I've never actually drawn a character from shitty YouTube screenshots of concept art before and it was very hard but honestly worth it. I also usually only keep Necro and Undine in their wing forms but honestly these new designs are so fucking cool I couldn't possibly resist.
I looove this new design. I'm really excited for October even if I haven't been playing much Strive lately.
while were on the topic of homosexuality, thoughts on elphelt x bridget?
i actually drew this ship!!
i think theyre soooooo cute together !! the idea of elphelt, who is obsessed with femininity and girl power and whatnot, and bridget who is in the process of discovering and exploring her womanhood makes for a really good combo. i think elphelt would be enraptured by the idea of trans women in a supportive kind of way. and i think people who find the ship lame cuz its "just two cute girls u dont even care about the character" are STUPID!!!!! and ur not even using ur brain like. think about it !
I was once again thinking about this goofy Luffy moment after his Lucci punch™ and i had to see it frame by frame.
first the force of it throws them both away, and while Lucci is seen on screen tumbling for a long moment, Luffy is just away in a blink of an eye.
and then his funny scene - his legs are like jelly that he tries to get under control,
he stumbles, falls, rolls into a mix of all his limbs and eyes,
and then only the cloud behind him cushions his fall
- which would be interesting if he can subconsciously control that while he tries to regain the control over his movements - that the environment around him still adapts to his awakened Devil Fruit abilities and morphs to help him. Where others would probably fall through that cloud, for Luffy that cloud backs him up like a trampoline.
One fairly common criticism of OFMD S2 that drives me a bit bonkers is the idea that Stede gives up his dream of being a pirate (just as he's achieving success!) for Ed.
Here's my thing. If you have lost all faith in the democratic party and do not want to vote for their candidate, I get it. I really do. But you have to have some kind of plan. Not voting at all isn't going to make any kind of statement to the people in power. It's not an effective boycott because it's not disrupting anything. It's not making your voice heard, like voting uncommitted was in the primary.
Do you live in a blue state? Great! Which 3rd party candidate are you organizing for? Jill Stein? Cornell West? Claudia De La Cruz? Pick one and start organizing for them. If you can get at least 5% of the country (which means about 807,000 of your fellow like-minded leftists in blue areas) on board with one specific candidate, that candidate receives a boost in federal campaign funding in the next election cycle. Choose someone who is willing to use their platform in the next 10 years to promote ranked-choice voting on the federal level so that we don't keep having this same discussion every fucking election cycle.
Speaking of which, voting in your local and state elections is key to getting those initiatives on the ballot in the first place! Do your research on local candidates. Go to town hall meetings. Volunteer at a phone bank. Start getting people into positions of power who are willing to fight to get your long-term goals met.
I truly do empathize with people who cannot bring themselves to vote for someone who has been complicit in genocide and feel as though their vote does nothing for democrats anyway. But guys, we have to stop being so short-sighted and defeatist about this. Abstaining completely from the electoral system does nothing to bring attention to the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. If you can't vote for Kamala, figure out who you WILL vote for, and start getting other people on board. Because voting third-party also does nothing if they get 0.3% of the vote nationally. We need to start being smart about using the momentum that leftist politics have gained in the younger population in recent years.
are they really using "the 118 and tommy" as some sort of gotcha? he's not with the 118!! should the synopsis have listed all five of them by name? tommy was jealous of the family dynamic they have now, since it was only just starting to come together when he transferred, that doesn't mean he wants to transfer back! he likes flying choppers. and besides, he gets to be part of that family dynamic now, not just as buck's boyfriend but also through his friendships with eddie and chimney
