(And so Luigi dies in Dracula's Castle for the 3rd time.)
In the spirit (haha) of my recent reminiscing of the Belmonts' Smash Reveal, I finally got my mental bum off to make this comic I've been wanting to scribble. Why is this so important? It's important to me.
guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along
seeing a gay middle eastern character with the name youssef (my name!!!) on screen on a major internationally adored show has truly healed something in me that i wasn't sure would ever heal so thank you for that @chronicintrovert, truly groundbreaking stuff
Odette has hard candies in her lil' purse! She'll share with you! If you mime catching the kiss she blows you, she might share two.
Prudence was blackmailed into this.
Standalones of the girls because I like them so much!
The fic by Rockity Sock is still an unpublished WIP so far, but it's really nice and will hopefully be completed and published later.
It begins at the end of the Ultimate Enemy episode, with Dan getting trapped in the thermos. And... I'm not sure how much I can say without spoiling it, but a lot of really cool stuff happens. It's a psychological type of fic, about different types of prisons and punishments, and has time stuff and pocket dimensions, and redemption stuff. (I was only planning on drawing one illustration for IB, but when I saw the WIP, I wanted to see so many things animated. So many awesome visuals. I wish I could've animated them all.)
This is the part I did animate:
He just walked for now, searching for the tiniest crack. The darkness went on for seemingly forever though, and no matter how far he walked it kept on going
Dan kept moving
He tried his best to break through the walls but every ectoblast he formed fizzled out. Fading into the darkness.
Oh, now it makes sense.
His powers are being limited, it takes him a few more tries to believe it. The fact that he’s trapped with nothing whatsoever. Endless hours spent, and wasted. Powers he has built up from the ground with no mentor, ones he trained endlessly after a decade.
Gone, disappeared, muffled. Limited. Dan let out a laugh, one with no humor. A laugh that turned into a cackle, he couldn’t stop.

I need to shout out the Quotations section on the wiki page for "A Tangled Web" (2x77) because reading through these in order literally feels like experiencing a "Previously on" edit that gets put before a major plot episode:
Caleb: (speaking of the captured Scourger) I assume she has not had much empathy offered to her. And thus she offers no empathy, nor will she, anymore. But things maybe would be better for me if there had been a little more empathy, and there was not.
Jester: But there is now.
Beau: This isn't some sort of a weird masochistic self-projection type of thing, is it?
Caleb: Oh, why not both?
Jester: (speaking of the Traveler) No, it's not a cult! It's an organized religion. We're very powerful, and there's a lot of us followers, and ... Oh, shit, are we a cult?
Matt: (as the Scourger) Good men don't conquer. They die and are forgotten. I'll die and be forgotten, but at least I know some of my deeds will have changed the course of history.
Matt: (as the Scourger) "What do you want? Why did you come here? None of this is surprising. What do you want from me?"
Caleb: Maybe if I could talk plainly with you and see one inch of change, I wouldn't believe we're all damned.
Matt: "I hope this lesson has been very useful."
Caleb: It has. You've made what I have to do very plain.
Jester: (to Caleb) I walk up and I grab his hands. "I just want to say– I just want to say that I know what you went through today in the cell was very, very hard, and probably didn't go the way you were hoping it would. So if you need anyone to talk to about it or anything, I'm here for you, okay?"
Beau: (to Dairon) You told me to seek out the corruption. You told me to trust no one. You told me to find the information. I could be fucking wrong, but I'm doing exactly what you told me to do. What YOU told me to do. Fuck the Cobalt Soul. You're the first person who ever fucking believed that I could make something of myself. I don't know who vouched for me over there, but I'm assuming it was you. I've always assumed it was you.
Dairon: "I am proud of you. You are a fine Expositor. Which you now are, because I say so."
Dairon: (giving advice to Beau) "Pry. Ask. Demand. Extract."
After their first night in the rental house, Dan decided to wake up extra early to cook some breakfast for Nolan! Lucky guy - I think he’s realizing he wouldn’t mind waking up to a sight like this every day!
We weren't allowed to make an eating disorders awareness bulletin board at my high school but I was allowed to use the words "Thin, where the Hell have you been?" without any question in my grade 10 art final project
