Hi there I personally would love to hear about your Max is a Webby prophet please and thank you
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN
Okay first of all Max looks at the audience and camera in pretty much every scene he's in at least once I had to make a collage to get these examples in here and I still whittle them down
You know who else explicity looked at and sang at the audience in a metatextual way??
Hannah
Hannah, on some level, knows the narrative. She knows the world's nature and the nature of a musical being a 'time loop' of sorts, which is why she sings of tomorrow never coming. A dawn never breaking.
Webby's the Queen of the White, right? And what is dawn, really, if not bringing in the light of day to the darkness of night?
Both characters seem to share an intrinsic understanding of their world, whether comprehensible or not, and on some level are aware of its function. There's a chaos to their worlds and they always end in an apocalypse, but it's all practiced. It's all a loop. (roz and guil moment tbh)
But what I'm proposing, is that Max is a Hannah gone wrong. He can see the audience, understand the narrative and his place in it ("Don't need no-one to tell me, high school will be my peak, so I'm willing to take advantage" ) (" you can leave, but you won't, stay in your seat") but doesn't have the full scope of awareness that Hannah does. Hannah can see Webby and understand the story straight from the source, while Max pieces it together from the audience. Maybe Webby tried to explain things through them and Max just horribly misinterpreted it. Maybe he knows exactly what he's doing and has given up trying to find another solution. Maybe he never had a chance to escape the web in the first place.
Maybe webby gives him directions, tried to explain things to him, tried to get him to see the order beyond the world like Hannah, but it just never landed as well. What could really have spawned a god complex more than getting a glimpse at the True Nature of The World and knowing you're the one to make it happen. But Webby is the queen of the White, so it only seems to reason she brings Light to Darkness.
So not only am I going to say that Max is a Webby prophet, but also I ask you, where do you think his god complex came from?
(also he like deadass controlled the lights like straight up just made it darker the bitch controlled the lights why does no-one else care about that but me-)
TL;DR: Max is a Webby prophet currently stuck on the recieving end of the world's worst game of Divine Interpretation telephone and is taking it Really Well 👍
#T-shirt that says: I'm not here to make sense I'm here to be horribly self-indulgent#He's a Webby prophet and doing a really bad job at because Hannah and max narrative parallels#Do yiu see my vision#Not to mention how both of them came from shitty households which could just add another parallel to them#Anyway lol#Starkid#hatchetfield#hatchetverse#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#Max jagerman#hannah foster#webby hatchetfield#I guess lmao#Rattling max around in a jar rn

Not enough people discuss the cast of DuckTales 2017, and so I think I should. Almost every single casting choice is perfect, and I am going to gush about them a little bit.
DANNY PUDI!!!- I freaking love him. I started watching this show because Danny Pudi was in it. Him as Huey is so perfect because Pudi does decent in to madness so well. Also Autism. My Community era bled perfectly in to this.
Ben Schwartz and Bobby Moynihan- Less to say about these too, but they absolutely slay as well. They were also perfect casting choices, because Schwartz does Dewey’s hyper-chaos so well, and Moynihan can do Louie’s smugness perfectly.
Kate Micucci- Absolutely. That is exactly how Webby is meant to sound. High pitched and over excited. Webby isn’t my favorite character but she may be the voice that I could never see replaced.
David Tennant- I was literally shocked to find out that he was Scrooge. He does the accent so well, for a very overdone Scottish accent. This was such a funny role for him to take, because it’s not at all like what he usually does (serious live action stuff) but he still put his whole Tennussy in to it.
Jim Rash- He has a very distinct voice, so even though I didn’t know he was in the show I immediately knew who he was. Usually this would take me out of it a little, but Rash was a really good choice for this character so I didn’t even mind. He does “mildly insane guy” very well, and that’s exactly what Gearloose is.
John Gemberling- A weird one that you may not recognize, but he plays Doofus Drake. And he is really good at being Doofus Drake. Another one that I probably couldn’t imagine with a different voice.
Beck Bennet- He always sounds like an idiot, and usually plays one in SNL. So he was a good choice for playing an idiot. Perfect for Launchpad.
