Kingdom Hearts 3 - Nobodies

#kingdom hearts 3 #kh3 #nobodies #dusk #sniper #reaper #ninja #gambler #berserker #sorcerer #my gif #i'm a nobody enjoyer so of course i'm gonna make another set with them #nobodies are so reflective in this game i wonder if it they were originally intended to look this way #it would have been difficult to visually convey that in the old engine since lighting and shadows were all drawn onto the texture map #but that's not an issue anymore since there are far less lighting and graphical restrictions #anyways i'm glad we got a couple new nobodies #because their designs rule #i love how the one that represents marluxia can morph its body to look like the pod that sora slept in at castle oblivion #while the one that represents larxene has flowy scarf tails that are reminiscent of her unique hairstyle. the knife hands are cool

trying to make my case on why the "except for one" referred to in the AMA is actually leshy

#not because he's better or anything #just because he cannot play by the rules for the life of him #my shit #cult of the lamb #also these designs aren't final i just scribbled some down quickly for the post #uhhh how you tag the bishops #cotl shamura #cotl leshy #cotl heket #cotl kallamar #cotl narinder #shitpost #sorry for the sloppiness i cranked this out after work

the choice between Edward & Jacob is not a question of which relationship is healthier or which partner is best suitable for Bella. neither is correct. neither is best. neither produces a happy ending for Bella. at the end of the day this is still a vampire novel. any choice Bella could make would yield, at best, a bittersweet happily ever after.

if she chooses Edward, she gets the terrifying Breaking Dawn ending: a girl who rejected her call to grow up has hung her love & her eternity on an emotionally stunted partner who hates himself marginally less than he loves her. she's a teen mom with a kid she never wanted who perpetuates the generational trauma passed down from her parents. by keeping this child, the Cullens have set the stage for an uprising/cold war against the Volturi who are likely to take revenge in order to maintain power. Bella is living in a tenuous "dream come true" wrapped in a nightmare & doesn't realize it.

choosing Jacob is the true coming-of-age ending that rips the stitches out of a wound that never fully healed. even if we ignore the fact that she ends up with a man who sexually assaulted her (we must bear in mind Jacob's character is influenced by smeyer's racism, but it did happen), they can't have a secure romantic relationship. based on the high imprinting rate of the pack, Jacob will likely find his imprint in his lifetime & will lose himself to the imprintee. he will no longer be her Jacob. he will inevitably abandon her (whether he wants to or not), & she must reconcile with the reality that she will always be inadequate to Jacob's imprint. & say he never manages to escape the vampires? he will presumably not age for a long time, meaning the relationship Bella always feared with Edward (her being an old grandmother while he stays forever young) remains a possibility. this is the story of a girl who slaps a Band Aid on an open wound & calls herself healed while flinching every time she sees the shadow of the knife that cut her.

if she chooses neither (team therapy), her healing requires her to lose or be at least partially disconnected from everyone she cares about. Bella must spend the rest of her life shut out from one world while never fully existing in her human world ever again. she must always keep secrets. she can never go back home. even in the unlikely event that she manages to escape the Volturi, the threat of being hunted by vampires will never leave her. in addition, she must face her worst fears (aging, losing Edward) while always keeping in mind the immortal life that could have been hers, if only.

even the "healthiest" option produces scars that will never quite heal.

Twilight is a horror. Twilight is a vampire novel. Twilight is gothic. Twilight is fiction. neither Edward nor Jacob is a "bad" choice because neither will give Bella her happily ever after. the choice between Edward & Jacob is simply a matter of which horror story you prefer to read.

