[Image description: A digital painting based on the film Ladrones de tumbas. It depicts the character Armando laying in sheets as his guts ooze out of a large hole in his stomach. The blood travels up to his face which is turned to the side in anguish. One of his hands lays near his face. As the gits drip down they transition into a bright red pile of abstract circles and some other shapes. In this pile there are the words "el tesoro". The colours used for the piece are mostly blues with reds for the gore and some purple and greens mixed in. The rest of the piece is a dark void.]

Etho doodles in which I let my inner dinosaur nerd take over 😔 and also have no idea how to shade
Get it cause he's old and washed up haha... ok but actual raptor Etho hybrid justification below cut
To be honest the main reason was because I really wanted a hybrid in the mix who wasn't some furry creature and a reptile or amphibian or smth instead. Etho still ended up feathered but whatever it's close enough! But for ACTUAL reasoning:
He does feel damn ancient, like an old deity of the mcyt space that no one can dislike. Dinosaurs are the same!! They're old but still thought of with great fascination and fondness, everyone loves dinosaurs...
Dinosaurs are ever so mysterious, as many advancements as we make there's still so much we don't know. Just as we know jackshit about mister Kakashi skin man. Also, there are so many incomplete skeletons out there. I didn't have a particular species in mind for Etho, because where's the mystery in that? He can be one of those 5% skeleton 95% speculation dinosaurs like this guy!! Missing jaw and all
Tumblr media
"I'm a runner, not a protector" - so, a raptor, or more specifically the Dromaeosauridae family, which literally has "running/runner" in its name
But! I'm always a fan of stuff going against its nature, especially in this case! Etho states he's not a runner yet protects his allies rather fiercely even in total silence. Eg refusing to kill Cleo in SL or to give away Tango's location during the LimL manhunt, same for Grian in SL. He was a bit flaky in 3L I think? And he only started to have genuine care for allies in LL with Bdubs? Though he is still very much a runner in many cases like during the LL Wither fight. Research also strongly suggests that most if not all raptors were solitary hunters, and the way I see Etho (through my shamefully limited watchtime of his POVs...) he feels a lot like someone who ultimately only trusts himself at the start even if he's pleasant and allying with others, and doesn't seem to think he can carry his weight in groups though he doesn't voice this a lot. That's just how Etho is, very composed, but it feels like there's an insecurity there, showcased especially in SL but again I haven't seen almost any of his POVs in full so maybe I'm talking out of my ass!! Sorry ethogirls I'm only a sidegig ethogirl myself... But yeah tldr to me he gives off the vibe of an otherwise solitary animal struggling to find 100% sure footing in a pack. In whichever ways he does go against his nature, its not usually made a show of
At the mention of a raptor, a lot of people will probably think of the glamourized Jurassic Park Velociraptors. But those awesome guys from the movies are actually the size of chickens. In general though, dinosaurs tend to be a bit.. exaggerated in media, despite how inherently fascinating they already are. And I think it fits Etho because we all know how the Lifers seem to fear and mancrush on him when he's just some dork with perfect capability to become pathetic at a moment's notice. Still, he's a clearly skilled player and still respected without question Etho's not some killer machine like some people make dinosaurs out to be. He's just a fellow creature fulfilling his role in the ecosystem 👍
dinosaurs are cool
The hook-like sickle claws on the feet... something something fishing rod
I swear I'm not turning all my Lifers into hybrids I'm not!! Still plenty normal humans in the mix I swear....... But Etho is such a radical dude, I really wanted to do something more for him. The whole Kitsune thing that I often see associated with him is really cool. I don't actually know the reasoning for it but I assume something something naruto, but also, him being this ancient mythical cryptid who people know so little about, you know? It makes SO much sense. So anyway I turned him into a dinosaur instead rawr
As a herbivore advocate I also considered stuff like the triceratops (known for how they protect themselves and their own) but nah the raptor symbolism...

