CLEO!!!! Bless you, Doody and Maruu, for letting them be a major character in this chapter. GO READ DDVAU BY @kitsuneisi and @xmaruu11. It's so good!

[evanvison]

I know this trend is over, but I finally got my mother to do it, and I loved some of them so much I had to post them. I can't believe both my sister #2 and my mother guessed Chad for Martyn. The Pastor ones are funny to my family due to an inside joke.

I did this fun doodle of my mom while working in the toddler room at church today. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers! I hate drawing with crayons, but this wasn't too bad.

[evanvison]

For Mother's Day! Here is a quick sketch of Coco and her mother. I will cry so hard the day these two get to see each other again.

[evanvison]

I'm currently watching all the April Fools 'Simple Life' special POVs and decided to sketch this lovely team-up. This was my first time drawing Tango so I'm figuring out how I want to sketch him.

Mentors!

I noticed that I love the "flawed mentor with a student that they treat like their child" trope a lot and wanted to see how many of my fav shows and books (+ a musical) had this trope. In no particular order, here they are!

7. Ursula Callistis "Little Witch Academia"

she is such an amazing character! More people should watch this show. Her relationship with Akko is so fascinating especially after the twist about why she is so determined to help Akko specifically is revealed. I need to rewatch this show again.

6. Athena "Epic The Musical" (1st 2 pics by Luiza Xavier Mazzei)

Athena is one of my fav Epic characters and I love her arc so much. Seeing her start as the Mentor to Odysseus and then switch to Telemachus' mentor is so cool. Also, Teagan Earley (her singer) is awesome! (3rd pic is by @wolfythewitch and 4th is by Luiza Xavier Mazzei again)

5. Toshinori Yagi (All Might) "My Hero Academia"

All Might is an interesting character in his own right. I actually wrote an essay about his heroism and how it has changed for a class. His perfect symbol idea that he built and then decided to move on from and grow from his inability to maintain it. Oh, how I love it.

4. Frieren "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End"

Frieren is an amazing main character and it's rare to see the mentor be the focus of a show. Her growth over the course of the story is lovely in its pacing and I love how when she meets Fern her sense of time does start to slow down as she helps to teach and raise her.

3. Sun Wukong "Lego Monkie Kid"

Wukong has a slew of flaws that have caused issues for him and his loved ones for as long as he has been alive but seeing him grow and change both for himself and for his new loved ones is so beautiful to watch. He sees how his past actions have caused issues for his successor, MK, and actively tries to make sure MK will not have to suffer for his actions.

2. Edalyn Clawthorne (Eda) "The Owl House"

Eda is flawed in ways that are mostly due to her being an outlaw and taking some time to figure out how she should be training Luz. Once those motherly instincts kicked in she started doing a fantastic job. She started taking better care of herself as well. She is a wonderful caretaker of Luz and King. I love you, Mama Eda!

Qifrey "Witch Hat Atelier"

Qifrey is a broken man who is able to hide his pain pretty well from the people in his life (well enough anyway). He loves his students so much but he can get carried away by his grudge against the brimhats. Luckily he has a whole family's worth of people to remind him to relax and take in the calm while he can. Hopefully, he's able to keep Coco from going down a similar path.

That's it! That's all of them! I hope you all liked seeing these lovely mentors and their respective pupils. This all started because a while ago I was talking to a friend about Wukong and I realized that he and All Might fit into the flawed mentor role and from there it spiraled. Now you all got to read this! I also hope this lets other people who love this trope find new characters to obsess over from this list.

I redrew this panel from @kyri45's ShadowpeachBioParents AU comic. This is from Part 9 chapter 4. Go read it! Can't wait to see everyone else's takeover redraws and fanart!

Laurence season 7 thoughts!

Post #2 of my thoughts and ideas for some potential Mystreet season 7 character moments. This one will focus on Laurence and his potential dynamics with the rest of the cast.

I already did a post for Dante so go read that one as well if you want some more Season 7 ideas. These are in order of character development and plot.

5. Aaron. Now that Aaron has returned home he is going to need some help in getting his memories back. I believe that everyone will get a chance to help with that and it will end with him and Aph reuniting. So I do think that Laurence could help Aaron with his memories. They had some fun moments in season 3 that could be brought back up but otherwise, I feel this interaction may be a bit more brief.

