homophobia in a largely gay community is WHILD to me ngl.

like, you watch steven universe and you come across this AMAZING work of art within the community that's honestly amazing for how long it's been going on for, and your first thought is "yo, you're making the gay gams too gay, stop that"

Why am I posting this?

Because I know I have a lot of young people following me, and because over the past few years, I've seen a shocking amount of anti-gay rhetoric in MY comment section. Of my Steven Universe fancomic. An extremely lgbtq-friendly show.

So what gives? My best guess is, I have a very wide following, and a lot of these readers are pretty socially insulated in conservative spaces that don't allow them to explore the concepts of the other side of the argument.

I'm not about to judge children on the environment they were raised in... but I'm also here. I'm a part of the environment. And I'd like to offer some perspectives.

If you don't agree with how I present things - great! Make your own post.

I assure you: somebody, somewhere, is on the exact same wavelength as you are.

picked out a few scenes in chapter 3&4 that I wanna draw, this one here was top of the list!

A redraw of one of the posters you see in in the hallways of Chapter 3, Tenna really has grown on me..

it was kinda hard fitting their moves and stuff in a single sheet, but I wanted them to stay together.

It's well known for the Latios in a pairing to be the one responsible for courtship.

Shiny legendary/Mythical pokemon are often held higher above in the hierarchy and will be placed on a pedestal by those of its species.

Dreamer was given more agency to court her own mate rather than have every Latios attempt to court her, witch what lead her to Nightlights reserved and quiet behaviour.

Nightlight was born as a single child, hence coming out somewhat purple. Having an only child is unheard of to the Lati community, and fearing that Nightmare was diseased, he was abandoned somewhat early on in his life. The Latios avoid him out of fear he's diseased, while the Latias avoid him in fear he will pass his off-coloured feathers and "singleton curse" upon their owe offspring.

Shame on them, however as Dreamer and Nightlight had a perfectly healthy pair of Lati twins, Sunrise and her brother.

Charlie's Latias SunShine.

She was the first legendary that Charlie caught before going straight to Zekrom and later bringing his proposal to Kyurem.

Y'all make sure to actually watch the original before watching the remake, it makes the pacing issues of the film painfully noticeable and you can watch them strip away the character development of Lilo, Stitch, AND Gumba.

Lilo's been "toned down" to make her more likable, Stitch has been smoothed out and less aggressive, making his own development leave less impact, and y'all wanna know the main villain of the story? It's fucking Gumba... He ain't comedic relief that joins the family, he's just... The main bad guy...

And yet we have people saying that this was one of the most "faithful" adaptation that would save life action adaptations...

At this point just stop making them...

The original Lilo & Stitch empowered and lionised Nani for her quiet, selfless sacrifices in choosing to look after Lilo, whereas the remake almost seems to shame her for it.

Yeah, fuck choosing to put your own dreams aside to care for your literal last family member. You gotta put yourself first, or you're an idiot if you don't!

It's such a strangely cynical way to treat the original film's arguably best character, and it fundamentally misunderstands her and the story as a whole.

When it's not about aliens and experiments, the original Lilo & Stitch is a bittersweet, hard-hitting story about making sacrifices for the people you love, and Nani as a character fully embodies that theme. Sometimes a simple, easy solution isn't possible, and you have to find your happiness and your ohana in less conventional ways.

But instead, the remake gives Nani a "have your cake and eat it" ending where there is a simple, easy solution, and they have to actively change the story and add a whole new neighbour character just to make it happen.

It not only completely misses the point of the original's message, but it doesn't even make sense in its own narrative when this apparently could have just been the solution from the start (yet was never mentioned as an option at any point before this), making the entire story a pointless waste of time.

There are other Disney remakes that are objectively worse films, but from a writing standpoint this one fumbles its source material the worst in just about every aspect.

Gonna be doing a few redesigns of some refs and making some new ones of the lesser background legends, just random stuff to keep me occupied.

[pleasanttaleexpert]

This also doubles as a fursona redesign kinda, he did need a touch up.

I'm a man that likes his shiny pokemon. If I could have a full team of moths I would, but that ain't balanced.

[pleasanttaleexpert]

Might come back to it later to do a little bit of shading

it gets a little messy tranna get them all in one place

As there were several fellas that were made after the Hight chart had been finished, decided to give the extras their own chart as they wouldn't fit on the old one.

[pleasanttaleexpert]

Made a little something as thanks for a friend.

[pleasanttaleexpert]

Hadn't drawn Dev in forever so he gets a new form, who knows this could be his new primary form.

I realised that I never made a Mew, Mewtwo, or Origin variant of my fursona so I spent some time working on a design for Dev!

Something special! Different from the other two Origin designs I've made in the past!

He's kinda like a mix between Tina and Ori.
