hey gang i think we can talk about the misogyny in warrior cats without defending a character whos ONLY personality trait is "abuses disabled children"

#i feel like comparing her to most antagonists that people enjoy is a false equivalence because like #they do other things #literally the only thing rainflower does is abuse her disabled child #like if the ONLY thing hawkfrost did was abuse mothwing liking him would be sus as fuck #but uh. he was a major villain for like 3 arcs. #its more comparable to like. liking stormtail #when all he does is neglect his children and be predatory towards younger women #but i have never seen anyone stanning him?!? #if you want a mother with a complex relationship with her disabled child lets talk about millie #wc #warrior cats #rainflower

So.. this absolutely wasn't meant to be posted AT ALL as it was supposed to be just another short doodle but

well.. um

yeah

have an additional sketch as well

#my art #felix #ocs #artists on tumblr #this was completely self-indulgent #this wasn't actually done with my normal set up but instead with a cheap tiny tablet and krita on another laptop #which was not meant to be used for a full piece #but i guess i got used to drawing on it after 200 doodle layers #but still i am highly unfamiliar with the program especially when it comes to coloring #but still! came out quite good ignoring all the things i sped through because again #wasn't meant to be posted #anyway this was inspired by a song i found like two days ago and to keep my motivation to finish this i listened to it for 3 hours straight #while drawing #it worked #also yeah it's the catboy he's the victim of my wrath atm #the context of this is that a hero had overworked his sidekick and a villain took advantage of it by lowkey mindcontrolling them :v #miraculous style #his temp theme is being eepy #in their villain arc the first thing they did was f*ck off for a month and get some proper rest #goals ngl #also the catboy keeps rotating his prononuns like rotisserie chicken and i think at this point i should just give up and go for any pronoun #this thang wasn't made to contain gender #and i keep writing catboy bcs catperson is a little bit awkward i think unless you're literally describing them #also catboy is funnier

rowan damisch truly makes like 1 decision and falls into *checks notes* 120+ years of suffering

#he decides to comfort an almost stranger while they die #and is rewarded with 4 months of murder training #8 months of more abusive murder training #like a year or so of solitude and doing righteous murders #captured by villain and killed over and over #escapes and get stuck on a sinking island when he dies in an airtight cube at the bottom of the ocean #revived after 3 years and kept in jail #busted out of jail by villain and almost executed #busted out by a different group who force him into doing less righteous murders #get out of that and get put in a shipping container of corpses for 4 days #reunites with gf who then dies in his arms #put on a spaceship and told she'll be revived in 117 years #arc of a scythe #bookshelf #these books are so funny #the characters just get dragged thru events over and over #but i think rowan has is worst #bc everyone hates him the whole time #and its super not his fault #this isnt even everything #this doesnt include volta and tyger #and his family #and faradays rejection #hes so emo and hes earned it #rowan: im gonna call myself.....

if Blizzard ever decides to give Lifeweaver a villain-arc, I hope they make full use of his Messiah Complex

“Why do you always do two sets of notes? I know I need to borrow them sometimes, but I mean…” Miguel watches as Demetri slips one of two identical equation-laden papers into his binder.

“I’ll show you.”

Outside the classroom, Demetri slides the spare notes into a familiar locker. Miguel frowns.

“I thought you two weren’t friends anymore.”

Demetri sighs. “I don’t want him to fail his chemistry finals. He’s too busy committing misdemeanors and breaking arms to pay attention in class.”

“But why help?”

“Because eventually he’ll see sense, amigo. I only hope it’s in time for college applications.”

Common descriptors of foxes may include cunning, clever, and tricky. And all would be true for the impeccably intelligent mister Vin Dictive!

Vin believes himself the epitome of knowledgeable when it comes to his kind. A clever specimen as he is, adorning such advanced abilities not many normal animal-kind bare like speaking aloud, he finds himself a high and mighty monarch ruling over wherever he treads. Of course, following behind his tail is a line of trickery. Vin likes to make others react to his crimes, and they usually will. This fox seems to have grown far too comfortable slipping away from the consequences of his actions.

Being such a selfish and careless creature with a knack for fooling the less fortunate has landed himself a pretty hefty bounty for his head. It’s apparently held up by a certain pair of ruthless twins. And those twin bounty hunters who seem so keen on his defeat… oh, how he despises them so! Wearing his own subjects like intimidation tactics! How fickle, and how rude! Whoever would place such a resilient bounty for his execution!? But he knows he’s always bound not to let himself be bound. After all, he’s no ordinary fox like any other he’s called upon before. He’s a gray fox— one complete with a feature not many other canines have: retractable claws, perfect for things like climbing and scampering away, or even more casual things like scaling trees to collect fruits where the usual, lesser canine could only dream to reach.

And to display such impressive divinity and vanity, Vin wears his cape, headdress, and bracelets of leaves, vines, and grapes with pride. He doesn’t even have to tend to them or replace them! Because… well, they’re not real grapes along him. Just his own craft to give off a kingly approach. But he won’t tell you that. It’s possible that the falsified nature of his inauthentic gear could allude to the devious demeanor of this divine deviant. And recently, he’s heard from the grapevine that there’s a strange newcomer woman in his neck of the woods… a perfectly pathetic candidate for action in his eyes.

But don’t quote him on that… it’s only a little birdie that told him.

———

Several weeks ago, me and my friends had an unexpected “character creation convention” that revolved around the possibility of a potential fox character, who would then take major inspiration from The Fox and the Grapes. Admittedly, I’ve slipped in just a little bit of Evil Queen (from Snow White) inspiration in there as well.

Vin’s name is also interesting as well; taking from the term “Vin”, which means wine, “Dictator”, as he’s a rather headstrong guy who sees himself as a feared leader, and “Vindictive”, which means to have an unreasonable desire for revenge.

Though there’s a bit to unpack about Vin, I should also note that he’s planned more as a side character with his own brief moment of plot. In terms of the whole story, he’s not the most important character, but will certainly have his importance when it’s his time to shine :)

Credit to @aggresively-doesnt-know, @vinesoy, @menthum-mint, @pazam, @shroingushour, @pizzabits, @agent-plaguemask, and @barnowlblu for helping a lot with the original idea and design concepts of Vin! Whew that is a lot of people! I hope I didn’t forget anyone! Sincerely hope y’all don’t mind that!

me giddily running my hands along my main muse's flaws like 'i hate you so fucking much <3'

#not even as like a gag. i love that dream's genuinely reprehensible at times pre-imprisonment. #it's none of this 'redemption arc for characters that don't even need one' #it's 'redemption arc for the villain of MULTIPLE stories' #he needs these acts of cruelty for the story/his attempt to be better to mean anything. #i love it but also fuck you big guy <3

[skylordhorus]

viren is such a good complicated character- i want to study him under a microscope

#*deep space noises* #i find him fascinating your honour #intelligent yet an idiot #arrogant yet extremely insecure #a villain but selfless? in his motivations #absolutely zero sense of self preservation #its why i got mad at series 3 because it felt like it took a lot more of the nuance out of his character #but hey thats what fanons for- chucking canon out sometimes lol #im also musing abt the idea that for once maybe he is a character that actually fits npd criteria #but i feel bad because as complex as he is hes still a villain #and idk for sure if theyre going for a redemption/atonement arc even tho i very much want one #im also not super knowledgeable abt npd either so im just gonna shelve it as a curiosity i think #plus i dont trust ppl to know that i mean npd w nuance and neutrality and not just the shorthand for Evil that so many ppl use it as

#woof you can really tell what my interests are from this list #I’m not sorry about my taste but I know it’s…acquired #explanations to follow: #1.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.
