I might as well share this, here's a new design for Hades that I've been cooking up!!! I'm so happy with this one genuinely, I've been having trouble with him for so long but this truly feels like the exact vibe I wanted to convey with him

(redraw of something from 2018)

I remember drawing this how has it been 7 years. What on earth man.

I really wanted to redraw this one in particular because I remember being unsatisfied with this piece because I couldn't get the lighting that I wanted. I messed around with a lot of overlays and still couldn't be satisfied with it... so this time I didn't use any alternate layer types at all, just used my color theory knowledge :] this new one took me about 1hr 40... I have no clue how long the original took but I'd wager about the same. Maybe an hour of messing around idk.... Anyways. revisiting old fandoms makes me nostalgic not only for the media but about how much I have grown as an artist. Okay bye <3

Captain America: Brave New World (CABNW) analysis

This movie is all about themes of rehabilitation, hope, and not allowing your past to define your future.

Sam is redefining the mantle of the shield, and reclaiming his independence. Since reaching adulthood, he has worked as part of the military, or in a major team, and always besides super powered people (not that he was the only regular human in the Avengers, but you know). And now Sam gets to herald a new age of modern values of rehabilitation.

Steve was also a man of hope, but he (as a white man) fought the Other: fascists and aliens. AKA, unredeemables (in the short term) and nonhumans. He was from WWII; while the full truth of the matter is that the USA did not join the war out of altruism and a wish to save oppressed peoples, I personally feel glad that the USA was able to help out in those matters. I feel our part in the war was justified when it came to stopping multiple genocides. Many people also feel this way, and hold WWII up as this bastion of ‘justified’ wars. Many feel it’s okay that Americans went to Germany and Japan and started killing people, because they were doing it first.

Same thing with alien invasion storylines. I love Steve, but the only person he is MCU-canonically pursuing rehabilitation for is Bucky. He has different values as both a survivor of WWII, a witness to the explosive growth of fascism in the early 1900s, and a white man. Sure, Steve grew up disabled and Irish(-American) in the early 1900s, but he was also a blue eyed blond haired American man who shows no trace of an Irish identity on screen. Steve is a hopeful, principled and angry man.

Meanwhile, Sam grew up being othered as a Black child and then man, joined a war that was never justifiable (never confirmed what war he was in but no war the USA has perpetuated in the 2000s, if not even earlier, has been justifiable), and then continually had to be an examplar wherever he went. Except for possibly War Machine (I’m not sure where he fits in), Sam was the ONLY Avenger of Color. Ever. (And the only one from a more rural area)

And yet Sam always chooses hope and kindness. He has it rough - as the only Avenger of Color, he had to always choose others needs over his own. He and Isaiah Bradley (another person restored by Sam’s rehabilitative justice <3) discuss the weight of that. Bradley points out time and time again that Sam doesn’t owe the world his kindness, his willingness to be a hero, his health and well-being. After all, Bradley got fucked over for doing the right thing, a Steve-type thing, in a Black body. But Sam decides to push on anyway.

I’m not saying Sam isn’t angry. He deserves to feel angry, he has as much right to the emotion as any other human being. But every single goddamn time he can, he chooses to be kind. He chooses to believe that people can find worth again. And that takes a strength of will that is frankly insane. PLUS he does it without a consistently optimized body.

And he chooses to be kind to Ross, of all people. Ross, who is clearly trying to be a changed man in the events of the film - but still a man who imprisons innocents and whose first instinct is to pick fights with nations who own nuclear weapons.

But Sam still reaches out to him. Still helps Ross meet Betty while Ross is in prison. Is the better man, every goddamn time.

Hell, they even represent what changes Sam could herald for the fate of the United States, and even the world, visually. In Ross’s panic as the Red Hulk, he destroys the White House*, a symbol built by slave labor. And under Sam’s tenure as Captain America, it will be rebuilt - along with what a hopefully better United States of America.

I love Sam Wilson, and I am SO excited to see his future as Captain America.

*and possibly also the Washington Memorial? I know he goes by but the detail slipped my mind. It also was built with slave labor. Some might quibble and try to claim that the obelisk was built by skilled stonemasons, but many many many enslaved people were extremely skilled laborers. So there is a huge chance that the stonemasons were enslaved. And even if they used completely white/free Black stonemasons, the quarried stone was mined by enslaved people. So yes, it was built by slave labor.

