My ideal aesthetic is what I'm calling "sexy tomboy". That is to say, I am 100% femme through and through, but I want to look like what a straight man's idea of a "masculine woman" is. I wanna be masc in the way that LaCroix is fruit flavored, just a little extra something to make things a little more interesting
surprised more people aren’t talking about the “kabru might be the child of an incubi” comic that also features “laios knows way too much about monster reproduction.” was that one just too easy or
So I often do freelance work for Viacom doing concept poses for style guides or merch and the like. I got permission to share some what I did from 2021-2023
I do a lot of stuff for Avatar/Korra!
Full batch on my website: https://www.jaydaitkaci.com/blog/style-guide-concept-poses-viacom
I think that it's an interesting character note that what Kabru blames himself for is where he restrained himself and didn't act.
He didn't kill Laios when he had the chance. Now, if the world had ended I do think he would bear some responsibility here... not to the extent he feels he does, which is driven to extremes by his survivor's guilt. It's certainly not "entirely his fault"! After all, if the world had ended, some of the blame should definitely go to Laios! And it's not really "blame", since the outcome is ultimately a great one - the demon is defeated! But, essentially, it is true that Kabru's presence in the story is instrumental in getting to the point we are at in chapter 90.
But what I'd pinpoint as the reason for that responsibility is not because he didn't kill Laios, but because he intervened to stop Mithrun killing Thistle and conquering the dungeon, and then intervened again to stop Laios from being captured by Lycion.
In this moment, these interventions don't even occur to Kabru. He's such an action-oriented character that he instinctively reaches for a place where he didn't act, rather than the places where he did. It's like he needs it to be the case that "I could have stopped this if I'd done more", rather than "I could have stopped this if I hadn't involved myself". I think that's really telling about the kind of person that he is. It also links compellingly to a self-soothing narrative, where "I can fix this and control the outcome if I work out the right set of actions to take," which is a result of the way he's processed the trauma of his childhood.
not only does fluttershy smoke weed, the first time she did was at a party one of the other ponies brought her to. she was passed the bong and weakly said “oh… sorry. i don’t smoke, i’ll cough and it’ll be really embarrassing.”
other ponies are like “nah you can do it! we won’t laugh!” and then she was like “ohh… okay…” and then just took the fattest bong rip, held it for 3 seconds, exhaled. everyone is in shock. she then does a weak little not-even cough and goes “ohh… i knew it… and now you’re all staring at me :(” and runs away
