback but i'm not complaining#geoff is great. kinda sad bridgette isn't with him but then again. she probably is less willing to go back to reality tv compared to him#also this hypothetical tierlist is happening tomorrow since. the sleepy. it's late#i know like. 2 people who care about total drama but still ffmeofnep#(and if i do watch pahkitew and ridonculous i'll make an updated one)

how are you a holocaust survivor if you're POC?
I'm not a Holocaust survivor I'm 25?
I'm gonna guess you mean descended from Holocaust survivors & victims. In which case it's really sad that you think this way firstly? POC and non Jewish people did in fact die during the holocaust and many were targeted for not fitting the Nazis' idea of the "superior Aryan race".
From The Holocaust Encyclopedia: "When Adolf Hitler and the Nazis came to power in 1933, there were several thousand Black people living in Germany. The Nazi regime discriminated against them because the Nazis viewed Black people as racially inferior. During the Nazi era (1933–1945), the Nazis used racial laws and policies to restrict the economic and social opportunities of Black people in Germany. They also harassed, imprisoned, sterilized, and murdered an unknown number of Black people."
Also contrary to what some believe, and this may sound farfetched and I hope you're sitting down but bear with me- some people are actually more than one race. Some people are POC and white. We call this being biracial. Or in grade school, being an "Oreo". A mutt if they really want to dehumanize you
But while my relatives weren't targeted for their skin color as they were white, many people were. Black Germans and other POC did exist, were murdered and traumatized, and have passed down that generational trauma. Just as other persecuted populations even if it was much less it was no less a part of the genocide and ethnic cleansing.
#i was actually never called an oreo but my siblings were#the fun thing about my racial ambiguity is no one irl knows what racial slur or term to call me#anyway there were Holocaust victims that were POC and it's even more reason to compare these events.#we have to mention the holocaust by name. we have to say hitler's name. i feel if we don't we're forgetting that this has happened before#because millions did not die during the holocaust just for us to justify more ethnic cleansing. more destruction of people's land& history#we have to look at how history was rewritten and how they allowed a genocide and massive cleansing to happen#and given my background i can't wrap my head around seeing everything that i heard of the nazis and even the USSR doing#and just going “but hamas”. israel is the cause hamas is the effect. i will never be happy that innocent people died#but people are wrong to say it was because they're jewish and muslims/palestinians/arabs hate jews. furthers the us vs them#they were already being killed and there's a reason colonized ppl & BIPOC see through the propaganda#the “they kill babies and rape women and hate you for how you were born and want to take things from you!”#we are familiar with it bc this isn't the first time it's happened and we remember the result of that mentality#and how it was weaponized#when i say mention it i do not mean above the current genocide. but we know how serious the holocaust was#the scale the lasting impact the destruction the things that were uncovered so much later#there is no “aftermath” of gaza yet bc the genocide is ongoing but we've seen the aftermath of genocide before#if we ignore the parallel we are forgetting history and there's a saying about those who forget history#free palestine#palestine#gaza#free gaza

mommy johan on the mind again fellas.
#i SWEARRR the visions of him manifesting maternal instincts from being raised by his mother and with his sister and curiously playing#with his sister's baby doll one time are hitting me square in the face. right in the face. knock out#then he sees you and a side of him he didn't know he had surfaces.#you whos just a bit of a mess. who always wipes your mouth with your sleeve. who's a bit out of luck in finances. always tired and stressed#and he just... he can so easily take care of these for you. take care of YOU.#nevermind that you're practically the same age even. which make it more hitting to your ego because compared to you he's knows so much#and it's like he's BETTER than you in ever possible way and it just reminds you how much of a loser you almost are compared to him.#and it's further proving his point that you need this. you need him.#anyways very norman bates hehehehe. watched psycho 1960 and the ending is soooo <3 to me. love a man who emulates his mother.
