Hmmm just gonna spit this headcanon out in text post form since A. I don't think I could exposit it well enough in image form and B. It's not actually textually/thematically substantiated and I don't like actually staking my stuff on just vibes alone*

But anyway. I'd say it's pretty evident that all the islanders forgot their names, right? King obviously. Because why the hell else would he do that, but also Siffrin No Middle Names No Last Name.

They're 'pretty sure' they've 'always' been 'Just Siffrin' 'as long as they can remember'. It's a pretty cruel twist of the knife to say that they don't even get to keep their birth name as a memento, which is why I'm saying as such.

My utterly unsubstantiated claim is I think it'd be cute to say that Sisyphus *is* the name Siffrin initially picked, assuming the myth of King Sisyphus is recontextualised as idk, just a play or something in the setting. But I like the idea of Siffrin going 'oh shit 🫵 he's just like me fr' at a tortured fictional character long before the irony kicks in.

As for how Sisyphus -> Siffrin. I think that chronic mumbler and emotional doormat Sif just did not correct people who misheard the name during their time travelling, and went through enough places with incompatible phonologies (pronounceable sounds in the language) without ever really writing it down that it just got kinda. Changed until it was unrecognisable, and Siffrin just went with it until the earlier pronunciations slipped out of their swiss-cheese brain. And they just kinda don't remember any of that.

Also, something something the horrid realisation that Siffrin also named themselves after a King. Just not as blatantly.

*(though I think there's something here about Siffrin, a guy from a belief system that seems to thoroughly disincentivise autonomy and self-motivated choice continuously having their hand forced to make changes/choices they don't want but have no choice but to... It's not solid enough to really back this up tbh, but it informs it.)

Anyway.

#theres also something one of my french-speaker friends said about siffrin's official pronounciation being the feminine way to pronounce -in?#which i dont know enough about to really corroborate and theyre busyyyy and havent started the game yet so i cant really ask #im sure someone else has already voiced this easy-to-come-up-with headcanon anyway but just in case nobody has i decided to post it #isat #isat spoilers #in stars and time #isat siffrin #isat loop #i also personally picture sif (and loop especially) being more hostile to the concept of changing themselves after The Encounter #both of them being big grudge-holders and that 'want' to control your own destiny being clearly against how they interpret the universe #as for whether they should be so hostile? probably not! but they appear to be anxious in fear of some kind of divine retribution should #they like. ever even dare to Want. and uh. well. that certainly went well for Loop. not sure they'd be gung-ho to do it again #so Loop being able to go 'oh well it wasn't my REAL name' as a salve for having to make a new identity AGAIN....#while sif is explicitly clinging to it as an anchor for Who They Are If Nothing Else.. they can upset each other and also mirabelle i think #lucabytetalks

To me Agent Stone represents that small shed of humanity Robotnik has left, the one he denies but can't seem to let go of. That irrational attachment and desire for companionship.

And I think Sonic 3 will put that humanity to the test.

#sonic movie 3 #sonic movie #robotnik #dr. robotnik #agent stone #I don't think he's redeemable or anything (he loves being evil too much and Stone is on board)#but he's not completely detached #Stone is what anchors Robotnik to the rest of humanity #and now with Gerald...well....we know what Gerald usually wants at this point

the thing that interests me about kidquisitor is that if you have like a 12 year old fantasy protagonist that’s kind of normal but if you have two installments of dark fantasy about adults and then you open up the third installment with a 12 year old then you know shit is fucked even if the characters themselves, both the 12 year old and those around them, do not necessarily know or want to recognise that they are in the wrong genre for this

#im like mildly serious about this being a concept that could work for me i will be stewing it #ive been thinking abt like civilian/non-combatant inquisitors #bc its always frustrated me that theres no reason for the person who gets the anchor to be a combat expert you just kind of Are and dont #earn it. and the herald being a child kind of pushes that to the natural extreme #it pushes a lot of these characters to their natural extreme #in a way that’s fun to engage with when the non-existence of children is one of the things that rlly lets inquisition down thematically #well both da2 and dai actually but handling the mage conflict post dao has always been severely let down #by the absence of children being visually present #and the world in general actually not just the mage conflict #dao’s world is richer for having children present and consequences are starker #anyway end ramble

I've had Ludovicas girlfriend on the brain for months and finally sketched her out. I see her as the opposite to machete in that she has dark colours and softer shapes. Her ears and facefur kinda blend together and she gets big soft browneyes..

.

#you've had Ludovica's girlfriend stuck in your brain for months??#oh no now I feel kind of bad about being so vague and noncommittal about her design and personality and everything #I should've made up my mind ages ago #I like her expression here #she looks like a calm and quiet but no nonsense type of lady #at least to me I mean #I'd love to make her uniformly black/dark grey #but I know from experience that it would make her facial details and expressions hard to see #it's entirely possible to make it work but it takes some extra effort #adding even a small focal point (some kind of marking or lighter eyes for example) to anchor the viewer's attention helps a lot #I'm rambling sorry #I think about her often but keep going in circles #but the same thing happened with Ludovica and her design so I'm optimistic that this one will sort itself out eventually as well #I'm flattered ypu find her interesting! I promise I'm working on it #gift art #featherfrond #own characters

One other reason why I'm more inclined toward Buck & Tommy? They understand each other's line of work, but they are NOT working in the same firehouse. They WON'T be constantly attached to the hips all day at work and outside of work. Just like Hen, Bobby and Chimney do have their significant others outside the 118 firehouse, I would prefer for Buck to have a significant other outside the 118 firehouse, too. Remember how Hen basically said Buck doesn't have anyone outside the 118? That's a potential difference and improvement Tommy could make for Buck.

