the watcher announcing that they’re putting all their new content behind a paywall and leaving youtube on the same day as ttpd releases in two parts feels like consecutive sucker punches. feels like i’m mourning a best friend i lost to bad life decisions while attending a funeral hosted by me for myself

Did you guys know Monica von Ochs is only 3 inches taller than your average Delphox. Anyways as usual her team’s backgrounds’ll be under the cut.

Delphox (Lovelace): Monica's first Pokemon and her most loyal companion. Monica's own proficiency in fire spells is largely thanks to her studying Lovelace's fire type moves and practicing with her. Lovelace was never able to learn Teleport, which caused some friction between her and Euler when he was first captured.

Corvisquire (Asprey): Monica received a Rookidee as part of Adrestia's tradition of nobles raising Pokemon of this line. Monica actually has trained her to be able to say several words and phrases, though she is not fluent in human languages like a certain Meowth. She can remember and repeat messages too sensitive to be written down. Highly intelligent and a capable battler, Asprey elected to stay a Corvisquire for now in order to be less of an obvious target when delivering messages over long distance.

Alakazam (Euler): Monica wanted to study the differences between an Abra's teleport and a Mage's Warp spell, so she tracked one down to try to befriend. She followed him for days as he teleported away. Eventually, she recognized a pattern which could be solved mathematically, and devised a scheme. She would send Lovelace to spook him into teleporting, and she would already be waiting for him at his destination. This feat impressed him so much that he decided to join her.

Crawdaunt (Evelyn): Once, when Monica was visiting Enbarr, she made friends with a Corphish while she was enjoying the beach. She wanted a partner who could swim with her, and wanted a teammate who would eventually be able to cover her team's glaring dark type weakness, so she invited Evelyn along, who enthusiastically joined her.

Metang (Turing): While Monica was captured by TWSITD, her single respite was a friendly Beldum she would talk to when nobody else was around. It was supposed to be guarding her cell, but none of her captors noticed when it fled along with her, assuming it to have perished in the scuffle.

Ekans (Hypatia): Monica's most recently acquired companion. After discovering Edelgard's aversion to rat Pokemon, she quietly went out and captured a snake Pokemon to keep rat Pokmeon away from her.

Just wanted to mention this to someone who does art and get their opinion on it:

Sometimes I see some artists do redraws of their old artworks or characters and think "Wow, uh... their older art looks better." Sometimes it's only mildly better, but other times it's vastly better. Like the Upgrade, Go Back! meme.

I understand that art skills are supposed to develop and change, hopefully for the better, but sometimes it just feels like they got... worse? Somehow? Idk. Maybe it's because they were copying another artist's style while finding their own, and it's their own style that doesn't vibe with me? Just curious what your thoughts are about this.

Also, your art has consistently been great, so this isn't directed at you.

I do see this on occasion yeah! usually (in my experience anyway) its because people take a sharp turn towards a stylization that either isn't to your or most people's tastes, or that they don't understand or are still developing. switching up how you stylize your art is like starting over in a sense, you're changing from what you have practice with and that's always going to cause you to revert some as you have to re-learn things you understood in your previous style. i had a pretty big style shift in 2014 when i took up the basis for how my art looks now, and i remember feeling like some of the stuff i was drawing might have looked better if i was using my older style instead. that's something artists just have to push through and figure out, and they'll likely come out of it a better artist than they were before. constructive critiques are a good way for them to figure out why their art might not be as "good" as it used to be, if they're open for those.

art is not always a linear journey, and i would also say things like passion and motivation have a part in it too. feeling inspired sparks you to make something the best it can be, if you're not feeling it (and esp if that feeling lasts for a long time) it'll leave you making decisions you otherwise would not have let fly, and that can result in worse art. and some of it is just personal preference! it's not that their art is better or worse, it's just different now, and maybe that doesn't vibe with you the same way their old stuff did. and that's fine 👍

(thank you! :3 i admittedly struggle a bit with Not Feeling It sometimes like i just described, so it's nice to know people still enjoy what i make when that feeling hits.)

