you know what's so gd impressive about ofmd? like, maybe the most impressive part of the whole already very impressive show? how well-rounded the characters are for how little time they have to be on screen
i spent many years in the fandom of another ensemble cast show that had a million seasons and hour-long episodes, and maybe like, five of the characters were worth the time of day. ofmd, tho, not only has an incredibly quality core cast, but even the characters they introduce for five seconds manage to have depth and appeal
take ned low's crew for example. we have a bunch of people who take up maybe a third of the episode's screen time, but by the end, the script and acting are so good that you're rooting for them as they unionize and sail away to greater pastures
then you have characters that are great on their own, but also enhance the main characters in the span of like six seconds
evelyn? a godsend, 11/10, want her back, and she was the impetus for mary taking control back over her life. steak "steaky" knife? rip big man, we knew you for two minutes but loved you, and you gave us slight insight into izzy's history/influence on the republic of pirates. hornigold wasn't even really hornigold and yet we /still/ managed to get backstory about him and learn things that added context to how ed turned into blackbeard
honestly, the amount of talent it takes to be able to make almost every character on the screen someone who either 1. drives the plot forward somehow, 2. is just delightful and entertaining, or 3. is a combination of both, all within a space the size of a needle tip is fucking astonishing. as a professional writer i am horny for how well these mother fuckers hone their craft, and as a fan of the show i'm just extremely well-fed
i've said it before, but this is genuinely so much more than a gay little pirate show (although it is also that, and i love that about it). it has so much artistic depth and everyone involved has talent coming out every orifice. i am so glad i have the privilege of watching it. every part of it is so refreshing, i am genuinely in constant awe

Character A and B love each other, whether lovers or old friends. Character A has let Character B down. An accident? A betrayal? And Character B is ferocious, angry, dangerous as a general rule .
Character A is afraid. They stammer an apology. They say it won’t happen again. And when the fear becomes too much for them, they beg for mercy. They say please, please don’t hurt me, I’ll do better, I swear, let me live.
Character B is frozen, hasn’t moved this whole time. They are afraid to move and send Character A further spiraling. Character B is slowly realizing with horror, they think I’m some kind of monster, that I would hurt them. Who am I that the one person I love thinks I would kill them?

Art Fight Revenge: Oop, He's at it Again
Cosmo's apparently at it again, and it's enough to upset Chronos.
I can hear a "How many times do I have to tell you..." kind of speech, can't you?
Character belongs to: @puppythewolf

A DTIYS entry I made for sharli_vivienne's contest over on Instagram. It's her two OCs, Morris to the left and Princess Sylvester to the right.
I went for a kind of cyberpunk/ 80s aesthetic with the background, since the characters put me in mind of that style. I didn't change the outfits this time, this is their original design.
I learned a lot about perspective when drawing this. Also, it's been a while since I drew two characters together. I gave in to the urge of putting in all the detail I wanted, which led to this pic taking me about 21 hours to finish.

⌜Gakuen Alice: Break Time⌟
Imagined Natsume being too focused on the game, while Mikan is too amazed to be cautious about annoying Natsume. Unless he actually doesn’t mind? Hm…