#twilight #twilight renaissance #bella swan #the twilight saga #edward cullen #twilight saga #twilight meta #not to be a downer but the edward/jacob feud is silly #i understand this feud will continue in perpetuity because controversy & drama will always garner attention in online spaces etc #but the idea that either of these men will provide the happy story some people in this fandom want is an illusion #because no matter what happens The Twilight Saga still operates in the context of the vampire/gothic genre which by design can't produce #a 100% happy ending. the vampire itself reflects the inner anxieties of a society - & isolation & change & death - etc. #these are anxieties that can be alleviated thru vamp media. they can be escaped but never solved. which is part of the horror of the genre #The Horror Will Not Go Away #& in this respect Twilight is NOT the exception to the rule. #'oh but it's a YA romance so-' yeah so the black walls get wallpapered. they're still black underneath & nothing changes that #i wish we were able to debate the choice between Edward & Jacob while still bearing in mind neither choice is wrong #i think this fandom would be a lot less toxic & mean to each other for no fuckin reason but oh well

Heaven Official's Blessing except I haven't read the book, remember nothing of the donghua, and saw a few spoilers.

Sorry, for the delay, I got sick last week and couldn't update, here is part 8 ! As always, please, no spoilers in the replies or in the reblogs! I read all the tags, and I intend on reading the novels once I'm done with this serie. In this case, a spoiler would mean any sorts of correction regarding what I've put in this comic: I know I'm wrong, this is the point of this serie. (Character's name or role in the story counts as well.)

Lots of new characters today! One of the rare thing I remember is that this whole arc happens in the Gobi desert, so I wanted to reflect that in some way. I had a lot of fun doing this part, I hope you'll enjoy it too! And happy spooky season! :D

they're girlfriends and they kiss. what of it

i have seen cuteguy with many weapons.

BUT NOT A FLAMETHROWER. SO GUESS WHAT

#hermitcraft #grian #goodtimeswithscar #desert duo #bugs art #the 'i cant commit crimes because i have to follow the rules. BUT YOU CAN' duo #yes grian has cat socks and an oversized sweater cause i think its funny. his design will probably change tho #i think itd be funny if he looks like an uwu soft boy and then is the most unhinged mf youve ever seen

All the outfits and styling of Sandra Oh as Jenny Yum in Quiz Lady are just so AH. YES. So perfect for the character but also so so so good? Constantly over the top in a way that could be just ridiculous in a different movie, but this movie doesn't want us to think she's ridiculous. Look at that last outfit. That's the end of the movie. All the growing and changing has happened and she still looks that way because that was NOT something she was supposed to outgrow. (And actually it works exactly the same with Awkwafina's character, she also does her fair share of growing and changing but her personal style? Still the same, because THAT was not the problem) Sandrah Oh is 52 and she looks amazing in this style, and that is frankly so good to see. Do what you want forever, stop living in prisons inside your own mind.

#quiz lady #jenny yum #sandra oh #costume design #i started making the gifs just because i find the outfit aestethically pleasing but i actually got a little emotional over it #rules of clothing are not real #do what you want and fuck everything #i made this #i just want a tag for the things i personally put out into the world

Guy who gets isekaied into an omegaverse world, it’s not even sexy

It’s a slice of life that opens every story with some form of “living in the background of some smut novel/an omegaverse reality/a BL book that swung too close to the sun is always [adjective related to the story at hand]” then he would continue with the weird shit that’s treated entirely normal like finding himself in the red light district and having to learn about secondary gender specific kink gear or he finds a Main Character TM having pheromone problems while shopping and has to debate if they have a partner and if helping here will be detrimental to future safety or run into a group of alpha teens that look like delinquents but they’re actually all just on edge and need very much to patrol this area around their one sick friend

This guy has the full suburban family and one of his uncles kids were just found out to be a secondary sex impossible for the parents to produce so there’s Drama and Gossip flying everywhere

#it’s a glorified worldbuilding showcase #this guy voice: living in a universe designed for alpha male omega female and mostly gay relationships is weird. they tend to forget that #alpha women also exist and need to follow the internal rules set up by the mm pairings. not to worry because my cousin just impregnated her #soon to be omega husband. so I suppose this work at least doesn’t depend on suspension of disbelief

As someone who likes cute anthro art that's not too cliche or human-looking, I really like your stuff. It feels original and colorful and lively. For the req, how about a red fox?

