Something's Wrong: Raph's POV...

Out of the three brothers, Raph's the one to notice something was up first. And, unfortunately, it was only because he ended up in a situation Leo wasn't used to and briefly caught glimpses of those walls being down. He only saw this "sad look" a handful of times for the first few days of his grounding before Leo was more accustomed to having a running partner again. (Raph was forbidden from flying for two weeks, as per "doctor's" orders.)

He didn't know what was wrong, exactly, and Leo definitely talked circles around him if he ever got the opportunity to ask, but still. It put Raph on high alert.

Mikey’s POV

Casey’s POV

OH SIDE NOTE: I actually totally forgot this detail in the Something Like Flying comic here, but uh, being held over the edge of the building by Draxum actually tore Leo's webbing a bit. Nothing bad, but still a significant detail, and I wanted to point out that error ;w; my bad bro, I got it right here at least lmfao.

Hi so in case anyone was dying to know, this is what i think some of the cast of the terror would look like as animals :3 notes under cut

From left to right:

Crozier- Irish Terrier

Silna- Polar Bear

Goodsir- ryeland sheep (known for tasty mutton ;3)

Hickey- red fox

Franklin- old english game rooster

Fitzjames- red deer

I had fun coming up with them :) and I kinda wanna doodle some screencaps but with like a lil short sheep goodsir and his bestie the giant polar bear lady silence whom he thinks would love England. Or like hickey on his bullshit but with more flair bc he would have a fox body and tail to really fuck up that line of action

Anyways heres some closeups and sketches

Wei WuXian walked toward the rendezvous point that he and Lan WangJi were supposed to meet at. Nobody walked among the sparse lights that flickered in the night. Without having to look around, the white-robed figure stood at the end of the street, standing motionless with his head hung low. Before Wei WuXian made any sound, Lan WangJi looked up and saw him. After some hesitation, he walked over with a darkened expression. Wei WuXian didn’t know why, but he involuntarily took a step backward. He could almost see scarlet streaks of blood by the corners of Lan WangJi’s eyes. He had to admit… Lan WangJi’s face really did look quite scary. (Chapter 24)

This section is utterly murdering me.

In an "oh, this is an actual peek at how LWJ is actually handling the early days after WWX comes back to life" kind of way.

You have to understand: WWX has been trying to escape him ever since they met again (under the unfounded fear that LWJ would go after him if he knew who WWX actually is).

Wei WuXian originally wanted to sneak away during their expedition off the mountain. However, even though he attempted to run away multiple times, it always ended with Lan WangJi carrying him back with one hand holding the back of his collar. (Chapter 20)

One can argue about how much of an actual effort WWX was putting into the entire escaping ordeal, but the fact remains that LWJ has been stopping him consistently enough it's no secret. LWJ, however, doesn't have a way to know that's why WWX is avoiding him. Hell, he probably thinks it has something to his confession in the previous life, which is heartbreaking all in itself.

The pace of the conversation was extremely fast. Lan WangJi only paused for a moment, and Wei WuXian added, “Go. Any later and the person would have run away. I’ll be back!” Hearing the ‘I’ll be back’, Lan WangJi took one deep look at him and walked off without any more words. (Chapter 23)

(The translation I'm reading in another language makes the "I'll be back" be "I'll be back for sure." I can't tell which is the more accurate translation, but I thought it relevant to point out.)

However, in this moment, WWX asks them to act separately (something LWJ has been actively avoiding) and does so with the promise to meet up with him again. LWJ seems to hesitate, but ultimately chooses to trust WWX and does as he says.

And then, with his task over, he reaches the spot they're supposed to meet at. The hours pass and WWX is nowhere to be seen. By the time WWX gets there, LWJ is looking down with his eyes bloodshot, stuck in place, waiting ever so patiently for him but clearly not in a good space of mind. The intensity of his whole demeanor takes WWX aback, at least until LWJ realizes WWX is hurt and the turmoil is replaced by concern, but.......

It has been hours. He has been having to keep an active eye on WWX so he doesn't escape for a few weeks at the very least. He finally decides to trust WWX, to separate for efficiency's sake for a short while, and he probably believed himself the fool for it. That he, by some miracle, got a second chance with the man he loves and that man rejected him even as a friend in the single, most backhanded way possible.