Lin-Manuel Miranda- Similar to Bennet, his voice just sounds like he’s meant to play that character. I don’t know, and maybe it’s from Hamilton, but Miranda’s voice just sounds really pathetic. Pathetic in a wet cat sort of way. He’s perfect to play a guy who has really know idea what he’s doing being a superhero, and also just a nerd ass science guy.
Finally: Tony Anselmo- He is Donald Duck in literally everything, so this is less about good casting and more about appreciation. Anselmo nails it. Absolutely perfect. I don’t know what he sounds like when he’s not doing the Donald Duck voice, but I have to assume he really works hard on voice acting. He slays, and I only wish that they hadn’t covered up his voice in certain episodes, because I genuinely enjoy listening to it for some reason. It grew on me. He can also do different emotions very well, from fury to love and appreciation. Which is most impressive because he sounds like he’s speaking through a kazoo. 10/10 would Tony Anselmo again.
#ducktales#DuckTales 2017#I Don’t know if I should tag every character I mentioned#but I think if I followed one of the tags I would want to hear my fav character’s voice mentioned#voice acting#*inhales* okay here we go#huey duck#dewey duck#louie duck#webby vanderquack#scrooge mcduck#gyro gearloose#Doofus Drake#launchpad mcquack#fenton crackshell cabrera#gizmoduck#Donald Duck#okay that was a lot#also if I didn’t mention anyone it’s not because I think they’re bad#it’s just that I forgot#like I forgot about Beakley#oops#she’s good too

"I'm so happy that we found each other."
If you haven’t read WizardoftheRainbow’s weblena fic, What You'll Find In The Night, please do. This wonderful story resonated with my soul on many very personal levels, not the least of which was the astronomical aspect of it, which spurred me on to draw this post-fic picture as a tribute, which turned out to be one of my most favorite things I’ve ever drawn. Really wanted to capture the splendor and happiness of the night sky, as the stellar jewel box the fic mentions, and of the love between these two love birds.
Anyway, the fic is fantastic, it’s cozy, it’s perfect. 💜✨
P.S. If you want to also listen to a perfect weblena (and also dellumbra) song, I recommend “Satellite” by Lena (yes, that’s really the artist’s name!). I listened to it soooo many times while drawing this!
Drawing without title + alternate shadowy-title versions below the cut!
#DuckTales#Webby Vanderquack#Lena Sabrewing#weblena#my art#(Lena's not a Sabrewing in this but that's just my tag for her so)#I put so many little details into this both from the fic and my own little touches#(potential but minor fic spoilers ahead)#got a little of Lena's pleasant flashlight glow from ch. 5#gave them both pride bracelets that Huey made for them post-fic (in my own continuation of the story in my head)#(lesbian for Webby + trans for Lena (based on that moment between Lena and Huey during the picnic))#gave Webby the hearts sweater and orange sweatpants mentioned in the fic at one point (but in different chapters XD)#and her new blue hair#gave Lena the flannel that Webby gives her#added some cookies baked by Louie and a thermos of hot chocolate and Webby's stargazing journal and backpack#(and I gave the thermos a little NASA flair ;))#in the sky: included (most of) the constellation Orion#plus some of Orion's nebulae#the 'smiling moon' from the end of ch. 3#Jupiter and Mars and the star Sirius#the Milky Way#a meteor and a teeny tiny galaxy that I personally adore#and a touch of zodiacal light bc I'm a space nerd like that#and of course they're on top of their stargazing hill surrounded by the Inkwoods#very fitting that if nothing else this piece was a lesson in shading and shadows XD

Is the reason why you seek to kill Alice Woodward in some timelines because she possesses the ability to harm your true forms? We all saw what she did to Blinky
Fuck you I was having an off fucking day ok!?
Anyone can hurt me and my brothers if we’re in any form that isn’t our true form

Ok so! I have zero plan for how I’m writing this (probably a bad thing) but here is a post explaining (??) Angela Gearlooose and her backstory/lore !
This is Lengthyyyyyyyy I didn’t mean for it to be but yeah
for starters, she exists within the headcanon/au in which Scrooge is Gyro’s adoptive father and where Gyro lived and grew up with Donald, Della and Scrooge. Angela was hatched before Della had and hatched Huey, Dewey and Louie. Della and Donald were ecstatic to be her aunt/uncle but no one was as excited as Scrooge was to become a Grandpa.