THANK U ... i get rlly picky when it comes to furry designs godbless . this actually gave me a chance to figure out how i want to do colours and designs for an oc story im working on

#✉️ #squiddoodlebug #unfortunately foxes arent in the story . because foxes dont exist here godbless #anyways !! my rules for furries change a lot ( specifically on the legs part . more fantasy designs tend to get digitrade legs )

*pulls out my revue-ification and necro-fication beam* it's a double whammy this time

obviously inspired by the insane battle couples poll. so i decided to switch universes with my fav girls ever and it was surprisingly easy (even got matching hair colors!). sword lesbians are sword lesbians in every universe. why fight when we are actually holding hands

(no facepaint versions of hikaren under cut)

#my fanart #revue starlight #the locked tomb #hikaren #griddlehark #au #universe swap #crossover #aijo karen #kagura hikari #gideon nav #harrowhark nonagesimus #listen. revueification of any character is so fun to do. because their design can take any form and reflect their vibe. #and you can really go ham on the weapon so i made the sword thicc and huge #i even broke some rules. i had to give gideon shorts. ain't no way i could put her in a skirt and sleep at night #possibly the weirdest crossover i've done yet but. it was fun.

#eelektross #another case of the Guy Just Looks Like A Circle #and shoutouts to them for that. which is literally the only commentary i can come up with about this #well i could say. eelektross has levitate. and i feel like most “Fish” Pokémon have levitate #just because they're designed to be like. In the water. and in the water they can float. but most of the pokémon games‚ veritably‚ #take place outside the water. so if you want to get a fish guy then they have to float. to look like a fish. and not look pathetic #the only fish that abides by typical rules is‚ obviously and iconically‚ magikarp. because it's Supposed to look pathetic #even goldeen from the same generation fuckin floats. it's not bc it's gen 1. it's because it's supposed to be pathetic #i dunno. i just feel like at the very least eelektross is one of those pokémon who Has limbs and doesn't really need to. float #just because they're typically supposed to be in the water. is that just me

Close your eyes, and open your heart.

Believe in yourself, that's how it starts.

The brain rot won.

I was rewatching my beloved 4Kids Winx dub a couple weeks ago, and my brain said "Alexis's uniform would translate to a winx transformation very easily actually 👀" and uh.... here we are 🤭

I imagine her as a frost fairy, since she runs an ice deck in the manga and while she's in the society of light in season 2 and she and Atticus both have a snow/ice association betwixt the various GX media. Hence my trying to give her Enchantix a subtle ice/snowflake kinda vibe. While also across the transformations taking inspiration from Flora, Bloom, and Stella

(Click for higher quality obviously lol)

#I don't fucking know how she'd get her charmix but you know goddamn well she got her enchantix by saving atticus #I mean by the rules of enchantix she kinda has to #unless any of the rest of the squad was like from their same realm I guess or like... their parents... but c'mon we all know full well #I went and tracked down glitter brushes just for this too I put in a lot of work for some fucking brainrot aksksk #I literally designed and redesigned her enchantix like 3 times because I kept not liking how it turned out too akakakks #i need to be stopped #yugioh gx #ygo gx #alexis rhodes #asuka tenjoin #winx club #abby attempts to draw #abby's in her unhinged era #my art <3

Weird Girls Go To Camp, version 4

These characters are from an old comic idea I had in high school. They've changed a lot over time lol

#original characters #oc art #character design #character art #i changed ingrids name to emily because there can only be one girl with an old lady name. thems the rules #also meshed chloe and sticks closer together. id always planned for them to be like siblings anyway but i think now its a bit more clear

comics aren't fun because you get to put your blorbos in situations, comics are fun because you get to give them silly expression after silly expression and get used to drawing them 10000 times

#ramblings with major #sidenote that's a fun tidbit about character design #you have to think about what medium you're putting the character in and how that will affect the design #like for occasional epic illustrations you may be compelled to put more tiny details and that's fine #but for comics and animation where you're drawing things 1000000 times over and over again #you may find it easier to take a couple of those details off! or at least find a shortcut for them #i like comics and animation so i try to keep my designs on the simpler end (usually) (i do love me some Texture) #but another fun thing. is that there are no rules. and you can simplify Anatomy too if you want. #so i have made sam and celia so so squishy and small like 4 times now because i didn't wanna do full anatomy (especially hands) #anyway we've got some GOOD sams and celias. and a couple good alices as well <3
