#otacon #hal emmerich #the art of a lemon wedge #IM HOPING TO GET THIS DONE BY CHRISTMAS #or before really #once i visit my fam theres a huge pause button i gotta press on anything nsf w #u_u #most interesting thing to me is that mgs 2 otacon has my least favorite haircut AND YET #i always think im gonna hate drawing it but #its not even that different than how i usually draw his hair #EYE feel it tho #that and his circle glasses #i guess the real question is why do i even bother to draw those changes if theyre not my favs? #and thats because i respect his eras #anyways

Y’all ever think about if Sora falls to darkness that inside his heart will look like the Destiny Islands falling again

#i do a lot #kingdom hearts #one of the biggest reasons i think we’ll see something like this in canon. briefly at least #not only would parallel ddd w ven’s heart/armor no longer there to protect sora #and roxas and xion gone from sora’s heart too. so sora would be alone #and actually there as opposed to in the RoL/awake when riku dives in #but also there is no way nomura’s gonna pass up the chance to bring us full circle like this. he loves making his characters revisit/relive #worlds and memories like this to make a point. and sora’s heart was sunset in ddd… following kh1 the dark and stormy night comes next #The thought of sora and riku reaffirming their love and friendship here when it broke the first time the islands fell #both of them having to in a way relive this horrible night for the final time #but riku doing the total opposite of last time. trying to save sora trying to stop the darkness from consuming everything #being totally honest with sora. reaching his hand out for sora but this time he’s not being consumed by darkness. #he’s become the light in the darkness. and they finally reach each other they finally grasp hands. I’m chewing on glass #i don’t think sora would ‘fall’ to darkness in the traditional sense #thematically i think it makes more sense for him to be faced w another martyr choice #though his own negative feelings would still be tangled up in there. and this would parallel kh3 #and if sora chooses to let darkness into his heart to save others it’d also parallel kh1 w riku choosing to open the door/let the darkness #into destiny islands at the risk of others #god it’d be just like kh1 but we’d be playing as riku and he’d be the one looking frantically for sora #a reversed dynamic. but now they understand each other’s pain and feelings so they can reach each other #figuratively and literally #i love parallels i love symbolism i love themes kick my ass !!!!

when toshiro got on laios ass for being inconsiderate and never thinking about how his actions affect others like he was mean abt it but hes not wrong. Thats a pretty major character flaw and a pattern of behavior for laios — w not choosing jobs that made money for namari who is in a pretty dire financial situation where she cant even get off the island and has to go adventuring in the dungeon to get out of debt, who even explicitly brought this up, eating marcilles familiar immediately even tho she was attached to it, kidnapping shuro into his party and putting him in life threatening situations without like really checking he wanted to be there…?, wanting to see if izutsumi has more than one set of nipples when dehumanization is a HUGE huge issue for her the list goes on and on and on. Like when a friend does this to you its just kinda annoying but when ur the leader u really should be checking if everyones needs r met without them telling u. Like the autism plays a factor for sure, his cultural upbringing plays a factor for sure, but as ppl regardless I think u gotta step up to meet the needs of ppl in the moment or realize u shouldnt be calling the shots. just bc its influenced by factors out of ur control does not make it not a serious character flaw. And its written as such in the story.

#It makes him an interesting character w nuance and i like him for it #its a pretty big flaw dungeon meshi hits over ur head several times #And part of his character arc to grow as a leader who can communicate and take other ppls needs into consideration effectively so he can #be an effective king (an ending im still like kinda confused abt like i get its thematically full circle moment and a love #letter to the genre but like WHAT) #Granted ppl in glass houses shouldnt throw stones since shuros also a poor leader (worse than laios) #to the point that i think its a stretch to say it wasnt maizuru leading that party like “shuros party” i mean he sure was in their proximit #but his opinion does actually matter to laios and gets him to listen so ig it had to be said 😔 #dungeon meshi spoilers #Laios touden #But like it was not the first time this was brought up to him… cmon man #Toshiro is a sheltered rich kid with no conflict resolution skills who at least was kept materially comfortable his entire life #tho on the other fronts… genuinely he wouldve been happier if he wasnt born into that family #and when hes angry his actions become vicious and targeted to a shocking degree #but his assessment of situations tend to be accurate to a degree thats surprising for a person from another culture thats only been there #For 2 yrs #toshiro nakamoto #in da tags i suppose #Shuro

