did this as a quick scribble at like 1 AM last night and...immediately lost all motivation to ever clean it up. ( ᐛ ) but I had to draw my son being the fanciest little flower boy who ever threw petals down an aisle. oh my god.

The Master regenerating into Missy and wearing skirts and doing makeup and using her "feminine wiles" (her words not mine lol) to do evil with her silly little Mary Poppins aesthetic vs the Doctor regenerating into 13 and just. Continuing to wear pants and eat dirt. I love them both so much

Danny’s clockwork emblem gets damaged and causes him to glitch and slip through time (think Loki tv show Time Slipping or Into the Spider-Verse glitching). Lucky for him it’s not too random, his sporadic time jumps and flickering in and out of reality is centered on this vaguely familiar superhero he remembered Clockwork mentioning and he doesn’t quite know why.

Quick doodle of my Whispangle fankid, Calico the Wolf (they/them), as a warmup!!

Warden Antoine is so funny for being someone who will make a stirring declaration about how the Wardens have an opportunity to reach for a future in which they are dedicated to protecting and restoring and nurturing the life and landscapes lost to the Blight, that it is their duty and it will give them purpose as they reckon with the end of Archdemons, then immediately provide you with like three hundred pounds of explosives he personally developed from scratch so you can blow something up for him

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

[fire-on-fuel]

the most important distinction between boba fett and jango fett is that jango fett grew up on a farm and then in a traveling mandalorian merc clan and boba fett grew up in a city sized lab and then juvie and then every gutter in the galaxy from here to nar shaddaa

I'm ngl i kinda wish people wouldn't look at a character I create, see that they're mean, and then immediately assume by default they're actually super tragic and a sad woobie. And I'm not even saying this to be like "people need to appreciate 2-dimensional villains!" because I don't agree with those people either.

It's like if a character is a jerk, it either needs to be justified with a sad backstory, or they need to be a saturday morning cartoon villain. it can't just be a part of their personality.

Real fan art is coming one day, but for now I really wanted to see if it was feasible to simplify their gradients into something that would fit a simple style like Bluey’s 😅

The way these two scenes are back to back make me sick, the way Sokka is putting on his face paint alone and preparing himself for a one-man fight against what he thinks are ruthless Fire Nation soldiers while Zuko is having his armor put on by his crew, even having them tie the shoes while Sokka does his on his own. Sokka puts on his facepaint alone with his fingers while Zuko gets his helmet put on by the crew. How Sokka has to tie his own armband with one hand and teeth because nobody else is there to do it for him. He has only himself to rely on in this fight, but is completely willing to ready himself like he saw the men of his tribe once did and fight for his tribe despite being knocked down multiple times.

It was a losing battle and he knew it. These people killed his mother, sent his father away and nearly ruined the South. He wasn’t expecting to win.

Anatomy of a Spell

Okay, I just had a lovely Bards of New York fan that does not play DnD herself ask about the Detect Thoughts that Decima cast on Katari in episode 35. Since there are specific mechanics I was leveraging to twist the narrative knife, let me explain here rq! 

What Decima knows: 

Having been warned by Valor (and then briefly speaking on it with Katari too,) Dec knows Katari is particularly bothered by psychic magic. 

How Detect Thoughts (2024 version) works:

Once the spell is up and running, you have this as an option: “If you probe deeper, the target makes a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, you discern the target’s reasoning, emotions, and something that looms large in its mind (such as a worry, love, or hate). On a successful save, the spell ends. Either way, the target knows that you are probing into its mind,” 

So the spell never actually was about knowing Katari’s thoughts (though that would have been nice both as Decima’s player and a Synntari fan) — it was always just to disrupt their moment. In Decima’s calculus, Katari remaining off-balance between herself and Synnove keeps her more firmly in the camp of accepting Beatrix’s mission. She can’t risk Katari moving back into alignment with the party and potentially being dissuaded by JB, so the plan was to use the DT and tearfully run off, hoping Katari would follow her into the lift. That would have been a much more overtly manipulative scene, and who knows if it would have worked given Katari’s insanely high Insight. 

I actually ADORE how things shook out instead: Garavellir’s counterspell, Synnove following, and the later conversation between those two? INCREDIBLE. 

I love that Decima’s best path to achieving her goals as Lord Inquisitor was to stir up drama in the group. If they weren’t going to trust her, she had to make sure they didn’t trust each other too much either. It’s a fun double-fake: her change in tone outside of the throne room suggests that she is the good cop to Beatrix’s bad cop, but in actuality she knows she’s the bad cop to Garavellir’s good cop (hence her eagerness to take off with Katari and leave the rest of the group alone with him to consider the offer, knowing full well that both the bar and penthouse were well-surveilled.)

What a FUN episode! That chess scene has lived rent-free in my mind since Wednesday, and I’m so happy to have finally met the rest of the Bards!