okay, so. i have loved pjo since i was 12 and this can definitely be explained also by the fact percy is so freaking hot. this days i was thinking about our boy and just have to share some of the stuff i thought about him in all this years. here we go with some headcanons of bf percy and percy in general;;
• i have a thing for silver chain necklaces. you know, one of this things every hot guy has? yeah. percy does wears one. his mother give it to him probably. and he never takes it off. it reflects the sun when he's surfing, stands out on his tanned skin, touches your face when he's on top of you kissing you or whatever else
• percy IS an nba obsessed. he will invite you to watch the games with him and will give you his personal opinion about the players, the moves, even the uniforms if you want to know.
• he secretly is zodiac guy. like, in front of his friends or any public conversation he will deny it. but if you're into it, and just says something like "our zodiact signs are compatible!" he'll be happy about it and feel like he's part of something magical, you know? like he's known all along that you're supposed to be together.
• talking about interests: he definitely will listen with heart eyes whatever you talk about. books? shows? basketball or another sport? celebrities drama? taylor swift folklore's love triangle? he's here for it. laying on his bed with you sitting by his side telling him about it, and he's just staring at your beautiful eyes and playing with your hair
• he also love movies. he has an letterboxd account which he is religiously active on. also, he give extra stars to the movies you watch togheter just because he is on a good mood.
• btw, when he's calling you to watch a movie, it is to watch a movie. boy take the movies thing really serious.
• he will be watching barbie AND oppenheimer. and he will take you to both.
• percy can't sleep without being tangled with you. he's an huge touchy guy, bear hugs, forehead kisses, hands on your waist, head laying down on your chest. he just loves the feeling of your body with him
• bro is an biology princess. is the only thing he really found interesting. he loves nature, the sea, the animals.... everybody knows he's going to do marine biology. he's not an working-on-office-all-day type of person so 99% of chance of him working saving marine animals on an research group.
• his instagram profile would totally be about animals he saved. him just doing ✌️🤘👉👍with some type of turtle or an aquarium of clown fishes
• you gave him different marine stuffed animals and he keeps it on his shelf, right on the side of a picture of you and him on a beach day.
• as soon as he gets money, he will take you to a summer on greece.
• he is so fucking loyal. he CAN'T like anyone else. he just thinks about you. in a way that is almoust obsessive.
• also, kind jealous. okay, im trying to be nice with him, he's very very jealousy guy. not because he doesn't trust you or your love for him, but because he doesn't trust other people. at least, thats what he says everytime he sees this one friend of yours
• percy is a tattoo guy. he will have symbols, greek words, abstract stuff, strong animals.... and your initials on his chest once he knows for sure you're here to stay.
• i saw that jeremy allen white keeps a letter of his wife with him to read when he's missing home and i just can't get it out of my mind. percy will totaly take a small peace of paper with something you wrote to him when he's traveling to research or smth and read it before going to sleep 😫😫😫
humm alright. i think that's it for today. i love percy he's so fucking sweet. also, english is not my first language and i had never write for tumblr before soooooo sorry for anything.
hope you enjoyed and stuff 💪
HEY! we have a part. 2 :)

My headcanon (?) of what Danny from Wayne's Haunted Mansion by @tathartiel would look like as a vigilante
I love this fic to bits and as everything I love I overthink about it, and I started thinking about what he would look like if he became a vigilante with the batfam. (considering Bruce’s track record, and Danny’s need to help, I feel like it’s inevitable lmao)
It’s mostly just a slightly tweaked version of his hazmat suit + a white clockwork style cloak. I made sure to add a lot of armor around the knees, shoulders, elbows and knuckles and not much else because id imagine like black bat, he doesn’t run in there like the others, instead waiting all sneaky like for the perfect moment to jump out of the shadows.
The mask was originally just the top part, which is shaped like the bat symbol if you couldn’t tell, but then I realized this Danny has a very noticeable scar on his mouth and I’m not about to pull a Jason Todd and have a major definable feature just hanging out (seriously dude cover your hair) so I added the bottom part as well. It does detach tho! So he can eat bat burger with the fam afterwards:) the eyes of the mask are either black or ecto green, which Danny controls by feeding ectoplasm into it. I saw someone do something similar in a fic but I don’t remember which one, but I thought it was cool. I also added it cus Dannys a ghost, he likes causing mischief and spooking people, it’s in his blood! And seeing two glowing green eyes appear out of nowhere in the shadows is very spooky.
Also we got service dog/guard dog Cujo, the best boy, and Nightwing congratulating Dove on his first patrol! “Good job on your first patrol, spooky!”(My handwriting is trash I would have fixed it up but eh). Why give him a scythe, you ask? Well, why not? In reality I doubt he’d use one in this fic but also he has an extremely rich and specialized family, if no one in the fam can teach him then they could easily higher someone. So why no :P
I definitely intend to color this, but I’m to lazy and tired rn and I just wanted to share cus this design has been plaguing me for a while. Luckily the sketchs turned out good enough to post 👍 I hope.
(Edit, posted a little comic of him)

