BHVR!! PLEASE MAKE A FULL LEFT 4 DEAD CHAPTER!!! The ability/perks sheet might not be the best or balanced, maybe someone can come up with the better idea for it

#dead by daylight #dbd #left 4 dead #l4d witch #l4d hunter #the legion #I also wanted to include a legendary Smoker skin for the Deathslinger but the animations wouldn't make sense #someone on steam made a very detailed guide on the possible l4d chapter #much more complicated but interesting

all the rise boys get done dirty on characterization by fandom in different ways i think. (not ALL the time every fanwork etc etc these are just like, trends i tend to notice?) every fandom suffers from losing character nuance.

- leo i’ve talked about plenty on this blog, how some of his canon traits (genuine belief in his skill and cockiness, capacity for joy, his manipulativeness whether for good or ill) seem to get watered down or wiped off the board and supplemented with generic sad boy. his struggles with purpose and identity and not wanting to fail somehow morph into “he hates and completely holds no value for himself”

- donnie’s canon personality gets blurred out and largely replaced with whatever list of Neurodivergent Traits. and i think there’s such a fine line to walk between exploring a character that’s been word of god confirmed as on the spectrum and overwriting what’s canonically there. it’s a hard needle to thread. it also feels like a lot of his canon emotiveness gets left off the table for some reason. bc he does have his moments of flat/deadpan delivery, but a lot of the time he’s honestly very emotive. he has the passion of a theatre kid and the vindictiveness of... also a theatre kid. and the mind of a scientist.

- raph loses so much of his rowdy teen boy energy it’s kind of wild? like interpretations sand off that he’s also impulsive and can be reckless and dumb and LOVES fighting and roughhousing and isn’t the most eloquent person. suddenly there’s this pitch perfect soft boy big bro who would never hurt a fly and always says the exact right supportive thing and singlehandedly raised his 3 brothers (which simultaneously sands off all the nuance of splinter’s issues emotionally connecting with his sons and how that affected all of them). and like i LOVE raph, he’s so full of love and care and anxiety, he clearly has learned to put a lot of work into being aware of his strength and size. but there’s a difference you know?

- mikey is like. where raph gets overparentified by fanon, mikey gets over “family therapist”-ed IMO. the impulsiveness, the goofiness, the powerful emotions including a VERY powerful temper, the flat-out dumb teen boy choices... they get ignored. suddenly there’s this only very sweet and earnest boy who has read a hundred psychology books and runs group family therapy weekly or something. he is crying in his room bc leo and raph are arguing about something. which is so. he IS very sweet and can be very earnest and is full of love! he HAS come in with his opinions and unsolicited advice a couple of times and life coached for the greater good. but there’s a difference between what he does in canon and the role he gets in fanon.

#rottmnt #rise of the tmnt #idk this is not a very eloquent rundown its very hard to explain exactly my vibe #ig the long story short is i feel like a lot of their most interesting and fun qualities get left in the dust #mikey as family therapist is getting under my skin the most rn i think its just so.#for as much as it seems like his brothers try to shelter him (esp raph with his overprotectiveness)..... i just dont see it #i dont see his brothers and definitely not his dad putting their issues on him like that...#him dragging donnie into that one dr feelings session and dragging draxum into a new moral alignment were different #than 'yeah everyone tells mikey their stuff and he has to do the labor of helping with it'#like it just doesnt vibe for me #i think he is very emotionally OPEN on all levels compared to his family #i think he is more likely to share when HE struggles #i dont think raph or leo is sitting with him at 3am like 'it all started when i was 4 and accidentally broke a plate' or what have you idk #it's all so ymmv i do just scroll past stuff i dont vibe with i dont drop hate on it i just #idk dudes its so hard to see the appeal in some of the choices made

if you must hate Gaius at least do it for the right reason (gaslighting Morgana)

#yeah I know I know– the great purge #I think it's a bit unfair to expect him to have single-handedly stopped a murderous tyrant tbh #he did what he had to do to survive #and he carried the guilt of that #also let's not pretend merlin is completely innocent either #he threw the entire magic community under the bus to save arthur's skin #and he also gets accused of being a traitor of his kind a few times #(which I find very interesting. like as a concept)#but yeah gaslighting morgana was bad #gaius #merlin #1k #2k

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots)#Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay”#because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete

I have decided to stop meddling with this piece. It has to be done at some point, and here it is! I'm happy with how it turned out 😁 My last chimpanzee painting was two years ago, so it's time I make another one! Painted in acrylics and touched up with CSP. Shared some process shots too, just below :)

it was very messy.... and the lighting made a HUGE difference in the end!

