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!]

"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 😭

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.

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)

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.

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
