The plan is perfect in every way. Everyone where they need to be, at exactly the right moment, with exactly the right smile. You have moved and manipulated the situation, but did you remember to put yourself in the correct position? You, after all, are still a player in the game - whoever thinks they control the pieces still has to make the next move eventually. Whoever is playing the game is playing against an opponent. Ensure that they have not played better than you.

Let's talk about my favorite villains pt 1
Let's face it, sometimes the villains are better than the heroes or they are just as compelling as the heroes. So I want to go over some of my favorite villains which spans back to my childhood, I'll also put villains in quotation marks because some are framed as villains when they really are not (you'll see why).
So let's get into this!!
Eris
Eris is first on my list and- hoo boy! Do I love her so much. I need to re-watch this movie because the last time I saw this was when I was 8 or 9. First off she's a badass and I mean that, she has a plan and she'll do whatever it takes to make that plan work.
Eris is the goddess of discord, and she strikes a deal with Sinbad for him to get the Book of Peace for her. He backs out of the deal though, so she uses her powers to frame Sinbad for stealing the book. Sinbad must now track down the book and return it.
Eris' design reflects her personality and how she stirs up discord and chaos. She's designed as if she were simply smoke, with her form constantly shifting and being able to change her shape and grow. She can make herself tower over humans or make herself the same height as humans.
I always loved her for how she was simply herself while being an unforgettable villainess, her personality is unmatched and adds to why i love her so much.
Ramesses
If you haven't seen the Prince of Egypt please give it a watch it's really good. As someone who doesn't care about religion I feel DreamWorks struck gold with their adaptation of the story of Moses. They paint Rameses as a complicated villain with conflicting emotions.
Rameses doesn't want to let Moses' people go because he wants to uphold the legacy their family's dynasty has built. But, he wants his brother, Moses, back. This culminates in their sibling relationship shattering.
Rameses is not a black-and-white villain, he is 3 dimensional. But, he is still evil in wanting to keep the Hebrews as slaves. He is the reason all the plagues are set upon Egypt, resulting in his sons death.
Rameses is an interesting villain you'd have to watch the movie to really get what I'm saying about his character.
Ratchet and Madame Gasket
Putting these two together because they are a Mother-Son duo. Ratchet deals with things on the outside while his mother, Madame Gasket, deals with things on the inside with her chop shop. They both want to take over Big Weld Industry and the whole city.
These two are HILARIOUS, Ratchet acts as a sophisticated, well-put together person with a plan, but is actually a scared mama's boy. He has very hilarious scenes and lines, his interactions with his mother are also hilarious. One of my favorite scenes of his is the one where he knocks out Big Weld and says this: "Oh my god I'm as crazy as my mother!!....HYAH"
Madame Gasket used to terrify me as a child, and I can see why. She is ruthless in her approach while also being a doting mother to Ratchet. She collects 'Out modes' with her sweepers to turn them into metal to create new, shiny parts. She even got her husband out of the way so she can focus on her plan of taking over Big Weld Industries. A villain who will get rid of anything in their way is terrifying.
They are both defeated with Ratchet being chained up by his father and Madame Gasket being thrown into one of her machines.
Tatiana
A character that's posed as a villain but is put into that light. Yes she is wrong for Vinyl City's power outages, but she knew what kept the city going. She used to be Kul Fyra, leader of the rock group the Ghoulings.
I won't go much about her her because I want to talk about her in full but she is so well written. Am ex rock star that switched to EDM now has to deal with a musical revolution. She sees B2J's revolution as irrelevant because nothing will come of it.
As she points out they made the same amount of energy as EDM and that they went into this without a plan. They would put people out of jobs and cause a revolution from people who live EDM. She's the common sense B2J needed.
Fairy Godmother
You should not be surprised she's on here. She is an icon when it comes to DreamWorks villains. When DreamWorks villains are mentioned, she's the first one to be brought up.
She is portrayed as a caring individual but is a selfish person who wants her darling son Prince Charming to be king. She uses the fact Shrek took a potion to make him and Fiona human to her advantage. She makes Charming pretend to be Shrek so he can get closer to Fiona.
She also is a master manipulator, basically threatening the king to do what she wants him to do. She wants Shrek out of the picture because "Ogres don't get happily ever afters." She wants Fiona to have the picture perfect happily ever after married to charming.
Yes her entire scene at the ball is stunning. The red dress is so good and fits her character perfectly. The rendition of Holding Out for a Hero is absolutely a banger and is a go-to song of mine.
Iconic villain and has had a lasting impression on me.
Mother Gothel
I grew up with Morher Gothel as a character. Both her Disney and barbie version, which I'll talk a bit about here and in a dedicated post about early 2000s barbie. I love her character very dearly. We are talking about a gaslighting, manipulative person.
She kidnapped Rapunzel because of her hair, she doesn't love Rapunzel she loves her hair. Meanwhile, in the Barbie version, she's a cold, distant person who kidnapped Rapunzel as revenge. But we're focusing on the Disney version here.
She makes Rapunzel believe she loves her, makes the outside world to be dangerous, and manipulates her into thinking Flynn Rider abandoned her. She was willing to murder to keep Rapunzel's hair to herself. As all she cares about is her beauty and youth.
She is a master manipulator and an amazing villain as well.
Preminger
Ah Preminger one of the best Barbie villains. A villain with a great plan that fails miserably. A villain with hilarious scenes.
Preminger wants the crown to himself amd at first plans to marry Annaliese. But when that goes wrong, he tries to marry the queen. But that also goes wrong.
He has hilarious scenes such as him knocking on the cabin door to see if Annaliese is still locked in there. To the hilarious scene where he almost faints when finding out the princesses wedding will be next weak.
Preminger is the most loved barbie villain for a reason. He's dramatic, funny, and cunning. His sidekicks are hilarious and give a lot of laughs. His dog is also a great component of his character as he is an extension of Preminger.
End
Well that's the end of part 1, I have 4 more I'll discuss in part 2 so keep an eye out for that.

