I had been feeling attached to some G/T vibes again really heavily at the time and ended up deciding on keeping some of that G/T stuff within the story as well in canon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Compromised with him ending up bigger with time and even his normal form starting to get that way as well, along with getting more features from when he's in the other bigger demon form. He was hiding it with a glamour and size manipulation spells like a self-prescription, up until he couldn't anymore and he felt ashamed and scared to let Lucy know how bad it was getting but she wants to deal with it together and he shouldn't have to hide it.
shitpost that turned into a tf2 comic art style practice thats a part of my 5 year long evil plan to secretly make the 7th comic while valve isn't looking
audio is from Trixie Mattel takes a lie detector test lol
i think the reason why im so drawn to spirit tracks and pkmn scarvi is that having the legendary/princess as a companion rather than a goal that marks the games completion makes me feel satisfied the way i would after helping a friend
my brother always teases me about how I still havent finished botw after almost 7 years bc "id rather be out picking flowers" which i wont say is untrue. and yes i know Zeldas been holding off ganon for 100 years, yes i can get some sort of idea what her relationship with link was like by recalling memories and going through her diary. ive always loved botw for its unique storytelling and setting which makes it stand out, because it lets you get to know who you're saving.
but because theyre memories, it only works if theres something for the player to investigate that already happened. its retroactive (but effective nonetheless)
on the other hand, spirit tracks does something similar but instead of having the player try to piece together memories and interpret them as a spectator, you actually have an opportunity to get to know zelda yourself by talking to her and working together. besides making it a gameplay mechanic, giving the player control over how they interact with zelda makes it so much more personable.
and I find that making the goal feel personal instead of an obligation gives me more of a reason to work towards it. I know what kind of person botw zelda was but as the player, shes still very much a stranger to me. but spirit tracks zelda? thats my friend!!!! she invited me to go to the beach after we get her body back!!! i dont want to whip her to make her move faster thats mean :(
you know how hostage negotiators are trained to introduce themselves and get to know the person theyre negotiating with because its harder to hurt someone when you know what their favorite food is? its kinda like that, because it feels like im helping a friend than being told or led to do smth
and although i havent played scarvi myself, i feel an attachment to koraidon and miraidon even just watching playthrough clips because its like!! thats my weird scaly dog!! it loves sandwiches and we're friends!!! you know!!!!!!
It’s not a dpxth exclusive scenario but maybe the fact that they were both made to witness a Bad End accidentally caused by a selfish choice they made. Jim w/ the wish he didn’t pick up the amulet (I might be wrong about how exactly this went, I haven’t rewatched the shoe in a while) and danny w/ cheating on his exam.
Anon, you have no idea how much this is exactly the kind of idea I want to draw!! Comparisons of parallels between the shows even if they're not identical is one of my favorite kinds of posts to make here. It actually inspired me to sketch out an 8 page idea, which is gonna take me FOREVER to turn into final drawings- so for now, I would like to share with you my sketches. They're partially inked for clarity - inked stuff is just the concepts I thought were really solid (mostly), and the pencil bits I feel I need to rework (like composition wise). I also did not use references for anything here. In any case! Here is my idea!
Hope you enjoy! I will finalize this over the next few weeks :)
I'm a little shocked that people think that Korn is a better dad than Gun/Kan just because he doesn't physically beat his kids.
like, Korn very clearly sees his children as a means to more power so he attempts to control them through fear and manipulation.
not to mention he intentionally risked his son's lives when enacted his plan to take over the minor family by faking his death. He knew he would risk all of their lives but especially Kinn's.
like yeah, Gun/Kan fucking SUCKS we hate that guy. And I'm sure he used the same kind of fear and manipulation tactics to control his children just like Korn did (but with the added threat of physical violence). But just because Korn may not have hit his sons, that doesn't mean he was, by any means, a good father who tried his best to raise his sons.
So Starstruck Odyssey grabbed me by the throat and rocketed it’s way to second place campaign for me (TUC still has first in my heart ❤️) but uhm. Can you tell who my favorite character is. It’s definitely not Skip I promise why would you think that-
