End-of-Splatoon thoughts.
Thinking about how since the very start, Splatoon has had a feature where players can draw and post artwork and spot them as graffiti on walls or billboards. Or how the weapons have always been paint brushes and rollers and ballpoint pens. Since its inception, Splatoon has been dedicated to engaging its players with the act of creation and creative expression, showing them how their art can build communities and (literally) change the world.
Thinking about finding golden human-made music discs buried underground for thousands of years, and a grand finale music festival. About the Voyager Golden Records. About those human handprints etched into concrete in Alterna. Did those human artists know it would end like this? First a fiery death and then, eventually, a worldwide celebration of music to represent our shared past, present, and future. Did they know that their songs, insignificant in the face of extinction, would one day become the solution that will save the next dominant life-form from the same fate?
Thinking about how eerily similar the Octarian domes are to Alterna. About how close Inklings and Octolings were to repeating the same mistakes as humans. But their doomed fates were undone not by some miracle technology or military power or a rocket, but by music.
Thinking about how humans wiped themselves out with war, and our parting gifts were liquid crystals that somehow paired with the DNA of primeval inklings and somehow infused them with our memories and culture and a Song. And 12,000 years in the future, that same Song will end a war.
Thinking about how art and music and punk culture and rock & roll and friendly competition and petty arguments and water guns arenât uniquely human concepts, but the fundamental qualities of intelligent life. An inheritable spirit that can cross evolutionary bounds.
Thinking about the theme of Splatoon, that art and music and fun will not die with the human race. That every piece of art we create is a seed we sow for future generations to reap. That our legacy is ingrained into the crust of the earth. That long after weâre gone, the oceans will remember, and theyâll pick up where we left off.
Thinking about how Splatoon says that the essence of humanity ââ the thing that will outlive us ââ isn't war or prejudice or destruction or greed, it's a song.
#personal#splatoon#âindomitable human spiritâ but what if it wasn't just âhumanâ#what if every creature had the capability to embody this spirit. they just need the chance#anyways splatoon's core theme is about how art and music is the most important thing on earth#wasn't expecting to get kinda emotional but in trying times it's nice that splatoon says that the art we make is a message to future#generations that we were once here and to *Do Better* than us. Be kind and keep making art#dead isn't gone.

#illustration#digital art#original art#artists on tumblr#character art#marcia#marciaillust#marcia continuing her mission to shit colour maximalist style#i am really enjoying making this garret centric series of paintings#and its been fun seeing the reaction of people to the previous one! many kind words and some people even included their interpretation#of what it means about the characters#i remember one was very sweet... very much the opposite of what I meant to say with the picture but you know what#a knee jerk reaction to interpret things with love at the helm - what a glass-half-full kinda worldview. what a wonderful trait#as an author is talking about the meaning allowed or is it giving the game away#i think i should stay dead. even if i create these with a very specific message at the core#all i can do is create the artefact and try to align and point its elements in a specific direction but what the audience does with it#is outside of my control. to try and control the perception of an artwork speaks to its weakness in its ability to communicate#not to mention the insecurity of the author#i think art is the relationship created between the artefact and the audience member. whatever shape it takes#and to try and forcefully mould it is sacrilege frankly#even if (arthur clenching fist dot jpg) even if sometimes some people are misguided.#orion lavont#garret#tcm#oc#the clockmaster#GOLDEN CALF!!!!! BEHOLD AND OBSSES!! OBSERVE AND POSSES!!!!!! HOLY AND WITHOUT A SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You Brand
Who are you? What do you represent? On a consensus, what impression do people have of you? It is an overlooked fact that we live in a digital world and not only has the job market evolved but has also become more competitive and companies now can scour information at a whim. Scouting for hopefuls with a broad range of skillsets to boast is easily accessible and available from networkingâŠ

Shoutout to the radish guy in Spirited Away for deciding to go all the way up to the top floor just to make sure Chihiro was safe when presumably he had other shit to do and could just have easily decided this little girl's safety was Not His Problem.

Bonus 14: Just the usual Guy Stuff!
[First] Prev <â-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan sizhui#lan wangij#lan qiren#wei wuxian#ouyang zizhen#Sect leader Ouyang#lan jingyi#jin ling#Remember when I said I was having a rough time scripting out episode 8?#Yeah it wasn't just because of the battle scenes. It was also because there was so many other things going on in the background.#Great things that I was like âoh but that's got great comic potential - oh but *that* would be a fun thing to focus on - oh but THAT -â#And sometimes when I get overwhelmed I simply say No...No to drawing out 5 additional comics for the second siege.#I do still deeply adore the Jin Ling and Jiang Cheng moments. I loved all the juniors kicking ass in front of their mentors and parents!#It bears repeating that a core message in MDZS is about how the next generation has the capacity to grow past their predecessors.#That they are going to chose what to believe and will come to their own decisions. That they will be better for it.#And! That it is not just the new generation! Lan Qiren picks up his sword and fights as well!#This is a story about hope lying in the future if you choose to nurture it now. Not all seeds will grow but some *will*.#For now...we can just ask ourselves the question of what we want that future to be. And start somewhere.#Maybe it is learning how to draw comics. Maybe it is learning how to be kinder.#Maybe it's about getting good gains and never putting your shirt back on. Godspeed Lan Jingyi.#...I may make a poll to make the decision on whether he stays like this or not (or secret third option?)

