Little late night doodle where I didn’t really plan what I was drawing and just “went with the flow”
Ended up with this ^^
Is it Whole? Idk, maybe? Guess it could be like a weird nightmare version of Whole that one of HMS dreamed about once or something? Yeaaaaa I’ll just go with that since it seems cool
Today's the day I talk about the White and Black memory from the Memory Link in B2/W2.
Not only is a good insight to the mindset of the Team Plasma members who are still loyal to N after the events of the first games, it's also one of the few moments in the games where the abuse N went through is actually drawn attention to in a situation where N isn't directly present. Most of the time, we're painfully aware of N's situation when it's a conversation between N and Ghetsis but this is an interaction between two random Plasma grunts where they talk about it from their perspective.
Something to note is they still call N "Lord N". They haven't magically changed their mindset. They don't call Ghetsis "Lord Ghetsis" anymore either, he's just Ghetsis now. They still are very much in that culty mindset, they're just wholly aligned with N now, rather than Team Plasma as a whole and as such, he's the only one with a title. Their a bit more moral but their unhealthy reverie towards N remains the same.
Back to my original point, it's one of the few times we see N's situation acknowledged by other characters. Other notable examples are when talking with Anthea and Concordia in the Driftveil Safehouse. While these are very brief moments, both conversations use very evocative words to describe what happened to N. Anthea and Concordia describe N as being "groomed" into a role while the Team Plasma grunts call what happened to N "disgusting. It almost feels a little strange when the characters acknowledge it. We see it happen and we know all about it but it feels much more real when the characters around you mention it and it's brought up so infrequently, it almost feels like you're not supposed to talk about it; it's jarring and uncomfortable when it is.
It also becomes interesting when you take into account how the Neo Team Plasma members feel about N, often referring to him as a traitor and an idiot, which implies they either didn't hear about what N went through or, more likely, they simply don't care; he was Team Plasma's key to victory and to power and it doesn't matter to them what was done to him for that to be his role. There's a reason Neo Team Plasma follows Ghetsis and it's because they align with his views; I wouldn't be surprised if they also viewed N as less than human just like Ghetsis does and as such, don't even view his suffering as suffering to begin with.
Idk why but I can picture Faba playing Splatoon a lot. So of course he gets Colress into it. So I drew their Inkling and Octoling.
Faba gets, like. League-of-Legends player level of rage while playing. Colress is the only one who accepts to play with him as he's used to rage outbursts thanks to Ghetsis. Speaking of, the big man can't stand Splatoon and its gargling squid noises. I think he does, however, enjoy the Sims and Morrowind. Anything that can make him feel close to being a god, really. (Colress is more into Minecraft himself)
(( +Bonus I also drew what Ghetsis and N's sploons would look like purely because I LOVE drawing Inklings/Octolings... N would get Splatoon's appeal but he's more of an Animal Crossing kinda guy I think ))
couldn't a reason Mind and Heart hate each other be because of whole's love interest (sung in Haiku and Hidden In The Sand), like how Whole really liked them, but he thought that they would never love him, so basically his Heart wanted to ask them out and pursue a relationship, but his Mind refused thinking they would never love him. And its mostly because of that Whole split into three in the first place, so they both blame each other for it, and that's why they hate each other?
I thought about the Pokemon Sun Pokedex entry for Magneton, because it's one of my favorite dex entries and how a few times, I thought about it with HMS because - you know. Three of them. Although the general idea of drawing them as Magnemite and Whole as a Magneton was also funny so uh. Here.
This is the entry by the way:
Why does Whole suddenly become a shiny Magneton when they all evolve?
