Poppy for N2 au, it took me so long to make her design cuz I didn't really know what I wanted to do only because I feel like her design is pretty perfect.

But then I just thought about fun outfits to give her or outfits that I would find comfortable if I was wearing them and it all came together.

Poppy here is pretty much the same as here movie counterpart, as nothing really changes on her end of things other than having more insight on Branch through his brothers, and through Lief. Shes also a bit more understanding a bit earlier on because of it but it doesnt do much to change her own character arc I would say.

Bonus

Part of Poppys design was based off a design I had made for previous rulers of Troll Village/Tree

Namely Queen Protea who I designed as Poppys grandmother

Named after the Protea flower which part of her design is based off :D

In the context of this Au Protea was the one who conceptualized the tunnels while her son, King Peppy, was the one to follow through after her death

The reason this fandom hates IDW Optimus isn't because he's a cop (plenty of people are fine with Prowl) or because he's a bastard (most characters in IDW are) but because he commits the crime of being an actual person who's messy, flawed, and makes a shitload of high stakes mistakes fitting for the intense situations and pressure he's put under constantly.

But we can't have Optimus actually react to his situations by lashing out or being unpleasant, no, he has to have the personality of a cardboard cutout of G1 whose only defining personality traits are "dad, funny, nice," and if he ever vents negative emotions it can only ever be #relatable depression or him being sad on his own without ever letting it show during the important parts of the story. If Optimus dares do things like be angry or frustrated or bitter it's just a sign that he's a bastard and LITERALLY the worst Optimus ever. If Optimus ever makes mistakes or does wrong things in the heat of anger/frustration/stress it's because he's just an evil bastard with no redeeming traits.

God forbid Optimus go through an unending gauntlet of war, politics, atrocities, near-complete loneliness, and a seemingly endless cycle of violence for his entire life and come out of it kind of bitter, angry, and tired of dealing with people's shit. He's not allowed to be a realistic person, context doesn't matter, sympathy doesnt matter. IDW Optimus doesn't fulfill the fandom's fantasies of Father Figure or Perfect Cultural Icon or Twinky Fucktoy and since that's the only reason most people care about Optimus in general, the fandom collectively trashes on IDW OP.

All because he can't fit into the overly simplified and childlike double standard the fandom has where if any other character is messy and flawed, that's good writing and interesting and compelling, but if OPTIMUS is messy and flawed, he's Literally The Worst and he's an asshole for no other reason than He Sucks, context be damned

is it truly possible for lauren and kaisa to put aside their differences so they can yell at anders?

Oh absolutely. I think they’d passive aggressively do father/daughter activities together just to fuck with him

soriku week 2023 day 7, dreaming/waking (unconscious/awakened, unreality/recompletion; another side, another story)

GOD IM OVER A WEEK LATE BUT W/E ITS DONE

i associate the song on the wing by owl city with soriku for some reason, and this is my attempt to explain why

definitely my most ambitious piece of artwork in literal years, esp considering i know next to nothing about composition/layout/typesetting/etc

its messy and rough and theres a million things that could/should be cleaned up, but i need to just it post already and stop messing with it before it disappears into my drafts forever bc of my OCD

♡ font ♡ heart bokeh texture ♡ twinkle texture ♡ comic template

and since this is by far the most planning ive done for a drawing in a loooooong time, im putting a bunch of process images under the cut (including the original SAI concept sketch i did way back in june):

Minor throwaway sentence in a book on corruption I've just finished was talking about 1930s gangsters and about certain organisations in Chicago which the author stated were more ethnically diverse than the Italian mafia, and whose members were said to have included 'Irish, Welsh, Italian, and Jewish' gangsters.

Now call me sheltered but I've seen MANY Italian American gangsters immortalised in film, I've heard of the Jewish mob, and the police Irish American gangs but I have yet to see a movie about the Welsh mob. As a rule I don't go in for gangster movies but I feel there's an unfilled niche here and also I need more info.

Today I, an aromantic, was getting ready to attend a wedding… with Stranger on repeat.

[shadowsight-aster]

decided to design a more in-depth look for flippa cause i wanted to do a pocket-sized animatic with her :3 this girl may be gone forever and ever but she will always hold a special place in my heart in the exact shape of a minecraft egg backflipping whenever i was figuring her out, i decided i wanted her to be a poison dragon, to coincide with her color palette and also as a little ironic bit to her quiet nature and sweet personality she's small but fatal. like a poison dart frog next to her is. well, her. kinda sorta it's complicated less saturated juanaflippa simply nicknamed J (like. like j murder drones froths at the mouth. dies even) because binary? is super long i have this like. one big theory about the codes/their disguises actually and i've been thinking about it literally all the time i don't want to give too much away cause i'm working on a storyboard for it but the general gist is: the federation makes kids a litttttle fucked up. just a smidge. maybe a couple times over actually because all they know how to do is fucking. blow shit up apparently /j

[bittersweetblasphemy]

the problem with writing a fantasy loosely based on a historical culture is you need to decide how "loose" you're willing to go. like yeah i know they didn't have silk but fuck you there's a literal god sitting right the fuck there and of course he would want that shit. but also would the protagonist know what the fuck a book is?