Random Band!Mizu hc
Tumblr media
Her Bass
This bitch plays bass change my mind
She played acoustic guitar first but liked the way electric bass sounded more
Her bass was a hammy down from Eiji
He taught her a little but told her "if you do not learn from your mistakes, you have learned nothing" and left her to it
She started when she was 14 and the first day she played after 15 minutes she yelled "I GIVE UP!"
Then the next day she played again
Then did the same thing
Over time she got really good at it but she played differently then others because she had no help involved and learned what was best for her
She snapped one of her strings once and thought she broke the whole thing. She didn't even know they COULD break
She ran to Eiji having a whole break down and he just laugh
She got it fixed and felt like a dumbass
Her bass is this matt navy blue color and has a Japanese wave design strap.
Reference ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tumblr media
The Band
She joined after meeting Ringo. He saw her bass in the corner of her room and bombarded her with questions and if she would join his band. She was anxious but said sure
But her first practice when she saw Taigen she wanted to break her bass over his fat ass forehead
Taigen is lead guitar
Ringo is lead drummer and side singer
Akemi is lead singer and plays the piano in some songs
First practice she spent it learning from Taigen which was super fun to watch
"So then it's a E string-" "Taigen for the last fucking time I play bass you idiot" "WELL I DONT OK GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK!"
Akemi record so many fights between them its insane. She could ruin both their careers if she wanted to
She HATES being in the spotlight and thank God Akemi and Taigen take it.
She never liked being seen and normal stands near Ringo, away from the light.
And yet people still make edits of her
First time they played was for one of Akemis friends, birthday
Taigen got drunk before hand and almost ruined everything but some how it went well
Mizu dragged his shit after
Band members
Ringo
He has special prosthetics for his drum sticks so he can easily snap them in. He uses thicker drum sticks so they fit better
His drums are a mix of things friends gave him and his first drum kit. He likes the different colors of his drums, he uses the symbols from his first kit because he likes the sound more then new symbols
Akemi
She plays a shit ton of things that her father wanted her to play, but when she was alone she learned she could sing
Her dad HATES that she's in a band that isn't basic. But Suki always supports her
She has a more higher pitch voice a bit like younger Billie Eilish but she sings like Lacey Sturm from flyleaf ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Taigen
He learned on acoustic first like mizu but he stuck to it
He started playing when he was 12 after finding his grandpa's old guitar in his garage and kept it ever since
Although he prefers acoustic, he plays electric for the band
His acoustic is this basic beaten tan colored guitar with old strings and a basic strap
His electric is this gorgeous shiny sage green color with a dark green strap
Reference ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
I disappeared again guys mb
Also if you guys want a bass player! Mizu x reader just ask and we'll see what happens 👍

Part of an ask from @sherifintown that I answered privately, but I'll answer this part here! ok so here goes. Krueger tattoos, canon and hc:
Tumblr media
Snake/ouroboros (headcanon). From my very old (summer of 2020) headcanon of Krueger having a snake tattoo around his thigh, and that I mention once specifically in Remanence. It became a (double) ouroboros because @chacha-tortuga had this brilliant idea, with its first appearance on this drawing of his. I hc Krueger got it post-mw19 as a matching tattoo with nikto 😌 it nicely encapsulates their relationship if u ask me.
Hyena/chimera (canon). not sure of what creature it is, it looks sick though. it looks like it has leather boots on the original ref. In my headcanon it's his oldest tattoo, that he got as a young adult. A hyena would fit. In my fics, I like calling it a chimera as a little nod to his squad.
A variation of some coat of arms (canon). It looks like the RU coat of arms except for the wreath held in the eagle's left talon, and I couldn't find an actual source on what this exact variation is? I don't have a clue why he would have that. Either a slavaboo phase or he got it while completely high because it looked cool and since he doesn't feel pain normally he didn't mind getting massive ink on what usually is a very painful tattoo placement LMAO. So I don't have a set reason. I hc he also got it before the military, in his early 20s.
Sword and bone (canon). vaguely threatening obscure warrior-like symbols. number is too small to be his killcount that's for sure. In my headcanon, he got it between the KSK and mw19 so sometime in 2018-2020. Perhaps to remember something.
Combat knife (headcanon). I don't have any sfw drawing with this. I hc him to have this right above his crotch for. reasons. 👍