everything about this picture is perfect

#his teddy #his batman pajamas #his framed picture of himself and woozy right above the bedframe #the fact that it’s only 10:00 #his little nightcap #the fact that he keeps his glasses on #the circle bed #he’s so comfy #god’s comfiest warrior #plastic man #woozy winks #dc

Crosshair as the Ice Vulture. A survivalist, who picks at scraps because he has to. Looked up at with disdain and no small amount of fear, but ultimately dismissed as a real threat to the Empire. Persistent as he flies above head, as he sticks to a goal.

And lonely, so lonely, facing up against an Imperial Lieutenant that sees him as nothing but a tool. Feeling like he was abandoned by his brothers, shunned by his peers. Circling his path on his own. So tragically, terribly alone.

#things that have the same emotional mental physical feeling of chewing glass #the shot of the vulture over his head. the music. I’m hhfhdhehfhdhhe #seen the argument that the empire is the vulture. always circling. uncaring and inevitable. i can see it but nah it’s more crosshair #ruthless persistent hunting crosshair who’s finally diving down for the kill. finally fighting back even if it means his death #tbb #the bad batch #the bad batch spoilers #sw #Star Wars #z speaks

I know elf eyes don't age the same as non-elven eyes and he very likely wouldn't need them blah blah etc., but as with all characters I grow very fond of, I would like Halsin to have a little pair of reading spectacles tucked in his bag for when he gets around to those aforementioned books the player has brought back to him.

#The text is too small for him to read sometimes - he is big the text is not - sometimes they need magnifying #BG3 Musing #Halsin #Halsin Posting #one of nettie's dwarven friends brought him a pair when he visited at one point because nettie saw him holding his scrolls farther away #in the effort to read them and bending close to write #and they're a little small but they do the job very well - dwarven craftsmanship is unmatched in those regards #when i love a character i give them glasses so they're like me - the circle of life

My dad told me to watch Gungrave with him (we have just watched one episode atm) and I was like wait the vibes, this feels so awfully familiar, where have I seen this, the characters hmm no but I’m so sure I’ve never seen this anime before

And I was right I have never seen it before…BUT… as I google for some facts I immediately found out that Nightow was the character designer along with good sir Kōsuke Fujishima of the og game, and the anime is under Nightow’s name as it seems and I was like—

OF COURSE. NIGHTOW.

#down to the mf glasses. it was the general structure but the glasses. they just felt. Nightow yk. IK IT WAS A TREND THE BUT ITS THE FEELING #ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER LIKE A FULL CIRCLE I CANT ESCAPE THAT MAN NO MATTER WHERE I RUN TO #my dad was like ‘you like Trigun? you might like this the designs are sick’ and I’m like hm yeah they have their charm I’ll admit #I told him ‘his gun is giving Trigun. the glasses. the fit.’ and then I laughed bc I thought that’s so silly it’s just what was on trend #around that time and I’m just really bad into the brainrot there’s now way these two would possibly be related. alas. #apparently Nightow was involved since very early on in the project while it was still in a very essential beginning stage #and you can TELL. it all BREATHES of Nightow when it comes to the character designs like #I dont know much of mr Kosuke Fujishima to tell about his style but his is very prominent too as it seems! as both were essential to the #whole feel for the characters. but for Nightow I can speak and YEAH YOU CAN SEE IT ON THE IMAGES ABOVE. THAT’S HIM AIGHT #yasuhiro nightow #gungrave #lenssi rambles #gungrave anime #having my own christoper Columbus experience rn #I’ll get to ​kekkai sensen too eventually! Nightow is an awesome writer i want to #I WANT TO FFS OQNWK READ. all of his works! so many things so little focus OANWM

i've been thinking about why i love this art of percy so much and ive realized that it's because this is the closest official art that i've seen to my personal design for him alhsgljkalwkj

#the half circle glasses! the simple coat and gloves! the dark eye color! even the direction and shape of the hair spikes #he also looks his age i like to keep that in mind when i draw him too #all this to say. i love this design for percy so much. for completely and totally unbiased reasons i promise #cr #cr1

Decided to clean up and slap a gradient map on that Sandman-inspired Blake fanart.