The plan was that Gyro would raise Angel in the mansion alongside HDL when they hatched with the help of Scrooge, Donald and Della but this did not happen after the Spear Of Selene. Obviously they all went their separate ways (Gyro obviously still works with McDuck Ind. but his close relationship to his family is no longer intact) and didn’t really have any contact with each other (I say really as for Gyro, Scrooge is just of arms reach but again aren’t as close).
Gyro raises Angel on his own somewhat and I’ve played with multiple ideas which I’ll talk about but I’ll talk about the original ideas first!
The first and original idea was that if Gyro was far to busy, he would drop Angel off at the mansion and she would spend the day there under the watchful eyes of Beakley (i stan Gyro and Beakley friendship they are real, in this I’d imagine Gyro and Bentina already know each other -with him being a McDuck ofc- and she is quite fond of him, their relationship being kind of grandmother-grandson / mother-son if that makes sense) . While at the mansion, she would also make and be good friends with Webby (I think Webby is a bit older than the triplets canonically so they’d be the same age).
Whenever at the Mansion, Angel tries her best to stay out of Scrooge’s way, she doesn’t know her relation to him yet but she feels as if she’s a bit of a burden in the mansion and that she’s always intruding when she is there so she tries to keep her head down and be respectful. As for Scrooge, I feel he wouldn’t want to address Angela, like let her know who he is, build an actual relationship at all (yet) because are you kidding me bro didn’t even do that for HDL the only reason that happened was because of Beakley and their trouble making. Not to say that I don’t think Beakley wouldn’t urge him to get to know Angel (she probably would as like I said she did the same with the triplets) but yeah Angel and Scrooge keep their distance and Angel doesn’t know how or even the fact that they’re connected.
The way she comes across the knowledge that he is her Grandfather is through Webby (because she knows everything McDuck). The way it went in my original lore explanation I made on my Instagram highlights was really lame but briefly (although yes this is basically it) it was:
Webby: how come you get so quiet and reclusive whenever Mr McDuck is around?
Angela: I don’t know, he’s an adult I don’t know, it’s respectful I guess.
Webby: wait what? But he’s your Grandpa
Angela: he’s my what.
(Sucky ik but let’s just roll w it for now 😭😭)
She nervously and quietly asks Gyro about it and Gyro’s shocked because he didn’t really like tell her much about their past and other family as it basically has just been the two together as a family (looking back now it’s kinda dumb I had this because Gyro is a genius and his daughter is friends with the McDuck obsessed kid also Angela literally sometimes stays at the home of said McDuck but whatever). His explanation is just a vague ‘I’m sorry I’ve kept so much about our family from you, it’s hard to explain, something bad happened a long time ago and that’s why their family is like this (mysterious n broken lol) and Scrooge doesn’t mean to be the way he is and it’s just complicated’. I imagined that as a child and because she doesn’t know a lot about the situation and she doesn’t know any better, Angel would have like a tiny voice in her head that’s trying to convince her that she’s to blame for the rapture of her family but yeah 👍👍👍 that was the original idea.
One of the ideas I’ve played with was Launchpad helping Gyro out with raising Angel and become like an uncle figure to her (bc I also believe in Lp gyro friendship 💪💪). I feel Gyro’d just want to to do everything on his own (bc 1) being so hurt from everything and 2) being so stubborn) and, bc Lp is nearby -him working for Scrooge as well- Launchpad wants to be friends and eventually learns about Angela and wants to help. At first it’d be just Lp offering small favours (like offering to drive, hold things -perhaps if Gyro’s got a lot on his hands literally idk 😭😭- offering to bring things down to the lab, offering to buy him anything he needs, offering to watch Angel for a sec, etc.), to which Gyro refuses time and time again until one day he reluctantly accepted, much to Launchpad’s surprise. With Lp watching Angel Gyro would be extremely reluctant and hesitant (giving Launchpad’s clumsy nature) but he lets it happen and nothing goes wrong (maybe a broken cup or something that makes Gyro freak out if Angel’s ok for a bit before the reassurance that she’s fine from Lp) and he let’s Lp look after her more and they become closer and very much like family, the first family Gyro’s had kinda of like??? ‘Around’ ig since the spear of Selene
There’s more ideas but this post is already too long so ig I’ll talk abt it another day
So this is it lol 😭😭 this is probably really bad bc I don’t usually do stuff like this but like I realise I never actually share my oc lore to any places so it’s good have something down ig
Also I said in a post before that Gyro still works an unhealthy amount (coping ig) but finds a way to do it while caring for Angel I’ll link it here when I can lol
Edit: forgot to add but Angel spends most her freetime in the lab w her dad (idk if that’s important but ya)

Here a fic I typed (it’s under the cut). Im sure this is incredibly ooc
Wiggly watched as Hannah looked around wildly. Her eyes bulged with terror when she realised she was somewhere unknown.