Since I finally had the courage to start posting, I had to talk about this before anything.
Albert and William's relationship. (Hopefully Louis next 'cause he deserves so much more than what he gets in the manga)
This is really long so you may wanna scroll and move on👍, but if you are prepared to read through a probably hour-long ramble of these two then you're welcome and very much appreciated 🫶
⚠️Mentions of suicide/suicidal thoughts⚠️
Chapters 62-63 discusses it anyway so let's go by them:
Before William, Albert was sickened by the way society operates (the whole "upper class is yay and working class is ew" system). He tries to change things locally, since, as a child, his changes were small, helping out at the church, buying the kids at the orphanage books and donating money (in this case, asking his father?) for necessities.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He knows he, alone, can't change it and is actually satisifed with the fact that whatever he does would still make things better, even if a little.
His views about himself change when he comes across a man who stole bread. He pays for everything that man has stolen and gets him a job (at the church/orphanage), believing he had done the right thing. What does that man do? Try and steal the silver cutlery Albert brought for the church.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Side note: I love the refrence to Les Miserables, a favourite french novel of mine, in which the mc Jean Val Jean steals bread but the kind Bishop of the town sees him and pays for everything Jean has stolen. The Bishop gives him a home, but Jean ends up repaying him by stealing the Bishop's treasured silver cutlery. Now that sounds familiar, huh. Jean is caught by the police and brought to the bishop to confirm whether or not Jean is lying about the bishop "giving him the cutlery". Instead of confirming that Jean was lying, the Bishop smiles and says yes he gave them to him, and proceeds to give him a pair of silver candle-stands saying "You left in such a hurry you forgot these". Concluding, Jean promises himself to live an honest, better life after meeting someone like the Bishop. (Jean becomes a symbol of equality between the nobles and the commoners, helping the poor and never patronizing it)
Albert hopes his actions are seen as that of the Bishop for someone. That someone would be so moved by Albert granting them a second chance, that the person would become better and try to better the world as well, and so he does that for the man. Though that backfires horribly, and the man kills someone/himself (it wasn't clear in the translations I read if he unalived himself or someone else).
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This takes such a big toll on Albert mentally he decides he's the "wrong" one born into the wrong world, not the "right" one born into a wrong world. So he decides to unalive himself (reading that ch. for the first time hurt). But doesn't have the courage to, which makes him feel worst.
Tumblr media
WILLIAM FINALLY COMES INTO THE PICTURE AND SAVES HIM IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE AND THE WAY THE WHOLE PANEL JUST GOES FROM DARK TO BRIGHT? ALBERT'S EYES ARE SO CLEAR UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS PANELS WHERE THEY ARE DARKENED.
Tumblr media
William not only returns Albert's beliefs that the world itself is wrong, he affirms it, and the fact they haven't even spoken yet when this happened says alot about what's to come.
"He existed, here in the same world, someone with the same soul I had"
Excuse me while I sob about how much I love the characters' interactions and relationships in this series.
Anyways, Albert investigates him and finds out about the trial William won (that's a topic for another day for sure because that trial was lowkey funny to me). He realizes William is the one with the courage to change the world. And so he talks to him, and William's response further lightens up Albert.
Tumblr media
WE'RE BACK ON WILLIAM BEING A SUN THING AGAIN, WILLIAM'S LIGHT NOT ONLY SHONE ON ALBERT. HIS BODY AND SOUL HAVE BEEN "BURNED" BY IT.
Ahem anyways, even though William had the "wisedom" and "courage" Albert desired, the "courage" wasn't enough to make that ideal a reality (at that time, Albert didn't actually believe William was serious about killing). He, Albert himself, also lacked that courage and wisedom.
Tumblr media
That's why, he asks of William to give it to him, the courage, not just courage, but the courage necessary to kill and continue to do so until the ideal world is achieved. As well as the wisedom to achieve that ideal world through these killings. (since obviously killing without a thorough plan would just be pointless mass-murdering)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Now William leads the way for Albert by killing Albert's biological brother, og William, and I headcannon (since we don't see William's face while he kills for the first time) that William sucked it up and (maybe) showed Albert a relaxed/nonchalant face to make Albert feel better about doing what he wanted to do for sometime now but couldn't. With profound courage, Albert choked his mother to death.
Friendly reminder for the next few ones that William is canonically a "kind child".
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here Albert's interpetation of William as a child is a bit off (William later kindly refutes the whole "making no distinction between good and evil"). But it goes to show how Albert saw William, and seeing him in this kind of light heavies the guilt of what he asked of him.
I loved all the religious references in this chapter but the forbidden fruit Adam and Eve had is my favourite.
Tumblr media
This panel ALONE says alot about just how important and precious William is to Albert. Albert also places more guilt on himself by saying that he ignored William's "screams" even when he knew. But the fact Albert knew in itself says alot because if there is one thing William never discloses about himself, it's what burdens and saddens him, so Albert and ONLY Albert knowing shows how much William trusts him. (again, William later states that Albert was actually the closest one to know of William's true grief AND comfort him).
Tumblr media
Albert finaly realizes. The courage and wisedom he "borrowed" from William wasn't a one-time thing he used to take his first steps. All this time, he has been using it as a light leading his way and now that William is gone, he's lost again.
ALSO I MIGHT BE TAKING THIS TOO FAR (it's getting too much but I am an overthinker🤷‍♀️) BUT THE WHOLE LEFT CORNER PART OF THE PANEL BEING DARK AND THE "DOOR" SIDE BEING THE ONLY LIGHTED/WHITE SPOT. AND THE FACT THE ONE BEHIND THE DOOR IS WILLIAM. IT'S LIKE IT'S JUST YET ANOTHER INDICATION THAT WILLIAM IS ALBERT'S LIGHT.
Tumblr media
Thank you lots for staying with me, it geuinely makes me happy knowing people, even if there are few, who share my enthusiasm are out there <3.

okay so i've started watching Euphoria with my girlfriend (unfortunate for us since its trash) HOWEVER we have been coming up with an absolutely unhinged Saltburn crossover AU (we're only halfway through s1 so bare with me).
It's 2019. Saltburn's canon happened 12 years ago.
Guidance Councillor Farleigh, back in America, in his early 30s, having to deal with everything that's happening at that fucking high school
absolutely winded to meet this kid who's just like eighteen different problems in the shape of his dead cousin (Nate)
also hates this kid (for obvious reasons) but can't say that (because he's a guidance councillor)
Nate doesn't want to be seeing him but has to because he's being made to for various reasons
Farleigh makes a call to Oliver (again, twelve years since that summer at Saltburn)
In this version, Elspeth gives Oliver the estate and passes 10 years after that summer, so Oliver's been dancing naked and fucked up on coke and unprocessed grief and misplaced triumph for 2 years already.
Farleigh, knowing fully that both Nate and Oliver are unhinged and that Nate is probably just as capable of murder as Oliver is if pushed to it, knows this will go badly.
Either Oliver will take care of his Nate problem, or Nate will take care of his Oliver problem. Either way it's a win for Farleigh.
Except Oliver chooses the Secret Third Option and seduces Cal Jacobs (Nate's Dad) which for Farleigh is the nightmare scenario.
The worst part is that he has to act like he didn't orchestrate this situation.
Nate, furious in one of his sessions: - and this GUY who keeps HANGING AROUND MY FUCKING HOUSE keeps calling me FELIX even though I've fucking TOLD HIM NOT TO!
Farleigh, who knows exactly why Oliver Quick is calling him Felix and can't tell Nate why, and is also In His Own Personal Hell: Yeah That Sucks I Wonder Why He Does That, That's So Weird.
Oliver, because he's a little freak of a man who's still obsessed with Felix Catton and the Catton family has even more misplaced triumph because he's twisted it around in his head so he now has this idea that he's symbolically conquered all of Felix's immediate family (Cal taking the place of James who managed to "escape" him)
not sure what happens in the middle, but I do believe Maddy could take Oliver in a fight, and I also think she should be the one to kill him.
I think she and Farleigh are bros (in the way that you can be buddies with certain teachers) and he reassures her and helps her cover it up and get away with it.
thanks i hate it here 👍(<- said by me, my girlfriend, and probably farleigh too)

