LOOK AT HIM. LOOK AT HOW FUCKING PRETTY HE IS. A H. I SCREAM. I SCREAM SO SO MUCH I LOVE HIM AND I LOVE WHAT YOU'VE DONE AND A AA A A A A A A 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I FULL OF HAPPY LOVE TEARS AHHHH.

I was SWTOR-ing with @elaphaemourra and they put the Lando Calrissian bell bottoms on their toon, and Disco Skaia was born.

so naturally I was seized by an immediate and compelling need to draw Disco Skaia. It was an adventure trying to find a middle ground between 70s aesthetics and Skaia's decidedly un-70s color scheme but I prevailed, more or less.

Nice to Meet You! I am Klingy Xemphos. Show Master for the Band of Creatives know as "Vivid Praxis" we are a group of artistic individuals who have gathered together to share with you places, sighs and sounds you've never seen before, and also some that might be strangely nostalgic.

It is music made from the minds of those in a raw sense of themselves. I will be sharing our Works on this blog and updating everyone on the situations that befall us.

We hope to entertain and mayhaps even perhaps dazzle you hmm?

He's got a whole menagerie--and this isn't even Most of it.

Skaia's totally a disney princess and I don't make the rules on that, that's just the Truth.

Dinluke Week 2022 Day 2 🌌The Mand'alor & The Prince of Naboo🌌

(So Luke isn't technically an official Prince of Naboo in my AU, but he does personally oversee the planet and supervises Padme's legacy to make sure she is commemorated for all the work she did in her lifetime. Naboo is also one of the few planets he feels comfortable going to, often times with Din.)

Did i spend like 15 minutes hunting down pictures before giving up and Then spend another 10 and finding smth? Yes. Hope y'all don't mind an art dump

I just think it'd be fucking hilarious but also neat if there was a Sith who just wore neon. Like. Good luck fighting the Sith when they're dressed in bright neon yellow or neon pink. You open your eyes and you're instantly blinded not by their Force Lightning nor the whirling of their lightsaber but rather the sheer audacity of their outfit colour combinations. A villain, they say? They're only a villain because the way they dress should have them arrested in twenty-six systems

ok full swv thots now that i’ve seen them all:

the duel:

me while watching: huh this art style reminds me of jojos, which i have not watched in part bc i find its artstyle off putting

me when i found out it was animated by a studio that’s worked on jojo’s: 👁👄👁

i liked the story and the umbrellasaber and the music!!! just the artstyle was not for me :( i like colors lmao

tatooine rhapsody:

cute!! chibi bib fortuna was SO FUNNY LOOKING me n my brother laughed at it for like an hour 😂😂😂

i’m CRYING the one band member was like “working for the hutt syndicate is BORINNNGGGG” but then his band ended up working for the syndicate 😂😂😂

the twins:

GALOLIO KIDS MY BELOVEDS

this one being by imaishi and trigger, and also most evocative of the ot, really just gets me in the fucking heart lmao. i’m as full of love as any trigger anime 💜💜💜❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

i’ve already talked abt this one extensively so i’ll leave it at that for now lmao

the village bride:

the SWORD BLADE LIGHTSABER HELL YEAH

i wish there was more lightsaber fighting the design was so cool!!!

the ninth jedi:

i think this was my favorite after the twins!! kara was so cute!!!

bro when they mentioned “the lightsaber changes colors with the force user” i was like “oh we’re totally gonna see a sith then” but i did not expect them ALL to be sith FNSNDNSNDMKEI

i loved the animation too!! especially the lightsaber duels + ice fire thing + speeder chase!!!

to-b1:

i loved the music and the animation on this one!!!

it took me forever to get through bc i kept pausing to read the aurebesh (which was mostly either nonsense or a language i actually don’t understand) LMAO

the rogue one reference!!! hell yeah!!!!

the elder:

another one i have already talked about so i will just say i love dan!!!!

oh wait also i do want to add that i thought the lightsaber fights were very well done and creative and stylistically unique (as in like. fighting style)!!!!!

lop & ochō:

the imperial officer reminds me of fuckign. ROMAN TORCHWICK AJDNDNNSJSKSL i do like his undercut tho 👀

good dads and found family………….WAAAAAAHHHHH

bro that was so sad what the fuck. like i loved it and it was one of my favs!!!!!! but. FUCK

akakiri:

ngl the music in this one was pretty distracting……..people are FIGHTING and DYING and its like. Lofi Vaporwave Beats 😭😭😭😭😭😭

overall:

really my only big critique is the voice acting :( i only ever watch dubs bc i’m too stupid to read subs and watch at the same time and it was pretty disappointing that most of the voices were just off putting??? like some were good (AM SOUNDED SO UNHINGED, her voice grew on me tbh) but some weren’t (karre…you deserved to be johnny yong bosch or yuri lowenthal or like any other trigger protag dub va lmaoooooo).