She would be a fun toy to play with, Wiggly thought. Although not his favorite, the fact that she was Webby’s made her infinitely more fun than if she was just another citizen of Hatchetfield. It was rare he got to play with her. Usually Webby would snatch her away before he got a chance to. Even now, he wouldn’t be able to play for long because of the possibility of the black and white absorbing her.
Luckily for Wiggly, she’d been distracted with other realities, and he brought Hannah into Drowsy Town before she could call for help. Wiggly wasn’t even sure this Hannah knew where she was.
He wasn’t sure if that would make her more or less fun.
While he’d been thinking to himself, Hannah had started walking around.
“Webby?” she asked quietly, as if expecting an answer. Wiggly almost laughed to himself at her stupidity, instead bopping his head in excitement in the darkness.
He didn’t fully know Webby’s limits, but what he did know was that she wouldn’t be able to reach Hannah this far down. He doubted he would even be able to sense her presence here. She would definitely have a few guesses as to who took Hannah though. Webby would be on high alert for a long time after this and it would be unlikely that he’d see Hannah again for a long time after this.
His cheer soon turned into annoyance at the prolonged thought of Webby.
Webby was a stupid bitch, he thought, pushing down any stray feelings. She always thought the Lords in Black were too cruel to mortals and where did she end up? She used them as toys too, even if she played with them differently.
Didn’t she?
Wiggly’s tentacles squirmed at the thought, in what had to be annoyance.
That was what Hannah was to Webby after all, wasn’t it? Webby wouldn’t have talked with her if she wasn’t her toy, in Wiggly’s opinion. It wasn’t just Hannah either! She’d talked with her sister too, until Lex had grown out of it.
What made the way she played with her toys any different from the rest of the lords? At least they’d never told her about how she was playing wrong.
Wiggly was snapped out of his rumination by Hannah tripping over her own feet. He shoved away the bad thoughts and decided that now was a perfect time to make an entrance.
“Hello, Han-nah,” he said joyfully, watching her recoil in fear. He let the laughter bubbling in his chest out in a wheezy giggle. He knew that she hated that laugh in particular.
To her, he must have appeared as eyes glowing in the dark, the only light visible. Wiggly wondered if the way she pressed her eyes shut had something to do with that or if it was just because of him.
He could hear her whispering to herself, “Please help, Webby.”
He snickered again. “Your little pally-wal isn’t here. You’re being a rotten little banana,” he saw her flinch, “ignoring me in my own domain.”
To his disappointment, Hannah didn’t talk back, scooting backwards as he waited for a response. It almost reminded him of the way Webby acted whenever she got in trouble…
He ignored the thought the best he could, instead focusing on her expression of fear. It was so pitiful that it stirred up something in his chest. It made him feel good again.
Mortal faces always looked so funny when they were feeling something.
Their words were even funnier though.
“What? Don’t have anything to say to your new fwendy-wen?”
Hannah didn’t respond, instead beginning to shake. That wasn’t an unusual response for someone seeing him for the first time. Boring. He thought Webby’s toy would be more fun this time.
Maybe Wiggly should interact with her in her world again. She was way funnier that time…
“If you’re going to be boring, I might as well feed you to Nibbly. I’m sure it’d love eating Webby’s favorite.”
He wasn’t really planning on doing that. Webby was pissed last time he’d killed Hannah specifically and had interfered with both him and the other lords' plans far more after that. He didn’t need them blaming him for being unable to start an apocalypse again.
“I could eat you right now too, Han-nah. I think you’d taste like an annoying little banana.”