Sindria's Prophet Concept Art #2
[#1]
This time it's drawings of interactions between Mori & Sinbad that I made while working on the first few arcs. They're mostly flirting drawings tbh XD Some of these were done because I wanted to test out outfits next to Sin, or scenes, but mainly it was because I was feeling self indulgent.
This first set was made when I was still figuring out the dynamic, and wasn't super sure when I wanted certain events to happen. Sinbad likes stomach out fashion so I focused on that for a while.
These next ones were made after I had a lot more of the over arcing plot figured out. These are just as much outfit tests as they are scene tests. Most are from ideas for the Announcement Arc, but some are for some arcs I have planned for later -not sure if all will happen though
Next is the drawing that defined the style I make the illustrations in :3 This was for the final scene of chapter 4 that I really liked (for obvious reasons), but I realized that it was too rushed (for obvious reasons) so rewrote a ton, and it was making that rewrite that I realized I wanted to start posting. Anyway, here is the drawing and how I edited it to make the style:
The edited art for the Spotify Playlist:
((Posting these is making me want to draw more things like this again XD))

I know you’ve once said that Judar was one of the queer coded characters but can I just say how gay Ja’far was for Sinbad
Even since Sinbad being the first to help Ja’far from his trauma in AoS, his love for Sinbad was more then just admiration and respect
Not only does Ja’far truly understand Sinbad on a personal level (as we can see with him watching Kougyoku and Alibaba) he was also stated by Shinobu Ohtaka that the kingdom of sindria were the two things Ja’far loved most (tho I am unable to find the source so I can’t confirm that)
Even if that wasn’t canon, I definitely say it should be true since despite all of the previous stuff, Ja’far’s final lines were “Sin, I’ll know you’ll be back” IN THE WHOLE MANGA
I don’t know if this counts as a reach, but the fact that Ja’far’s type of lover, is someone extremely loyal to sindria has got me thinking… hmmm
:0000
Okay on a personal level SinJa hurts my HEART because of everything they've gone through together, Ja'far was always so loyal to him even to the end and I don't doubt that he forgave him for every single thing despite Sinbad doing things that cannot and should not be forgiven
Ja'far is definitely on my radar (gaydar) for being a queer coded character, and I genuine believe that Ohtaka wanted to include more of that kind of representation too since if she did all of this research on other countries there's no way in hell she didn't see how the LGBTQ community thrived in these other countries
Maybe that's putting too much faith in her, but who knows
Back to Ja'far though, part of that loyalty is just kind of growing up with Sinbad and looking up to him for years even though he's a pretty shitty role model all things considered, and he didn't have that for the first part of his life
It's hard not to fall in love with someone like that sometimes
So yeah Ja'far's probably gay af no matter what, the gays trademarked platinum blonde after all :3