also the music!!! like it was good at times but ESPECIALLY for the twins i thought it wasn’t the best. like they should’ve just brought in sawano for some unhinged gay keysmash vocal track for that one scene. and clearly other people agree bc i’ve seen it with sorairo days, libera me from hell, and before my body is dry!!!!! DONT LOSE YOUR WAAAAAAYYYYY

overall i really enjoyed it though!!! it feels wholesome and healing to consume new star wars content and not be consumed by blinding rage :)

like i feel like they all understood the essence of star wars but wanted to put their own spin on it!!!! you can tell the creators love it and want to honor what came before!!!! and they’re giving it the highest honor they can: carving out their own stories in the universe that share what they love so much about it!!!

like. MAN. just PLEASE turn all of star wars into anime at this point. this was so refreshing and good and i loved it!!!!

like the lightsabers ALONE were the coolest they’ve EVER been. and they’re LIGHTSABERS!!!!!!! theyre cool by default!!!!!!

truly genuinely amazing what happens when you give star wars back to the culture that so much of it was poached from in the first place………..

Dragon Ball Z 288

So between Episodes 287 and 289, you’ve got this ten year gap, spanning the wish to erase the world’s memories of Buu, to the first appearance of Uub, which marks the epilogue to Dragon Ball Z.     Over the years, there’s been a lot of material created to fill in that “ten year gap.”  The last ten minutes of Episode 287, this episode, Movies 13, 14, and 15, all 131 episodes of Dragon Ball Super and the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie.  Uh, what else?   That Yo! Son Goku and his Friends Return special.   There was some crossover special with One-Piece and another anime I forget the name of.  Also, both of the Xenoverse games, while set in the future, feature Goku pulled from this general time period.

I can’t blame people for trying to fill in this period with new stories.  The question is whether there’s really a story worth telling at this point.  I like Movies 13 and 14. Movie 15 was okay, but hardly worth the trouble, and Dragon Ball Super didn’t get good until the Tournament of Power, which I wouldn’t call essential viewing.    The action was good, but the story doesn’t hold a candle to classic Dragon Ball and DBZ.

In a lot of ways, Episode 288 is sort of a prototype for a lot of what Dragon Ball Super ended up doing: these slice of life, quiet moments in between the big adventures.  This is mainly because Super had a really hard time cooking up an antagonist worthy of the franchise.   Beerus and Golden Frieza were borrowed from movies, Champa, Hit, and Jiren weren’t really bad guys, and Zamasu was absolutely fucking awful.  When I watched Super, it was honestly a relief to see that the next episode would be the gang screwing around at a basebal field or a movie set or whatever.   At the same time, it was always frustrating to me.   They went out of their way to bring these characters back, and they never seemed to have a plan for what they wanted to do with them.  I’ll watch the Tenchi Muyo! gang hang out in a mall or something, that sounds like a good time.   But Goku?   I expect a little more from him.

In this episode, everyone’s having a party at Bulma’s place, but Goku went off to watch some pterodactyl eggs hatch.   So it’s pretty similar to a number of one-shot DBS episodes, except DBZ hasn’t done this sort of thing very often, so it’s a lot more effective.  

Here’s the problem: One of the four eggs fell out of the nest and is stuck in this precarious-looking branch.    Goku wants to move it back, but the parents won’t let him, and I guess he’s not eager to force the issue with his powers.   He’s worried that the baby will fall once it hatches, so he sticks around to keep an eye on the situation.

Anyway, Chi-Chi got all dolled up for this pary, so she’s decided to just go without Goku’s broke-ass and leave him to his nature hike or whatever.    There needs to be more fan-art of Chi-Chi in this getup.  

If I’m not mistaken, Goten’s outfit in this episode is a callback to the clothes Goku wore in that one episode of the Fortuneteller Baba Saga.   Let me just pull that up...

Eh... close, but not quite.   Goten’s got the tie and the hat, but he’s wearing suspenders instead of a vest. 

Anyway, everyone arrives at Capsule Corp.   Yamcha’s got a new car Bulma had made for him at a discount, and Krillin’s thinking of asking for one of his own.    The Son family shows up and Chi-Chi gets miffed when anyone asks about Goku.   Chi-Chi says he’s waiting for his eggs to hatch.

Anyway, they’ve got a nice spread here.    This looks like the place where all of Dr. Brief’s animals run around, but that seems like a bad place to hold a party, so maybe they have more than one indoor park.  

Anyway, Tien and Krillin have some pizza, and Master Roshi laughs at a “photo album” (it’s porn).

Buu wants Vegeta’s hot dog, and he’s in a good mood so he gives it to him.   I always liked that.  It shows that they managed to get along at some point.     This is the sort of thing Dragon Ball Super should have done.   Buu never got a chance to interact with most of these guys in Z, and they killed him off in GT, so they could have gotten some mileage out of him in Super, but they didn’t.

