Ah, just the Warrior Nun and her Sisters

-

So much to unpack in this series. I think I found my fav style of writing and it's definitely Simon's (Director) & his writers'.

Apart from contrasts, the show managed to discuss sensitive topics & I'm in love with it.

The show also emphasizes the concept of duality. You'd go from "Watch your language" to "Fuck that shit up" LOL Plus the show's humor is so dry I can't believe it's THAT charming lmfao.

Oh well yeah, of course, there's a healthy relationship in this show as well (#Avatrice) I was worried but their connection was surprisingly slow & steady. WenClair fans are waiting while Ava and Beatrice exist, and are canon & wholesome - give them a chance!

So you want to make an OC?: A Masterpost of Ways to Create, Develop, and Make Good OCs!

i made this masterpost in hopes that it helps you in making your own OCs ah;; it can also apply to developing RP characters i suppose! if you’d like to add more resources then go for it sugar pea (´ヮ`)!

EDIT (10/16/18): edited my disclaimer (below) before diving into the huge chunk of information here! also included new resources and links to writing disabled and nonbinary characters. happy researching! <3

1. i made this post when i was like 14? 15? so as such: the information researched here is very, very old. a lot of it, imo, is no longer relevant! especially with language use (ESPECIALLY if you’re reblogging the old version of the post that had links to an article about gender/sexuality. i’ve removed that. i’ve removed also the mary sue/gary stue chunk because my values have changed since) the point is, the resources here will not always fit in with what we need as time goes on.

2. these resources are not law!! i made this post because i was and still am very passionate about ocs. this resource was intended to be a sounding board for when u have ideas you want to further delve into and you’re not entirely sure where to begin. it’s not the only resource out there, and sometimes, the best sounding board will be you!!! follow ur heart. ocs are fun. this post was never, ever meant to tell you how to write your own characters but help broaden ur knowledge if u found urself limited in an area (this was first made with a white, abled, cishet audience in mind!)

3. i’ve gotten some great notes and commentary on this post and things i want to explore more since making this post roughly 5 years ago. things are very, very different. i have better resources for a LOT of these, and have more i want to tack on! but i simply can’t find the time for it, so until I do: i’ve removed a lot of links here that i found harmful and irrelevant to today, but i haven’t combed through all of them and can’t lead you to what i think is best. research yourselves! you’ll learn lots.

4. and in closing, thanks for reading! this a/n got off on a tangent so that’s that, LMAO. go forth and develop your ocs!!! and tell me about them!!! or tell me if you have fresh sources or a better perspective or just wanna call me out. this post is 100% open to criticism because it’s imperative to keep growing and learn as much as possible and be as whole and mindful as possible. this world is full of diverse, incredible creators who have contributed so much to telling their stories. let their knowledge guide you, not a silly post made 5-6 years ago. <3

[HENSHIN] Venus Crystal Power Make Up.

Series: Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon Kana: ヴィーナス・クリスタル・パワー・メクアップ Romaji: Viinasu Kurisutaru Pawaa Meiku Appu

User: Minako Aino Item required: Crystal Change Rod Used to become: Super Sailor Venus First appearance: Episode 154 Last appearance: Episode 196

TRIVIA

Both the basic art and animation for Venus Power Make Up, originally drawn by Kiyoshi Matsumoto, were reused for Minako’s other transformations. However, the character designer for SuperS, Ikuko Ito, updated the art in the Venus Crystal Power Make Up sequence to resemble her own style. The original art was significantly altered in comparison to the other new “Crystal Power” transformations, particularly Minako’s face, hair, and body. A new addition was Venus running her hands through her hair before she struck her final pose.

The heart wreath that appeared in the background at the end of the transformation is a reference to Roman goddess of love Venus. Sailor Venus also possessed the Love Whip, a chain containing rose-shaped ornaments, in the manga.

While the term “Super Sailor Senshi” was heard in the anime, Sailor Venus was not addressed as “Super Sailor Venus” (スーパーセーラー ヴィーナス). The name was found on some of the merchandise, though.

In the manga, Minako used the Venus Crystal to achieve this transformation. The Crystal Change Rods were exclusive to the first anime.

Mai Thị - Nhân Thần Truyện (梅氏-人神傳) is a film about Princess Mai Thị Ngọc Tiến, the wife of a Trịnh lord, who reigned over the nation with the aid of the puppet emperor.

The concept arts are amazing and extremely accurate (except for the architecture, because reconstructing architecture is too much money at the moment). If the final product looks good, it’ll be a step forward for Vietnamese historical films.
