I ❤️ self-loathing characters, characters who struggle with monstrosity (either fearing or embracing it), characters who are so lonely, who have a gaping hole in their chest, who bottle up & repress their feelings, who claw their way up & have ambitions, who fall down & lose everything, who search for identity & purpose yet can’t see themselves outside of what others want from or expect of them, who are hurt & hurt others, who long & grieve, who lie & pretend. characters who are messy & flawed & human

Fluttershy concept! I have already designed Fluttershy but I wanted to re-do my old redesigns bec I have improved since I drew them!
She is still a Peryton (winged deer) like my last design but I wanted to change her to have a more baby deer like build + I made her main hair and feather color green! I think it works well for her character & none of the mane 6 are green, and if she’s green this makes em more of a rainbow!
(Also yes she has antlers, trans girl swag)

Thinking of Artist!Reader who knew Jason Todd before when they were younger, and had no idea what happened to him at all when they meet again years later-
And just before when they were both kids Reader used to draw him all the time too whenever reader can’t think of anything to draw, which does include color sometimes-
And I am a firm believer in blue eyed Todd first and then green eyed Todd after the Pit, so imagine reader is looking through some old sketchbooks and spots the old drawings and goes “aww I remember that—“
Before starting to realize like thirty minutes in “wait his eyes were blue? Thought they were green..”
And then when reader compares sketchbooks, reader ends up realizing that “oh shit he never wears contacts ever he told me he’d HATE those things what the f u c k happened to his eyes—“
So now reader ends up trying to find out what happened to Jason because they have a gut feeling and reader’s first instinct is to investigate and try and do it subtly bc reader does not want to pry-
So personal investigation ensues along with shenanigans, probably-

Edgy lord/stoic emotionless badass/lone wolf Zoro is literally the worst take, Zoro is an orphan who had like one friend who died and he literally never got over it and he then was alone until he was 19 when Luffy pulled him into what would eventually be their little pirate family. It's not like Zoro self isolates, at most he gets a little in his head about training, but he doesn't actively push people away, he doesn't push anyone in the crew away, in fact he is actively mad and upset WHEN THEY LEAVE. In universe people are intimidated by Zoro at a glance and Zoro isn't particularly outgoing and/or extroverted like Luffy, so of course he doesn't make friend as easily, but when non-combative people approach, he usually does make friends/is friendly with them ie. yasuie, the akazaya, law etc

Okay but watcher originally wasn’t going to leave the old videos up. Like that is something that they backtracked on and are trying to gaslight people about. They did an interview with Variety where they told them that they were going to slowly remove their content from YouTube.
I’m trying to figure out if you’re footstamping at me or what, but babe it’s not worth it.
they’re going to do with their videos what they deem they need to bc they’re not actually our weird friends and we don’t know them like that, they’re guys who make video series who are trying to figure out how to keep a studio afloat in a landscape currently dominated by media conglomerates owned by people like jeff bezos. that is the cut and dry of it. yeah, they probably changed their minds and reversed their earlier decision, but if anything the way people are frothing at the mouth about losing their ~comfort content~ (which. yikes don’t get me started), one would think that would be a relief.
look, I had a whole essay here but I have shit to do so, short version: watcher could have strategized and rolled this whole thing out differently, and who knows, maybe more things will change. maybe they’ll change their content output schedule for their own channel. maybe they’ll add shows or cut , or re-scale for international viewer accommodation. I’d hate to be their PR person right now. but it is what it is. if you can’t pay them, don’t. do not subscribe. literally no one is forcing you. if you wanna see their stuff that badly, find someone who can and password share. they literally said it was fine.
cards on the table, I don’t even know if I’ll be getting a sub until October, or at all, bc I’m a grad student and I have bills. but I’m not about to sit here and act betrayed and hope they fail a. because I’m an adult who understands that no matter the size of the staff, providing employee benefits and insurance costs money, as does making any kind of for-fun content in our current hellscape, and b. it’s kind of shitty to watch people turn around and act like a media company is their friends personally stabbing them in the back and betraying some grand marxist ethos when it’s literally just people who don’t have things like mousecorp and netflix behind them trying to make their shit on their own terms. I’m not going to sit here and pretend they’re some rich greedy corpos trying to wring money out of us poor broke smol beans out of malice when they’re not even in the same ballpark. they’re allowed to ask to be paid for their time and their labor. if people can’t pay them, then they can’t pay them, end of. some things we just have to go without and that’s just how it shakes out; there are worse and more critical things I could be missing out on that I will be paying that money for instead.
but I’m not about to insist their stuff be free forever because ~I want it~. because that’s not what it comes down to, in the system that we currently operate and exist under. I’m not entitled to their shit like that and frankly no one is.
watching people openly hope they crash and burn bc it won’t be free anymore just makes me chalk it up to one more shitty example of how consumer culture has just made people not think about how stuff is made as long as they can get that instant gratification, but like. water is wet, news at 11.
