Let’s get the ball rolling over here with some oldish/rough/unfinished doodles of Hades and Persephone from late last year
That middle one is a panel from a fifteen part comic that’s still in its veeeery early stage, but who knows when I’ll get around to finishing it!

It’s my birthday today and as a treat to myself I’m taking my Persephone design for a test drive
She’s telling him about her trip topside and probably spilling some tea about the other gods, Hades loves some solid gossip 🫣

I like to think that at some point in time these two crossed paths
And for that moment in time they finally had someone in their life that understood all their pop culture references

I've seen a lot of complaints lately about the lack of romance in recent Disney movies. Do you think Disney's next princess movie should give the heroine a love interest? (not counting Moana 2 because I seriously doubt they'll give Moana a LI in the sequel)
I think it would be nice to see Disney bring back romance.
They've certainly made enough romance-free movies to drive home the point that girls don't need romantic love to be complete. And for many of us, the love stories are some of the best parts of Disney's animated movies of yesteryear.
That said, if they do give the next Princess a love interest, I hope they don't fall back into the same formula of "bickering to friends to lovers" that they kept repeating for a while. Tiana and Naveen, Rapunzel and Flynn, Anna and Kristoff, Judy and Nick if you ship them... while each of those pairings do have unique qualities and appeal, it's still a little bit formulaic. Disney almost seemed to have forgotten that a romance arc doesn't need to be either "bickering to friends to lovers" or old-school Love at First Sight.
As far as I'm concerned, the Disney Renaissance was the golden age of Disney love stories, because each couple had a unique relationship arc and dynamic. Ariel and Eric's gentle, fun-loving teenage romance – closer than the others to old-school Love at First Sight, but handled in a fresh, modern-feeling way. Belle and the Beast's blend of a rom com-style "bickering to friends to lovers" arc with sweeping Gothic Romanticism, which somehow works beautifully despite the difference between those two genres. Aladdin and Jasmine's bonding of kindred spirits and shared longings, and the conflict caused by their class gap and Aladdin's self-doubt. Simba and Nala's bantering childhood friendship that grows into adult love. Pocahontas and John Smith's Romeo and Juliet-style forbidden passion. Quasimodo, Esmeralda and Phoebus's love triangle that ends in happy romance for the latter two and warm friendship that both share with Quasi. Hercules and Meg's arc of "innocent, kind-hearted boy teaches hardened, cynical girl to love again," combined with Meg's redemption arc as she breaks free from Hades. Mulan and Shang's comradeship-in-arms that ends with a hint at future romance. Tarzan and Jane's bonding through exploring each other's worlds and then each having to choose between their own world and the other's.
Each of these love stories is unique and special in its own way. I hope that when Disney finally decides to do romance again, they'll break away from all earlier formulas and make it just as fresh and unique as those past examples.

I prefer more fluffy animals...ʕ •ᴥ• ʔ
Epel voice: Y'ALL-
I started this with a consistent style in mind but then it didn't happen. But I still like how it came out. ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_
My fav part of the Harvestown sledding event was when I was first watching it with @bunnwich. I paused the video to ask them what animal they would choose to pull their own sled? We both said our favorites: Bear for me and Rabbit for Bun.
You can imagine how I goofy I became went when Idia said my fav animal.
Addition: I did this screenshot edit as an inside joke. but I like it a lot so here! ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ

How do you feel about Dungeon Meshi (i think i spelt that right) getting more popular? I feel like i’ve only seen u post about it but now its popping up a lot more on my twt / tiktok
Mixed feelings! Glad it has an anime now and that ppl are enjoying it, because its really good!
I myself think its annoying when ppl are like "im gatekeeping x media bc its important to me 😡" so thats not how I feel on the other end. It has impacted lots of ppl so if it can get a bigger reach and impact more, thats good. ^_^
if i did not have the time or energy or resources to read it, I would've hated feeling alienated just bc it became a favorite media of mine after the anime came out
Its more like. Idk.
I know ppl who hope it gets Bigger for more official merch but I just don't want it to get Embarrassing ykwim.
I need it to not get so popular that in a few years I'm hiding the volumes from my shelf because its an embarrassing, beat to death thing thats present in every store, backpack, socks, sweater that looks like characters clothing, funko pops, etc. something i cant even enjoy anymore bc its been wrung dry and overexposed and misinterpreted, "of course u like it EVERYONE likes it!" and now I'm tired of it, and wouldn't want ppl to associate me with it LOL 🧿🧿🧿

My mom and I watched Hercules the other night and I thought it might be fun to try sketching a design for a Persephone since she doesn’t ever make an appearance in the movie
I did a bunch of doodles with Hades as well but I’m going to polish those up before I post them
She requested I draw him simping over her and honestly I couldn’t refuse
