Saw a post talking about this and didn't want to derail it, but like, honestly, at this point, I'm becoming less and less tolerant of people acting like straight/cis passing privilege is a real, very serious thing that needs to be taken into consideration every time someone speaks on queer issues bcs I swear to god the only time I ever see it actually brought up is when someone is trying to deny someone else a seat at the table. Like first it was used against bi+ people to explain why we're not queer unless we're in a same gender relationship, and then it was used to shit all over ace and aro people for not being "visibly queer", then they turned on nonbinary people who "look cis", and now I see people throwing it at trans men for some reason like???? This is legit becoming an exclusionist dogwhistle to me. Any merit to this concept is completely obliterated by assholes who are so addicted to playing oppression olympics they're meticulously crafting pokemon type advantage charts to categorize all the gays based on who actually has "real" problems and who doesn't, it's agonizing.
Like putting "straight/cis passing privilege" up on the shelf next to "comphet" until people can learn how to use it in a way that doesn't invalidate someone else's queerness.

An unfinished Linked Universe / Zelda 1&2 animatic.
I forgot I'd made this!!! I'd gotten to a point where I realized I wanted to understand Hyrule's games better before continuing, so I stopped. Not sure if I'll return to it but I think what's here is pretty cool and worth sharing!
Linked Universe is from @linkeduniverse. The song is Run Boy Run by Woodkid.
The song works so well for Rulie aAAAA!!! The imagery around Hyrule is so fun to play with, too! Red, and blood, and hands, and eyes, and fire, and gold, and the triforce- it's all so good!
(made this in December 2021 lol)

btw, Nicktoons Unite nation, Timmy has heat vision. He wished for it in a season one episode and then an episode in a later season confirmed he still has it. Just putting that out there because I think it would be really funny for him to use it in front of the others with no warning.

i do genuinely think an adult, fully-realized kon would be able to defeat superman in a fight. not just saying that bc he's my fav or whatever but because like. ttk is so op. telekinetic power with the range and raw strength to destroy every single gun in LA, and the finesse of control to not destroy anything else? that alone is a huge force to be reckoned with. add kryptonian abilities on top of that and you've got a fucking powerhouse. like um devs? op tbh pls nerf (except don't, because i find that sooooo tasty.)
because to clark, i think this is a good thing! it isn't quite so lonely when he's got a little brother/son/they really can't label it but they're family, who understands the alienation. the burden of having so much power. the fear of what your own hands can do. he sees in kon a kindred spirit, although it also saddens him that kon has to feel this burden too.
but kon?
oh, kon is terrified of himself.

TAG GAME TIME! thank you @wispstalk for the tag!
post your 9 favorite album covers. like, aesthetics, not necessarily favorite albums. (some happen to be favorite albums i won’t lie)
these aren’t in any particular order of preference and i’m providing genre descriptions (according to me) just because
1. fishing for fishies - king gizzard and the lizard wizard (psychedelic boogie folk rock and briefly electronic boogie stuff)
2. thornstar - lord of the lost (metal)
3. seven inches of satanic panic - ghost (psychedelic 60s pop)
4. age of aquarius - villagers of ioannina city (greek stoner folk rock and metal. they literally use like bagpipes and clarinet it’s incredible)
5. pentiment soundtrack - alkemi (medieval video game music lol)
6. weapon- skinny puppy (industrial electronic)
7. gothic nightmare - imperial night (prog rock. THESE DUDES ARE MY FRIENDS YALL SHOULD LISTEN TO THEM)
8. you thought we ran out of poop song ideas. you were wrong - the toilet bowl cleaners (poop music. literally so hard to pick a moternverse album cover because matt farley is a musical genius with hundreds of album covers to choose from)
9. tarot - aether realm (melodic death metal from north carolina and not finland)
@theoutli3r @tiptapricot @pokimoko @scuntallope @corduroysockz and anyone who sees this and wants to do it too! i haven’t opened tumblr in a hot minute so my memory of everyone’s urls is bad </3

I am very intrigued by how the "Toa Tool" thing works.
Like, yeah, some are made by Arthaka or other famous universe toolsmiths, but for many matoran-turned-toa, their tools are often related to their professions or straight up are tools they had in hand that are transformed alongside them during the metamorphosis.
Vakama was a mask carver, carving masks from kanoka disks, and his tool turned out to be a launcher that could use the raw materials of his profession as projectiles (well, not a hard thing considering they already are used as projectiles by many, but still...).
Takua's Chronicler staff became Takanuva's Staff of light, a powerful weapon that, coincidentally, could also function as a rather deadly version of a Kohili Stick.
These items also seem to be strongly tied with their own wielder physical being, as the toa Hagah weapons were transformed along their users, but despite this, they can also be left behind for the sake of better equipment (Mahri Kongu) which, although understandable in some cases (Two hands), still feels weird. That's not just a weapon, that's a part of you.
Its such an interesting concept that seems so often discarded in favour of elemental powers and mask, but like... Its YOUR weapon. It is related to a matoran entire being, their life, their experiences and things they enjoy. It's a way to use one's passion in a way that lets them protect others, and often also have additional functions based on what they may need. How cool is that? Think about it.
There could be a toa of ice whose job as a matoran was janitor and their weapon is a mop that can freeze its tendrils and become a morningstar, or generate a frozen layer over what its passed over, painting ice paths in an instant.
There could be a toa of air who had a passion for botany and took care of the MU version of bonsai trees, their precision shears turned into a huge, bulky pair of scissors that can be used as a broadsword that can also manipulate air currents to cut things from distance.
There could be a toa of iron whose main job was welding, and lo and behold, the clunky, cumbersome equipment he struggled to drag around became a big flamethrower that it wears like a backpack, complete with a welding mask integrated on top of their own kanohi as a visor.
There could be a Toa of stone who enjoyed the life of a performer, juggling, somersaulting, doing precision throws and whose tool is now a set of spiky or bladed clubs that can bounce on surfaces and enemies alike and then return to them.
A toa of Psionics whose dream to write stories manifested into a strange staff, originally their writing stylus, able to manifest masterful illusions by writing words inside the enemy minds and trap them in stories through the mere strength of their narration.

I just found our about your art and it's so pretty, it also got me thinking about a really badass Au between the submas twins and Panty and stocking; for this Au, I feel like ingo would be someone who hangs back like a sniper or he could have an automatic weapon (idk what though); for Emmet, he could work with a spear or a staff; since this is a Panty and stocking au, Emmet will have panty personality and ingo will be stocking (thier is a few changes to the personas but Idk what it is)
AHHHHHH OK SO ANON OMG this idea is so neat and sorry this took so long to answer but i wanted to try drawing them like you mentioned (bc i adore the style and design of psg so much...)
also let's just... pretend that they maybe use either a spare coat or... hmm some other item for the weapon transformations themselves because while i think the coat absolutely makes the most sense for the weapons i also can't draw these guys without their coats on here their coats are too important!! 😭
(btw thank you so much!!! 🥺💖)
