See I love monster hunter a lot but it’s for many different reasons - I was telling my friend how cool it is that the monsters are not presented as enemies or evil and they have ecology and it’s not just about the fighting, which she thought was really cool! And it is really cool!

I then went to my room shortly after and had some of the most fun I’ve had recently smashing an astalos’s head in with a hammer shaped like a pumpkin

The problem with a lot of traffic life interpretations in my opinion is they don't understand character foils or don't employ them in their writing. Grian-Martyn and Scar-Ren are genuinely pretty good character foils for a series that is not really scripted or planned out like a book is. I could go on and on about how they parallel each other and the similarities between them. Even the smaller details between the four usually match up

leaving the rant in the tags so I don't have a huge block of text again ueueue

WELL.

evil weegee.

idea where luigi becomes evil one way or another (i’m into the idea of it being a wish-turned-curse-situation) and mario and bowser have to team up to figure out wtf happened and to stop luigi from causing mass destruction.

bowuigi bonus: relationship is pre-established meaning luigi is ruling koopa kingdom alongside bowser. perhaps luigi is self-conscious and feels like he isn’t seen as a leader, leading luigi to make a well-intentioned wish to be taken more seriously. the wish is warped and turns into a curse, turning him into a wicked ruler that takes over koopa kingdom, and his subordinates follow him out of fear rather than respect, when deep down respect is really all he wanted. it starts internally by luigi kinda turning against bowser (confusing the hell out of the poor guy) and just gets worse from there. bowser’s dismayed because both his husband and his kingdom have been yoinked away from him, so he begrudgingly has to team up with mario and peach and whoever else to get everything back.🤠

i kinda wanna write a whole fic now but i honestly am not as well-versed in mario lore as i used to be and haven’t played any of the games in years 😭😭 but ngl drawing evil luigi was fun. low key been in love with luigi since i was 8 years old so it was quite cathartic for me

EDIT: guys i know Mr L exists 😩 i knew of him when i drew this but not exactly who he was/what he did. but i still wanna try to make my own thing here/try to differentiate them LOL. there can be multiple flavors of evil right

flats under the cut because i’m not entirely happy with how the lighting turned out 😩

Okay I'm so tired this might not be sensible but I just want to say I am loving what QSMP is doing with the Federation workers. Look at them! They have parties, they have a coffee break room, they have partners and hopes and dreams! And also the unethical human experiementation and the torture and the dystopian regime. And fun posters of each other!

It's such a fun depiction of an evil organization, and I think so much stronger than just moustache-twirling villains. These guys have crushes on people and pick up vocal tics from islanders and get each other with rainbow jelly, and also they can be trusted about as far as we can trust them. It's delicious villains, I am crunching it in my jaws.

The neat thing about Choices books is that you can always tell whenever one is someone’s passion project vs. just a Nothing Book needed to fill the release roster.

Od didn't really sound sarcastic/lying through his teeth when talking so he SEEMS to be truthful abt this but he could also be implying he only heard of this stuff after his death so it could all STILL be lies/half-truths

Me trying to figure out who the FUCK this skeleton is/was and if it was someone from myth or just something Supergiant made up for the games

[citrine-elephant]

you'll never take "leon deals with mild sensory issues with his mandatory dress code @ the white house, so he can't keep his suit on properly cuz it's too itchy and stiff. he's also a bit insubordinate in later years and no one can really do anything about it cuz he still does his job, if not a bit bratty about it" headcanon. no matter the true lore.

[cappycodeart]

Can we have some information on glitch simon au? 🥺🙏

HEHEHE ABSOLUTELY!! I have a lot of Itchy stuff on the back-burner I'd be happy to talk about while I doodle up new Winter stuff! :D I actually have MORE itchy art/lore than Winter lore surprisingly it's just... really scattered and needs a lot of explaining dhsghfdsja... but we'll disperse it in small chunks...

This is his current main ref (kinda wanna update it tho bc there's some things about it that I don't like anymore).

Aaaaaaand a little bit of info I can give on him:

After the events of the failed ritual, this Simon is no longer human, but he's also not aware of this. He's a cosmic entity behaving like a human-shaped portal. Very in-tune with time and space and super sensitive to it's changes and flows.

Is made of a VERY powerful energy and suffers from MMS again. However, because he clings to his sanity as an anchor, his usable magic is limited (needs magitech to access most of it).

He's not glitching 24/7, although it takes him effort to keep himself from glitching. Physical pain and mental/emotional stress will cause him to lose stability.

He can time-travel AND universe hop, but hasn't figured out how to control the destination. If he glitches too hard, he will go full portal mode and teleport into a random universe and a random time period (if you touch him, you will teleport with him).