Okay well, this is dramatic and all, and you know I'm a sucker for speedster lore and this backs up literally everything I've been saying about speedsters BUT

Wally's chilling in the Lord of Time's dimension and I'm pretty sure it's Wally's house now?? I think it's his now. They renamed it Planet Flash. So.. yeah. Yeah, Wally's fine. He's good.

Anyway I just think one of the many reasons OFMD resonates with me so much is its focus on kindness and hope. Here you have these two men who have hit a wall, who feel trapped and hopeless within the confines of their lives. And all it takes is one chance meeting, one chance event, for their lives to turn completely around. A bit of kindness and understanding from someone is what powers them on. And I adore that so much.

It shows that, no matter how bleak, there’s still light to be found. There’s still kindness awaiting you. That, at any moment, your life could take an unexpected turn towards peace, and warmth, and happiness. That you can suddenly and unexpectedly be found.

I just think that’s important, especially with so many people feeling directionless right now- myself included. It’s even more important that it shows all of this happening with middle aged men too. Because, society loves to put a hard time limit on age. As in, if you don’t have it all figured out by your mid-twenties, you’ve somehow failed or missed your chance.

But OFMD shows that there’s still time. There’s always still time. And there’s always still warmth and kindness awaiting.

If anyone feels like celebrating my birthday alongside me, feel free to read and drop comments on some of my fics, it would make me smile and I’ve written for a possibly bizarre combination of fandoms so there’s (probably????) something you recognize! And you get to read fic, which is hopefully an enjoyable experience for you???

Okay that’s all. Drink water, take your meds, I love you!! 💜

I don't post about him too much because he's still a big wip because i haven't had a Httyd phase in a hot sec BUT:

Here he is in Httyd 1 and in 2!!(Gotta give him a Rtte design too)His name is Pipsqueak Reidun and he's a berk viking who's parents,Gertrud and Osmund,were killed under mysterious circumstances when he was little,leaving him to raise himself because none of the adult residents wanted to take him in due to his otherness(Queerness + Neurodivergence/Mental disabilities).Him and Hiccup grew up together as best friends and him and Astrid get on good terms in the first movie and are besties too by the time the first cartoon ends!!Berk accepts him post Httyd 1 because of his association to Hiccup and proving himself as a worthy warrior and i haven't figured out how yet but he ends up becoming part Rose Fury-Rose Furys being a Night Fury variant that are pink and have vine-like patterns on their scales-after meeting and training one and naming her Cloudy Skies!!Like i said him and Hiccup are eachother's love interests and it's a slowburn,with them not getting together until Httyd 2!And since i love Astrid so fucking much,she's a lesbian in this verse who's married to Ruffnut♡Oh and the main human trio are all trans :] Pip transmasc genderfluid and bigender super femme,Hic trans man and Strid butch trans woman!!

HELLOOOO I FUCKING LOVE HIM !!!! Childhood best friends to lovers slow burn is the realest thing ever actually . ALSO I FUCKIN LOVE HIM BECOMING PART ROSE-FURY THAT SOUNDS SO COOL??? GIVE HIM DRAGON FEATURES NOOWW !!! And omg it'd be sweet to see him and Hiccup's relationship develop in the series before the second movie :33 ASTRID AND RUFFNUT SOOOO FUCKING REAL I LOVE THEM !!!! Also hmmm very curious about the mysterious circumstances of his parent's deaths .... does this come up later?? Ponders ....

THIS IS PRETTY OLD ART FORGIVE ME BUT !! ourss I'd say these are rtte designs :33 they have matching star charms and the belt on Blaze's S/I was a gift from Snotlout!! Blaze's is transmasc and mine is genderfluid :33 mine is besties w tuffnut and is lowkey crushing on Astrid while Blaze's is besties r Ruffnut and dating Snotlout :33 . They ran away from home together at a young age and snuck into a random ship, and it just so happened to lead to Berk! Have yet to decide where they come from or their dragons asrgghfh
