i am sooo thematically consistent actually lmfao

My final contribution to Repostober 2024 :) Loose "redraw" of this sketch that I posted last year. Scan and words below the break.

I know the phrase "rewired my brain" gets thrown around a lot in fandom but I honest-to-God think Ghost Channel really did it. If it's not THE formative thing in my taste for horror, it imprinted pretty damn hard on my little babby brain. To this day, the memory of watching it for the first time stands out as my earliest experience where I've needed to pick my jaw off the floor and then marinate for a bit.

For those not in the know, Ghost Channel is an episode late into season one of Code: Lyoko. It is freely available to watch online, but if you're even a little interested in watching it, I highly recommend watching it in sequence, despite the episodic nature of S1.

Original scan, from 2009ish:

I'm sure I've mentioned it, but before I realized the importance of archiving my art I threw away virtually everything I had relating to CL >___< Later, I thought it might be fun to redraw some pillars from my childhood fandoms and this sketch happened. I've posted a few things for Repostober so far that were products of this same effort.

Reinterpreting this in 2024 was a challenge. My taste in horror hasn't changed much over the years, but the way I enjoy it definitely has. The 2009 scan reads as an in-your-face tribute to the episode (to me, at least), but these days I'm a much, MUCH bigger fan of subtlety and the power of implication. Redrawing it 1:1 bugged me a little since I didn't feel it'd meet my current standards or do the episode justice. I'm a firm believer in "less is more" so I spent a loootttt of time grappling with a good 'redraw' that 2024 me would accept while still passing as... well... a redraw xD I suppose it is still conceptually the same.

Jeremie is easily my favorite in the CL gang which definitely has nothing to do with the fact that I seem to have a proven history of latching onto the prodigal child with glasses and I've always found it crazy poetic that one of the only (or maybe the only?) big bad's true manifestations in the show is in his image. Something something thematic parallels, you love to see it >:) CL already has this habit of depicting shit that I would normally attribute to the modus operandi of a supernatural, demonic force so of COURSE I was gonna get in on this LMAO

Unfortunately, unless I find a hidden stash of old CL fanart somewhere... or enough time passes for me to draw this again... this is probably my last CL art for a while </3

On a more technical note for as much time as I gave myself for this I really popped off, especially on the background o___o Code Lyoko BG art goes super hard in general though, I don't think I would have settled for anything less. Had tons of fun with the VHS effects, learned lots of new little tricks to distort images for future projects.

Also this piece is called "ENDKAMPF" in my files lol

I just realized I never posted this piece back from April??? Anyways Odd having braces and earrings is REAL to me

More Umbra dream queue - I dreamt I was in a TTRPG that was at least very evocative of Code Lyoko, and my friend @thebibliomancer was the GM, and he made a meme of my character? Wacky stuff.  (PS it is thebibliomancer's birthday wish him a happy birthday)

The Code Lyoko Episode Showdown is taking a brief hiatus!

Just as the title says: we're taking a break from the polls for the time being! The holidays are fast approaching and I'm going to be busy with a bunch of things during it, so I'd like one less thing on my plate for the time being (even with as little effort as these posts take, I don't want to have to worry about getting them out on time)

Don't fret too much! The polls will resume some time in mid January with the beginning of season 3's bracket. As a special holiday treat, I'll post the bracket for season 3 in the next few weeks so you can see what's coming up with that. It'll be shorter than the others so far, but I'm sure season 4's will make up it.

Will this pause affect the out of context clips?

Nope! Clips are queued up far in advance so they're all ready to go going into the new year. There will be no interruptions on that front unless the queue itself breaks (which, this is tumblr, so anything is possible). But provided that doesn't happen, everything should be on track as normal.

With all of that said, I hope you all have a happy holidays! See you in new year for all the polls to come!

The more I learn about Miraculous Ladybug and rewatch Code Lyoko, the more I am convinced that a Miraculous was gutted, ripped apart, and digitized to make the source code of XANA. It would explain their bizarre abilities to manipulate the weather, and why they became capable of controlling people.

Insect type miraculous - XANA's a bug in the system ^.^

Look.Listen.Listen.

Aelita having the nickname "princess" was something I never paid attention to until my most recend rewatch of the show but.

She is the princess of Lyoko.

Her father is the creator of Lyoko,meaning that he is the King of it...or was the king of it until XANA took over.

So that makes Aelita the Princess of Lyoko.

Meaning that since Franz died...that makes Aelita the rightful Queen of Lyoko.

A timeskip fic where the adult character acknowledge this and refer to Aelita as Queen.

[code-aeyeeta]

apparently i AM making a series of posts of the cl kids getting actual jobs. next up is aelita and odd. theyre together because

odd tells everyone he got a job. he doesnt even tell anyone what job he has, what it involves, or where it is until later.

odd: GUESS WHAT GUYS

yumi: what? 

odd: GUESS WHO IS THE DAIRY QUEEN

yumi: what are you talking about

odd: im the manager of dairy queen. i have the tiara and everything. the british royal family is jealous 

aelita isnt really even thinking about getting a job and thought if she did get a job itd be in a music store or something

she needs extra cash for something but doesnt know how to get a job so quickly

odd gets her the job by the next day

dairy queen is actually really fun to work at. lots of little kids who just want ice cream. its a nice distraction!

because odd and aelita are working together its kind of ridiculous 

aelita, whispering as she makes someone their blizzard: it must be so cold

odd: they need little jackets

the kid waiting for their ice cream: why would food need a jacket

they get discounts on blizzards sometimes and aelita LOVES trying new flavors

aelita: odd try this one i combined all the ingredients in the store

odd, with a triple brain freeze: hand it over youre a genius 

odd throws up later while aelita is perfectly fine 

odd is the manager. hes the manager

odd: do it quicker we have so many customers!!

aelita: we have 3 customers odd. chill out we’re not in the army 

odd: one looks like an angry grandma please hurry up aelita 

they actually take their work seriously but its fun to work with your friend. it makes it less of a chore 

other exchanges:

odd: so im the dairy queen and aelita is the dairy princess. jeremie are you gonna join us as the dairy prince

jeremie: ive been thinking about getting a job but i dont think im gonna work at dairy queen.

ulrich: what about burger king

odd: JEREMIE NO

jeremie: yeah that sounds like a solid plan

yumi: would you mind if i joined you

odd: me and aelita vs. jeremie and yumi. who has the right to the throne

aelita: whats going on i was brushing my teeth 

ulrich, yumi, jeremie, william

I know code lyoko evolution wasn't everyone's favorite, but you got to admit that it was aesthetically pleasing especially the live action scenes.

The little Glenn and Patton accidental cast reunion-crossover-meeting-moment-whatever-thing picture from SXSW23 is like the 4th or 5th sign I've received from the universe to start AP Bio posting... And when I say AP Bio, I think we all know I mostly mean Jack Griffin gifs and behind-the-scenes glontent.

The first few signs were all the recent posts by @mcdens, @kod-lyoko, @literatigeek and so on, so what I'm saying is that it's really your fault for reinfecting me with Jack Griffin brain.

(But if we're being even more honest, it's probably the extended Sunny hiatus getting to us all, and with a fortnight still to go, I guess it would not be wholly inaccurate of us to pin the sole blame on RCG+. But I'm still blaming you guys too.)

Warning: my queue is very Jack heavy this weekend.

[nykloss]

My queue is mostly just me playing god and doing necromancy on decade old posts that haven't seen interaction in years

*puts a post from 11 years ago into my queue* you haven’t seen the last of this website yet, dammit