She still didn’t respond to him. Wiggly huffed in annoyance at her lack of reactions throughout the interaction. Hannah would be absorbed into the black and white if she stayed much longer.
“If you can’t entertain me, then you might as well just leave Drowsy Town,” he said before throwing her out of the black and white.
That version of Hannah was so annoying. Wiggly made a mental note to not take any Hannahs that were so boring again. Maybe he should go bother his siblings. He was sure any of his attempts to interfere with the world would be interrupted by Webby while she calmed down.
#team starkid#wiggog y'wrath#hannah foster#webby was mentioned#fanfic#hatchetfield#idk how to write#hope it’s good though ^^#I’m not posting this on ao3 cause my irls know what it’s called lol

Warning for mentions of a car crash and memory issues
I have read enough articles to know I may never actually know what the moment of impact was like because it very well might have never been recorded in my memory (human brains amirite?).
Regardless I'm going to try to figure it out solely because I want the whole story, even if it's fuzzy. We're too determined to get the whole story to move on quickly.
#tw car crash#tw car accident#I've got a webby level board of what happened and I'm still trying to figure it out#car accident mention#thankfully my friend was driving even if that meant I took more damage#I SWEAR IM OK GUYS#i just dislike not knowing what happened in a very important event#and the lure of knowledge is too powerful

You make great art!
Your opinions on Vi’s alternate designs?
I could stare at her all day. Perfection.
Design wise? Her final one is (chef's kiss) SUCH a good balance of showing and contrasting Violet’s personality.
And the alternates show why!
She’s a nerd. Shorthand for that is usually glasses, as seen in almost all her alternative designs. (Think Velma from Scooby Doo.) Not a bad trope.
But at the same time, does her character need a visual short hand for smartness?
Just the way Violet SPEAKS tells you she’s a nerd. She uses big words, and calls people by their full names. When we first meet her it’s in a LIBRARY and her and Webby instantly start switching between various ancient languages.
We don’t need glasses to know she smart and a nerd.
So unless the show is willing to commit to some moments or gags where Violet loses her glasses / takes them off specifically not to see something / cleans them regularly as a character tick (think Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Conservation of Character Design says get rid of them.
Which the show creators did.
(also her introduction scene includes Quackfaster, and I appreciate that, instead of them both wearing glasses- a thing that isn't actually about smartness literally it's just wanting to be able to see- the thing Violet shares with the Terrifying Librarian is... hair tie / hair band, including the color thereof.)
(It's a more personal choice. And it's message is "Practical")
Next is clothing style. Most of her alternates have a more fancy, ‘outfit’ kinda look to them. Like this is something she put together to get a specific Look. Nothing wrong with that. Nerds can be fashionable (Ellie Woods queen thereof).
But… there isn’t anything in Violet’s personality, story, or situation that connects to that idea.
Her things are Books, Learning, Forbidden Magics, Honorable Conduct in Contests and Duels, Adopting Stray Shadow Teens Off The Street As Her New Sister, Brining Pie To A Sleepover, Smacking Invading Moon People With A Spiked Mace, and Using Tibetan Breathing Techniques To Survive Eating Three Bowls Of Deadly Hot Spices In A Row.
The closest she gets to caring about her appearance is when her and Webby (and then her and Lena) put on gruesome costume make up and prosthetics for fun.
So a snazzy outfit, while cool, doesn’t really… jive with the vibe of Violet Sabrewing.
Nerd clothes, like a vest, isn’t needed the same reason glasses aren’t. Also the details would be a pain to draw over and over again. Even Webby’s clothes don’t have that much little bits in them.
High collars again look cool… but Lena’s already got that covered. Stand them next to each other, and where’s the contrast?
Violet wouldn’t “pop” next to Lena if they had that on top of Violet’s dark color scheme and Lena’s dark sweater.
Wearing the same thing (to show characters are connected to each other) works best when either the color or the style DOES contrast sharply
(Huey Louie Dewy and May June wearing basically the same thing as their siblings, but in very different colors)
(side note I’ll make a separate thing for someday: Lena and Webby with button down collar shirts worn under something, but with different style, effect, and colors)
The leggings are seen on two of Violets alternates and I think that got picked for Meta Simplicity and also In-Character Practicality.