4. Kim/Lucinda (more focus on Kim). Laurence is the reason that Kim has joined the crew at all and I feel having them talk a bit this season would be nice. I don't think it would go the shipping route necessarily. Jess doesn't seem to be building that up at all. But even just a little interaction between the two would be nice. I feel it could go similarly with Lucinda, just a small conversation or something. I feel like everyone should get at least one brief conversation with everyone else in the cast as this season will be the last one. Maybe he could help them try and figure out a cure for the unique problems the Relic survivors are dealing with.

3. Dante. Since Dante and Laurence are the only two who will be out of the loop, seeing them work together to figure out what happened with everyone would be a good moment for them both. Maybe they could go around and get stories from everyone and piece it together like a puzzle. Maybe only some details would be missing due to the group probably avoiding certain topics. This would finally bring them into the group who knows and would make them feel less left out. This would also give them the chance to talk to the cast about how they are feeling post-Satrlight.

2. Zane/Kawaii~Chan. Starting with Zane, Laurence and Zane have had this mutual hatred for each other for a while now (I don't know how much they would have grown during Aphmau's Year). Assuming Laurence still mostly sees Zane as somewhat mean (even if he doesn't really), we could see a moment where Laurence acknowledges how much Zane has grown as a person and how mature he has become. These two could become really good friends through this. We could also see Laurence react to Zane and KC dating. He could see how they have helped each other grow and how good for each other they are. Then for KC, I am going to show my shipping colors from here on out, if Jess decides to make Garrence a thing this season or even heavily imply it to become canon, then we could see KC (she would totally hang out with Zane enough to be over all the time) pick up on the feelings Laurence has that (if the jokes are true) Garroth doesn't really notice, then we could see KC help them come together. It would be a good moment to show off KC's shipping while also demonstrating her growth with it.

1. Garroth (Starting with shipping goggles off). these two are best friends and when Garroth gets back he will be at least a little different. He has been through a lot and has had to hide his werewolf form, it could be interesting to see Laurence be the one to help Garroth open up and talk about what he's feeling. Because he needs to do that more. (shipping goggles back on) These kinds of moments could bring them closer together and get them to open up enough to realize their love and admit that. Even if they don't date immediately or something, just to get their feelings out in the air would be nice.

These are some of the dynamics that I thought could happen in the upcoming season and wanted to share them. If you have any you would like to share, comment them down below. I will probably make more of these posts so be on the lookout for them.

Laurence, I hope you get the time in the spotlight you have been missing! Have a good day/night everyone!

Mystreet season 7 ideas

I was recently thinking about the upcoming season of Mystreet and decided to come up with ideas or hopes for some of the characters and their stories.

I may do a few of these, but for this post, I wanted to discuss one character whose development I originally didn't think much of. After thinking about it for a bit I realized that this character had far more potential in the upcoming season than I had originally thought.

That character is Dante!

When it comes to Mystreet, Dante doesn't have a whole lot going on. He is a good friend in the group and is currently roommates with Travis. Other personality aspects can be narrowed down to flirtatious and silly. His biggest moments were mostly in season 2 and some fun moments in season 3.

I sat down recently and thought long and hard about what kind of potential dynamics and character moments everyone in the cast would have during season 7 and Dante surprised me with all the different dynamics that could not only give his character far more development, but a few others that I had trouble with as well.

I will break these dynamics down into groups. Mostly in order of how important these moments would be for his character and the plot.

4. Starting with the obvious, Laurence! Laurence and Dante are the only two characters in the main group that have been entirely left out of the overarching plot of seasons 4-6. We don't know for sure how much information they have regarding what the Starlight gang has gone through. What information was made public by the news? Let's assume they know at most, that the Ultima exists, went crazy, and was supposedly "killed". We have to also assume that neither of them knows that the Lodge crew was at Starlight, or they figured it out from how long they were gone (less likely)? They know Travis and Katelyn were there but that may be it.

When the rest of the gang all come home together, without Travis and Aphmau, I have to imagine that unless the gang explains what happened immediately, a good chunk of the season could be Laurence and Dante trying to figure out what happened. Obviously, they can't hide much this time. Zane can only say names as numbers, Aaron is damaged and has no memories, Lucinda has no magic, Garroth is a werewolf (there is no way he will keep that hidden for long), and finally... Aph and Travis are still not back! Good luck trying to keep Laurence and Dante from asking questions when they can figure all that out pretty easily.

