Fun Fact
Kazakhstan’s Minister of Communications and Informatics has blocked the Tumblr site because it contained 60 sites of terrorism, extremism, and pornography in 2015.
In Heartbreak High Sasha and Spider are not villians. There is nothing evil about them. When watching the show I didn't think anything about their behavior. I thought that's literally how the kids at my school act. They are just asshole kids who won't keep their mouths shut. It's very clear that not everyone went to a public school or have been bullied because those two aren't the kids who hurt people. The kids who are villians are the ones that pick on you for appearance, having a weaker personality, and anyone who is different. Sasha and Spider didn't do that. Yes, Sasha was selfish when it came for Quinni and Spider was a total piece of work. But their neither bullies or evil.
Explain to me your opinion if you think I'm wrong.
Okay so! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back I had a funny inside joke relating to one of my fics where Dedf1sh was implied to be the commander of the octo girls group.
However as of Side Order, I scrapped that since the Dedf1sh in my head and au was DEF not gonna be like the canon one.
So! I created Chorda! Or, Chord. She is the character replacement of that role in the octo girls's lives.
She was once a very skilled and stern leader. Middle aged- and also stood as the medic of the group. Despite being quite emotionally disconnected from the group, Chorda was able to lead them into following her orders one way or another- like how a parent negotiates with her different kids on why they should do what she says yknow?
To Ingrid, she provided her lots of things to do and treated her like a second in command- which boosted Ingrid's obedience since she wanted to be seen as a good and reliable soldier.
To Mira, she didn't humor any of her attempts at slyness and never gave her any reaction if she frustrated her- which made Mira bored of trying to make her annoyed and would begrudgingly follow orders.
To Sasha, she gave a decent amount of attention. Sasha wants praise and for someone to appreciate her- so Chorda also gave her lots of things to do so she could be rewarded with attention and "You did a good job."
To Cynthia, she recognized her natural affinity for agility and would push her towards doing things to use her more effectively.
She used all of them very efficiently as a leader, using their flaws and strengths the best she could as a squad- but she never really addressed their issues or insecurities or tried to fix the hurt in them. She just, used what she had and stayed as unpersonal as possible.
It made leaving them in the dead of the night a bit easier for her during the Inkantation- when she was struck with the memory of who she truly failed. Someone very far away... and who Chorda wanted to reunite with at all costs...
…you can’t “call someone out” for beliefs they no longer hold. that is called digging up irrelevant dirt as an excuse to harass and ostracize someone. i can think of literally nothing more transparently malicious
Almost one year ago I drew and posted here four silly octoling soldier designs as a backup dancer harem inspired by the concept art of Callie having backup dancers.
I decided to redo them! A nice clean redo with more details and more confident character design decisions.
From left to right; Ingrid, Mira, Cynthia, and Sasha. I hope you like them!
I got Sasha and her kits <3 I had sooo so much fun!!
Below are some wip pictures + my thoughts behind the piece!!!
the RGB Version! The lineart isn't colored in properly here.
Some earlier Concepts + sketches!
Many Sashas.. and originally the leaves were supposed to be golden, but it didn't fit well.
Some thoughts:
What i love about Sasha is just how tied to water her life is-yes i enjoyed her Manga a lot, my poor little miserable women <3
First off all, she leaves her happy life as a ships-cat to raise her children. Tadpole drowns early in their lives, putting a Shadow over their happiness. They leave for RIVERclan- where Hawkfrost will die in the Lake while Mothwing lives out a life she is not the happiest with. Its why she is looking at a Star-she may be the last one alive and at first, a life as a medicine cat seemed to be everything she wanted, until she found out about Hawkfrosts Manipulation.
Tadpole holds a star because he is the strongest kit, yet dies first.
The three are symbolised by a feather, the evolution of the frog and death's-head hawkmoth- symbols of death, obviously.
Willows grow around bodies of water and are often symbols of grief.
Meanwhile Sasha can only look down and with the passage of time (-> moon phases changing) see and know that in the end, her trying to save her children doomed them, and do nothing about it but cry.
Kinda depressing stuff for a little kitty in a book :,D
