"What do you mean their name isn't Beef?"

(for @moondal514)

#TGCF #he xuan #I only know TGCF through having multiple people try and explain it to me + watching S1 of the animated series. #And fandom osmosis of some characters and plot points. #So I had a genuine 'A platypus? *PERRY* the platypus?' moment when doing research for this prompt. #My method for drawing novel characters is to read their description + personality and make a few drafts from there. #Sometimes I get curious and look up official art on a wiki. Ensue the: “huh who is this (sees the female form) I KNOW WHO THIS IS” #Anyways this is actually just a warm up. An unprecedented part 2 comes tomorrow. #Because the journey of “How *would* I draw he xuan?” took me on a wild journey that nearly drove me into madness. #Spoilers: its not how I drew HX in this comic. It's more...on brand for this blog. Lets leave it there. Everyone gets a 24 hour warning. #Thank you Moondal514 for pushing me into the deepest waters on this one. I am forever changed.

#uh just a heads up if you expand the tags to see all there's. a lot. very long #amphibian #frog #poison dart frog #based on my most popular frog to date (day 651) #inspired by everyone pointing out what they think it looks like #here's a fun secret fact the original guy is actually a phantasmal poison dart frog (Epipedobates tricolor) #(according to the original artists title of the drawing) #not Anthony's poison arrow frog (Epipedobates anthonyi) #i feel too awkward to really point it out though because they look the exact same. i cannot tell if there is a difference #im half convinced the same frog was just discovered and named twice #its very curious btw if you go on the (english) wikipedia page for either species it doesn't mention the other #while hereptiles.info (no idea if this is a trustworthy site) lists both names as common names for the same frog (incorrectly??) #while inaturalist lists them as two different frogs. curiously with tricolor having wayyyyy fewer photos #ok anyway that's my rant i went on a whole journey trying to figure out if these are the same frog or not and i have no answer #i did some more 'research' and i am more confused. some sources seem to imply they are now considered the same species ( e. tricolor) #i think my conclusion is i am willing to agree the drawing looks more like e. anthonyi. it seems like tricolor is generally less vibrant re #and the white is darker and more green? #i feel like thumblr should stop me from typing more in the tags at this point this is a whole essay #at this point i am failry convinced this is specifically the Santa Isabel frog. isthat the real subspecies or morph or whatever #or just the name pet sites are using to sell it?? #i even found some sources (frog selling websites) refering to it as “Epipedobates Anthonyi 'Santa Isabel' Phantasmal Poison Dart Frog” lol #Anyways if you read this far hi. species are confusing. i am not a frog scientist #the first few tags are like an hour old now i just kept trying to figure it out and adding more tags

From 14 yrs old to 23 yrs old, I think I've learned a few things over the years can't believe I've had this hobby for almost 10 years at this point

I like to think she's really happy with what I can do now, I hope she knows she rules for how happily she enjoyed drawing without any fear or shame (shout out to the rp blogs that are the reason I more or less join tumblr so I can throw fanart your way cause I enjoyed their stuff so much)

#laughing jack #creepypasta #drawing #digital mess #tw clown #haven't used those tags in 5 scrillion years #I'm hella curious if anyone that followed me in 2014 is still around and if so; #hell of a journey over the years- dont know how I went from creepy clowns to wario-like yaoi either dDFDJBG

Tiny details I noticed from the Layton series:

Katrielle's sofa is shaped like her hair:

In the Promo artwork for Miracle Mask, you can see Stachenscarfen.

This man gets so excited about seeing the Bostonius that he rushes out his house and immediately slips on the ice:

It's not a continuity error that Dean Delmona has white hair in Laytons Mystery Journey. When he's shocked, his hair flies off his head, revealing it to be a wig.

Ingrid and Matthew have to stand on piles of books to be able to see out the window:

Duke makes an appearance in St Mystere despite being from Folsense. And being a hallucination.

The man Grosky fights with in Last Specter can be seen in Prison in the credits of Eternal Diva.

In Eternal Diva, during Puzzle 001, you can overhear two men arguing about the answer.

The two are looking at a fossil of what appears to be a Ichthyosaur.

You can hear the first man ask, "What about that? Is that old?"

Second man replies, "That's a fish."

The first argues back, "It's a fossil you buffoon!!"

I don't know, I thought it was funny.

That's all I can fit onto this post.

Please share any small details you've noticed, I love seeing them!

I Choose ones that are actually sequels, not prequels or inbetweeners (sorry lion king 1/2 and Bambi 2). Also had to be direct to video, not theater release (I'm very sad I couldnt include Return to Neverland but it had a theatrical release).

Theres still others that fit this bill, but I selected ones that I've actually seen/own or ones I thought were "bigger"/better known

#Very curious to see the results #It's so funny how most of these have a secondary title #But mulan and brother bear are just ... 2 #Polls #Disney movies #Disney #Disney direct to video sequels #Aladdin 3 #Aladdin and the king of thieves #Lion king 2 #Lion king Simba's pride #Lady and the tramp 2 #Lady and the tramp 2 scamps adventure #Cinderella 3 #Cinderella 3 a twist in time #The little mermaid 2 #Little mermaid 2 return to the sea #Mulan 2 #Pocahontas 2 #Pocahontas 2 journey to a new world #Brother bear 2 #Disney sequels

Okay question re my journey to you:

The Gong family is obviously pretty wealthy. Nice house, nice clothes etc. how!?! Early investment in real estate? Were they the equivalent of jianghu Lockheed Martin?

#my journey to you #I’m slowly making my way through it #I’m very curious about the Gong family’s investment portfolio

Today I'm in the mood to procrastinate writing a fic and to just obsess over Zoya Nazyalensky instead. (pls keep in mind that i didn't read RoW and am operating on limited knowledge of the duology)

There is a reoccurring theme in KoS that Zoya sets limits for herself even with things she is good at and where supposedly has the most ambition.

She argues with Juris when he tells her about reaching out to other Grisha orders.

❖"…you've been training to limit your power." ❖"Are we not all things?"

She argues with Juris again when he says she could be a Queen — as a ruler on her own, not a spouse. And Zoya rejects the idea.

"You wish me to steal my king's throne? You mistake my ambitions."

Meanwhile she jokingly said she would make a great Queen in that conversation with Alina and others in Ruin and Rising. Yeah, the circumstances and the stakes are very different in these cases but still I find it curious. She doesn't take the idea of getting married seriously and rejects the other option either.

She knows damn well the power of her looks and isn't shy to use it either. And yet she can't fathom the idea of Nikolai falling in love with her.

❖ "…to know if he was as impervious to her beauty as he seemed. to know if someone like him, full of hope and light and optimistic endeavor, could love someone like her." ❖ "He isn't mine to keep." ❖ "He wanted love of a kind Zoya could not give and would never receive."

It is as if Zoya set a glass ceiling for herself and settled for what she thought she could achieve. She can survive the fall but is afraid to aim too high.

#zoya nazyalensky #zoyalai #king of scars #grishaverse #i knoooow she'd gain everything in RoW and am curious about her journey to accept everything she denied herself
