The top 10 Two-Face/Harvey Dent looks
So I gathered my sister (@steeltypeloverbecca) and my ex (who doesn't really use social media) and together we ranked every Two-Face/Harvey Dent Look that I could be bothered to get my hands on from best to worst. In total we ranked over 200 Looks (general character designs and outfits). We agreed upon where to rank things between us via our emotions, hearts, and feelings. Here are the top 10 that we agreed upon.
10: Samurai Two-Face from Batman Ninja
Tumblr media
What happens when you drop Two-Face into feudal Japan? Why he decides to become a samurai, of course! This one is just a fun Look that plays with the sensibilities of the time period the story takes place in interesting ways. I can't help but to imagine how much of a pain in the ass this outfit would have been to forge for the people in the story lol. But the textures, patterns, and little details in how the two sides of his outfit differ are just great! Huge kudos to the artists who worked on this look! They did a great job! A very fun time travel Look!
9: Classic Look
Tumblr media
The original Look for Two-Face (more or less). This outfit is a classic for a reason and it's completely understandable why people continue to bring variations of this Look back over the years. It works! And I feel like the strength of this outfit has greatly contributed to Two-Face's popularity and continued longevity as a character. I had a lot of other pretty similar Looks to this one on the list, but ultimately his shoes on this one really won us over to rank it as high as we did. Solid asymmetrical character design, our boi is looking good, and this Look is simply iconic in a way that is entirely deserving of a top spot.
8: THE MOST BALLERINA Two-Face look from Batman: Masque
Tumblr media
So I put 3 of Harvey's Looks from Batman: Masque onto the list overall, and all 3 of them made it into the top 10 Looks. But can you blame us!!!??? This was the WORST of the 3 looks and it is simply fabulous! I know nothing about ballet, but this outfit? Fun, flamboyant, dramatic, and probably historically inspired in a way that I know nothing about! It's a perfect outfit for the stage, and Two-Face just looks so goddamn elegant in it! This outfit is a winner and I love it! And yet it is somehow the worst of the three options!??? Surprising, I know!
Tumblr media
7: Ballerina Harvey from Batman: Masque (casual look)
Tumblr media
Whoever decided that Harvey should be a ballerina for this loose adaptation of the Phantom of the Opera, but make it Batman was a goddamn genius! We get all of these elegantly dressed Harveys and they are all great Looks in their own right! Here's a casual one, and before his disfiguration at that too! It's always nice to see a more casual Harvey. And this one is a handsome gent! I'm a sucker for the vest look on Harvey, and the green vest and pink cravat are a great combo. Plus those frills? Great Look. Ionic. Fantastic. So congrats to this look for being the best of Harvey's non-disfigured Looks.
6: Classic Turtleneck look from A Lonely Place Of Dying
Tumblr media
So you know how I mentioned before that I included a few variations on the classic Look in this list? Well, here was one such look that was actually requested! And how can you improve on a classic look like Two-Face's original look? Simple, really! You simplify it! No patterns on this suit, and instead of a dress shirt, he's wearing a turtleneck. It's simple, casual, and it looks GREAT! Harvey's looking ready for a night out on the town or to do some chill crime! This look feels a bit 70's to me, but it's just a great and solid one overall!
5: Phantom of the Opera but it's ballet w/ dramatic cape from Batman: Masque
Tumblr media
And here it is. Peak ballerina Harvey! The best Ballerina!Harvey Look! How can you look at this Look and not immediately fall in love with it! We looked at this and knew. Immediate classic. Immediately iconic! How can we not!? It's just so good! The hat! The cape! The colors! It's simple, elegant, and yet showy and dramatic! This outfit is wonderful in every way and is executed to perfection! It's simply iconic. One hell of a Look! How can we not love it!?
4: DC Legends Two-Face
Tumblr media
Just a solid look with great execution. Everything about this outfit works and to a fantastic degree. It's different enough to stand out above many other black and white suit Looks, and the bright reds of the pinstripes, tie, and face give it just a little bit of POP! Not to mention those simply gorgeous eyes! They did more with the black and white suit Look than many bother to do, while also not over complicating it and keeping things simple. It's just incredibly solid and executes on everything it wants to do with a simple sense of style and panache! A simply great look!
