#which honestly: very very fair

Ok so here's my thoughts.

Arguments for why he would be sheikah:

He's the gravekeeper, has a strong connection to the dead, lives and thrives among the graves, does keep to himself. Becomes a ghost himself. Lives in Kakariko, and then haunts Kakariko.

This is more questionable, but I feel like "Dampé" and "Impa" have similar phonetic sounds and underpinning logic, the inflexion is in the exact same place, and I think he's also the only OoT Zelda character with an accent in its name in the English translation? Impa doesn't, but the "é" does seem to fall sliightly outside of hylian naming conventions, unless I'm forgetting someone and if that's the case I look stupid now.

There's literally a sheikah symbol in his house I think? In his diary?

Arguments for why he wouldn't be sheikah (so hylian):

Impa being among the last sheikahs and sheikahs being gone (and potentially dead) is a huge part of her characterization, and it would be weird for people not to mention Dampé is there also.

He doesn't seem to have red eyes. To me that's kind of the biggest tell.

He seems to be pretty much kept apart, and if Impa is technically the head of the village, I feel like there should be bigger connexions between them? (unless. Look I have bigger headcanons about Kakariko's history but these are my mad ramblings and nothing canon so let's ignore that)

He doesn't seem to have any involvement with the more spiritual tasks that Impa seem to be responsible for, aka sealing angry spectres or touching anything related to the Shadow Temple, and seems to be mostly focusing on more mundane tasks (and digging holes into the graveyard for money, which seem... pretty disrepectful if we're being quite honest here? So unless he's the kind of guy who turns his people's own resting/sacred grounds into tourist traps, which, not discounting tbh, it seems to me he lacks some of the depth of the relationship Impa has with the dead)

Which leads me to my personal headcanon that he has sheikah ancestry, and might have been raised here, but might be half-hylian, and so his relationship to gravekeeping is not as strict and ceremonial as Impa's. But it would still explain his name, his job, and maybe his distance with the rest of the village (beyond casual ableism too).

Literally WHO wanted to hear me ramble about my headcanons re: Dampé OoT, I'm not quite sure!! Either way, here they are!!

Ok, weird question.

[biblicalhorror]

Yeah honestly I didn't mind the ratfish even though I disagreed with 90% of his takes, I just wish we could have had some payoff of seeing the cast react to him and I kinda don't get why they didn't do that. It felt like a weird choice

[yb-cringe]

btw fit said he wasnt gonna do daily streams or be suuuuper consistent, hes just gonna stream realm casually. also he set expectations to be just a very lowww energy thing and to keep things chill

[froggy-nebula]

i might just be pulling this out of my ass but i feel like terezi and gamzee really did a lot of damage to how people see pitch relationships

and i get it, terezi and gamzee’s relationship was basically everything people say about pitch relationships. it was abusive, horrible, and enabled by everyone around them

but they’re also not the only pitch relationship we see in the comic, or even the only pitch relationship we see terezi get into

and they’re not even the only abusive and/or toxic relationship we see by far, and plenty of those weren’t pitch

like my wild stance ok is you are allowed to hate cartoon characters & if you find them irritating you can just say that, you don’t have to make up justifications about why the people who like them are evil

[aroacesigma]

so many bsd characters seem to have a lot of their characterisation and experiences centering around their ability, but sigma seems mostly apathetic to his own ability - he doesnt list it as his strength in that one character profile that came out recently , he just says hes a hard worker and mostly useless at everything else . and hes always describing himself as pretty ordinary. which really is the exact opposite of how pretty much everyone else sees him as just the thing that comes along with his ability

[transmascutena]

i hate when utena fans are like "this is the one true and correct reading of this character's motivations for doing this" because it's never that simple. it's never just one thing. there's always a lot of different (often conflicting) thoughts and feelings that go into any decision anybody in this show makes. like someone will say that anthy stabbed utena because akio wanted her to. or that it was because she was afraid. and both of those statements are true, there are just so many more layers to it, and you shouldn't stop your analysis at one of them and pretend that's all there is to it. another thing i've seen is someone (probably me let's be honest) saying "utena is nervous around akio because she is on a subconcious level aware of the grooming and abuse he's putting her through" and someone else responding with "nope. it's because she feels guilty about betraying anthy" not realizing that those things can absolutely be true at the same time, and only believing one thing at a time is severely limiting your perspective on the character. some people want to make things so much simpler (and therefore less interesting) than they actually are, and in a show like this i just don't get it. these characters are complicated, you're not going to be able to sum up everything they're feeling in a single sentence. and if you think you can you are definitely missing something.