They’re athletic, the kind of thing that isn’t at risk of snagging on stuff (befitting an eventual Senior Junior Woodchuck), and the dark color balances out with her hair. And they’re VERY easy to draw. Very good!
Sweater.
Sweater with turtle neck (unless it’s one of those very loose ones) usually gets used as shorthand for “Comfort over Appearance” (Velma again, contrasting Daphne)
And in this case it’s a contrast with Lena who LOOKS like she doesn’t care at first glance but actually has put maybe the most effort into her outfit (sweater stolen from favorite band, dyed her hair, wears bright colored converse in a world where most people go bare foot)
and Webby, who is wearing basically a uniform (picked by her Granny or by herself while daydreaming of experiencing Normal School Things???)
So to balance out Lena’s rebel teen punk look, and Webby’s prim and proper look, Violet has a comfort and practicality look.
BUT!
They kept the eyeshadow.
A VERY GOOD MOVE.
See, eyeshadow on someone who wears an ‘outfit’ (Lena, Daisy) says fashion minded and image conscious.
(this includes Beakly the former spy taking up the role of grandmother).
Eyeshadow on someone who wears a non-snazzy turtle neck and legging with her hair tied away from her face in a simple ponytail says something else completely-
It says, Violet likes eyeshadow, and that is the ONLY reason she wears it.
Either she doesn’t notice that it’s unusual to do this, or she doesn’t care.
THAT is showing her personality.
If it’s that she doesn’t know it’s unusual, then that fits with her in the Woodchuck Challenge not knowing about smack talk until Lena teaches her, and in Friendship Hates Magic brining a pie to a sleepover, and in The Split Sword of Swanstantine wondering in the middle of a fight if she should change in to more occasion appropriate clothes instead of, you know, running.
Smart yes, savvy to social norms? Not so much.
If it’s that she doesn’t care, then that fits with her direct and blunt way of getting what she wants out of situations, never mind others' objections-
-Instantly running to Webby’s loft so she can see the picture of the demon lord and confirm the crookedness of his fang, repeatedly pressing for using the runes to try contacting the shadow realm despite Webby’s nervous boggle deflections, happily employing smack talk so she can learn it properly without stopping to ask what it’s effect on her competitor might be..
So the clothes of her final design all work really, REALLY well telling new parts of Violet’s personality, without just repeating what we’d instantly know from listening to her talk for half a minute.
Hair.
One of her alternates has loose floofy hair, which I imagine is what canon her would look like without the hair tie, and it rocks.
But the hair tie is kinda important.
Violet isn’t a book nerd who never leaves the library- She’s active, she gets in the thick of things, she’s happy to jump in a fight, and she’s a Junior Woodchuck. Practicality, again, makes more sense. Keeping her hair out of her face works with her character.
Her little flop of bangs is really fun to me too because… well…. It reminds me of Lena.
Again, it’s different enough to pop while the two stand together, but it’s there. Lena has flopped bang thing. Violet has a curly bang thing. They are sisters. It’s cute!
Also helps her silhouette stand out more against Webby and Lena, who’s hair is pretty smooth and down in general. Gives her this sharp thing that moves around and makes her extra easy to pick out, even when you just see part of her head. Important for a main side-character.
If you're going to add detail, add it to the silhouette -> very big visual payoff.
Colors! COLORS!!!!
Already mentioned the pants balancing her hair nicely, dark on top, dark below, but then there’s her eyeshadow and sweater!
They ALSO tie her with Lena!!!!
Lena’s shirt, hidden under her sweater, is pale blue- the same color her friendship magic is later- it’s the color of Lena being happy and being connected to people.
And Violet’s eyeshadow, is also blue? And Lena’s eyeshadow is purple! Like Violet!
Eyeshadow! That thing both her and Lena wear, them the Sabrewing Sisters, but Webby doesn’t!
That’s so cool! That’s a way to show a connection between them AND their personal tastes, before they even become family! And once they ARE family it helps them visually LOOK like one!
Also, Violet’s green sweater?
Again we’ve got the color contrast compliment thing (huey red dewy blue louie green) this time with Team Magic: Webby pink, Lena blue, Violet green. It helps them feel… individual in scenes they’re all in frame together, while also making them look good next to each other.