3: Glam Rock Two-Face
Tumblr media
Now this. THIS is A Look! Imagine my disappointment when I was pointed to the Deathstroke comics for a Look, saw THIS on the cover, only to find out that this is not how Two-Face is actually dressed within its pages AT ALL! This Look is incredible. It's glam rock! It's punk! And it's fantastic! A classy suit and one of the few Looks that pulls off using the color yellow well on one side, and just... The coolest disaster of a look on the other! Harvey looks GREAT in pink (and purple), and people do themselves a disservice when they don't embrace that fact! The bedazzled diamond patterns. What looks like bright and messy paint on his under shirts. The torn and battered quality of that side of the suit. This Look is incredible, I LOVE it! This needs to legitimately be in a comic somewhere sometime and not just tease us on the cover! I love this look so much, I would absolutely want a figurine of this Look! This Look absolutely deserves its place in the top 3 Looks!
2: William Shatner Two-Face from Batman vs. Two-Face
Tumblr media
What can I say? We love William Shatner in this household, and a William Shatner Two-Face!? We are all for this! Once again, we have a look that's very much been inspired by Two-Face's classic look. Just a little simplified, and the colors desaturated for the sake of animation and to fit the world and style of the film. But William Shatner as Two-Face? I feel like that casting was simply inspired! The fact that Harvey looks a fair bit like a young William Shatner within the film was just a GREAT decision. Shatner was a good looking guy in his youth, and I think that for a Two-Face look to work, he does need to be handsome on his normal side. Just a great look. And since we love Shatner in this household, we couldn't give him anything less than an S tier rating! S for Shatner!
1: Monochrome suit from Batman: the Animated Series
Tumblr media
And to nobody's surprise, our #1 ranked Two-Face look was his design from Batman: the Animated Series. What can we even say about this Look that isn't obvious just from looking at him? This iteration codified the black and white suit and for good reason! This Look is one that is so classic that it somehow beats out the original classic Look in terms of classic Looks that they keep bringing back! It's gorgeously elegant. It's stylish. It's simple. It's classy. It's just perfect, really! We agreed that somehow the Animated Series made Harvey look MORE handsome after his disfiguration than before it! We ranked how Harvey looked before he became Two-Face in the show. He looks kinda weird originally. But here? Oh. He's a handsome devil here! Somehow they managed to make his disfiguration look classy, handsome, and stylish too! Just like his outfit. Everything about this Look and how it's executed just WORKS! Many have tried to replicate its success, to try and adjust this Look to make it something different, but just as good. None have succeeded. We have ranked many a black and white suit look and none are able to quite reach this peak of character design. So of course it had to take the top spot! It's a good Look, we all know it, and of course it beats out all the others! 10/10 fantastic Look!

What I Would Add To/Change About: Devil May Cry 4
Good day! It’s January 31st, and I actually remembered this year! What did I remember?
THE BIRTHDAY OF THE BESTEST WHITE-HAIRED DEMON KILLING BOY EVER (OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY, BUT HE IS THE BEST!)!!!!!!!!!!
In non-squeeing terms, it’s the fifteenth anniversary of Devil May Cry 4, quite possibly the most divisive of the franchise (non-rebooted)! 
My thoughts?
...Did the squeeing not make it obvious?
I LOVE this game!
My first Devil May Cry game, and it was a great investment! Not only did I find a new franchise to fall in love with, but it’s what got me interested in hack and slash games in the first place! Thanks to this one, I expanded my tastes to a whole new genre!
Sure, it has it’s flaws. I know, they are pretty obvious *cough* rushed development *cough*. Even so, this is my comfort game and I want to talk about it and criticize it with all the respect it deserves. Now let’s get into it!
This is all just my own personal opinion and if you disagree with me, that’s perfectly okay! If you’d like to talk about a point I made, please let me know, but please try to respect my opinion as I respect yours.
Alright! Let’s do this!
Come on!
SPOILERS AHEAD!
As per usual, let’s start with all the things that this game did wonderfully!
NERO!!!
NERO, NERO, NERO!!!!
NERONERONEROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
...I like Nero. (๑꧆◡꧆๑)
Just gonna say it, DMC4 Dante is best Dante, I will hear nothing else. The man was born to be a funcle, it is the obvious path of his character development.
Also he looks cool as a cowboy, I don’t care what anyone says; that look is iconic.
Trish and Lady are back! Re-occuring characters are a thing now!
And DANG! They look hot. Love the outfits! They always look good!
Opera! That whole opening sequence, my boy is a remorseless demon killer who is also such a sweetie pie who gets his girlfriend presents! D’aww!