I can imagine some scenes in the first few episodes where the two are working together to go around detective style, to try and gather up all the clues so they can piece some stories together, even if everyone tries to leave some parts out. Either way, finally bringing these two into the "in-the-know group" should be a good character moment for at least a few people.

3. Kawaii~Chan & Zane. This one is the least likely (probably) but I liked the idea so I am talking about it. One thing that Dante is known for in Mystreet is that he is a flirt and has trouble staying with the girls he dates. In some of the videos outside of the "main canon content" we see skits where Dante is in love with KC and actively tries to steal her away from Zane. I don't know how canon these silly skit ideas are and they may have no relevance to the season at all but Jess wrote them and they connect to Dante in key character ways, so I'm using it! Assuming Dante does have a lingering crush on KC since dating her in the past, I could him talking to her more this season only to realize that Zane is dating her now. This could lead to him either becoming jealous (like the skits) or using this moment to realize that Zane has grown and become a man worthy of dating KC. This could give Dante a growth moment where he could then realize how happy KC is and step back to maybe think about becoming the kind of guy that could keep a girlfriend too.

I could see a cute conversation between him and KC where she gives him a pep talk about growing with someone when you truly love them (it could be so cute).

2. Aaron. Something that we as a fandom don't talk enough about is Dante and Aaron and their surprising friendship. These two are actually far closer than we tend to give credit for. Dante literally was the one who helped Aaron get the ticket situation for Starlight and the proposal set up. Imagine that everyone comes back except Travis (& Aph but for this let's focus on Travis) and Dante is already missing him like crazy then he sees all his friends hurt, and then he sees one of his friends who looks like he really shouldn't be alive AND he says he doesn't REMEMBER YOU! I would lose it. I want to see Dante with little else to do, so he decides to try and help bring back or at least assist with getting Aaron's memories back. It would be a massive character moment and would slowly help him mold into the Dante we know from Diaries.

Diaries Dante is known for being loyal as all get out. He is a protector of the village, he waited 15 years for his friends to return home, even when everyone else had left. He went through a lot and matured because of it.

Mystreet Dante is also loyal, we don't see it that much, but he is (which is why I don't like the idea of him trying to steal KC from Zane). He loves his friends so much. He is sort of going through a similar moment to Diaries Dante by having the Aph group leave without knowing what is going on or why they are gone and having to wait patiently for their return. Then they all come back (mostly) and they are damaged and broken returning to a very empty town. A place Dante has been waiting in for a while. This season could bring Dante and his arch full circle and show that his Diaries counterpart isn't all that different after all.

1. The final one. Katelyn... Now I know this one seems odd as number one, but Travis is still in the hospital for now so until he returns home with Aph, I can't count him but this Katelyn one is also a Travis-related one so... Anyways, I assume at some point Katelyn will have to explain what happened with Travis (whether it's fully truthful or not is a debate). A moment that I feel could be a game changer is if Katelyn asks Dante what Travis was like before high school. We don't talk enough about how Dante and Travis have been friends since before high school. He may know some things about Travis and his family before we meet him in the story that could be insightful. Imagine with me if you will, an entire back-and-forth conversation between Katelyn and Dante where they discuss Travis, his past, and what went down with him on Starlight. That could tell us a lot about Travis that we might not have known before. It also would be cute if Dante told Katelyn how much Travis has changed because he loves her.

I just wanted to share these because if I don't I'll lose it. I hope Dante gets the character moments he deserves in the new season. until then I want any other Dante season 7 stuff you can think of to be commented! I wanna hear them! Also enjoy this very quick sketch of Dante I did.

Anyway, have a good day/night everyone! More season 7 character ideas to come so look out for them!

[evanvison]

I found the sketch I did of one of my oldest stories from when I was little. These are a few of the characters and their powers. I really liked the characters but I do not like the story so I want to either come up with a new story for them or find a way to put them in another one of my stories.

The idea is that they were a family of 7 kids and 6 of the older kids ended up with powers. Also, I love fairies so little me had their hero forms include fairy wings just because I liked them.

[evanvison]

Fanart of Nicole from the Bistro Huddy shorts! That series is so good. I was going to draw the whole cast and I may some day but that is too much right now and I have other pieces I have to finish for people. But yeah, go watch Bistro Huddy!

