#heroes and villains theme

[kathaynesart]

Here is my submission for Round 3 of the @tmntfashioncompetition. The theme was "Heroes and Villains" and while I was tempted to go the cosplay route I really wanted to see if I could lean hard into the fashion aspect and still get the theme across with Vogue vibes alone. This is my first time drawing either Lou Jitsu or Big Mama, but I felt like they were the perfect pair for this theme. I will be going up against the lovely @pommigranite this round! Best of luck to both of us, dear!

Inspo below the cut.

Submission for the third round of the @tmntfashioncompetition

Hey guys remember This Ask? Cuz ever since I have been planning on drawing TSAU!Donnie in the Black Mamba suit from Megamind, but I never actually got around to it......... UNTIL NOW! >:D Also I turned it a bit more purple because of course

(TSAU!Donnie is 100% a huge Megamind fan if that wasn't obvious) (Actually I'm sure Canon Donnie would be as well)

The original suit from the movie under the cut:

My entry for this week of the @tmntfashioncompetition -- up against @tizeline for this round's "Heroes and Villains" theme!

Anyone else remember that '03 episode where Mikey dressed up as a superhero and called himself the Turtle Titan? Well, now it's Rise Mikey's turn! (It always confused me a bit that he chose a red cape instead of... you know... orange?)

The outfit, from TMNT 2003:

@tmntfashioncompetition week 3: Heroes and Villians

tbh i struggled to think of what i wanted to do for this prompt, but i was inspired by my opponent this week, @kathaynesart, and decided to draw a scene that is actually a sneak peek into the egg saga's canon

Okay. Since we're going over all the takes on Mr. X at this point.. What if his powers really don't have a backside. What if (the state of) his normal life is the backside.

What if his normal life is akin to that of heroes where he has to pretend to be something he's not and follow rules that the people who control his life came up with to further their own goals. What if he can only be free of other people's beliefs and expectations when he's a hero.

What if in reality he truly is like everyone else. The other heroes. The ordinary people. All those who work themselves to the bone, who are tired and overworked and sick of all the exploitation...

What if when he's in the form of the number one hero.. when he becomes the most sought after product on the hero market..

Is when he gains the freedom to truly be himself

jayce: yeah when viktor turned evil i told him how i always admired him for the parts of him he thought were weakness because they were parts of him & we tenderly held each other while everything started breaking down with us in the center of it & that basically fixed everything

any hero/villain pairing that are exes: what the FUCK

I think the reason a big sector of the mha fandom who doesn't see the flaws of the ending it's the same type of sector who praises a work following "real world logic" over the themes presented in that work that should've been respected.

A lot of arguments in favor of the ending end up being "well shigaraki killed people, he getting killed is good do you want criminals in the street? You have a broken moral" which is an obtuse argument.

Let me give an example: steven universe

a lot of people got mad for the ending because it was "unrealistic", a lot of people wanted to see steven beat to pulp the diamonds, yeah they're criminals however that wouldn't match the themes of the show, steven universe is about second chances, to resolve things without violence, to improve and accept yourself, you can dislike the ending, but you can't say isn't thematically accurate, the steven who tries to understand and help other enemy gems and help them to get better for the whole show, in the final moment killing and beating to death the big bad of the show doesn't make sense. Call it unrealistic, but the show had something to say, and stick to it.

You dont see this happening in mha, i saw people praising it for being realistic but, realism doesn't automatically make a work better, specially when that wasn't the original premise. A lot of much eloquent people than me have pointed out why this ending is deeply flawed (like for example how constantly we're being told to save the villans but not actually doing it), so i just wanted to point out how a lot of people care more about a work being "morally good" (and only in certain aspects) rather than being consistent and follow what message that wants to transmite.

Is something really sad, because it makes discussion and analysis something less about how well a work of art show us and present us its message and more a "you are a bad person because you wanted the villan to live"

you know what I hate in fics that "redeem" characters? especially antiheroes or villains who -in canon- call out oppressive regimes, the status quo, criticize the privileged, etc.? it's the fact that they are usually 'redeemed' via their relationships with "hero" characters. and by doing this, the writer just. invalidates all the systemic issues the character is supposed to be criticizing as if they don't exist, or as if the character wasn't criticizing the status quo at all! I see this is a refusal to engage with actual problems that villain/anti-hero characters often protest against, and as a refusal to admit the hero characters are complicit with the status quo. and a villain/anti-hero fan, it is very, very annoying.

Also, this makes these characters seem almost "hysteric", which is even more frustrating

"Her time with Halbrand was a time where she was very much herself in some ways because she was an Elf alone. She wasn't following the rules of her people at that point. So, he knows a part of her that other people, other beings, don't, and there's a tragedy to losing that, and through losing him, she's also lost that part of herself. " --Morfydd Clark

I thought we were done with LA press day bounties and the latest drop brought the most devastating line yet. 😭 I could go on and on about this aspect of Galadriel's characterization and in particular what being around Halbrand/Sauron brings out of her compared to how she acts when she's back in the 'nest' as it were. I don't know if it's intentional or not but something about the way they've written Galadriel reintegrating back into her community just felt subtly stifling and like that'd be one thing if the writers were self-aware about it but I got the impression it's meant to be this 100% good/wholesome thing about maturation and growth. I think this is the first time someone from the show has spoken of it differently, because there is a Loss there too. A pretty profound one.

Yes she had reasons to feel guilty and that would mean a humbled Galadriel in season 2, but I couldn't help but also notice the way she holds herself, bites her tongue, struggles to contain her anger and pain, are all pretty similar to how she acted around the elves in season 1 before she was exiled. And we subsequently saw her really sparking and expressing everything she felt after jumping off that ship, meeting Halbrand, causing a ruckus on Numenor, etc etc. (With Habrand especially, I think the way I described it once when watching s1, the reason the dynamic really grabbed me and what I saw as Galadriel coming alive, is that he spoke to her like she was just a woman, the real flesh and blood person in between the black sheep of the elves or the untouchable Lady of Light. It's no wonder he got her to bare her soul in that forge.) I reject the idea that all of that was just this flawed part of her she needs to erase from her character to become the true Galadriel. Character growth should temper her more impulsive and reckless traits but not figuratively lobotomize her.