Fortuna is gorgeous. The bright colors and changing environments really helped this game differentiate itself from the others, but the gothic elements still tie it in. And the enemies blend in while still clearly being obvious they don’t belong in the Human World.
DEVIL BRINGER! The most cathartic gaming mechanic ever! There is nothing more satisfying than getting your enemies health low and pressing that blessed button. All those beautiful combos, savagely ripping enemies apart...perfect for my bloodthirsty son.
Ah, the classic “Church is Evil” trope Japan so loves. Never gets old.
MUSIC! Vocal character themes! That play as you slay!
And man, I love it when a character theme transitions into an opening/ending theme! The Time Has Come/We Shall Never Surrender, perfect way to get energized then cool down.
Did I say anything about Nero yet? Like how he brings a different and interesting perspective to the story? Or how his more emotional and naive personality can be explored as well as Dante’s wiser and cooler one? Or the fact that his willingness to attack humans could lead him to be a darker protagonist than Dante? Or the fact he’s a video game hero that already HAS the girl? Unambiguously? OR THAT HE’S THE CUTEST THING EVER, THE SWEET LITTLE BLUSHY, FACE-HIDING DORK?!!!
And he has a Persona!
AND HE’S JOHNNY YONG BOSCH!
Dante and Nero’s developing relationship. Dante’s clearly just having a good time trolling this little hothead and knocking him down a peg, but still knows when to tone it down and help out. And OHMIGOSH HE WAS CONCERNED! Get those strong male parental figure points! You were born for this!
Ah, Dante mode. Switching the novice’s simplicity for the master’s variety.
And yay! They finally settled on a voice actor!
Kyrie! Cutie!
The FUNNIEST boss fight interactions!
CREDOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! (Ω Д Ω)
And, oooh, I love the continuing narrative from DMC3 that humans can be just as evil as demons. The loose but present repeating elements between the games are so much fun to analyze.
That secret ending. Words cannot describe it’s beauty.
Alright, that’s enough gushing, time to go over what should have been expanded on/brought in but was probably left out because of reasons *cough* rushed development *cough*.
ADD:
They. REALLY should have had more cutscenes between Nero and Kyrie. Y’know, make the relationship believable and well-developed. Establish their dynamic. Maybe have them talk on the phone? It’s 2008, they would at least have cellphones, demon cult or not.
For that matter, give us some more time with Credo: Make us really feel the conflicting emotions when we finally have to face him. Come on, we play Japanese videogames, we’re clearly emotional masochists!
Give. Dante. His. Own. Bosses.
And if you’re going to give us two characters, expand the level count from twenty to forty.
With someone as cocky as Nero is when the game starts, why not show him clearly messed up after losing to Dante? The guy who clowned on him, one of the best in the country? Especially since his inferiority complex was such a big deal in 5.
Give some more time fleshing out Nero’s relationship with Fortuna/the Order, like in the novel? Everyone loves an All the Other Reindeer character and it really could have helped endear him to the fanbase with explaining his abrasive side.
Explore that Nero’s willing to kill humans? The thing Dante refuses to do? He didn’t know that armor didn’t have a person and went straight for the kill, and he had no qualms about ending a seemingly human Agnus. Would have been an interesting point of confliction. Might’ve been interesting to explore in later games...
Show how the events of the game affected the people of Fortuna? We saw the city in ruins, but what about the folks living there? Would they turn on the Order? How would they treat Nero? Do they consider the city worth restoring? How did Nero and Kyrie react to losing Credo?
And now, what needed to be completely overhauled.
CHANGE:
Get rid of the dice game. Leave the puzzles to Dante, Nero.
Maybe make Dante mode a bonus for beating the game the first time? The bonus ending could just be his ending.
Honestly, the game was more unfinished to me than flawed. 
Overall, the game isn’t perfect, but I love it. Whenever I need to just chill out and play something that makes me feel good, DMC4 is my first option.
I’m so happy I picked it up the day I did. I got to discover a whole new way to enjoy gaming and found one of my most favorite videogame characters of all time, along with others that I love. 
Others may see it as the weak link in the franchise, but Devil May Cry 4 will always be my favorite.
One question, though.
Shall we dance?