[evanvison]

I am putting together a homemade DnD-ish campaign (it's not following all the rules and roles of traditional DnD) for my 3 youngest sisters. Here are the characters they created. I am heavily basing this campaign off of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door because it's one of my favorite games. I am rewatching Mithzan's playthrough of the game to make sure I get all the details I need. I can't wait to have my sisters play through this it will be so much fun!

p.s. You should go watch Mithzan if you don't already. He is funny and plays lots of fun games with his friends. Go watch his Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door playthrough because it's amazing and he loves this game so much so his perspective on the game is very fun.

[evanvison]

Today I finally received my Witch Hat Atelier coloring book! It's so good, I love it! I only colored in Coco but I am loving getting back into coloring. It's been a bit.

[evanvison]

Guess who just caught up on DDVAU! I have now acquired a new fandom comic to join the fandom of. Finally! Written and drawn by Doody and Maruu the comic can be found posted by @kitsuneisi Go read it!

And if you're not in the Hermitcraft or Life series fandoms you can still enjoy it! Also you should go watch both of those just because their good.

First Impressions

I got into the show Lego Monkey Kid this past year. But I had been aware of the show since it first came out. I had always had it on my list as something to potentially watch but it took me until season 5 came out before I finally sat down to watch it. So I decided to talk about the ideas and theories I had formed before I watched the show because they were really funny.

To start: I saw a poster for the show (I don't remember which one) pretty early and after looking at it I immediately thought that MK and Mei reminded me of Kai and Nya from Lego Ninjago. So I had assumed that they were reusing their character concepts but in a new show. This was the only impression the poster I saw gave me. None of the other characters stood out to me and I never thought much else about it.

A year or two after the release of Season 3 and its end of Season movie, I saw clips from the show popping up in my YouTube recommended. I finally cracked a decided to look at them with ZERO context. I saw the Season 1 fight between Macaque and Wukong, I saw the release of the Sumadhi fire, and I saw Mei training with Red Son and the fire, as well as some scenes of the crew on the flying ship in Season 3 Ep 1.

The first scene I remember was in the Season 1 monkey fight when Macaque released the shadow clones for the first time. A good first scene to witness! I watched the whole fight but only remembered bits and pieces. Through that scene, I was able to pretty accurately guess both Macaque and Wukong's personalities, dynamics, and how they would affect each other as characters (the only accurate guess I made).

Then I saw some flying ship scenes. I mostly remember them just talking and not much stood out in my memory.

Then I got to the release of the Samadhi fire. I made the assumption that the reveal here was that Mei was a Samadhi dragon. Like a dragon that specifically produces Samadhi fire. Mostly because I saw the dragon rising from her fire and assumed dragon + fire = that's the dragon's fire. So you can imagine the shock I had when I started watching the show and saw how quickly they made it clear Mei was a dragon. Then how sad I was that I was spoiled on the actual Samadhi fire. But I did learn from those scenes that Mei was very different from Nya and wasn't related to MK. So that misconception didn't stick till the end. (Sorry the picture is small for some reason.)

Now for the part that I find hilarious and I have no idea how my brain came up with this idea. I somehow came to the conclusion that Tang and Red Son were the same person..... I guess I saw that they both had glasses (very different glasses) and jumped to the idea that Tang was his normal form and that he was some sort of professor who had some curse that caused him to transform into Red Son and this gave him fire powers. I assumed they were like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or something and that's why Red Son was so angry. I don't think I saw any scene where they were in the same shot so I had nothing to steer me away from this.

I just thought he had some alternate fire demon side or something. Then I watched Overly Sarcastic Production's summary of Journey To The West and saw Red Son and then I guess I just forgot about this theory until after I watched the show and realized that I was so very wrong!

I do kind of want to write a fic where this is what happened just because I find it funny. Or if someone else wants to include it in a fic I would love to read it!

But that's it! That's my early misconceptions and guesses about the show that I made. I didn't really have any thoughts on Sandy or Pigsy though I don't think I saw that many clips of them so I didn't really get the chance to think about them as much. Hope you all enjoyed it! If anyone else had some funny guesses about a show that wound up being wrong or funny please tell me!

[evanvison]

I love looking back at a character you made and seeing just how much they've changed over the years. From 2014 to 2024 oh how my baby girl grew! She is a decade old now, that's insane! Can't wait to see how she will continue to change.
