i cant believe im spending my precious free time thinking about characters such as a narcoleptic silver king quail, a weirdly menacing chukar partridge, a stuck-up french fantail pigeon, et cetera. real good use of my waking hours

Ugh am I really gay for heather chandler or am I just gay for her outfit which by the way is a red jacket with complementary gold chains, a unique take on the idea of a mean girl as they don’t usually wear such a military style outfit moving on she has a blue skirt that isn’t as short as some other miniskirts in a way that complements the rest of her outfit and her legs in a nice way with a plaid pattern that adds a cool contrast to her red jacket and makes sure that the heathers as a group don’t seem totally monochromatic and also her knee high socks that again complement her legs and are probably my favorite part of the outfit because they are so so cool and her red shoes which show the attention to detail in her wardrobe and also her blonde hair which has an interesting orange hue that I really really like because it complements her pale skin and doesn’t make me cringe at how much she needs toner like so many peoples hair does and her outfit all just flows together so perfectly

Me when I visit a museum, stately home, etc and they have an object or model and the guide mentions it was made by French prisoners of war

And then I am physically incapable of being normal and start asking shit like where did it come from do you have any records of this do you know what year they bought it because now congratulations you've activated I Know Way Too Much About This Topic mode and I will be talking about this object for the rest of the fucking day

If you're wondering, here's what I found today:

It's a model of Noah's Ark made by a pensioner of war at Norman Cross and now at Gunby Hall, Lincolnshire. There are little wooden carved animals inside too but they're unable to get them out due to the current fragile state of the model.

Also the fact I CORRECTLY guessed that this came from Norman Cross before the guide even checked the collection records for it is

Idk

Do I have a problem

[whispence]

just thinking about that time a few years ago when i (kinda) fell out of the yokai watch fandom for a little while (ofc not completely because i can never leave) and when i came back (i think around 2 years ago) i was looking at my old stuff to try to get back into it and wondered why i was so enamoured with whisper. for context i had made an entire cult with like 7 people in it where we just obsessed over whisper and did stuff like spam images of him and just obsessively draw him and other stuff in that vein.

then i watched like one episode and it all came flooding back to me like that bloody scene at the beginning of yokai watch 2 where they regain their memories and i was once again reduced to the state we see me in today.

i have literally no idea why i’m confessing this

[sharky-the-idiot]

hey guys guess what

The battle between the part of me that wants to be a comic book artist and the one that just wants to draw saboverse fanart forever

Ok Godzilla fan brainrot moment?

I think there's a lot of untapped potential in depicting Ghidorah as anything other than a wyvern. His name says he's supposed to be a hydra, so that's why he's always depicted as a three-headed monster, but the most consistent depiction of him has two hind legs and two wings, like a traditional wyvern.

Pretty much all the monsters in the original Showa era movies have some sort of vaguely humanoid shape so they could be suits worn by a single actor, even though Ghidorah had to be puppeteered by several more people outside of the costume. I assume his original body shape was partly chosen for the sake of practicality, since giving him four legs plus wings would have made the acting even harder to coordinate.

However, the recent american depiction of the character even had him looking more wyvern-ish and animalistic, using his wings as forelegs to walk at times. Normally, his characterization as an animal/monster controlled by a higher power wouldn't clash with this creative choice, but in that movie (King of the Monsters) he's the actual controlling force. Not a big deal, but it's a curious evolution.

I'm not an expert in old folklore, but at least in modern media, both classic western (four legs plus wings) and eastern (serpentine, typically smaller limbs and no wings) dragons are usually depicted as more intelligent and powerful than wyverns (who I believe weren't even able to breathe fire traditionally?) so I thought that would be an easy next step for the character.

Don't get me wrong, it's been done before. Not that long ago, I thought The Planet Eater chose to go for a more eastern-looking form for the guy, since he's seemingly depicted as some sort of multi-dimensional snake with several heads and we only saw his traditional silhouette in a sort of dream.

But not only did I find this promising beyond-human-comprehension threat disappointing in its execution, turns out he's actually the same he's ever been. That dream wasn't just a reference for fans, it's how he actually looks, confirmed by merchandise and concept art. Shame. The chinese long Ghidorah well is officially left unexploited.

However, there have been a couple of four-legged, european style depictions. The first one is the overlooked and underappreciated Death Ghidorah/Desghidorah from Rebirth of Mothra. He looks absolutely incredible, exactly as threatening as his name implies.

The one "however" to this is... it's canonically a different character, a relative of the original King. Very close, but as I said, it's an obscure character that only made one film appearance and gets very little attention.

The second one I remember is Kaiser/Keizer Ghidorah, the true form of Monster X, seen in Final Wars, as a proper last opponent in an all-out anniversary movie. He's pretty much everything I just said I want to see.

You could argue that with a different name comes a different character, the wiki certainly treats him as such, and Ghidorah never had this Monster X, held-back form. The closest thing were the Heisei era Dorats that mutate into Ghidorah, obviously a much different thing. As for myself, I think he's perfect. A concept I want to see coming back in the future, just like Mechagodzilla finds ways to keep coming back in very different contexts.

I guess that's the point of this kinda long post. I got caught in the thought that, despite being Godzilla's arch-nemesis, the final boss of the franchise, despite all the decades of film-making and storytelling, there's still so much room for growth and re-imaginings. Pretty cool stuff I think.

a bunch of character designs i did for my ocs for a cute little mythology au!

[destiny-in-the-universe]

Should I make a masterlist of my recent fanfics or something? I am bored and have nothing to do; me when I'm burnt-out from job hunting, so now the idea is to create a fic masterlist where I can just map out what's what for series and incoming ideas and such.

Since I have a lot of projects for RC9GN, I figured why not but I'd like your opinion on it tbh - also other projects which may be featured on Ao3!