Kimetsu no Yaiba Character Design: of Giyuu Tomioka, Thoughts and Breakdown
This post in a nutshell is gonna be me talking about why Giyuu's Character design deserves more love! I expected my previous post to have like, zero notes, so I’m already happy that at least a couple of people appreciated it! :) I wanted to talk more and critique about the character designs of other characters, but I’m not sure if I can cover for all them, because I’m sure there’s cultural context to their designs that I’m not fully aware of, due to my lack of knowledge about the Japanese culture during Taisho era, nonetheless Giyuu is my favorite character so of course, I have to dedicate a post just for him! So once again, I’m going to make an honest critique about his character design from a visual standpoint, as well as my own personal opinions about it!
Giyuu
Tumblr media
-He’s got that classic samurai elegance, even if I don't read demon slayer I would already know what kind of a character he would be, strong, silent, mysterious, and responsible.
-I found his design to be really nostalgic tbh, reminds you of the 90s anime boy with spiky hair, kinda like Kenshin Himura. I think that's the selling point of his character design and why many ppl, including myself are immediately drawn to him.
-bc that's also an important part in making a memorable design, basing it on popular tropes that people already know, and creating something new out of it. For Giyuu is his shounen samurai spiky hair is iconic!(being conventionally handsome also helps)
-Though I still prefer his hair in the manga because it looks fluffier!
-His base uniform has little to no customization which shows his practical and straightforward nature, plain, as you can say, which suits his character. I still prefer his look in the manga though, because of the blue highlights on his sleeve, which signifies his water breathing.
Tumblr media
-I also love how you just have one look at him, and you can pretty much tell that blue is HIS color. From his stance to his calm gaze, everything about him reminds me of water, and later, when I learned he is the water pillar, I wasn’t surprised because it just felt right. It shows how his design did a good job in conveying his character through very subtle visuals alone. There’s actually so little blue to his design, yet it’s noticable as accents with the combination of other complimentary colors. The most notable is his deep blue eyes, which well, reminds us of the deep sea. (I'm just weak for black hair blue eyes combo ok)
-With the consistent theme of blue accents on his design, what notable stands out about his design, is of course his iconic haori! That haori alone is easily a 12/10, an asymmetric fashion icon. It’s so iconic that I would see it someone wear it every once in awhile during school.
-What makes the haori so iconic, aside from that fashionable asymmetry, specifically, is that it clashes with his plain uniform, (in a good way!) in short his haori doesn’t suit his personality at all.
-Like why would a guy who's been establish as simple and practical would suddenly be wearing such a colorful haori? "Surely there must be some backstory to it."
This is what makes for a good visual storytelling, as we later learned that his haori didn’t belong to him in the first place. The fact that the design of the two halves are already clashing represents the two individuals that are most important to his life, Sabito and Tsutako. 
-The colors of his haori are clashing, but in a good way because of the use of complimentary color scheme, red and green, where the greens are used in small doses, and are balanced by analogous colors such as yellows and orange. Gotouge seems to be really good with their use of colors in general.
Tumblr media
-There’s  just something very “moe” about his leg wraps idk, it looks so unfashionable on him, but like, in a good way. I can’t help but find it cute how thick it is. I guess this explains why the jp fandom (and also me) really adores him for his “gap moe” qualities. We got this fairly cool looking design and then suddenly, we get to those leg wraps that are just so awkward, just like he is.
-Jokes aside, it’s an obvious visual to his connection to Tanjiro, given how they have the same leg wraps, and possibly by extension, their connection to Urokodaki. I like to think that Urokodaki gave it to them. (that would be cute)
-Some of my own complaints though, will be that, I kind of wished he had a more interesting sword design. I don’t know if it’s just a case of standard-first-character syndrome, but it’s way too plain for my liking, which is a shame because I love seeing the variety of interesting sword designs of the characters.
-Also I wish the anime kept the other blue highlights to his sleeves and his blue hair tips. (though maybe that would make his blue accents too obvious, BUT STILL) I also wish they kept his mask too. 
Tumblr media
Overall, Giyuu has a simple yet iconic design. It might not be up to everyone’s taste, but it is a good design nonetheless, an 8/10 for me. I kind of wanted to make this post for awhile, because I simple wanna talk about why I really appreciate his design. I’ve seen some who say Giyuu’s design is terrible because its too simple, and while it is true where there are cases when a character is under or over designed, a simple design =/= bad design. With Giyuu, it’s clear that a lot of thought was put into making his character design, and which is why I will always have a soft spot for it.