Has "future memory" which functions similar to past memory. He can recall events (within his own timeline) that haven't happened as if they've already occurred. This memory isn't perfectly clear and he's NOT all knowing. Gets memories of the future mixed up with those of the past (I read the Enchiridon's page on Amok Time/Multiverse stuff and got a bit inspired).

And that's all the info I'll give for now! I'll definitely be sharing more about him / his story in the future. I just haven't drawn or written a lot of it out besides scattered doodles that might be hard to understand without full context. I have a little Betty scenario that will be posted soon, but in the meantime I hope this is satisfying!! :)

oh fuck off no wonder qroier was so ready to call the house ‘ours’ with qjaiden and bobby. it really was a community house, its just the reason no ones in it isnt because they drifted off, but they left him. like abandoned.

he’s not worried about sharing his things or space because he needs to have people around him because apparently he’d had several people and then he. didn’t anymore. and he was left with a big empty house. of course he jumped to share it with someone, with family.

CINEMATIC PARALLELS: THE EVANURIS & THE VALAR ↳ ELGAR'NAN & MANWË

I am Elgar'nan: First of the Firstborn. Last of the Evanuris. Come to reign over you with fine and gentle hand. Citizens of Minrathous, give yourself to me, together we shall unleash magic so glorious, so limitless, that all the world will be transformed. — ELGAR'NAN, THE WRATH OF AGES CINEMATIC PROLOGUE

The mightiest of those Ainur who came into the World was in his beginning Melkor; but Manwë is dearest to Ilúvatar and understands most clearly his purposes. He was appointed to be, in the fullness of time, the first of all Kings: lord of the realm of Arda and ruler of all that dwell therein. In Arda his delight is in the winds and the clouds, and in all the regions of the air, from the heights to the depths, from the utmost borders of the Veil of Arda to the breezes that blow in the grass. Súlimo he is surnamed, Lord of the Breath of Arda. All swift birds, strong of wing, he loves, and they come and go at his bidding. — VALAQUENTA: OF THE VALAR

Long ago, when time itself was young, the only things in existence were the sun and the land. The sun, curious about the land, bowed his head close to her body, and Elgar'nan was born in the place where they touched. The sun and the land loved Elgar'nan greatly, for he was beautiful and clever. As a gift to Elgar'nan, the land brought forth great birds and beasts of sky and forest, and all manner of wonderful green things. Elgar'nan loved his mother's gifts and praised them highly and walked amongst them often. — CODEX ENTRY: ELGAR'NAN: GOD OF VENGEANCE

Then Manwë said to the Valar: ‘This is the counsel of Ilúvatar in my heart: that we should take up again the mastery of Arda, at whatsoever cost, and deliver the Quendi from the shadow of Melkor.’ Then Tulkas was glad; but Aulë was grieved, foreboding the hurts of the world that must come of that strife. But the Valar made ready and came forth from Aman in strength of war, resolving to assault the fortresses of Melkor and make an end. — OF THE COMING OF THE ELVES AND THE CAPTIVITY OF MELKOR

Would Yura still be friends with Sanya in non mutant AU

Probably! Though, not nearly as close.

Yura would befriend Arthur either way, who in turn would know Tsar, who in turn would know Sanya, since the two would be in the same year, perhaps even the same class.

So they would have occasional interactions, but Sanya having her own social circle prior to meeting Yura means she wouldn't cling to him as much.

Now that I think about it, she'd most likely hate him lol

not to be salty abt the fandom again (but always to be salty abt the fandom again) -- it never fails to make me laugh abt how popular the concept of corrupt heroes c!dteam versus misunderstood "actually the good guys" villain c!sbi is as a premise in this fandom. like. c!dteam. you mean the group that is textually in the damn lore considered "the bad guys" according to the prevailing narratives in AND OUT of universe. what

[agnesandhilda]

something something condescending undercurrent of how both -woman or -girl are acceptable suffixes for the names of adult female superheroes, but you hardly ever hear of a male hero with the -boy suffix, and when you do it much more specifically connotes youth/a subordinate relationship to an adult male hero

Granblue Fantasy is dangerous because before Daisuke Ishiwatari turned me into a Guilty Gear, I was really into knights and European-ish folklore/mythology and I have 5 copies of Sir Gawain & The Green Knight and a bunch of grimoires just laying around my bedroom. They put Gawain in Granblue. I saw that there's an Excalibur for every day of the week and they remembered Durandal too. Haven't found Galatine yet—that's another sword I have a storage device named after. Don't wanna look it up. It's fun finding these things in a random menu/quest and being like aww hey buddy <3

It's awesome that all the knights are beautiful gorgeous pretty men, too. It's what they would have wanted