As always, read Pact here and go watch The Sandman on Netflix!

#blake thorburn #pact spoilers #pact #pact web serial #wildbow #ishdaj art #pact wildbow #otherverse #morpheus 🤝 blake thorburn #getting trapped in glass and a binding circle with nobody but ur bird(s) for company #except blake doesn't stay silent he alternates between yelling and talking to his bird spirits #blake: rip to dream of the endless but i'm different

[desperatepleasures]

haven't even been properly introduced to him yet and he's already serving cunt in the opening credits. major props to him

#kkm tag #no id #i remember liking sara. and then really not liking him. but now i think im coming full circle #him and his stupid hippie glasses and his fur coat

[redjennies]

man, ever since I stopped keeping up with CR, every time I see pictures of Sam, I'm just like "did he always look like my dad or is he just slowly becoming my dad with age?" and then I have to do ten solid minutes of introspection as to why he's my favorite cast member before deciding as I always do when I find myself asking this question, it's because of my narcissism, not because i have daddy issues.

#i mean i am also my father #seriously though grow his hair out and put Tal's circle glasses on him and it's uncanny #joke tag #tess talks

[jils-things]

since i have laras permission to post shit he made heres another favorite old art done by her ☝️☝️

this literally summarizes everything there is to know about these guys

#love this art too hard because like #1) stevaide kisses (which is something im so shy to do) #2) gold and ruby are there #3) gold is angry and ruby's innocence is protected /jjjj #4) oc friend is present (pokelara) (he's babysitting them I think HAJAAJSJSHSJJ #im not sure why but i just felt compelled to make gold this opposing force to not like stevaide at first #i like to think gold thinks people like him are stinky bleghhh and definitely thought steven was a team rocket mf (they all wear black) #so he was immediately against this #he didnt care when jaide (hypothetically) went uhm so there's this guy (i dont think she'd talk like that BUT HYPOTHETICALLY!!!) #but when he saw the pretty boy it was so joever for mister St.even Stone #but eventually he accepts him and they have a funny dynamic going on (where steven tries to make gold like him) #gold actually does start to like him because he actually feels relevant. we all know how the hgss arc went down #still i think gold is still too high and mighty to kinda cave in and go yeah i love my brother in law but he really does appreciate him #and of course - to see someone love jaide. he's happy for her (and like how jaide is happy that gold has his own circle of friends AAACCKC) #WHY AM I SUDDENLY TALKING TO DEEP ABOUT THIS IM #FUCK IT IM STILL TALKING #ruby probably doesnt mind the pda (because he adores them and doesnt feel embarrassed about it) until franticshipping confession happens #because I fucking love the idea of ruby watching his mom just gently mwa his dad and then hes like OH GOD WHY AM K THINKING OF SAPPHIRE EW #(hes in denial ok how long did this boy take to be fucking HONEST WHILE SAPPHIRE TRIED HER HARDESTTO CONFESS MF) #HE WOULD FIX HIS GLASSES AND TURN AWAY. OR COUGH. AHEM. MOM PASS THE DRINK PLEASE (gettin them to stop fucking sweet talking at the TABLE) #SHSBDBBSSJDJSHS OH MANN SEE THAGS HOW MUCJ I ADORE THIS ART BECAUSE YOU CAN GET AN IDEA OF JOW EVERYONE IS HERE SKSJDHHSEJS #💚 for me #lara tag #ruby.fam #gold.fam #stone family tag