alright it's official I'm rooting for Ozzie/Fizz/Blitz/Stolas polycule 👍
"You've lived rent-free in Fizz' head for years, so I can't help feel he values your take on things." - Ozzie going to Blitz for backup
Tumblr media
"Well, my special skills are killing things without giving fucks and pointing out people's flaws... alright, count me in!" - Blitz being Blitz
Tumblr media
"Come on, it's just like old times. I'll make sure no one gives you shit today." || "You mean besides you?" -Blitz & Fizz banter gives me life
Tumblr media
Fizz covering Blitz' ass after Blitz insults Mammon, love that
Also another Fizz-Blitz banter moment: "He thinks he's funny." || "Offended." (Fizz & Blitz, respectively)
Tumblr media
the ATTITUDE. Blitz coming in with the comeback and Fizz changing up his posture/attitude to match Blitz', just. Them.
Tumblr media
He protect 🥺 but also the fact that he didn't kill this guy right here for everyone to see after seeing Fizz' expression hh
Tumblr media
Blitz is so gentle with him now that they've made up I love him. We all know he's a softie underneath but ya know, ya love to see it
Don't have a screenshot for this bc it's a whole scene but can we talk about how before, Blitz claimed Fizz didn't have to try for anything, but in this episode Fizz is saying how he needs to do this to prove he's still good enough and Blitz (as well as Ozzie) are telling him he doesn't need to prove anything? Just. Ugh, THEM.
(also Fizz finally calling Blitz "Blitz" and not "Blitzo" I'm hhhh)
Tumblr media
"That guy is a fucking dick, and he's USING you for everything, 'cause you're likeable, and he's a fucking trashfire."
Tumblr media
Blitz' absolute worry when Fizz runs.....
Tumblr media
Unrelated to Blitz and Fizz' relationship, are we gonna. Uh. Talk about how Fizz' scars aren't pure white? Blitz' are but Fizz' aren't (Blitz' scars are the same color as Fizz' foundation). I assume it's a stylistic choice to show that he hides his "undesired" markings here (the makeup comes off and shows his original markings, and having the area around it be different from his makeup better shows what's going on) and they're actually the same color but I thought it was interesting. Also the black of his horns is super faded out so...
And of course that whole scene with Ozzie was heart melting but enough people talk about that, so moving on-
FIZZ' SONG. God it was so good. And Mammon just dancing along... beautiful. Fizz quitting so publicly, YESSSS KING.
Anyway this
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I hope we see more of them honestly. Blitz becoming Fizz' go-to bodyguard/Blitz just sitting in the rafters of his shows waiting for someone to be Weird™ would be so fun actually. But also probably the first time Fizz has been so DELIGHTED to see Blitz kill someone they are everything to me.
Again I would need a whole video but Fizz ripping his clothes as he goes as he sings his "I fucking quit" song, I hope it means we get to see him out of the clown costume/persona (tbh it would delight me if he ditches it for good, ripping it up isn't very good symbolism if you're just gonna put it back on again). I want to see more of who he genuinely is <3
VERY sad it took Fizz so long to finally see/understand what Blitz saw immediately. Wonder if things would have been different if Blitz had just... told Fizz what he really thought of Mammon when they were younger. If Blitz' opinion mattered so much... of course, maybe he did. It would explain why if Mammon was the one to separate them.
Tumblr media
just them <3
Tumblr media
"So, uh.... who tops?"
This is so funny but also Ozzie's smile I love that. They all know the answer.