(Also I think it’s cool that Sam’s getting his own villains like Serpent and Leila Taylor made an appearance? She was basically his only canon love interest EVER**, and she hasn’t appeared since the 1970s. I think it’s still possible that he might be given a male LI or they just never pursue that angle of the character, but at least she and Sam have a relationship built on at least some respect and personal chemistry. Unlike Steven and Sharon.

Personally I’m more of a fan of Samsteve or even SamJoaquin than SamBucky, but that’s just mostly because while he’s grown on me in the last few years, I’m not really a Bucky fan. Samsteve probably won’t happen because of the stupid time travel thing (though who’s to say they didn’t at least have a fling? Plz?) but SamJoaquin could happen! I wasn’t sold on Joaquin right away - his sunny personality was tripping my betrayal alarms in my movie expectations brain - but I am glad to be wrong. I’m excited to see him as Falcon again once he heals up!

**There was a werewolf princess lady? But she literally never came back. Which disappoints me because I thought she was funny (I read her issue) and really unique. She was human but had a device to specifically control werewolves? And they do exist in the MCU, thanks to Werewolf by Night…

I LOVED the dogfight scene. Great body work on Anthony Mackie’s part, interesting background, awesome moves (cutting through a plane with a wing? Punching and pulling a pilot out of their plane and letting the rest of it just fall?? Sam and Joaquin together???) and fucking BOMBSURFING

[broareweabouttoviberightnow]

asking about your next to normal analysis 💃💃

my love. I need you to know I got so goddamn excited when I saw this ask I had to do a lap around the room. ok lots n lots n lots of spoilers under the cut so. beware.

I'm gonna break this down into chunks so I can make sense of it more AGH!!

ok let's start strong: The Son n Diane

the hauntin of the narrative. the manifestation of neglect. of guilt. of greif. he is not inherently evil. or good. he is. in his own words. what has been n what will be. he is somethin different to each character. to Diane he is a manifestation of her own grief n mental illness. 'ill hurt you/ ill heal you' he is the thing that Made Her What She Is. the moment he was born her life changed forever. the day he died is the day she would never be the same. he was unplanned. God they'll never admit it but maybe he was unwanted. but who Diane could have been died the day her baby was born. but God she loved him so much did that matter? his ghost is simply the form her grief takes. her mental illness tells her she deserves to suffer n her grief tells her his death was her fault so his ghost tells her to dump her pills. to go fallin. to let herself go. to deny treatment. but The Son Is Never The Antagonist. Diane's mental illness is.

The Son n Dan

To Dan he is simply grief. he is blamin himself. he's resentment n shame n all the loss that comes with knowin who you once were. who the woman you loved once was. n knowin you can never get back to that. n no one is to blame for that. he tries to forget his son. he won't name him. to try to move on. the same way his wife clings to him. 'until you name me/ you can't tame me' he can't grapple with the truth of their life until he admits the loss of their son n how that affects him

The Son n Natalie

He represents a shadow she will constantly live in. The boy who never lived long enough to make a single mistake. who torments her parents n haunts their home. who haunts her too. overshadows her. 'he's a hero a lover a prince/ she's not there' 'he's immortal forever alive/ then there's me' but her relationship with his memory is. complicated. their last interaction almost. tender. tho ultimately it is her helpin her father let go of his memory. she may have loved him. if he had lived. maybe they would have played together. maybe he would have taught her to drive. or they would have played together. there's a lifetime in that last touch. but death has made her resentful of his memory. n she won't be her mother. she won't indulge in what would have been.

The Son n himself.

I have so much more to say but I'm barely bein coherent n this post is gonna flop so bad which is chill cause this is mostly about me tweakin out but BASICALLY tldr

now this. my god this fucks me up. he is a child. he wants his mother's love. he doesn't want to be forgotten. he can't go back to the grave. he loves her. God he loves her so much. n he would kill her to keep her. however. he's not one character. he is not a parasite or a villain. he is a metaphor. n he changes as he interacts person to person n absorbs the manifestation of their relationship with guilt.
