"How the Thark Found Christmas"

Tars is doing his best to be Santa Claus, but I think he's doing a better imitation of a different Christmas character.

I'm a day or two late, but I've been wanting to draw this for two years and I am *not* waiting until next year to post it, lol. I hope y'all had a good Christmas. 🎄

Tails in your AU?

In Sonic of Mars, Tails is taking on the role of Woola! . . . Kinda. I'm making some pretty big changes.

See, in the original book/movie, Woola is John Carter's guard dog. ('Dog' in quotations because he's really some kind of bizarre alien.) He's Carter's personal protector and overall buddy. So obviously, there's gonna be some tweaks here.

I'm still working out the kinks, but I'm thinking Tails is a Thark like Shadow. He's the charge of Rouge, who is also a Thark, and he's tasked with guarding Sonic when he first arrives in camp. I was thinking he's a kid genius like in canon, which could both simplify and complicate a plot beat that happens later on, so I'm not sure yet. We'll see. Who knows, I could always make him like Mangey if I wanted. I haven't decided yet.

So yeah, Tails is a Thark, he's guarding Sonic, and the two become buddies. :)

Asky é um calot, espécie alienígena descrita como um tipo de cão de Marte, embora tenha o tamanho de um pônei Shetland, dez pernas curtas e uma cabeça semelhante à de um sapo. É o animal mais rápido do planeta natal dele e seu olfato é excelente, conseguindo encontrar seu dono sempre - e também lhe seguindo, visto que são extremamente leais e apegados. São ótimos caçadores e protetores, geralmente usados para guardar propriedades. Sua mandíbula abre mais do que a maioria dos outros animais, e suas carreiras de dentes proporcionam à raça um certo temor e respeito.

Temperamento: se ligou à Hella com facilidade quando viu que ela estava lá para salvá-lo, mas foi bastante arisco antes disso, o que rendeu à Hofferson alguns arranhões e quase mordidas enquanto tentava tirar a coleira mágica que o prendia ao local. Uma vez solto, o Calot ficou curioso por perto dela e parecia querer ajudar, o que foi bom visto que era o maior predador do local e os outros petmonsters deram menos trabalho depois de alguns rosnados dele. É dócil caso goste da pessoa, e uma vez que se apegou à Hella, virou leal a ela, então se o calot estiver por perto, não chegue abruptamente perto da Hofferson a não ser que queira ser atacado - pelos dois. É também muito inteligente e entende o que as pessoas e bestas dizem. Sendo um macho, desgosta especialmente de homens, e sempre que chegam perto de Hella, ele começa a tentar afastar ou ficar agressivo, a não ser que conheça e se apegue a ele. Ficou muito apegado à @liatudo e é absolutamente apaixonado pelos carinhos da Hofferson mais nova, além de adorar brincar com ela.

Inspiração: Woola, calot de John Carter em John Carter Entre dois Mundos. Para saber mais sobre a fisionomia dela: X

Rhodesian Ridgeback for the ask game? ☺

This was actually on the list of breeds my partner considered! I believe Woola was the name he wanted, and the reference was John Carter.

If we had a Ridgeback, it would very much be his dog, which would mean I would be investing in a Garmin Alpha from the start. He is not a serious trainer, and our lifestyle is very off leash.

We would enjoy each other's company, but she would make me want to pull my hair out.

John Carter (2012)

There’s something not quite right about John Carter. The original material shines through enough to make Andrew Stanton’s live-action directorial debut worth seeing, but only for those who are basically already sold on this space opera.

Civil War Confederate Army captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is suddenly transported to Mars, where the planet’s lower gravity gives him incredible strength. Captured by the insect-like Jeddak, he discovers that a massive war between the human-like population is about to engulf the entire planet in catastrophe. Allied with princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins), he sets out to save what is left of the planet.

There’s a lot more to this story than my brief summary. We're introduced to multiple alien races, all vastly different from our own civilization and each other. There are many characters and locations, plus the flora, fauna and religions of Mars (called Barsoom by its inhabitants) to keep track of. There are so many alien names to remember that certain aspects of the film - namely most of what happens on Earth - feels wholly unnecessary. You wish Carter’s nephew Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabara) would go away so the film could have more time to explore and patch up some the plot holes. They’re not huge, but on Barsoom Carter meets the Therns, immortal schemers led by Mark Strong who have tipped the balance of the thousand-year war. With their abilities, the Therns seem so powerful it’s a wonder Carter stands a chance against them, regardless of his super strength and leaping abilities.

Whether native to the book or not, many aspects of the film don’t feel right. You’ve got this huge, epic story with the fate of a dying world in the balance and mixed in are these attempts at whimsy (Carter has a loyal dog-like creature named Woola) and comedy, neither of which mesh well with the action. The battle sequences should be counterbalanced with some romance, but Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins don’t have much chemistry. In fact, Kitsch doesn’t have much presence in the film. His character mopes and complains about being transported to a world that’s far cooler than ours and receiving superpowers for at least half the movie. I know there’s a big war going on and death lurks around every corner, but Barsoom is still better than the mess you had back on Earth, plus there’s a hot space babe begging you to go on an adventure. You should be excited, courageous, eager and confident, not begrudgingly following her and looking for a way back to your homeworld at every turn. The audience is interested in Barsoom. He should be too.

The story and character flaws are even more apparent when considering what's done well. The art direction is awesome. All of the alien creatures look really cool and you can feel the richness of this world even when the plot is blazing past important aspects to give us more exposition. The action sequences are exciting and memorable. When the film works, it’s fun. Too bad for every enjoyable scene there’s another that hobbles the pacing or reminds you of another movie that pulled it off flawlessly.

I’m sure some day there will be a terrific adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs pulp space opera adventures. This film should’ve worked when you consider the amount of money and effort sunk into it, but the end results don't impress. I enjoyed watching John Carter, but over and over kept thinking “this should be so much better”. (On Blu-ray, January 29, 2018)

Frank E. Schoonover, cover for the first book edition of A Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs (A. C. McClurg & Co., October 10, 1917).

"I had at least two friends on Mars; a young woman who watched over me with motherly solicitude, and a dumb brute which, as I later came to know, held in its poor carcass more love, more loyalty, more gratitude than could have been found in the entire five million green Martians who rove the deserted cities and dead sea bottoms of Mars." —Edgar Rice Burroughs, A Princess of Mars