I felt like blue was a swaggy color yesterday 👍 so I doodled with it 😼 can you believe? Men in love? That’s so cool, shoutout to them. Did I make one of Maine’s bracelets a centipede? Yes. Why? I thought it’d be pretty cool. (rants in read more)
Tumblr media
Shorts weather goes crazy, it’s been 50-60° up here lately and lord it’s so hot, but summer is usually 70-90°+ and I hope it stays 70
I think. Alaska’s favorite color would be blue. I have reasons.
For one, a lot of his state symbols are blue, and I’ve always associated ptarmigans with a soft light bluish greenish cuz my elementary school was fantastic and lovely and the school’s color was that and their mascot is the ptarmigan, it’s a native school
Second, he likes space… which has a lot of blue usually, I’m not really sure tho
Third, if he’s a whale expert he probably really likes sea creatures, not to mention having more coast than the whole lower 48 combined and surrounded by three seas and two oceans; plus, moose are known to actually love to swim so much so that orcas are one of their predators
I looked at a ton of native beading and kuspuks and a very very common color was blue and purple, I’m assuming it’s cuz it contrasts with the usually fur made clothing (I think Maine has gifted Alaska with really nice beads before, hopefully as a bonus they were not plastic, thatd be pretty cool)
lastly, blue isn’t really known to be an overwhelming color? I’m not too sure, but it’s usually known as a calm color, I think Alaska would appreciate that
Which kinda blues would he prefer?? i aint too sure. i havent thought that far yet, but who says he cant like many blues
Another Alaska hc is that Alaska used to be bad with alcohol. I read Russians introduced natives to hard liquor to gain advantages over them, in leading to generational trauma.
Alaska was probably introduced to it when he was young and he figured drinking was the only thing making his suffering by their hands a little more bearable each drop he took. And maybe throughout his lawless territory era it was still pretty bad and eventually during mushing (i imagine he took up a mushing mailing job cuz it kept him away from people the most) he got pretty injured cuz of it and he then realized then that if he continued like that he may accidentally get one of his dogs hurt and that scared him. He wasn't really bad towards anyone when he drank tho, just very shut down i imagine. But now i think he can handle drinking well, but tries to make sure of what and how much he drinks (my excuse for this is that Alaska has strict drinking laws, its illegal to even get drunk in a bar, but i think thats for the better. The roads are dangerous enough as is) as per the awa'uq massacre, awa'uq means "to become numb" and i think that would be how Alaska would describe what it was like for him during those times

um. cschlatt finds out shes transfem post revival. is this anything.
AUGH IT'S EVERYTHING it'suwgwudgdhgh. hold on let me explain.
i think the cschlatt transfem throughline is, again, soso easy to read theres sm to dig into and chew on. i'm genuinely bewildered it's not smthng ppl hve picked up on more because it seems so v clear to me.
guy refuses to accept help bcs he sees it as weakness makes it v clear his narrative lesson is -> he should allow himself support and compassion w/o recoiling, because he's allowed to want it and need it, w/o masking it in disgust or irony.
on that point, guy refuses to see himself as disabled despite having very very blatent disabilities that leave him in horror of himself -> a panicked assertion of power to take back "control". ok ,what is he in "control" of, what can he wield, what can he have a narrative over.
guy likes being called a pretty princess and wears dresses "as a joke", using that same irony coated sheen he uses w a Lot of the things he's afraid of being more earnest in, like his care for other people or his wants. he likes being wined and dined and cooed at, and then reacts to "feminine" things, the possibility of being "not a man", in the same wild rejection as the other two, the rejection of the body. a real man doesn't care if he's betrayed, that's why he takes it so personally. a real man doesn't care abt sm partner, who needs 'em, and thats why the bow shot becomes a canon death that he feels personally heartbroken abt. a real man isn't scared and panicked and a real man isn't disabled and isn't needy. and he definitely isn't afraid. and he doesn't like the dresses. -> well. yknow how it is.
even the gym...we don't know his limbo specifically but i think it's pretty easy to infer that the gym is at least partially a manifestation of it? ghosts are confirmed to be able to be tied to locations, like mexican dream w el rapids. and in his, he has that "control", surrounded by that ideal figure, here he's powerful and on top and sooooo intouchable. the mask worked. and it doesn't actually because it still doesn't match up w how he acts. a "real man" doesn't need anything, doesn't care about anything, and glatt is still still still so deeply needy and clingy and longing for connection, and still tries to mask it w things like "spanish lessons" and "horror mansions" tht end up just being an excuse to throw little parties in. uuwgh. who even ca(blows up 320 walls with my mind)
additionally ppl forget that limbo is supposed t like..not actually be hell lmao? it's torturous for sure but it isn't like. supposed to represent their worse nightmare? it's supposed to, i think, represent a state of being unable to move on. the train that won't ever pick you up. a existence of blankness where you can't feel a thing except waiting for the other shoe to drop. a gym full of idols that you will never be able to "live up to".
bcs of that schlatt is bigender (✌️) to me specifically...cuz he clearly likes Parts of masculinity. the little conman shtick, the big guy-isms. it's smthing he enjoys, but he's v clearly fearful and panicked abt the "Ideal Masculine Figure™️", the mythologized toxic version in his quest for control. the conman thing is fun and easy, and the freaked out assertion of "i'm a man, i'm not weak or scared, i'm not like them." is smthng else entirely.
(and again the symbolism WHATT the fuck was going on in the writer's room. the gym is handled like a trap that he can't get out of by himself, and being in the sun, being visible is tangibly equivalent to being burned. Fucking Excuse Me? Answer My Emails.)
anyways this is very brief and i could talk abt this for 53 years and counting but the thesis statement is estrogen and anti psychotics could've saved her 👍and she does eventually get revived and accepts it abt herself and he's so happy and loved. forever and ever. happy tgirl cschlatt tuesday‼️

