kavinsky's death is actually the closing arc in a great tragedy to me bc his actions throughout the story are mostly just him practically begging for someone to be on his side, to care about him, to even just look at him. his father tried to kill him, his mother is completely uninterested. he can dream himself as many people as he wants, but they will only ever think of him because he made them to do so. the dream pack are just physical manifestations of his desire to not be alone in the world, to have someone, anyone, connected to him. he so desperately tries to draw some sort of emotion out of ronan, good bad or ugly, because the intense similarities they share mean that he's the only person who might be willing to look long enough to see him. and when it doesn't work, when he realizes it can't, that this world is not for him and he is not going to be a part of it in a way that involves anyone else, he decides that everyone is going to look at least this once. they will all see the finale if nothing else. genuinely doomed from the start. and how truly devastating that is in comparison to the core group the story focuses on, characters that even at their lowest and darkest and meanest and absolute worst have others there with them. characters that always have someone looking for them. dying is a boring side of a life that has nothing inside of it.

AFO as the Control Devil, how would it be?
you would think he'd be more unhinged, but actually, it's just a cosmetic contact lenses change. like, what's his motivation now?? what is one for all, if all for one is about ultimate control--
omg OFA is the fear of the collective. UNIONIZATION DEVIL. IT'S A METAPHOR

the batman's grave #3
[ID: Bruce Wayne in his Batman costume but without the cowl. He's sitting in front of the Bat-computer which is off panel and is holding a tea cup that Alfred just gave him. Alfred asks, “Are you using evil computer skills to commit financial crimes against dark capitalism, Master Bruce?” Bruce smirks slightly and says yes and Alfred bursts into a large smile. He tells the billionaire, “There's hope for you yet.” END ID]

what if even tho sy is just an assistant sometimes disciples ask him questions bc he's weirdly well read for some dude who just spawned in one day and he'll just Answer shit if it's innocent enough. how does x demon fight? where would you find y monster? and his little hyper fixation brain just rears its head. just a weirdly helpful little scrunkly
RIIIIIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT. to the disciples hes just this guy that their shizun keeps around that knows weird obscure facts. disciples go to him like hes their personal xianxia google. i think it would be REALLLLYY funny if when sy realized his position in the sect hed be like "oh god im failing these kids. they need moral support they need 3 meals a day they need to know what kind of plant they can use to ward off Six Legged Snow Panthers" or smth like that. im not sure hes in a good headspace to really figure out how to take care of kids actually

i prefer chameleon over kai, if only for the reason that she actively exploits the appearance of tai lung (as she should), while kai did not bother to show it to us for more than two seconds.

How about Gordon & BoCo for the dynamic ask? I can't remember if you've done them before but it's a dynamic I feel is incredibly fun, especially in the days of dieselization where it's Gordon who's the first big engine to come around to diesels.
Oooh, this one I've done before! (Indeed this is the first time I think I ever got on my soapbox re: a character dynamic, and I've been chasing that high ever since!)
In honor of the ask I've finally gone back and tagged my key posts on their dynamic as #4+d2, so I hope that link takes you directly to them.

After finishing my second concept drawing I realized that Vash’s glasses in this au don’t really have a place on his face anymore. I mean, unless it’s by magic, how are they going to stay on there without a nose bridge?
It’s a little unfortunate though, because it can be a bit unsettling when you look directly into his eyes.