As happy as he must be to have WWX back, there's no way LWJ in the early parts of the novel is having a good time. Most likely, he spends 90% of the time second guessing WWX's very, very confusing behavior towards him. And, at this specific point, I feel he's actually nearly at his limit. His position is so frail, after all, having to impose his presence on the other to be even given a chance and, for a moment there, he's likely to have believed it all a lost cause once again.

tbh I think that there being no big story somewhere for your dogs is what made them fun when I first found them, if that makes sense.

Like the first art I saw of Machete was the teen art you did of him back in June, and it was like oh??? who is this liddol guy? why is he sad?? ‘It’s the bug-eyed teachers apprentice again’ who is talking about him? Then later I saw the ‘nodding off at the office’ one and it was like oh! It’s the dog again!!!! why he mad? why he eepy? and then stumbling across Art of him and Vasco (I think it was the reunion one) and it was like alr Ive gotta find out who this doggo is

Anyway I remember sitting in the grass of my grandparents front lawn and going through your entire blog to learn more about Machete :3 it was so so fun to pick up little bits and pieces of him as I went further back So I think that experience was a neat core part of discovering your dogs and I really love that.

A couple of people have said the same thing, and I think it's wonderful that you found them interesting enough that you went through the trouble of combing through my old posts and figuring out how things connect!

I can see how the process itself might be part of the fun for some, but you'd have to be really invested in these dogs to go scouting for that hard to find and disorganized lore. I'd imagine it takes a lot of effort, initiative and time to do that.

sketch wip of these two in the total drama island art style… i’m doing art style studies as a challenge for myself and, in a way, character design practice. it’s so fun and good practice actually >_<

i wish they had delved more into aura early on with each character. we only really get that with jaune—him having a lot of it, and then learning to recharge it faster in atlas—, but they could have done so much more with other characters, how it affects their fighting style as well as another avenue of growth.

sure, for characters like ruby and blake, whose semblances are more based on maneuverability and evasion, knowing how much aura they have may not make a massive difference, but for weiss and yang, it could.

how much aura does weiss have, and how much aura does using her semblance drain? does glyphs drain less than summoning? does infusing dust into them drain it more? is summoning one time cost or a constant drain as long as the summon is active?

imagine how much more strategic weiss would have to be, if she had—relatively speaking—less aura than most; why she'd rely on her summons more once they're available to her; how their larger drain would come as a surprise to her, making a huge difference during, say, the haven fight, weiss learning the hard way to alter her fighting style because what she did before just won't do anymore.

or perhaps she has a lot of aura, allowing her to spam her glyphs and summons with wild abandon. either works, either says something about weiss as a character—we just need the information first.

and yang. . . to charge her semblance, she needs to take physical damage first, meaning she essentially has double the cost for her aura; first the hit, then the activation of her semblance.

she could have a lot of it or very little, though "lots and lots of aura" would work better with her already existing arc; tying it into her V4 arc and training with tai, she could practice recharging her aura during combat, learning when it's better to go on offensive and when to take a step back, go on defensive and use that time to recharge, giving her more options with her semblance and minimizing the drain it has on her aura, as well as the risk so she doesn't end up using her semblance and running out of aura like in the adam fight.

do you see the vision? there's so much that could be done with aura character-wise, informing us more about them as well as their fighting styles and how it could evolve. more than anything, it would be fairly simple to tie it into already existing character arcs, so there's no need for any clunky scenes where everyone tells each other their maximum aura levels, etc.

Sometimes I wonder how I'm ever gonna be able to work on the other Spinch stories I have, I have so many ideas for things but only so much fixation power

[low-battery-warniing]

i feel like part the reason why khan doorman get so much hate (and mischaracterization) is because a lot of the fans have a much easier time imagining the impact of his actions, compared to those of, for example, cyn. if that makes sense

Early Yzma sketches by Andreas Deja, from when The Emperor's New Groove was in development as "Kingdom in the Sun". He envisioned her as "a sultry, seductive and power hungry diva", and was inspired by supermodel poses he saw in fashion magazines.