Your japanese themed outfits for them were astronomically cute- drop ypir references PLEASE they looking so FINE where did you get those designs avduslfko
tysm! if you're wanting info on how i decided to design them then prepare for a rant under the cut, here we go
Not gonna lie, 90% of my original inspiration for Raph's outfit came from mutant ninja midlife crisis and the battle nexus outfit F!Leo was given. I mean just the description alone made that outfit root itself in my brain for months it's so cool-
Obviously I didn't want to just copy-paste someone else's work onto my AU though, so I did my own research (which I went in-depth about here)
And for the rest of them it was the same process of researching different types of Japanese clothing and consulting The Archives (aka scrolling through the depths of pinterest) for design inspiration, then just throwing something on paper. So they're not 100% accurate to traditional Japanese clothing, I wasn't really going for accuracy as much as aesthetics, but the inspiration is clear enough I hope
Unfortunately, I don't have any specific references to share since these designs came from looking at tons of different pictures and artworks, but I'll go into a little detail on each one:
I wanted to keep the cloud motif but also give each outfit its own little special detail. Donnie of course had a dragon (mostly inspired by his association with the purple dragons), Leo's was the biggest deviation from Japanese inspo with the lightning bolts, which I think is Greek and/or Roman centric? And Mikey got lotus + multiple color privileges. A bit of a treat from one artist to another, lol
Cassandra's had the red sun as her motif, and for April I just reused her jacket's design. It looks a lot like the moon in the context of the outfit's design, which was pretty convenient. Not sure what importance the moon has, but it was a cool contrast to Casey's. And Sunita got cherry blossoms! Mostly because it fit her color scheme the best, though the symbolism didn't quite fit her character. Still, I think it turned out cute and that's what I was going for more than anything tbh
All I can say is to remember one thing above all else: pinterest is your friend but also do your research (especially if you're as culturally illiterate as me 👍)

PLEASE read the full post before response, i am kinda tired of repeating myself. and i am not saying i don't like the tail (i love it actually), but the truth needs to be said AND!!! if i am incorrect, i am sorry for spreading misinformation 🥲
(EDIT: post 1.3 patch update. I am correct, and i am not spreading misinformation. do with this as you will)
edit (adding context): my friend and i (with the help of the internet) have pieces together info from the story and pretty much know what happened in the high cloud quintet and basically this was key info from it that lot's of people are misunderstanding 😎👍
i am so sorry. i don't mean to be that person, but the vidyadhara don't have tails...bailu is the only one with one, and there is a specific reason i won't talk about unless asked bc i know i am right and it would be a SPOILER 💖
but anyways, vidyadhara dan heng (or just all vidyadhara except bailu) doesn't have a tail, so just so you know, it will only ever really be a headcannon 🫡
(btw this is not meant to be aggressive in any sort of way, i just figured people should know, especially when this is an important thing to know for actual game lore later)
EDIT!!! sorry, i should have made myself more clear. i am not talking about his idle, i am talking about base form. also i am pretty sure the one in his idle is simply a phantom one acting more as symbolism than an actual tail. also, i do love reading the hc about him having a tail, i just figured people should know 😎👍
EDIT PT 2!!! also let's say for the argument dan heng's tail is retractable for what ever reason (which it most likely isn't). it doesn't change the fact that current vidyadhara don't have tails or horns (except bailu) 🫡
EDIT PT 3!!! the only vidyadhara that have draconic features are dan heng and bailu. none of the other vidyadhara we meet have any of those features (except the long life and rebirth) because the council (whatever their called) suppressed those powers to prevent the incedent of what happened with dan feng from happeneing again. bailu still has those powers and features for a specific reason that is once again POTENTIAL SPOILERS!!!

BEGONIA WARNING I REPEAT BEGONIA WARNING.
The flowers that Seok Hoon gave to Do Hee are Begonias and I have some shits to say about it. Adding the fact that flowers are not in kdramas just to look pretty.
Begonias can mean gratitude for something, uniqueness and individuality, and justice and peace. But among those beautiful meanings there are others that interest us.
Warning about misfortune: Begonia flowers can be used to warn someone about dangers that are about to occur.
What was what the lady said?
"Good time are always excruciatingly short" 😐
And whatever the crazy family is plotting against her. It can't be her death. That's already a knowing threat so it wouldn't have such an impact for both on viewers and her. It has to be something more nastier and evil like them. They were talking about it before and on the wedding table. I'm just sure it's a separate thing from the guy trying to kill her and his boss.
You can also give the Begonia flower to someone who has been injured or suffered some type of accident.
Like waking up hanging off your balcony.
Be cautious: Begonias can also be given to someone who is taking a trip or planning some type of potentially dangerous activity.
Like solving a murder, catching a culprit, casually existing while all your "family" wants you underground, you know, the usual.
Dark thoughts: Begonias are also related to dark thoughts. This symbolism comes from the fact that begonias are also linked to warning signs and caution. In any case, they are not surrounded by very positive energy, at least in some cultures.
👍.
That was all I needed to know. Seok Hoon, the language of flowers never lies, go to the police and do some confessions. You seem like you need it.
Why would he do it, tho?
Why would he be trying to kill Do Hee?
Did he really kill Miss Ju?
The family is already on something by themselves. And if he wants to kill her, it would only benefit the older of the family. Not him. And this kind of villain does not fit in the sidekick position.
•So, he is not looking after the president's position.
•He doesn't need money. He has a good financial position being so young as we see in the newspaper Gu won was reading.
BUT
If he did kill Miss Ju and she is looking after the culprit it would make sense he sent someone after her while at the same time he could be right beside her, with her trust on him, to know if she is getting closer or further.
Still that doesn't solve the main question.
Why would he kill his aunt?
As I said, he doesn't seem to need or want the power that would come with the president's position. And that's the main reason why all her family waited for her death.
To create caos? To distract everyone while he does his own thing?
I don't know.
I need to know.
And Fridays are suddenly so far away every week that is actually killing me.

