Side note: I love artists who draw R! Raph like the industrial refrigerator he is
It’s also just fun drawing him built like a semi truck! But I admit, it is hard. My first few drawings of him were… worthy to be burned in a campfire. But I couldn’t give up, I had to draw my favorite blorbo PERFECTLY
So, here we are. I think I do a pretty solid job drawing him! To the point I find him the easiest (not including actions poses because AAAHHHH)
He square. You have to draw him like one!
Well, you don’t have to but I think he looks cooler when he’s drawn with the shape of a mansions door /aff
UGH I TOLD MYSELF I WOULDN’T RANT ok bye guys
WAIT I need to mention how I’ve been drawing Raph with ripped up bandana tails and only recently realized/remembered it’s not like that in the show. I COULD’VE SWORN IT WAS
The Mandela effect is getting to me /j
Ok ok this is getting way too long, bye! (For real this time 💀)
I thought it would be fun to compile all the tutu character themes into one post, especially for anyone who’s not as familiar with the music! I’m almost certainly missing some so please send in suggestions and I’ll add them to the post.
Princess Tutu Character Themes:
Duck:
Tchaikovsky’s nutcracker overture. Fun fact she sings her own theme in the first episode!
youtube
Princess Tutu:
Tchaikovsky’s Waltz of the Flowers
youtube
Fakir:
Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture (mainly when he’s either in a fight or antagonizing mytho or Duck):
youtube
Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade: the Story of the Kalendar Prince (the main theme of episode 12, which plays as he and Duck search for Mytho. It’s also used in season 2 mainly in reference to his writing).
youtube
Princess Kraehe:
Erik Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1 (plays most notably when she first transforms into Kraehe in episode 7)
youtube
Mytho:
Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy (plays during our very first introduction to mytho! If you see him dancing a solo 99% of the time it’s going to be to this song)
youtube
Richard Wagner’s Siegfried Idyll
youtube
Richard Wagner’s Siegfried’s Funeral March (Raven Mytho’s Theme)
youtube
Drosselmeyer:
Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker March, often altered to sound more foreboding
youtube
Miss Edel:
Delibes’ Coppelia: Musique des Automates. Notable because it all but spoils that she’s a puppet for those familiar with the plot of Coppelia
no those aren’t weird sex noises coming from ur neighbour’s apartment; it’s ur local insomniac slap & folding bread dough in the wee hours of the morning
maybe i will elaborate later maybe i won’t but something that i did not catch until rewatching little women (2019) is how greta gerwig has this common thread tying her movies together and that is change. like, yeah okay all movies have change they have to have change in order for the narrative to progress. but lady bird, little women, and barbie are all connected by their themes of change and growing up and not wanting to grow up and having to anyway. it’s why beth has to die in little women—beth represents innocence and childhood and therefore has to die; it’s why lady bird calls herself christine in the final moments of lady bird—her mother was right; it’s the entire thesis of barbie (2023) etc etc.
YD: Oh my god! I'm so impressed with this, I misunderstood you! I thought you were crazy, but you're such a good person. I misunderstood you. It seems like I was a bad person and you were a good person! I apologize.
Mike: Yes, and now that I've given you this gift, you've got to give me a gift too.
In return for the whale, YD gifts Mike a spirit orb! A few moments after this, she mentions she didn't have a paraglider yet, and Mike goes out of his way to make one for her and teach her how to use it. :')
tags and searches are just, like... pages of this shit (this was a search for 'vampire' sorted by link and latest, but this is happening all over the site)
[ID: a screenshot of tumblr search results. all the visible posts are links to sites with a picture of a young woman as the link preview, and a woman's name 1+8 and then a string of random letters and numbers as the link title. The posts are dated the 25th of March and have random, unrelated tags beneath the post. The profile pictures of all the bot accounts are women, with random non-sensical blog urls. END ID]
If you see a spam bot post PLEASE REPORT IT AS SPAM.
(The other strain that seems more deeply entrenched as it's harder to find but always has hundreds or a few thousand notes are the ones that link to sites that generally have a porn-related words on them but with punctuation breaking up the words and accents on the vowels.)