#chimpanzee #acrylic painting #mixed media #shoutout to my friends in art group chats #your critiques saved me #THANK YOU!#the thing about painting chimpanzees is that youth and adults have such different skin tones #a mother-child piece is... interesting. They don't really blend together #youths have pale skin #while adult chimpanzees have this bluish-black-grey skin.#some still retain a bit of redness #but in a lot of the reference shots I used they look so BLUE when they are standing in strong sunlight #and this piece is in strong sunlight and right up against the blue sky #it was very challenging to put warm light on their cool coloured skin #hope it worked out...

started rewatching trollhunters out of a need of familiarity when everything in my life is new and bad and hard (college.) and now ive redesigned Claire to make her more of a alternative theater kid with the anger issues that they only hint at in the show

ive given her more of a personality than the #Feminist Only Female character in the group ur welcome lol

#art #my art!#trollhunters #claire nuñez #tales of arcadia #toa claire #this drawing is ever so slightly shitty but its okay because im still getting used to my new drawing tablet and also photoshop #also i made her shirt say Papa Skull because i dont atually know what her actual shirt in the show says because we only see 3 letters?#i made her very 2010s blazer into a cropped leather jacket for funziesss #also i made her skin darker and her less skinny because she needs more meat on her bones and her og design is great but her and jim often #look like siblings and thats weird mannnnn #also i accidentally made her look a bit like my partner in terms of build and hairstyle oops #idk im proud of it and i think she looks pretty cuteeee #i just wanted to give her design and characterization more spice because a lot of characters in the show lack those things #but especially claireeee #she is too often relegated to love interest or Girl and she deserves more than that!!#also i think its in character that jim would like mean alt girls that have blue hair and pronouns #he can be a little freak as a treat

I'm curious, in general do we prefer Poison Ivy with Green Skin or Nah?

oh reblog for more responses please lol

#poison ivy #poison ivy dc #dc polls #tumblr polls #polls #dc poison ivy #dc #dc comics #also I find it more interesting when Poison Ivy is very biologically plant #I think I prefer her with green skin I think partially because I like her more plant than human #but also because design-wise I love her red hair as the pop of color contrasting the green #a white ivy can be good tho to break up the green and making the design more visually clear #also I like when she is very plant and like needs sunlight and water and dirt not food lol #(but also she should still have human emotions)#I love Poison Ivy #I love love Ivy #Oh and I really don't like when she's a ginger (orange hair) her hair needs to be bright red #to me her core character traits are 1. her overwhelming and intense love for plants and the environment #2. her care for people (usually restricted to Harley but never underestimate Ivy's motherly instincts)#this trait is usually where the conflict with her character lays #3. her sex appeal this was originally her only trait I'm a gay man so I have less to say about it but I do love her femininity and slay lol #4. probably least important her evilness which is best when it's motivated by one of her other traits I like w #if its not clear I love Poison Ivy and I just put an entire other post in the tags lol #I like when she has cool lesbian aunt vibes #but I also like when she has unhinged plant lady vibes #pamela isley

You have to trust someone at some point, Moiraine.

#the wheel of time #wot on prime #wot edit #moiraine damodred #siuan sanche #lan mandragoran #mygifs #mine: wot #someone probably giffed it already but I wanted to highlight the micro-expressions because this is a masterclass #Rosamund Pike repeats the same slight snarl in the two scenes #And both Daniel Henney and Sophie Okonedo look at her their head bent looking up #because Moiraine is deeply reactive #like raw skin #it's interesting that Moiraine ends the season trusting Rand and Alanna and Verin and Lan and even Lanfear #but not Siuan #I'm very curious about whether or not this will be the stilling/shielding arc of the next season for Moiraine #Siuan was the one she allowed herself to be happy with #the one she trusted #if you remove that trust and haven what is left?#I guess we'll get avalanche Moiraine after all #also Siuan's face oh my heart is shattering all over again #she is broken #she gambled and it did cost her everything

lover, don't touch me // leave, i am a danger to you // but ooh, i hunger for you

#this is leona's vampire lover audra #i guess you could say the first time they met was when audra nearly killed her in a blood lust because she hadnt fed in so long #idk how to describe it well but audra suddenly stopped devouring her when leona looked at her with no fear in her eyes #but looked at audra like she was something to worship #she whispered that audra was so beautiful even as her own blood was splattered between them and staining her lips #leona had never seen someone or something so perfect and powerful #power that she wanted and knew exactly how to get when audra whimpered over the slightest bit of praise #i never talk about them but i am CONSTANTLY thinking about them <3 #some fun little facts is leona killed her husband in cold blood because he was pitiful and boring #she married the first person to show any interest in her just to get away from her family #he would have been a perfectly good husband for anyone else #but the best part of their marriage was when she stabbed him in the stomach 47 times and felt his blood splatter against her skin #for audra OBVIOUSLY had to make another oc who would do anything to be loved even if it means destroying herself #audra was turned very suddenly and without any guidance #she murdered her lover without even realizing it she opened her eyes to find them splattered across every surface of the room #because of that shes done everything she can to protect herself from others even if it means starving herself of blood #until she goes into a frenzy #leona is the first person she has ever willingly fed off of #idk if willingly is the right word since leona practically begs her to do it #i really want to remake leona now.........#i like how leona looks but i want her to match audra better #mysims #the sims 4 #simblr #sims 4 screenshots #sims 4 cas #ts4 cas #sims 4 edit #ts4