#bucktommy #tevan #kinley #evan buckley #tommy kinard #911 #911 abc #911 musings #my otp is buck x happiness #tommy is a promising candidate concerning happiness #and i am all in for the cuteness and the fluff and how both could be each others shoulder to lean on #i genuinely think buck's significant other (even if its not tommy) should be a woman or a man who's not part of the 118 #because we have seen how insanely attached buck is to the 118 already #he'd do well with an anchor outside the 118 #aside from his big sis maddie

Belated Vere birthday art…but it's drawn by my Hound OC, Alon.

Alon: Vere did a real bang up job with those birthday portraits, I reckon he deserves some nice art for himself, too. So for our favourite foxy's birthday, I drew him this! Ta-da! *presents to the others* Leander: Oh! :D ...Who is that? Alon: It's Vere! :D Leander: Oh. Ais: ... Ais: Why is his ass on fire? Alon: Wh—That’s his TAIL! D:< Mhin: Is he...strangling a fish? Alon: No! He's enjoying a nice glass— Mhin: Of fish? Alon: A nice glass of fish-free fruit tea! Kuras: I can't deny the demon horns suit his character, but I doubt he would appreciate that specific exercise in artistic liberty. Alon: Those are his ears! D: Kuras: ...Ah. Mhin: Then why does he have three of them? Alon: And that's a party hat—Y'know what? None of you appreciate art!

*later, presenting it to Vere*

Vere: Why is my ass on fire? Alon: That's—! *defeated sigh* 'Cause you've got a smoking hot ass.

The birthday drawing:

#touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved vere #touchstarved leander #touchstarved ais #touchstarved mhin #touchstarved kuras #touchstarved oc #my oc #myoc #alon the hound #and I feel like that would be another death to add to alon's list of hypothetical non-canonical deaths by vere #one of the inspirations for this was the scene of sokka drawing appa. another was that one clip of a news anchor with the police sketch.#I think kuras is quietly delighted by the drawing #honestly maybe vere as well. maybe. he appreciates handmade gifts right?#mhin offered to take the drawing if vere didn't want it.#alon: “you'd actually want one o' my drawings?” :D #mhin: “sure. I need something for target practice.”#alon: >:O #it's actually harder than I thought it would be to draw in an art style you'd imagine a character to have #maybe one day I'll redraw all of this as a comic but for now #happy birthday vere! <3

I know hardly anything about Moral Orel (except for a couple small things from a friend who LOVES it)

But the guy you drew (Reverend Putty?) looks cool! I'd like to see more art of him, if you ever make it I mean

YOU DON'T GOTTA TELL ME TWICE-

You don't understand how much this stupid old man makes my brain buzz aaaaaaugh!!!!!! He's so stupid so silly so pathetic. This dang SHOW.

#Moral Orel #Reverend Putty #Reverend Rod Putty #Rod Putty #moral orel fanart #Moral Orel Reverend Putty #I am once again assuring yall this isn't the only art I do now I swear just need to get it out of my system!#the show really struck a cord with me! And I had such a genuine blast watching it (you know until it got really dark but it was good!)#Reverend Putty was my anchor in some of the heavier episodes when he was in them #ANYWAY!!!! I hand yall more Putty content knowing full well nobody follows me for it!!#:3c #shit forgot my art tags #my art #sketches

I kinda love how the moment Leo got his dual wield katana back, he adapted so much more naturally to his teleportation abilities.

Not to say he didn’t come around with the odachi, but it was pretty clear that he struggled hard with the mystic properties of it, and I think that it’s partially because while the odachi itself is a portaling tool that seemingly most anyone can use, Leo’s innate mystic abilities call for something to work with him, not for him.

So it makes perfect sense why his katana, made from himself and more in line with how he naturally fights, finally allow him to seamlessly grasp his space warping abilities to the extent he can.

#rottmnt #rottmnt leo #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #I would also like to add that at the end of the day both swords are still just tools #and I believe without those tools Leo’s mystic ability can be very very dangerous for him #not only do the swords act as a mental harness of his teleportation and portals #but also and more specifically they act as anchors #teleportation is!!! really scary actually!!! you have to be VERY skilled or be VERY careful to not be trapped in like #solid mass or in the middle of the ocean or even in between realities #might be better for Leo to rely so heavily on his swords in terms of his mystic abilities because if he decided to do as Mikey did #and go without them #uh #probably wouldn’t end well!#can easily imagine a scenario where the boys all like #get mystic sickness #and their abilities go way outta wack #with Leo he’d just be flitting in and out of existence #okay I stop talking now listen I just love Leo and I reallyyyyy adore his mystic abilities they’re so fun esp the teleportation #edit: side note but it’s also notable that in the turtle tot short #Leo even as a tot was wielding the dual katana naturally and without issue #he was always meant to use them so having a heavy odachi instead would of course be a bit of a learning curve for him

The thing is that every other iwtv character makes me want to weep and wail and pull out my hair and write essays of character analysis whereas lestat mostly makes me want to clap my hands like a seal that just watched someone slip and fall on a banana peel

#like he's delightful but to me louis/armand/etc NEED to keep having enough screen time as well to keep things anchored emotionally #if the show were to ever become 100% all lestat all the time it would completely fly off the rails and lose my interest #interview with the vampire
