I need to take a moment to appreciate Ogata's artwork for DMC because what did they put into that artstyle oh my god (also I have a bunch of the art they made when they first started to work on Visions of V and I want to share the ones I have saved)

#btw if you have a DMC artwork that you can't find or was lost to Tumblr and you posted it around 2019-2020 I might have it saved to a folder #before i had social media I would literally save everything I found #i dont have the credits saved for any of them though because younger me did not think to do that #shame on her #dmc #devil may cry #if there are more now send them to me they are like drugs to me #i love this style so much #visions of v is just eye candy the entire time

cw: harry potter, jk rowling, transphobia

I occasionally see posts/get messages about the various harry potter references in the bright sessions, etc. and I've gotten a bunch of new followers recently so just so any new/younger listeners of my shows know:

jk rowling is a terrible transphobe whom I hold zero respect for and I haven't given a dime of my money to her since she revealed who she truly is. I want the whole bright universe to be a safe space for trans people (including the trans folks in our cast and crew!) and if I could go back and remove those references, I would. but I can't! harry potter was an extremely significant part of my life until...well, until it became very clear who she really was. it makes me so sad to think that folks might be finding TBS now and get thrown out of the story by these references, but just know that the people who made the show do not stand by jk, and that in many ways, the show is a product of its time.

#the bright sessions #harry potter #jk rowling #transphobia #I know there's PLENTY to say about the bigotry in the actual books and I think there's a lot of merit to those criticisms #and I'll own to choosing not to see some of that stuff before all this went down bc the books were meaningful to me #(this is not HP specific - another beloved childhood book series that was EVEN more formative to me growing up) #(is also something I've grappled with in recent years bc I think the author is actually probably wildly misogynistic) #(even though he's never behaved badly (far as I know) in his public life - there's stuff in the text) #BUT ANYWAY #it can be so hard to remember that we didn't have ANY inkling of her bigotry in this regard until 2018 #all of the original run of TBS was written before that #and I'll admit I gave jk the benefit of the doubt in 2018 re: her liking that tweet! I wanted to give her a chance to learn and grow #and she did....not do that #but TAMA was written in that little grace period #and then a few references in TCT were taken out during recording bc june of 2020 was when she really started to go mask off #and so we were making changes in real time #we didn't know what to do about quidditch #bc we were like 'this is a sport that people play in college and it's just called that?' #'and it's already canon that caleb plays?' #and it wasn't called quadball yet #anyway not trying to make excuses! #just know that none of those references were put in with any malice #and I guess I *could* go back and rerecord all those lines and replace them #but I know enough about my original audio engineering to know that it woudl be VERY hard to make it sound natural #and idk I do think there's something to be said for not covering up errors in old work #I'm not going to try to pretend HP wasn't important to me #EDIT: I've turned off reblogs for this post #also this is not me trying to tell other people how to approach their own HP fandom #fanworks especially - there's no benefiting jo in that - and I think it's totally legit for ppl to want to take HP as their own!

style experimentation stuffffff

#big fan of when ppl stylize objects like this . its real good #not sure if ive entirely captured what im trying to go for yet but WHATEVER im having fun and dont hate how these have been turning out #ii clover #ii suitcase #bfdi book #inanimate insanity #bfdi #osc #scribbles #bright colors #eyestrain #id in alt text #(was originally gonna post this when i first drew these which was likeeee at the very start of the year i think #but i never got around to it. so uh all thw previous tags r kinda old #i dont feel like rewriting them. #anyways uhm. been wanting t o mess around with this kinda style for a while now #like as far back as 2019/2020 #never got around to like. commiting to stylizing characters that much though cuz uhm #idk i was lazy??

Idk guys the older I get the more I understand her (Revival Rory)

#‘it’s unrealistic that she’d flop so hard after being a successful overachiever in school’ well actually that happened to my good friend me! #I think she would’ve been more well received in a post-2020 world she was ahead of her time #not the wookiee thing though #Gilmore girls #tays takes

[giddlygoat]

i was inspired by some really cool work by @dogsamadoodles to create an au in which wallace invents a translator collar for gromit. her art is the only place i’ve seen this concept so i’m giving her a shoutout!

#sorry for the ping out of the blue! i love your work though! :’D #wallace and gromit #w+g #wallace and gromit fanart #oh btw i first discovered your art in like 2020? i think #but i hardly ever use insta and i didn’t realize you had a tumblr until Today lol #your au just stuck in my mind for ages and i wanted to take a similar concept and make something. it’s just so cool! #oh and merry christmas lol 👍

I did a survey on my Instagram about what people wanted to see for Inktober, and it turns out a lot of Whouffaldi people still follow me because this fanbase is dedicated af, so I figured I should get some practice in.