History of Garden Gnomes Thoughts
So a few days ago I posted this article by Max! It is pretty lovely but I do have some responses to it since it has made me think pretty hard about a few things in it!
Tumblr media
Max did an epic job writing this and doing some serious Gnome research! I will say though that I am not sure why he put them in the West... they are all over literally everywhere! if you keep your eyes peeled you will find them all the time!
Tumblr media
I do not like that he says they are just male... that is totally not the case! Female gnomes may be uncommon but they are gnomes! GNOMES DON’T HAVE TO BE MALE!
Gnomes still are good luck charms! Most just got associated to Garden magic instead, not only that Leprechauns exist too and the luck became more their vibe than gnomes but gnomes are definitely lucky little creatures!
Garden Gnomes Meaning
During this section I learned what etymology is, the study of a word’s origin and its changed meaning over time.
Paracelsus gets more explained later but he is used here without explanation as an explanation which bothered me. For reader clarity Paracelsus is a Swiss physician, alchemist, and philosopher. He actually has a lot more importance than they gave him since he is basically the person who made up gnomes! I will post his more in depth crazy article later!
Basically though they believe the word Gnome came out of the Greek language either ‘genomos’ or ‘gnosis’ meaning earth dweller and knowledge. I think personally that a combo of the two is most likely because Gnomes live forever in the Earth really so they are very very knowledgeable about Earthly things.
Petite Gnome In Ancient Rome
The first thing about this section that got to me was the picture... why have a picture without a gnome in it to show that gnomes were in Ancient Rome!
But to be fair I couldn’t find a good picture for it either.... I did find a cool one from Turkey that will be shown off later!
I wish we could see one though and some of the god statues that paved the way for gnome statues! not to mention naughty gnomes since the most common God Priapus had a permanent erection!
Early Modern Period-From Gobbi to Lampy
Tumblr media
So now after all that we finally get to find out who Paracelsus is and why he is relevant! So during the Renaissance Era the gnome statues had a spiritual connection as well! Paracelsus is who said they have magical powers (which they do!!!) So he said they were one of the four elementals or nature spirits that were invisible to humans but belonged to the Earth. Gnomes in particular would come out at night to help the plants grow!
They also had another name during the time period of ‘Grotesques’ which at that time was pleonastical because it was very obvious they were not very good looking at time. They were made a ugly petite hunchbacks. Then painted bright colors and called Gobbi which is Italian for hunchback.
Not gong to lie to you all Gobbi sounds a lot like Gabby and I do have the worst posture so this felt like cruel fate!! But will say totally fits and makes a lot of sense to me why I love them soooooo much!
If I was from that time period I would have had the wealthiest family for the amount of gnomes I have! 
The popularity of gnomes grew due to all of the folklore and stories with them in it! Epp which makes gnome what they are today!
The First Garden Gnome
The iconic red hat gnome came form a sculptor named Phillip Griebel from Germany!! I love love love that his name is Griebel because it is real close to me true name Gabrielle! I just feel like it was meant to be! I was always supposed to be with the gnomes! Can you believe all these years later his factory still is there and producing gnomes?!
So a while later Sir Charles Isham showed up and brought Griebel’s gnomes over to England! He was believed to start the tradition of Garden Gnomes in the United Kingdom! Gnomes became nicknamed Lampy because Lamport Hall is what made them famous! There is another article of this coming later ;) One still exists and is being preserved at the family residence!
So fun fact one of my sorority sisters is an Isham! She also saved and preserved some of my gnomes from frat boys so I think it was another meant to be moment! Isham helps ‘Gobbi’ Griebel!
The 20th Century- Intermittent Rise And Fall Of Gnome
So I totally get the less money less gnomes thing but I never remotely thought about how gnomes would be impacted by war so that was an eye opening moment.
Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs restoring the glory of the garden gnome got to me... awww no way that happened!!! DRAWFS ARE NOT GNOMES! GNOMES ARE NOT DRAWFS! but I kept reading trying to see Max’s logic.... BECAUSE THEY LOOK SIMILAR!? WHAT!?!?!? Oh I can not get on board with the logic here! I think that many other things helped them out way more but hey not my article!
But seriously why that picture? It is not very snow white... guess it is somewhat gnomie...
I personally am so glad gnomes went to mass production or I would not be able to have a lot! I know that the quality is different but I do not think it is lesser and having gnomes of all sorts is so much more of a blessing than before!! Not less artistic either it is just a different artistic expression! The fall from being only for the wealthy is the best thing that could have ever happened to gnomes!