The choice of all of team magic’s colors to be either more pastel or duller than the Primary Colors Trio also lets all six of them work together visually, like in Nightmare on Killmoter Hill.
But again, LENA.
Lena has two other bright colors tucked into her design, aside from her pale blue.
The pink in her hair (visual cue to Webby) and her lime green shoes. Green. GREEN. It’s enough of an important color for it to ALSO be in her friendship bracelet.
And it’s the main color Violet, her adopted little sister, wears.
Oh my heart….
Finally, it’s looks like they tested out ideas of Violet being some kind of, parrot maybe, or wren, or such.
I love her being a humming bird for one very queer reason.
Female violet sabrewing humming birds are actually green, not purple.
And Violet.
Is purple.
Just like her dads.
(also name puns for the win yeeeeessss)
So on the whole, looking at the designs Violet could have had, I guess I’d say they’d make nice occasional outfits for her...
but if you’re going to make her an important supporting member of the cast and if you have to draw her over and over again, almost always with the same other two characters… and if those characters are Webby and Lena...
Then they picked exactly the right design to go with <3

hey so like. when I saw this post some days ago I was like "How the hell did you come to that conclusion" bc. it's amazing and yet somewhat funny. but then. like. I thought. have you seen how weirdly sexual Wiggly's cult is in black friday??????????
I've analyzed a while ago (im still doin it) that small aspect of Black Friday where the cult just happens to, like, just be like that, a bit. There's something about how the worship for Wiggly (And Linda too, let me just say) that is just somehow way too sexual that you'd expect?????' if that makes sense.
I can't talk much about the other lords bc. wiggly is the one ive analyzed the most of n is the one I can talk about the most so my contribution to whatever op's post is (i love it btw) is gonna be about him.
So, of course we might think that if Wiggly was indeed represented by a fetish, its would be tentacles. But look. I BEG TO DIFFER. Wiggly's fetish representation is findom (or at least in Black Friday). Let me start with the most obvious part about the relationship of the cult, the prophet and Wiggly when it comes to the sexual part of it all: The whole Wiggle song. The song is like, so fuckin sexual, mostly in choreography but basically each part has an aspect of it. The choreography, the worship parts of it all, the sudden moans during the song, and hell, even the red lighting. It's hard to see for how the it was shoot in the proshot but if you look closely, right after Linda says the line "To prepare for his birth" the choreograpy literally consists of hip thrusting the damn box the cult members are holding and then moaning. It couldn't be more fucking obvious.
Now, why am I saying it's findom? Bc the whole cult is willing to spend all of their money on wiggly and that brought them to submission on the prophet and wiggly himself.
Wiggly uses his power to take over the shopper's minds and uses it to make them want the doll, even if they have no actual reason to get it such as other people. They were driven just to be part of Wiggly's influence and it was for them to spend anything for the doll, their money and even their free will as humans. Wiggly doesn't need the money, but knew he could find a way to get people under his influence by selling a product, bc to quote, it's the only comfort they have left. And with that, Wiggly takes it to a limit and makes them spend most if not everything of what they have.
Wiggly COULD be tentacle porn, but to me it's findom. He is motivated to the greed of people and takes advantage of it to get him to have his birth in Hatchetfield during Black Friday. Even the whole birth thing could be part of this if you think hard enough about it.
I swear it makes more sense to me but I dont know how to explain shit. so like. yeag.
"The Lords in Black represent the senses" this, "the Lords in Black represent capitalism" that, you're all wrong, the Lords in Black represent fetishes. Wiggly represents tentacle porn, Nibbly represents vore, Tinky represents age play, Blinky represents voyeurism, and Pokey represents roleplay
#wiggly is prob jus lik that#also can i mention that the 'webby is kink shaming' reblogs made me giggle

Okay gonna post about the potential lord in black outfit adopts again now that it's 1. not night and 2. i've thought about it more
Each of the outfits would be based on the aesthetics of each lord (so pokeys would be theatre themed, wigglys would have a royalty/winter theme, etc)
I'll do 5 outfits per lord and also have them be $5 each. y'know cause 5 lords
If this does get enough attention/interest i'll also throw in some bonus sets of 3 based on Webby and Wilbur