Do you think the reason people like The Spot so much is because he’s kind of a sympathetic villain? Like yeah as the movie progresses he gets more evil and wants to ruin the life of this teen boy and he causes some destruction and seeks more power to do so, but I keep thinking back to the beginning of the movie where he’s just trying to steal money from an ATM because he was broke and homeless and couldn’t get a job. Like why does Miles feel the need to stop him so bad, considering he wasn’t hurting anyone at that time? What’s The Spot supposed to do to survive? Apply for government disability? And like sure he got into that life changing accident because he worked for an evil corporation or whatever, but under capitalism most people work for an evil corporations at some point. Do you think The Spot is so likable to some because of his tragic backstory? Or do you think it’s just his holes?
from what I've seen of how ppl act abt him on my posts a lot of ppl are calling him meow meows or whatever so I think ppl are going crazy just abt at the conceptual idea of a nerd guy that eats shit trying to rob an ATM and is funny and a "villain." So yeah I think kind of metaphorically a lot of ppl do just like him for his holes. Not to say everyone is being like that ofc ( I like him too) and yeah since all the concept stuff there is like this hes definitely meant to be likeable and sympathetic. (He also was probably like that for almost a year before even doing anything or crossing paths with miles)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(ALSO abt the ATM thing. I don't know if this is me crazy pattern searching but I noticed a lot of parallels with atsv and spiderman 2 which makes sense bc olivia octavius was the original villain for atsv before they changed it so miles had his own thing. i think the ATM part is supposed to mirror the part where dock ock is evilly robbing a bank and throwing people so he can buy more parts for his evil machine which I also think the spot was also doing because all he seems to be doing in his apartment is building dimension colliders, I don't think he actually has to eat or anything. Still doesn't excuse that miles was stopping a dude from stealing non aggressively but o well he's 15 and it's a spiderman movie and he's spiderman. Long parenthetical sorry)
I think the whole part where he gets more power/holes is also symbolic of him also not becoming human/himself anymore like most spiderman villains lose themselves to their own powers but also becoming the "plot." He was a background character (even according to that concept writing he was a background character in his own life treated unfairly by his peers) pulled to the foreground by miles for miles and I think the vision of spot hovering over a bunch of spiderman corpses means that only miles is supposed to fight him too. He's living proof that miles is supposed to be spiderman and that Miguel is wrong.
So yeah I think he's a cool character 👍

finally got around to redesigning these two so i can finally give them an introduction
This is Loe (he/any) and Gavin! (he/they/it) (Vinnie for short) the Holy Spirit (it/its) is also there
Loe and Gavin are literally just God and Satan. Like, from the bible, and they’re also husbands
cut because it’s long
Loe, aka God, Lord, The Lord our God, Holy One, Him, Father, Father Thou Art In Heaven you get my point is… a character for sure! He is a fun one it’s very silly that i made the guy who’s supposed to be flawless one of my most flawed characters 👍
Anyway, he’s complicated, i’d say he’s doing his best but he really isn’t and that’s sorta part of his issue here :) His shirt also says “I’m God” on it
And then there’s Gavin! Aka Vinnie, Vincent (dubbed by Celeste, no ref for her yet), Satan, Lucifer, The Devil, Devil, The Devil From The Bible, Lilith in some cases, etc etc is also a complicated one but like. I think we knew this.
Now Vinnie is a trickster, a prankster, a scheming little guy, perhaps. His main thing is that he’s a really good liar, and really likes to use that fact to his advantage. Or in other words, he will just straight up lie to humanity about so so many things.
He likes to make himself out as a way worse guy than he actually is, he gives a different name every time he meets a new person, and he likes to just be silly in general. Honestly, get it dawg
He’s also got trauma, because well. We all know his story don’t we? And all that trauma has still been induced by the same guy from all the stories. This makes Loe’s and Gavin’s relationship extremely complicated, especially in the early days, but i’ll get to that lore post later 👍
There’s also that bird. Holy Spirit is technically also Loe, but like, a part that’s split off from him kind of it’s complicated. It’s a silly little bird that’s what it is :) Specifically, a dove, because symbolism and shit. It’s just kinda there sitting on Loe’s shoulder usually
