#S4 nonsense

S4E8: KuroTangled - "And for that one moment, everything was perfect..."

All those days watching from the windows All those years outside looking in...

All that time never even knowing Just how blind I've been...

Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight...

Now I'm here, suddenly I see...

Standing here, it's all so clear I'm where I'm meant to be...

And at last I see the light...

And it's like the fog has lifted And at last I see the light...

And it's like the sky is new And it's warm and real and bright...

And the world has somehow shifted...

All at once everything looks different...

Now that I see you...

All at once, everything is different Now that I see you

Now that I see you...

honestly? i want a s4 fic where five brings them all to the five diner, and they live out their lives there

[wwonkkaa]

season four is literally just a fanfic like i’m 95 percent sure jennifer could genuinely be considered a mary sue

Abigail sucks harder than Reginald.

I will never watch S4 again, so you might have to correct my memory here, but can we agree that Abigail is a total cunt? 1000% worse than Reginald.

She literally created marigold in the Reggiverse. Reggie had removed it from the Umbrellas, (right? Hence no powers?) and she *chose* to reintroduce it because apparently Reginald needed a lesson on hubris that just happened to take out several billion people in the process.

Abigail. Honey. Just kill yourself if you're that bothered. Don't like it? Just take yourself out of it. What the fuck is this? Why make a weird and convoluted plan that involved brewing up a batch of marigold, giving it to the umbrellas and just assuming they'd drink it when you could have just taken yourself out of the situation? (Not to mention that you could have executed your little world-annihilation plan by finding Jennifer and dumping the jar on her head. Why the umbrellas gotta be your middle man?)

Again, unless I'm misremembering something, this just seems like horrible writing. If there was no marigold in this world, why was it supposedly doomed?

And, I'm sorry, but when Reginald reset the universe using a machine left there by its creator, why the holy fuck did all the other timelines still exist to be navigated by that dumbass subway? Surely that should wipe them out and create a blank slate. It's a *reset* dammit.

Hiii I needed to hop back on to say s4 was dogshit

I'm nosey so I did my own investigation

Okay so, sparked by intrigue and curiosity, I decided to take a real close look at false god's and moood's hair and I have to say...

Looking closely at the hair, for me to think that the mesh is stolen, it would have to match a set of criteria:

I'm expecting the hair mesh to line up closely, if not, match 100%

I'm expecting the UV Layout has to be very similar

I'm expecting to see solidified planes, not individual strands of hair

In this example, I couldn't get my hands on all the hair meshes that Moood is claiming False stole so I'm only using Apollo & N73 (the one Moood used to compare in a gif originally.

Going off my check list in order:

The hair does not line up at all. I can see where the hair tapers off from curves, where Moood's alpha hair clips through or where strands of hair are just straight up missing where they would be on a copy of the hair's mesh. I've included a few photo examples where I see this.

N73 vs Boyzzz: (Blonde hair is False's & Black hair is Moood's) (Red Line is Moood's & Blue Line is False's)

Apollo vs Conquer:

2. Again, if a hair is a copy of another, you can reasonably expect the hair to have a near similar UV Map, be it layout or shape of the uvs. When looking and comparing them both, you can see that they are no where near similar.

Apollo vs Conquer:

N73 vs Boyzzz:

3. Last but not least, solidified planes. As I said before, I have glanced over a few tutorials on how to make an alpha hair clay and as stated, you do not have to use Blender to do this. It consists of modifying the texture of an alpha hair to make it clay, not going into blender to make individual strands.

In this example, I'm using the solidify modifier to hypothetically turn Moood's hair into a clay hair, using Maxis textures with a similar UV Layout to showcase what it would look like if someone were attempting to pass off an exact copy of Moood's hair as Maxis Match.

Clearly, this is just quick and dirty because I'm not about to go through the process of sculpting each strand to look similar to that of False's but it's clear that none of the hairs are exact copies of each other.

My verdict is:

While False did build the mesh from the ground up (i.e. from scratch) they did have Moood's hair present in Blender and they WERE using it as a GUIDE (as in; Moood's hair on the bottom and their new mesh on top or side by side) while they were making their hair hence extremely similar strand placement. False did not steal and attempt to pass off an exact copy of Moood's hairs as their own.

A small aside: If they referenced the hair be it from Pinterest, google, a web comic, etc, the style is fair game. People copy off of others all the time just as Moood copied the hairs from another artist. If it was their OWN design that they came up with from their heads, no references, THEN it would be a diff story. But they didn't, so it's not.

You can even look at the Blend file I made to compare the two hairs if you wanna make your own judgement, download here.

Either way, it's no reason to call someone a necrophiliac lol

still pissed argyle supposedly isn't coming back for s5 when he was the only one other than dustin and suzie getting shit done and solving problems last season. literally the only reason cali gang made it. argyle has many rights and not being confirmed for s5 is infringing on them. put him back where he belongs with his queerplatonic buddy jonathan or so help me

What are your top The Boys ships? Are there any you haven’t drawn but that you still enjoy? I enjoy a good Frenchie/MM fic, but your art really got me on the Hughie/A-Train ship lol so it made me curious what other ships you have.

Ooooh, thank you for a wonderful ask! And it's awesome to know I'm converting folks to Hughtrain... WE GOT ANOVVA ONE BOYS

I had never considered Frenchie/MM but y'know what?? Yeah, I see it!

Honestly, my top ship isn't even Hughtrain - it would be MM/Train if I could find any lmao. Their interactions in S4 made my brain light up in a very 'bratty A-Train gets flipped by grudging but kind daddy MM' sort of way?? and now I cannot unsee it. As far as multishipping my favourite blorbos, I also really like Deeptrain (I cannot be convinced that they didn't explore each other's bodies at least once) and Butcher/MM (their whole 'shitty bastard dad and long-suffering malewife' thing really speaks to me!)

But I also LOVE Butchlander - I'm a batjokes shipper to my core, and you can't go wrong with two mortal enemies who are mutually obsessed with each other and kinda fucked up about it. Their toxic hatesex vibe is immaculate.

Also, big shoutout to Sagelander and Starcracker for altering my brain chemistry this season... I love Sage letting Homelander think he's in control while manipulating the fuck outta that pathetic evil (affectionate) bastard, and I love all of Starlight and Firecracker's past beef! I think Annie could fix her if she fingerbanged her up against a wall, personally

And, of course, I adore Frenchie/Kimiko with all of my heart. I loved them as platonic 'family'. I loved them as a couple. I just love them, and I want them to be happy!

There we have it: a rundown of every ship that makes my brain go brrrrr in The Boys!