Chiaotzu drinks exactly half of one soda and leaves.  

Piccolo’s just chillin’ out in a flower bed.    Character arc, complete.

Oh, you thought this was the smug Goku macro?   Tell me again how you didn’t know it was from this scene where Goku reminisces about his grandfather.

I guess the place where his space pod crashed wasn’t too far from this pterodactyl nest.   I’m surrprised the crater grew over so fast.    Also, this is like the third or fourth time they’ve shown this location in Z, and it never looks the same twice.

Anyway, Grandpa Gohan was strict but also very kind, and I always like how Goku remembers him here, as the series is drawing to a close.  

Then a DINOSAUR FIGHT happens, because this show rules! Not sure why the two-legged dinosaur has hippo ears, but okay.   It’s like Toei thought the rights holders for actual dinosaurs would sue them or something.   

This scene also features the Ginyu Force song from the early portion of DBZ.   You know the one.

Thirty-two seconds into this video.    They ran this song into the ground in the Namek Saga, and then slowly weaned themselves off of it in the Frieza Saga, until eventually it fell out of rotation.   I think it got used a couple of times in the Androids/Cell arc, and this might be the first time it’s been used since then.   And you know, it’s a great song when it’s used sparingly.   Once I got used to expecting it in every episode, it got really grating, but here, it works perfectly.    I found myself sort of missing it.   

Anyway, Goku totally in favor of cool dinosaur fights, but he doesn’t want them near this nest, so he carries these rowdy boys to another spot and tells them to fight there.  

But that sort of kills the whole mood, you know?

Never mind that, because it’s TIME TO DANCE.

In the Japanese version, the score uses the rock music Tank Clerk was jamming to in Fusion Reborn.   I guess this is the only rock music in all of Dragon Ball, sort of like how Cold Slither’s music is the only rock music in G.I. Joe or Transformers.

We’re tired of words!   We’ve heard it before!

We’re not gonna play the game no more!

We’re Cold Slither, heavy metal  machine!

Through the eyes of a lizard in you will dream!

When the venom stings, a new order brings our control!

Anyway Chi-Chi rules the disco floor until she throws out her back.   

Then Dende mentions Goku and it brings down the mood.   This is why no one invites you to these things, Dende.  Even Tien thinks you’re a buzzkill and he just spent the last half hour explaining the Haber-Bosch process.   

Bulma is worried about Goku, but Chi-Chi playfully suggests that Bulma is sweet on him, but that’s just too bad, because Chi-Chi’s too pretty for her to steal him away.    Is she drunk?   Maybe, but this is still less awkward than the dub version, where she suggested they trade husbands.   “No, I was only kidding about swinging, Bulma.... UNLESS...”

Back at where Goku is, all these other animals show up to watch the nest, because I guess animals do that in this show.  

Then it rains, and Goku shores up the nest with a bunch of logs.  Not sure how this improves the situation, but okay.

He tries to work on the branch the fourth egg is sitting in, but it falls into the river first.

Goku saves it, but then a fish tries to eat him.

But the egg is okay, so victory for Goku.

Kind of an ominous shot of Capsule Corp.   Looks like something out of Revenge of the Sith.

Everyone’s playing cards, and that looks like a lot of fun.    Well, not if I have to play with Roshi and Oolong.    Take me to the non-sex-offender table, please.

Krillin and his family prepare to head out, but they walk out the door just as Goku shows up.

This part here is great.

Chi-Chi gives him a hard time, but she can’t be too mad, because he does this sort of crap all the time.

So she takes Goku back to where the food is, and Goku gives Gohan the wink like “Yep, life of Riley.”

I almost wonder if they tried to do some sort of Last Supper thing with this, except they couldn’t fit everyone into the shot on a 4:3 TV.    Anyway, Goku explains how things turned out with the pterodactyls.

They all hatched.   Don’t really know what else to add to that.  Weird how some of these animals watching were causing trouble earlier.   That snake tried to eat the eggs until Goku tosses it away.

Goten asks if he was cuter than the pterodactyls when he was born, and Goku explains that he was dead when Goten was born, so he doesn’t know.   Awkward.

Then he invites Vegeta to come over and join them, because he’s sulking over by the window.   

i think Vegeta’s just enjoying this vaporwave sunset outside, but okay,

Then the narrator observes that everyone just has more fun when Goku’s around, which, true, but this is the sort of lionizing of Goku that made GT really irritating.  

Then the Looney Tunes thing happens to him and that’s all, folks.  

[swtorcompanionsgoofin]

Here's a fun fact for y'all: Skaia fucking loves rain. He's 100% the type of person to go lay down outside in the middle of a rainstorm to get absolutely soaked just because he likes it so much. It's great
