Tonya generally has a good handle on things, but we're having an office debate - is she using this new 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘦𝘳 right? 🤔😅

There is a story here I think, but I'm not a good storyteller. Who wants to play a mad libs game? "After a lot of pleading, Sally's _________, was so happy she agreed to take him to the park. They've wanted to be let out to stretch their legs, and show the world how they __________. Or something like that. Is it her imagination? Emotions? Monster under the bed? Ink, color pencil and my weird imagination. #inksketch #colorpencilsketch #imagination #illustration #whatisthat https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_nGivOoc-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sometimes I do a cursory browse on ebay, and they recommend some wild finds to me.

WHAT IS THAT? WHATISTHAT? HECK, the eyes! 🫣 What happened!? The design is so strange, there's no well defined fingers or toes!

#WhatIsThat

[thewapolls]

BOGEY just a generic name for a monster/spirit/goblin type spook. They don't really have a "canon" description. Source of the term "bogeyman." It's definitely kinda ghostly but also it's a jellyfish?

GIZMO very unclear what's going on with this recolor... If it were literal, "gizmo" as a synonym for "gadget" would imply a machine, which a jellyfish definitely is not. But as a nonsense word like "thingamajig" or "whatchamacallit" I guess it could sort of work?? But I don't even know if that meaning is understood across language barriers? If that was the aim you'd expect it to be the Japanese phrase "nanjamonja" as in "whatisthat?". That all aside... Maybe a reference to Gizmo from the movie Gremlins??? But I doubt it.

DAPHNE named after the Greek myth of Daphne and Apollo, in which Apollo pursues the beautiful water nymph against her will. In desperation she has herself turned into a laurel tree to escape his affection. Despite it all, Apollo still plucks and wears her branches and leaves in a wreathe as a sign of victory; a symbol we still use to honor awards to this day

TABANGA is actually a super obscure reference to the monster of the 1957 horror film, From Hell It Came. A prince of an island in the South Pacific is framed for regicide, stabbed in the heart, and buried in a hollow tree and then the nuclear fallout of the bikini atoll bomb tests irradiates the tree grave and the prince returns to life as the monster TABANGA to seek revenge on his betrayers. Super bizarre deep cut from the WA2 staff.

LIZARDMAN is just a classic swords and sorcery lizard man. I'd assume it was a D&D reference specifically, given Wild Arms' usual pool of source material, but they were also quite popular in old 1930s pulp sci-fi and horror, especially with the rise of Hollow Earth as a subject, so the reference could be much more general.

DIEFIGHTER infuriatingly the phrase is too generic to pin down, but I sort of assume it's supposed to be DAIFIGHTER as in dai[大] as in "big" or "great" and not "die". But I don't know that that would make it a reference to anything in either case...

(I put LIZ and ARD in there because they match the colors and because there was no LIZARDMAN or DIEFIGHTER in WA2 but I don't know that they were specifically meant as offshoots of that design. Lizards are just lizards after all.)