Managed to make my warhammer oc in heroforge and fuck it, I guess she looks like Sanguinius- She's supposed to be a rogue trader whose slightly warp afflicted. Imma just role with it because man does she look dope asf.

The thrilling conclusion of my husband watching lotr for the first time

“I’m happy to have finally watched it with you, but I never want to watch them again. I would watch the hobbit again if you asked”

Honestly? What a man, am I right

On a side note he 100% shipped Frodo and Sam

Was thoroughly confused about the elves leaving and why Frodo and bilbo were going too

Made me realize that they absolutely do not explain any of that in the movies, so if you have no previous knowledge you’re just left thinking the elves are assholes?? Bizarre

[transingthoseformers]

TFP Arachnid was interesting, but I think they just didn't know what to do with her. Well besides her getting a slow death on a dead moon.

You're right, that's why I think she was wasted potential in the show

[chibishortdeath]

I actually really like the messed up skeleton Dracula design, it conveys that he’s not at full power yet pretty well :3. More explanations and two unfinished doodles under a cut—

Close up on Drac’s upper half cause the drawing was way too big for one photo of it. Something that I noticed while staring at his sprite for a while is that he’s probably not wearing a hood, but chainmail armor with a helmet on top :O!

Entire page view to get all the Dracula in frame lol. His armor isn’t falling off btw, everything is rising into place from the altar. Hopefully he’s not too gorey for general tags uhhh yeah d(TwT ).

This is him when he’s done coming together. He’s still not fully powerful or physically all there yet, but it’s just enough to be able to troll Simon at the end 💀💀💀. Anyway yeah he’s totally me when my arch nemesis doesn’t find my teeth and accidentally summons me before I’m ready lol.

Simon is literally so fun to just put in poses. He is almost always my model for drawing poses because his big thighs kinda force you to make his pose even more exaggerated to get the same amount of open space and ratio of things— yeah idk it’s fun. He’s also allowed to have some sass sometimes I think. Fun fact! I didn’t use a reference for these :3. I’m so proud! Angles like this are usually hard!!! Oh and rare family heirloom sword moment. I’m taking this as a nod to the recent Haunted Castle remake now, which was so out of no where like (*o* ). I’ll take it!!! Simon game!!! A win!!! Hopefully the next collection they put out has Adventure Rebirth in it X3.

Simon but he is staring at you with the saddest pouty wet cat eyes. Tbh I think this general kinda neutral/resting sad expression is what I draw him with the most.

Which is why I also tried drawing him with other expressions!!!!!! In this one he is surprised and awkwardly responding to being told something so negative it’s almost comedic 💀💀💀. I was imagining the one town in Simon’s Quest with some bangers like “after Castlevania I told you never to return” and “you’ve upset the people now get out of town” X,,,,,D. He’s a little taken aback and was gonna try to defend himself, but he just leaves anxiously.

Please imagine that in this one he is saying that one meme that goes “it is hot as hell in this fucking ass hot ass room I’m in… IS THAT THE GRIM REAPER⁉️⁉️⁉️”.

Yay! Putting him on furniture for background practice!!! He is sitting on a church pew, having a couple micro sleeps cause he’s sleep deprived. He may fall off cause that armor is a little too heavy when sitting down I’d imagine.

These last two are for the images below. First one is just him kinda tweakin idk, he’s been awake too long and seen too much, somebody direct him to the nearest church, bro needs rest 💀. His hand shaking reminds me tho, a couple days ago I played the jojo fighting game so hard I had to put ice on my hand 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀. It SUUUCKED like take it from me don’t play as Polnareff in story mode if you’ve already been playing for a long time ｡ﾟ(ﾟ´ω`ﾟ)ﾟ｡

This one is just general anatomy practice, just doodling his proportions to keep the skill of being able to draw them d(^^ ). I ended up really liking how I drew his hair in this one though, it’s cute :3.

Side note, if you have read only one of the books, just select the "has read" option. It's honestly not a big deal, though. I just included reading/not reading the books because I thought it would be interesting to see if that impacts anything at all.

Also also, for those of you who have Alistair marry Anora, but also have your Warden become his mistress, please just pick the mistress Warden choice. I only get to put 12 answers here, I am so sorry 😞