The Traveling Gnome Prank
Since this happens to me a lot I have a bit of bad vibes! I need to find these pictures of the Antarctica gnome travels that started it all! 
Garden Gnome Liberation Front deserves there own posts for sure and will get it but i have a serious love hate with them.... but gnomes do deserve travel freedom! I will say I need more of the epic pictures of gnomes with landmarks!
I have never got one of gnomes back with a travel diary but they really should be! It would make their absence bearable for me!
Amelie is a great movie with one of the cutest gnomes I have ever seen but I will say I hate that it encourages people to take my gnomes on adventures without me!
Gnomes' Red Cap
The Phrygain Cap is the most known thing about a Garden Gnome! I did not know that a gnomes hat had a specific name before this article so I thought it was an awesome fun fact! Really the hat had a whole different vibe before the gnome got to it! But it does make the liberation of garden gnomes and giving them freedom make a lot more sense because those hats used to be the symbolization of freedom and is still worn by nation symbols of France today!
Making of Garden Gnomes
Once again why pick a picture without a gnome in it? I’m sure there are a few of someone out there sculpting a gnome....
Also terracotta clay gnomes are the cutest but also the worst because they break sooooo easily!!! I actually have one I have to fix :(
I need to find all these tutorials and try them honestly!
Types of Garden Gnomes
I am so so glad he amends the male part of garden gnome here and includes females and the babies! Gnome families are real!
Can we just say gnomes are branching out into doing more things of modern culture like playing with a cell phone or being a scientist!
Uses of Gnomes In The Garden
Now the box he puts gnomes in here is not ok to me... they can go literally anywhere and everywhere! Plus they come in so many different forms! Like necklaces, shirts, sheets, the kitchen!!! ANYWHERE! There is a gnome for that I swear!
Gnomes, from Gardening to Popular Culture
So now he kind of shares some gnomes that are not meant to be lawn care takers... once again GNOMES ARE NOT DRAWFS!
I have to admit  I am glad the operating system is called GNOME but I hate when I search gnome and only that jazz pops up!
Social Deomcratic Party of Austria used gnomes for marketing and a post of this will come later because I didn’t even know that existed until this article!
A post of gnomes in the mentioned novels will come too because I need to see the reference of these in some of them... I have no idea where the gnomes are!
Travelocity thank you for using a gnome and its cool pictures but it encourages people to take mine toooo much! Plus my Travelocity gnome named Gnomad has never been returned! A post of their twitter is needed though!
I need to check out the George Harrison album with gnomes... another post that will appear!
Gnomeo and Juliet and Sherlock Gnomes are so amazing I hope they make a thrid! Please Elton John Please!
A post on all the festivals around the world that have gnomes will have to come! I need to know where all of these are!!!!
Truly this portion of the article has made it so I have to go down the well and learn more about these gnome appearances!
Garden Gnome Aesthetical Debate
Why is there a picture without gnomes in it?!?! Seriously they were jsut let in so they better be int he picture!!!
2013!!!! 2013!!! The gnomes were just accepted in 2013.... that is crazy to me! I am so glad they are allowed now! Next is to get rid of the gnomophobes and garden snobs!!! 
Conclusion
Garden Gnomes are just a big part of life and if you say otherwise you aren’t using your eyes! I don’t think they are a stereotype either!!! or a sweet cliche!!
Yes I do have garden gnomes in the garden but I don’t really have a garden...
Gnomes are Beautiful artistry and the best creatures on the planet really! If you think they are expressions of bad taste we can’t be friends!!
YESSSSSSS GNOMES ARE JUST SOOOOOO CUTE!
I just did a whole response to your article so I will skip writing in the comments :P
Tumblr media
Welp that concludes my thought on this article and it taught me a lot and gave me a lot of other gnomes to look into! I hope you feel the need to check some of these gnomes out as well!

Drunk Lair Review: Kael
definitely almost spelled that kale, so thanks for participating! :D Let’s hop right into this, I know I kept my fans waiting ;) @fr20866 its your time to shine!!!
