“Van are you okay??”

when your ocean related trauma is so bad the curse affects your prosthetic arm 💔💔

[nekotanx1]

Obviously Van’s curse is that she’s gonna die at sea BUT her prosthetic seemingly ACTIVELY trying to DRAG her into the ocean forcibly is really interesting. Soooooooooooo??? It’s an odd curse for someone from a seafaring family, atleast in the way that it’s actively trying to kill her and maybe it’s just a rule that Chapman’s die at sea, so it might just be a supernatural payback? Because Van abandoned the sea for the sky, thus the ocean like an eldritch god shall it be payed what it’s owed and take her, even, by force.

great episode!

some fun new things we learned:

everyone has homebrewed ship abilities that we're finding out as they play, i.e. dangerous rise, inspiring invective, rain of lead, etc.

monty is a monster hunter ranger, marya is a battlesmith artificer, max is a squared circle pugilist, pappy is a gunslinger fighter, and olethra has no subclass. van is the only unknown, because i'm still looking into her ability set. they seem to revolve around knack points and unarmed combat, with her prosthetic in use as a weapon. if anyone has info lmk.

update: van is a reskinned blade breaker fighter

they all start with feats as variant humans:

daisuke: sharpshooter

marya: piercer

monty: unknown (possibly related to vigilant guide, possibly not)

max: unknown (

van: sentinel

olethra: luck

some fun tactics. i love ally really committing to olethra's 11 hp and staying stealthed the whole battle, while keeping the documents safe

max is so so funny. just chucking guys. the platonic ideal of a gentleman fister.

and the old guard really just having fun with it.

lowkey emotional about how daisuke touches the zephyr when he first walks on again, and how emily makes sure to detail that marya does the same and touches the ship in the exact same spot pappy did. and then, when van and monty finally come on, they all go to hold the lil railing and take a breath, holding onto the ship they had the best adventures of their lives on!!!!!!! CRYING 😭😭😭 THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER BAYBEEEE LET'S GO FIND ZOOD

this season is truly giving us the characters of all time & the players at their best. like:

intelligence-based emily character?? already deadly. she was once the spitfire of the crew but now she's haunted, hollow, vengeful? she might be a revenant bc you can't convince me marya wouldn't live & die by "captain goes down with the ship"? she crashes into a wasp just so she can personally shoot their engine out? she has a pet rat with a mech suit that's more than ready to beat the shit out of intruders? she runs a toy shop with her aunt zuzu? inspired.

nepo baby child of true libertarians beardsley character? & a rogue at that? already getting flashbacks to liam wilhelmina. on top of that she's a trans fangirl that her grandma knew would need to be protected at all costs? you can tell she's imagining herself on an adventure with monty when she's lassoing the pheasants, that "easy girl" is a direct quote. they're at the height of their power.

lou pulling out a ranger, i think the first wisdom-based character of his since kingston brown. he's a bestselling author, he's an environmental advocate, his voice is quiet (very close to lou's eursulon voice imo), he hangs off the side of a ship to riddle the deck with bullets, he's silent when he marks his quarry and kills without hesitation. he pulled his tooth out to give it to a boar. my god he's perfect.

siobhan "i don't think i have any beefy characters" thompson rolling up with a fighter, born into & bred for sailing, fighting, and giving orders. she's never heard of sunscreen, she's the crew's hardass mom, she'll go down before she lets anyone touch marya, she greets adrenaline & blood with the same fondness as her cinnamon roll of a husband. she will protect her family at all costs. immaculate.

zac. fucking. oyama. the old southern man of all time. he's wanted, by the law and by many others. he's divorced. he lived with a pack of coyotes to cope with the heartbreak. he swore to protect your family where you couldn't. he's a gunslinger. his best friend is a labrador that's been called "ghost dog" since he was a puppy 38 years ago. his guns are called "biscuits" & "gravy". you can see some of his greatest hits coming together to form a new fan favorite. brennan WILL fuck that old man before the season ends.

don't even get me started on whatever the fuck Maxwell Gotch has going on. murph, who just wants to be a good good boy and punch bad guys, once again putting himself on the front lines. he's out & proud at college but closeted at home, he loves his grandfather, he's reclaiming "rowdy", he only removes his gloves by biting them. he wakes up every day at 5am to do a thousand squats. he gets bloodlust so potent he damn near kills himself in the process of killing three other dudes, and vomits when he comes down from the high & realizes what just happened. he made dawderdale orgasm just by talking to her. murph's dice have been waiting for this moment. he's pompous, he's violent, we all know he's queer, & he's already my favorite of the season so far.

plus, the npc's? adding wealwell to the long tradition of needing a gilear or alphonse the mule? and you can't convince me that bert isn't going to be the obscenely magic old man this season he's gonna pull a sawed off shotgun out of his aioli or something he's the plug strut of the season i'm calling it.

this season is already so immaculate i am losing my mind

points at her

[nekotanx1]

Emily has a singular ability to emotionally pummel me at the drop of a hat. It was so instantaneous. Brennan dropped the photograph of Ludmila and Emily crumbled. It was so sudden that the shock of her reaction hits like a tonne of bricks. We've seen Emily have really powerful emotional scenes before but there is usually more narrative build up within the scene and overall story to those moments of climax or catharsis, but that isn't what's happening here. This is raw and unresolved and at a moment where you don't expect it. In the middle of exploring a thread of the mystery, Marya is emotionally devastated like someone had shot her with a grief bullet. Spectacular.

Why is this heat so hot 😩

K-pop: Demon Hunters - early vis dev - 2022 - part 01/?

[nekotanx1]

[nekotanx1]

Please, watch Kpop Demon Hunters

[nekotanx1]

early screening color script selections - my favorite part of working on this movie was helping establish the colors with these thumbnail paintings before production started. Most are painted over early storyboards, but some I didn't have boards or designs and had to go off vibes alone. Its cool to see how some of these ideas still made it into the final film. A lot of artists down the line definitely pushed and plussed the colors, and I love how it turned out.

[nekotanx1]

He is my favourite. Pls watch KPDH it's beautiful

[nekotanx1]

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

[nekotanx1]

Go slay the demons girls!!!!!