#doctor who #dw fanart #whouffaldi #clara oswald #12th doctor #twelfth doctor #kat arts #fanart #I have the power to draw people in whatever I want even though I like to be relatively canonical #so 12 is in a hoodie #he's in the game 7 hoodie from Obvious Shirts #I got to draw 11 for a BBC thing years ago and I put him in a Cubs beanie so #so in my headcanon the Doctor TOTALLY went to game 7 of the 2016 World Series #I haven't drawn whouffaldi for a long time because I'll be honest the DW fanbase has had me discouraged since 2020 #I don't think I'm big enough of an artist to be proven wrong tho #but prove me wrong please

Since I've been jojoing it up lately, I figured I should bring my old Part 4 OC from 2020 back and revamp her

I first created her before CDDH was announced, so does that mean I technically predicted Hol Horse being in Morioh? ;P

#my art #dawnsies art #jjba #jojo's bizarre adventure #jjba oc #jojo oc #hol horse #jjba hol horse #dawnsies ocs #oc: cal horse #dawnsies fankid logic circa 2020: if hol horse truly has ladies round the globe then surely the condom failed at least once #or as my friend put it #'bro is whoring it up and you're helping by naming his kids for him' lollll #i mention cddh but i still need to actually read it. i've gone thru the summary tho #i remember thinking back when it was first announced 'oh cool i can use this for my oc lore' and then i promptly forgot about it 💀 #i didn't include the og art i made of her but just know she glowed up for realsies #hol horse did not get that glow up bc its actually my first time drawing him so he looks a lil weird #i'll figure him out eventually though #i'm so bad about continually drawing my ocs but i am going to try!!! i do have several ideas for her after all

In the tags of my previous post, I mentioned that the prime reason behind Hydro Man's redesign was so that I could have a portrait drawn of him for the finalized version of Mega Man Ultimate's stage select, and seeing as I haven't shown its updated version since 2020... here are the eight robot masters of the Synth Legion in all their glory! 💙🏳️‍⚧️✨

(Psssst! You can find individual pins of every Synth Legion Number's portrait as well as a full stage select shirt over on my RedBubble store!)

I've still yet to post the CEN units found in Ultimate's triad of special stages 👀

been thinking about the liyue gang and how id draw their physical builds so here are some thoughts i had for xy cy and gm in particular

- xingqiu, unsurprisingly, would be quite lanky. i like to think he has broad-ish shoulders, like a thin athlete's build? hes a long boy to me haha, long face, neck, limbs, fingers etc, so naturally hes stands (comparatively) tall at 5'6" or 5'7"

i like to think hes most physically attractive one and has that handsome princely and boyish charm to him because it adds a lot to his fuckass duality LOL

- chongyun is a lot like xiao imo! short stature but with muscular arms. he seems nimble and flexible because of his normal attack animations (which bears a lot of similarities to xiao's actually! this + the fact that chongyun's normal attacks create gusts of wind further reinforces my hc that xiao trains him). sometimes i watch high energy choreography vids on youtube and some dancers look incredibly light on their feet, almost like their body is inherently bouncy? and i imagine chongyun to have that agility to him. chongyun has a delicate face and aura and i let that bleed into my hcs for his fighting style and physical capabilities hahaha. hes kind of like a cat who's deceptively strong. as for height.. just a few inches taller than xiao, so perceptibly short at 5'4"

- ga ming my new beloved. pretty much similar to chongyun but more muscular and stronger just because he wields his claymore with ease. theres a noticeable weight different between cy and his claymore the way he lugs it up after he swings (or even other claymore users like razor who, on his last hit, bounces from impact). meanwhile ga ming literally slams his to the ground LOL. i love his movements though hes very swift and expressive and radiant.. if cy has delicate movements then ga ming's is fierce and (charmingly!) assertive

ga ming is wonderfully charismatic though, i know hes not well known in liyue harbor yet, but he seems like the type to gain a reputation from his friendliness. how could no one adore him hahaha. 5'5" for height! just between xy and xq