deranged picnic
#obsessed with how this game manages to maintain a consistent utterly unhinged vibe for its entire runtime.#this scene is immediately followed by him receiving a letter from his girlfriend saying she's breaking up with him.#he gets the letter from an eldritch abomination in the form of his mentor's face on the body of dead dog as it turns into magic dust.#also his gf broke up with him because he wasn't returning any of her messages while he was being tortured in a dungeon for four years.#which is actually how he finds out it's been four years. he's been under the impression that it's been like. 2 weeks lol#the guy on the left is perfectly alive and monologuing the whole time.#and he happens to be the same guy that made clones of himself and went on a crusade to eat chunks of the protagonist's hair.#sighh..... crisis core my beloved........#(derogatory)#my art <3#ffvii#crisis core#oh god i forgot his scar. nobody look. don't look. you don't see shit.

WAIT I WANNA BRING UP ANOTHER THING ABOUT HOW BULLYING IS ADDRESSED IN NERDY PRUDES MUST DIE. one thing I really liked about how Max is shown as a bully is his talk with Pete at the Pasqualli's parking lot. When Pete tries to stand up to Max, Max pushes him down and emphasizes that Pete isn't a loser because of his own qualities - rather, Pete is a loser because Max simply said so.
Of course we can attribute this to Max's god complex but I think that this point in particular is less than often really brought up in teen-centered media featuring bullying: that bullying exists not because of nerdy behavior or whatever the fuck, but because bullies will it into being. And to have a BULLY of all people say that out loud - to have the main villain point out the root of their behavior without showing any kind of shame whatsoever - showcases just how much of a menace Max is.
#like max is really fuckin self aware throughout the show#he knows he's the biggest prick alive and he revels in his jackassery#to the point of pointing out the core problem of bullying itself: people are bullied because people are bullies. simple as that#like its a good message to hammer down in the bullying problem of the show while also showing how far gone Max is with his delusion of power#so um yea#oki at this point it's kinda obvious that my favorite character in the show is max jagerman like writing wise#dude's portrayed as an irredeemable literal monster and the show doesnt shy away from the fact that the dude isnt getting any redemption arc#and yet there are nuances to him being overzealous with his power both in life and in the afterlife#SO YEA STARKID DID A GREAT JOB IN WRITING MAX LIKE DAMN#starkid#nerdy prudes must die#npmd#npmd spoilers

A message and a warning from a contained city.
#sleepless domain#sd#webcomic#anemone#tessa#tessa quinn#woman in white#nuclear waste warning messages#mine#me speaks#*gestures to board* I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS ABOUT NUCLEAR ENERGY AND SLEEPLESS DOMAIN#MOST OF THEM ARE STUPID#BUT LIKE. im enjoying myself#foR EXAMPLE.#Water is extremely important for a nuclear reactor because it cools it down and prevents fusion/meltdown. Undine is Water.#the nuclear reactor is called a core in english but its also called a heart. Kokoro.#Meanwhile Tessa had a meltdown after pushing away her watery friend and became goop. *points at goop* corium.#anemone is basically made up of radiation.#THERE IS A FREAKING DOME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY. AND IM JUST THINKING OF THE DOMES THEY BUILD AROUND NUCLEAR REACTOR. AND THEN THE CITY#THE CITY IS ALSO UNDER A DOME. THEYRE BEING CONTAINED.

Okay but did Crisis Coreâs fan clubs have remotely true factoids about any of the firsts?
Did Zack even know if they were true or not?
Does Seph really use a whole bottle of shampoo? Did Gen really find that copy of Loveless in his parentâs study? Does Ang really garden in his free time and have a cherished camera from his mother?
Did Zack ever find any of it out before it was too late?
Did he ever know his peers better than the hundreds of thousands of adoring fans who didnât know any of them at all?
#if Square wanted me to take any of the factoids from the fan clubs at face value#they shoulda cited their sources or had a character who actually fucking knew the firsts comment on it#Zackâs the only one Iâm not putting immense scrutiny on#bc all his fan club factoids and messages are sourced from people who knew him#anywho yeah#nyx rambles#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy 7#final fantasy vii#ff7 crisis core reunion#crisis core reunion#crisis core#ff7 crisis core#Zack fair
