once again inspiration has struck me! && once again it involved the dca and vocaloid. i was rewatching the vid for Love Love Nightmare, and the crawling part reminded me of Moon...and then i decided to do Even More!
Im still on hiatus but @lemonaidan has done it again. I have once again become obsessed with one of his songs. This time it is Canary Curse. So i have once again done a drawing based on it.
Obviously done with the lyric "damned little songbird. Blood soaks all your feathers" in mind.
Gargantua is a giant of classic French literature, and the impression I had when I first read the book was that Rabelais made him a giant because that made him a size where impolite functions of the body, things that weren’t discussed in polite society, were simply unavoidable.
And this is important for the text because. Well because Rabelais wanted to write a filthy comedy and have a great time, but it’s also an element in the text’s satire on polite society. You cannot ignore the fact that Gargantua pisses. Everyone else in 16th century French polite society could pretend that they didn’t piss, or at least could avoid talking about the fact that they had to piss, so Rabelais made Gargantua a character where society couldn’t ignore the fact that he pisses, because when he pisses he drowns people.
And this sort of scatalogical humour is a recurring theme with giants in literature. Brobdingnagian noblewomen in Gulliver’s Travels piss. Gulliver, a giant in Lilliput, poops. The BFG farts. There’s a crude reality of the body that society pretends to not exist, but cannot be ignored when you’re 40 feet tall because frankly the piss has gotta go somewhere.
I just wanted to rant to you about this thing I saw. Ik we aren’t moots, but ik you’d understand my anger.
SOMEONE SAID THIS
IT MADE ME SO FUCKING LIVID!!!
Like, yes they did joke about him “being like a child” and them “being like the parents” but THEY ARE ALSO KIDS/TEENS AND ARE PROJECTING THEIR OWN INSECURITIES ON TO HIM WHEN THEY SAY THAT (plus sometimes the writers do NOT understand impulse so they say shit like that). The real parent of Young Justice IS OBVIOUSLY RED TORNADO BECAUSE HE IS THE ACTUAL FUCKING ADULT!!
Wish people would stop acting like Imp is mentally 8 and stop acting like shipping him with anyone his own age is super illegal and weird WHEN HE IS LITERALLY ON THEIR LEVEL!! LET THEM HOLD HANDS AND KISS AND GO ON DATES LIKE NORMAL TEENAGERS DO!!
Anyways, just hate the infantilization of neurodivergence.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE! Bart is the only member of yj to get constantly infantilized and it’s super frustrating. Neurodivergency is not interchangeable to maturity or age. That’s just not how it works. Even if people think Bart acts “childish/immature/whatever” which is usually a mischaracterization made by the fandom he is still a teenager and shouldn’t be treated as Tim and kons little brother or even weirder child. I think this sort of thing happens a lot to prop up timkon too and it makes me really loathe that shop all together. I’m sure there’s some normal timkonnies out there but the flanderization of Bart is so rampant and UGH
Comic about a young drow woman starting to figure out that she may not be a woman at all; what could be construed as a beginning of Ven'axtha's story. The rest of the comic lies under the readmore!
Finally finished my redesign and ref sheet for this guy !!
I'm leaving the PL design cuz it slaps and also it's funny and I wanna make it canon that he got that ring at some point and had to deal with that for awhile. (he made it work. had fun)
he had an experience once with a red ring and he hated every minute of it. he's always running from it.
Anyways, he gives me cowboy and punk vibes.
miscellaneous info: (sorry if anything sounds repetitive)
--
Had a terrible upbringing, was not the favored child, often told he was a disgrace and compared often to his brother, really messed with his mental health and self perception.
Rebelled a lot in spite of his father. mother did nothing to help him, only one good point in high eyes is that at least she didn't hurt him. He doesn't have a great relationship with his family and has a bit of loathing towards his brother He has since become estranged from his family by choice.
Further rebellion lead to him living a more punk life, going against his father, a cop. He's living how he feels comfortable and free without the expectations from his family. Anything that would get a rise out of his dad? Oh, he's gonna do it. He's grown out of it, but sometimes the habits die hard Hard to give up, hard to move on.
Guy struggled to keep a job for years, finding and taking whatever he could. The last job he had before he was found by Abin Sur's ring was as a teacher for a local school. He was about to be fired and needed a new job anyway. He was happy to take it and escape his earth life for a little while. A further rebellion against his family, he'll claim, but really it was an escape from his miserable life at the time.
As a result of his constant search for a job, he's gained a lot of experience and knowledge with a wide array of things, such as swimming, coaching, cooking, mechanics, engineering, mending, dancing-- He's not a professional at any of these, he's quite rusty with some of them, but he's still very capable if these skills are ever needed.
With the ring, Guy finally found a job that he was good at, successful. It was one he didn't fumble catastrophically. He loves the GL corps and will do whatever he can to keep it, it's a place he feels accepted and liked. even if his personality and attitude may be a little hard to digest and tolerate for some. He's very passionate and cares a lot despite how stubborn and brash he may act.
The GL corps is really all Guy has. He puts a lot of his devotion into it. it's the only consistently positive things in his life. It's the one thing he would never run from. He would honestly defend the corps with his life, taking the oath to heart. His word is his bond and he values it.
Often gets into fights, is usually the one who starts it whether he intended to or not. He does finish them, at least.... well. If possible, he tries to. Albeit.. not in the best of ways. He still has a lot to learn.
Guy overcompensates his fears and worries, his anxieties with an overconfident and boastful, loud and abrasive attitude. His more vulnerable side is one that less than 5 people have ever seen and know of. He'd rather people see him as a dirtbag than as any less than a man. His dad instilled a lot of negativity towards himself from a young age. Feeling inferior. Anything goes wrong? Guy is bottling that up and taking it out on training dummies and letting it out in his room with a drink or two.