Okay, I want you to know, that I was sincerely stumped by your lair. I was seriously wondering if my internet was shitting out on me. But no, a SIGNIFICANT PORTION of your lair is dressed in the goddamn invisible cloaks and it fucked me up. Jeeeeeezuzzuuz. and based on my understanding (please correct me if im wrong) everyone labeled Rock is kind of a filler space. Like you like the V shape pattern you’ve got going on so you have these dragons called Rock to fill in your lair space. That is so creative and I’m very into that!!! That said, I’m gonna grade your Non-Rocks :D and also is everyone a gen one? Because that’s POWERFUL. 
First off, I rather enjoy Meleo! The Abyss Skink color gene combo just gets me right. you know what i mean? that shit gets me RIGHT. I LIVE FOR THAT SHIT. I love his bio art! How neat is that! and he’s even got stats, which as a DND player, I can always appreciate! And the little bit of lore you have in his bio hints at an ability to change color at will! Can I just SAY HOW AMAZING THAT IS JEEEEEZ I want more of him. Make him important!!! All of your dragons are soo cool and im so into whatever aesthetic you’re cultivating! I want more!!! Tell me about how he uses and abuses his color change abilities. Tell me about how he hides in the darkness or blends in with the earth rocks. I WANT IT ALLLLLL.
Next I’ve chosen Sethen, who can I just say is one of the brightest, cutest boys ive ever seen. Like what a fucking peach. I feel like hes the dude that takes you out on a museum date and buys you ice cream. Never done anything wrong in his life. Look at his bio art!!! A GOOD AND PURE BOY and I will take nothing less! I also really adore his minimal apparel. I can definitely appreciate when apparel doesn’t cover the whole dragon but rather accentuates its features. I mean I cant relate but you pulled it off so well (I love apparel so much I just want dragons head to toe covered, help me)! Also this bitch is fucking stacked like hes a colosseum lvl 25 get #rekt. You don’t have lore for him yet, but I really just envision him as a cute little man (maybe some sort of historian? Lore keeper? I cant shake the nerd from my mind) who serves his clan somehow. Don’t let me influence your decisions tho ;P 
Omg next is Ark, who is by far one of my faves. I look at him and I just feel the Paladin mojo emanate from his form. I feel POWERFUL when I look at him. He could definitely hold his own in a fight and honestly? Id let him save me from a fire. And I don’t say that about a lot of dragons ;) He’s also super old (love itttttt) at a hot and spicy 4 years and I love that. I’m trying to spoil some of my older dragons too. I want them to feel all the love. Stern, conscientious, loyal. YESSSSSS I feel it!!! And im sorry, but im such a lore slut for complicated backstories involving secret trysts with hidden eggs. A lot of my dragons have weird complicated headcannons like this because I LOVE IT. Also his colors are awesome but that’s a given. And I love his bio header. Okay I need to move on before I drool 
Wow, I love Numedha. Like, love love. I love her. She’s so badass. I can tell on ONE glimpse that she knows what she’s about and I adore it. I LOVE HER CHARACTER ART IN HER BIO OK THAT’S GOALS and im definitely not biased towards red dragons, no way, shape or FORM I swear. And her stats are so fitting omfg. I just love a rebel without (maybe with) a cause and I want her to have a bad attitude, just middle fingers out, fuck the cops, fuck the rules, cause same. God. Any character that can make me feel like this deserves all the love and attention I have. ESPECIALLY LADIES. We don’t see enough ladies that can hold their own in combat or story telling. But I guess that’s a rant for a later date lmao. Anyway, her aesthetic is my aesthetic and I love her to bits! 
Last but certainly NOT LEAST is Tyrane. I, personally, would love if Tyrane just came in a ran my clan for a while. This girl is hella organized, just based on first impression. Her little bio says shes sarcastic and shit, and I adore it. LOVE IT. Gooooood character. Also AMAZING GENES can we just discuss the power of skink/alloy. It’s underrated. Two of my fave genes for sure. Like, not to be weird, but I’m pretty sure Tyrane owns my ass in some way shape or form. She found it at an auction and bought it for cheap. SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING MY DUDE. Everyone, please go look at her. She is absolutely gorgeous and if you want to see an excellent execution of purple/pink go LOOK AT HER BODY. 
Also at the end of the day please make an RPG with these dragons as the main characters. Or something. Give me a story because I love all of your dragons so far and I would die to see them all in action. And maybe an explanation for the Rock trend???? It’s amazing, and leaves me in confusion, so you know its modern art. That’s iconic. Thank you so much for your time and I hope this was at least a little entertaining. I loved looking at your lair!
