I would like to hear about Monty shenanigans please :D
okayokayokay!!!! :DDDDD
so um. first off. bit of context about his existence. since hero's a college fellow who seems to be living on campus, he'd probably be dealing with a dormmate of sorts, so i made said dormmate an oc,,, and that's monty, folks
i actually initially wrote monty as an easy way to eventually introduce hero in my fic at an earlier time because it'd be. a pain for that to happen naturally without something else there to move it along. even tho sunny's moved to nearby and hero's college campus is in that city it'd be. pretty difficult for them to meet naturally. lmao
...but i wound up just getting attached to monty so he's my son now. i'm still ofc writing him in the fic i just love him a lot
okay with all that out of the way,,, let's go into his actual character
monty's like. real clumsy. a klutz if you will. don't let him near the kitchen. i already wrote it in the fic but he infamously almost set the whole dorm on fire by trying to microwave a burrito. hero had to take responsibility for it
he's very cringefail. he gets no bitches. this is the good year 1995 though so he needs bitches. but he feels nothing toward the bitches. but. society. it is a painful cycle
monty's a whole fucking nerd(tm), if this story took place in the modern day then he'd be able to explain to you the entire kingdom hearts plot in excruciating detail. or fnaf lore. or metal gear lore. if a media's lore is complicated as hell, give him some coffee and about 20 minutes and he'll figure it out
he likes playing games!! card games, board games, video games, any kind, really. though he's usually stuck playing alone...
they've been roommates for about i think a year? by the time of the game? but monty and hero aren't exactly friends. they haven't talked much throughout that first year. you could barely call them acquaintances. monty doesn't even know about hero's nickname!!! he just calls him henry
they would've started to talk more once hero came back from faraway though. he'd be a bit down given uh. the fact that his friend got hospitalized. so monty would've tried to cheer him up. he prolly suggested visiting sunny in the hospital
and things did get a bit better. until. the truth. you can see how that would've been right here
uhhh there's more but i made this post long enough haha

how about that uhhhhh Fantasy Julie. she gets her sword <3 no one can take it from her <3
rambles:
SIKE you get an extra, lower quality doodle
SIKE AGAIN here's the rambles
yeah... i caved and gave her a tail... I'm Not Sorry! it's cute! i wanted to stick with her sorta flower motif - it's stronger in her princess look, since I imagine that when she was part of the royals she was very blatantly flower power based. it was her Thing!
but a Julie free of her noble shackles... she deserves her big sword. like yeah, she has flower magic, but who needs it when she has a Giant Blade??? on the royalty vein, and if we're classifying "rainbow monster" as a species, i feel like horn size/curve would be a status symbol of some kind. maybe Julie would have kept her horns filed short. but if she ran away from that life... longer horns! i like to imagine that they'll keep growing until she has a pair of Extra Weapons attached to her head! curved forward like mammoth tusks maybe!
i imagine that like Frank, she goes with minimal armor - range of movement over protection, yk? some scale mail over her front, a thick leather flower over her chest w/ scalloped leather pauldrons, wrist armor and metal knuckles! i'd think that the faux-suspenders include a back sheath for her sword... i wish i'd thought of that Before i finished the little ref! i don't feel like going back and editing!
i imagine that she was forced to cut her hair when it got caught in something (a gelatinous cube, mayhaps). it didn't look good! don't let anime and Mulan fool you! cutting your own hair with a blade will not look nice! but someone - Eddie, probably, he's good with scissors i'd assume - cleaned it up for her. and hey, it didn't look bad! plus, Julie probably liked being able to just tuck up her long strands into her hat when she's feeling a bit more like a Julius than a Julie!
it's been a fun challenge transforming their canon outfits into a similar variation with fantasy flavoring and twists! i want them to suit the setting but still maintain Themselves! Julie's was tough i gotta admit. i was messing around with the princess look and the fighter look side-by-side. it worked better when i sat back and thought "fighter Julie is Julie unrestrained. that version would be more aligned with her canon look"
i wanted her princess form to look Restrained! she has to be a ~delicate flower~, a noble woman, pristine and poised and very much a princess. soft colors, poofy clothing, bright white gloves that are not to be sullied. carefully bundled up hair! jewelry! that dress must be Heavy and hard to move in! her tail must be so cramped under there!
but Julie Unleashed? violent pinks! rose gold accents! short skirt so that she can sprint and Kick! fun boots that she can be active in and delight in watching them get dirty! her hair is free to whip in the wind and get caught in things! fun straps and Deadly Accessories! a sword that she stole from the royal armory on her way out the window! she has forearm wraps both to match Frank and to support her wrists!

people say don't use pure black in your art, but idk i've been using that for all of my reassassination art these days and i think it really adds to the "2000s horror comic" vibe i want the project to have - though i don't really do the same for other ocs, so i guess it depends on the tone of the work you're producing... let me know what you think about it!

I think something that Dragons Rising is doing so so well is making the ninja cooler.
I know that sounds weird. But listen. The ninja aren't the main characters anymore! Wanna know who the main characters are? Arin and Sora. Two 15 year olds. Two kids, one of which was raised learning about the ninja and how cool they are.
And the thing is, they are cool! But in the older seasons, the ones focused on the ninja themselves, we focus on the flaws (because the whole point of their seasons are character development.) We don't see them as cool as they are because the narration is from their point of view. Everything that they do is just day-to-day stuff. And, honestly, we get desensitized to all the things we'd normally think is cool because to them its normal!
I think my first epiphany of this was back in season 2 i think when Jay, who is generally perceived to be the weakest of the ninja, easily judo flips Darreth like its nothing, and we know that guy isn't the lightest of people. I saw that and went "huh." because if it wasn't him interacting with a normal citizen i wouldnt think anything of it. If it was him sparring with lloyd or something id be like "yeah whatever ninja do that." but it wasnt until i saw it from outside the ninja's perspective that it really made me think wow these kids are cool.
And thats exactly what dragons rising is doing. Arin is the main character. Our narrative point of view is coming from his eyes. We focus less on the ninja's flaws and more on what makes them awesome. We are looking at them through an inexperienced, child based, point of view. When seeing Lloyd do fancy sword maneuvers would have been normal because pshaw everyone does that is now really cool because wow you dont see that every day.
Dragons Rising allows us to go huh. These are ninjas that have been training and fighting for more than 10 years together. They are really freaking COOL for that.
So Arin, i'm behind you kid. I get your ninja fandom too.
