#unlikely but still

Zhongli playing the longest con in fucking history being a dragon sovereign and also an archon. Does he keep his powers? Like. Is that a thing? Does he fight to be victor of geo and end up with keeping it but being under celestias purview? Or is he straight up like. A reincarnation like Neuvillette like hi yes I am a normal mountain dragon adeptus god from Liyue here to fight in the archon war for a gnosis? I love this idea so much

it could be a neuvillette situation but i think the Longest Con only gets funnier the longer it goes on for? so for the sake of the Funny i'd like to think he's the Original sovereign. like- ignoring azhdaha (?). if he's the original guy, then it'd be like- he was among the first ones if not the first one to sort of see where things in the world were headed, and figured he stood a better chance at one day restoring order to this entire fiasco by just- playing along and going with the flow instead of rebelling and fighting a losing fight.

of course, this sort of comes into conflict with the gnoses' creation? bc they were made of the original sovereigns? so like. i guess you can always make the argument that, as a liyue creature, he could do the thing were he discards his mortal body and takes on a spiritual form? so like- he allowed his body to die, and then made up his human-esque form he has now to masquerade as a random god. so celestia would use his now empty dead body to make the gnosis, and it was only a matter of winning the archon war with his new identity and gaining the gnosis, which was essentially just getting his powers back only celestia had a sort of cctv on him at all times. thus truly beginning the Longest Con of pretending he was incapable of breaking celestia's hold over the gnosis and reclaiming his throne as the sovereign at any random point in time and playing along like he was some random god under their control. all the while he would've been like neuvillette pre-focalors' last act in terms of power, where he had the powers of the sovereign, he just lacked the authority (even though the gnosis was right there, but for the sake of the bit, he had to pretend he couldn't just reclaim it at any time)

it's so funny to think about. catch neuvillette being the first (after guizhong) to ever find out about the plan bc he came across zhongli one day (more like zhongli allowed himself to be found by him bc apparently canonically he can just avoid whoever he pleases in liyue) and tried to confront him as an archon and just like- zhongli would've just given him a Look, and neuvillette would've Known, and he would've just been left standing there while zhongli just walked away. neuvillette would've been too perturbed to really tell anyone and would've just like- avoided thinking about the situation until the Final Showdown or whatever.

fucking hilarious AU

Since S2 trailer hasn't dropped, which Autobots or Decepticons do you think will show up in Earthspark (outside of the ones shown in the "history lesson" Alex gave in the first episode)?

Hmm, I forget if ratchet is in that part but I'm honest to god hoping for ratchet and drift now that I know that was a possible plot point for s1

I feel like we're going to see Thundercracker, just a hunch. Just a hunch.

I feel like we're going to see new non Maltos terrans, and personally emphasis on terrans not terran

I feel like we're going to see more stunticons show up

(other than that, I think Jazz was in the Lesson and Prowl is definitely happening, and I saw some shit about combiner toys a while back... That's just an idea though)

Can you draw a full body image of both Cynique and Cynic.

I am working on a better/updated version (including all the androgynous, masc!cynic and fem!cynic/cynique version of our favorite girlypop), but in the meantime this is an old ref sheet of cynic's hero form!

I will say that, in other incarnations, I'll try to lean closer in to the more dusky browns of real life coyotes in other designs (Karra's signature color isn't really truly 'gray', that's just often what you get when you mix all of her true form/alebrije form colors into a guinea-pig sized container), but for Claudia specifically, she is always some version of warm gray (usually to contrast with Adrien/Chat's cool grays)

All of the rectangles/holsters on her knees, thighs and upper arms were meant to be holsters for her various combat knives, by the way. In the updated ref I'll make sure to point these out better (and... well.. draw them better too). The knife holsters are slowly becoming less of a necessary part of the design, though, as I feel like it would also be neat if she just pulled all of them out of her vest rather than just some of them.

Probably one of the best things for me in that episode was the final card pull. Cause anyone who knows anything about tarot probably knows the death card does not actually represent death literally. It represents something coming to the end, yes, but it also represents new beginnings and moving forward. It is overall a positive card to draw upright, representing growth, transformation, and change, rather than stagnation.

And so, they don't show us Lilia's death.

Instead, we see how Lilia changes, realizing how much she cares about the coven and how much she loves being a witch, realising that these powers are a gift no matter how unruly. We see her finally accepting her fate. And they show us the new beginning, back in that garden it all started in, as she sits down with her teacher at that table, and she says

"Let's begin again."

the difference between till at the start of round 6 and round 7

he doesn't seem like he's trying at all during round 6, having already fully given up living after losing mizi

but in round 7, even though he's lost even more, he's clearly putting all he has left into it

and the reason for that... has to be ivan, right?

he must have recognized ivan sacrificed himself for him, so for the sake of ivan's feelings till tries his absolute best to respond to them and perform that till sings at all here is for ivan

...but at the same time ivan is what haunts him

obviously, right? there's no way watching someone you were so close to you die like that right in front of you can give you actual "strength" (and this isn't even getting into the kiss...) contrary to ivan's (clearly wrong) conviction that till doesn't care enough for him to become a trauma to him, that's exactly what happens

this inextricable mix of love and hate, hurting and healing... this is the tragedy of their relationship to the end no matter how much ivan and till care for each other, they can't ever cure each other

this is like all I could think when I first played this scene