#tangy talks genshin #chongyun gets analyzed most my bad #this was super fun though #while thoughtful ; genshin chara designs will always look distinctly gacha and flashy so a lot of the designs kinda blur together in my hea #this is why i really like looking into their animations particuarly their normal attacks #i think it conveys their personalities really well! it's always something to look forward to when new characters release #i gravitate towards swords polearms and claymores most though because i like the act of swinging and slashing hah. it also requires a lot o #body movement and reflects a lot of irl martial arts fencing and other combat techniques #sword users are always really fun to watch because theyre inherently graceful hahah. i will admit it gets kinda repetitive #i think my favorite NA animation has to be albedo's.. very simple clean and refined. he stands elegantly and puts his arm behind his back o #his 2nd attack which ive been transfixed by since be first came out in 2020 LOL. i love albebo #wow these tags are long as hell #but anyway i actually have more thoughts on xq's physical appearance but its just me rambling about how i think hes funny as fuck #im a proponent of dashingly pretty princely xingqiu not necessarily because i want to bestow upon him desirable traits #but because i think its funny knowing hes just a bit of a loser under all that #hes well known (mr worldwide one might say) and the heir to a prestigious guild and chivalrous talented and prolific #but he writes self insert novels hates carrots had bad handwriting sings really bad #hes just a teenage boy #as always i will 100% have more to say about chongyun but ill save that for another post #ga ming on the other hand.. i dont have anything substantial to say but hes super fun to think about #hes such a likable character #wow these tags are LONG as fuck ill stop now.

the reason why bejeweled feels very calvin to me still is how it parallels high infidelity. in general, the 3am tracks seem to explore a darker, more explicit side of a storyline that’s already present, if only in the form of subtext (like we don’t have a direct parallel for wcs, but we do have two songs exploring formative past relationships vaguely sexually, and wcs is the darker example), on the main album, and bejeweled/high infidelity is perhaps the best example of this. its similarities to tolerate it, which is about something she felt ‘at one point in her life,’ back this up. HOWEVER, I do think it’s exploring a potential outcome of the then-current state of her relationship with joe. like, this is how things could go - I have forgotten that I have a man in the past, and I can do it again.

#it is not fully joe and anyone who comes to me with bUt ToLeRaTe It Is ClEaRlY a JoE sOnG #no it’s not #it’s literally just not #I don’t see that dynamic at all #‘you’re so much older and wiser’ #they weren’t having the greatest time in fall 2020 but it’s not bc she was watching him sleep #are there shades of how she felt yeah okay maybe but I honestly don’t even think she saw it that way at the time #the parts about putting someone on a pedestal and using your best colors to paint their portrait was always interesting though #but I digress #bejeweled #tolerate it #high infidelity #midnights #ttpd #I actually had an argument about tolerate it in a tiktok comment section once (not my wisest moment) and this person was like ‘oh but I wasn #talking about specific people in her personal life!!!! just her music’ the deflection #like if you want to draw parallels between her songs go right ahead #but #own up to it #have a backbone #sorry I’m sleepy #anyway my beloved muricans are asleep and my dash is quiet now

I think some part of me will always be that kid walking out of a huge movie theater into a grey overcast afternoon not realizing her world was about to be permanently changed but feeling changed already herself by the animated Disney film she'd just seen that she would spend a year acting like she was too cool to be affected by, even though she'd never cried at a movie before that and and the cries from the speakers were still ringing in her ears on that cold, overcast afternoon, right before her world changed

#so I saw big hero 6 when it was first in theaters but not at my hometown theater bc we'd been visiting several hours away #and decided to see the showing at the movie theater in that bigger city while we were up there #it was the first movie I'd ever cried at and I pretended to be too cool for school even though I knew #even at 12 years old #that that movie had deeply affected me #i will not bring this anecdote back around to where you all probably assume it's going bc for once that isn't the point #the point is. it changed me and I think there's a part of me that is still in that wet chilly damp parking lot #walking out of the regal theater in fairbanks alaska #this is definitely inspired by Eden's batman 2020 post btw I just. some things stay with you or you leave a piece behind #and that can in many ways be good #Lu rambles

i haven’t really looked at this blog in so long and i have so many half finished drafts that i never posted and posts that i was meaning to queue but never did

#it’s kind of eerie #like i just exited this site one day and never came back #reminds me of that old post about how there was a day your parents put you down and never picked you back up again #i wonder what i missed is there new lore #is tumblr better or worse now #is there a fic or blog or some other fan work everyone’s obsessed with #what happened the last time i was active here #i think maybe 2020/21 #marvel accidentally made sb canon again in what if #is sb canon again again #what’s the big marvel ship #i think the last thing i saw was nwh #what did i even talk about here #oh i do remember this though #not an incorrect quote
