i struggle a lot with deviating from the original design when doing fanart because i fear the character won't be recognisable anymore if i dare change the colours here and there

i think its a damn shame since i see all the cool spins on character designs and think "man, i could do that"

so here's my two little thinkin pieces on me, yknow, doing that, with alastor :)

i might actually make the final one into like... a thing??? but don't count on it, my attention span is abysmal.

#hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel fanart #alastor the radio demon #hazbin alastor #hazbin hotel alastor #alastor #my art #digital art #the 'hate it' above the second version refers to me hating that particular version not the features or clothes i used in it #i simply hate how it came together #i could theoretically also be persuaded into drawing this version shirtless #theoretically #at least a few people would have to very enthusiastically want it #i am too scared to put a number on it else the number be fulfilled and i be pressured #anyway like how it turned out #im thinkin hes kinda like mimzy as in he looks basically like before he died with a few notable changes in a) colour pallette #b) aditional physical features and c) changed physical features #like im imaginin other than his teeth bein sharper and mouth wider its his jaw too #its longer its sharper it was made to only smile #his nose a bit too thin much like the rest of him #yknow cool shit like that #(had to end my near book like description silly else it would make it seem like god forbid im a more serious person)

i love that little moment in episode 14 where utena offers her hand to anthy and says "let's go home" after they visit akio

#it's not really much of anything i know but the implication that they just. hold hands when they go places together makes me smile #handholding motif. very important #and also “let's go home” being used by utena at the end of episode 12 as well. i don't remember if she ever refers to the tower as “home”..#utena and anthy #m

Musical Touken Ranbu: Tsuwamonodomo ga Yume no Ato english sub

A passion project if there's ever been one, it's been a longstanding want of mine to finally do this! Needless to say, Tsuwamono and everything it meant is still my favourite plot from Toumyu! I love its character-driven and intricate writing, its heartrending acting choices, as well as the way it invites one to think about what characters think and why, and why they do or don't (dare to) do the things they do.

However, another important reason that I'm letting myself indulge in this, is that recent Toumyu has taken a turn away from this plot, changing the way how Mikazuki is framed, tying different characters to themes that were tied to Kogitsunemaru, and put those characters into roles that would originally have been most natural for Kogitsunemaru to follow.

In that light, then, I hope that these subtitles will allow you to see, even if it's just the smallest sliver, what I loved in Toumyu's take of Kogi and Mika up to and including Kotobuki. To see that it was beautiful. Because I think it was. 💙💛🌙🦊

Keep in mind that the files in the folder below are only the subtitle files, timed and tled to the blu-ray and DMM senshuuraku distribution. The folder also includes a pdf with translation notes, some background information where I felt it would add, and just a little bit of eager gushing about the references made.

You can find the folder with all the aforementioned files here!

Please enjoy, even if it's just with me in your thoughts.

#touken ranbu #tsuwamonodomo ga yume no ato #toumyu #Water's translations #tsuwamono #Kogitsunemaru #Mikazuki Munechika #we're joining with sute's timeline in which Kogi (may as well have) never existed hahahaha (pain)#but let's put that aside and enjoy Tsuwamono for the beauty it is #I love tsuwamono and translating it has only made me love it more #the references to Kokaji in the starting song were much more intricate than I expected #and I believe the way Basho's haikus are incorporated is smart!#the many things Tsuwamono slyly implies about its worldbuilding are so so so so nice #and also the question of what it means to exist and to be remembered!#that things are never black and white and that even the people you fear may be hurt or will not understand may be different from how you se #and that (I think this is very nice about tsuwa) people make mistakes and make *choices* and that that's what makes them human #I very gently gesture at Mikazuki #I love how he's characterised and how Kuroba conveys that characterisation #He envies shadows and betrays his own advice and cannot lay the finishing blow #he forces smiles. His kindness sways his heart again and again to stab himself with it. He fights a futile battle. He tries anyway.#He lies- He fears- He doesn't speak-- in understandable fear of the devastation he may cause if his words reached the ears of those he love #He would rather risk breaking.#Mikazuki is such a complex and deafeningly HUMAN character and I love that painfully kind and undeniably human portrayal of him so much #and though a certain contrast with Mikazuki is a vital part of the way Kogitsunemaru enters the paintwork here it is ultimately the fact #that he was never black and white- that he ever sees the bigger picture ironically just as Mika said- that allows him to understand #even if with his own personal feelings and his discipline he can't follow the same road #this in deep contrast to Hizamaru- who would not even have hesitated or felt reluctant or even had to battle his feelings had he found out #and I think the relief of having someone dear to confide in- that's emphasized twice with Iwa in the myu- in the form of Kogi #is something that (up to TKO) would and should have meant the world to Mikazuki #that his unwillingness to follow the same path could much too naturally still have meant he could have supported Mikazuki in other ways

Oh wow people were not exaggerating about Kim and the protagonist (that I just now discovered is named Harry) they are fucking adorable together

#i just dedicated my sad karaoke song to him and he smiled at me #its kind of weird shipping the playable character #because im the one choosing the actuons there #so i usually just refer to it in first person #put myself in the characters place #its usually the intention its pretty normal to do this #but then when this character has personality of their own and a great dinamic with another character and you ship them really hard #it gets weird to say things like 'oh i love when i make kim smile at me!'#it gives mu brain a pause 'no wait #'not at ME me! at Harry'#disco elysium #kim kitsuragi #harry de bois

Tuvok & Seven of Nine should have been overbearing co-parents to the borg children

#non romantic co-parents and they won't even admit they're friends (they don't have* friends! they don't need friends!)#star trek voyager #they are organizing a joint schedule they have a shared space google doc #Seven of Nine #Tuvok #They are both overbearing in different ways <3 #I think Tuvok is an excellent father and also that he would not be able to parent every child effectively - especially non Vulcans #Meanwhile Seven is like 'Children are basically little employees I have to train yes?'#Chakotay: You're not going to be raising this children...alone. will you??#Seven: Of course not. / Chakotay: Thank G- / Seven: Commander Tuvok will assist me.#Chakotay: -the most forced smile ever- o h h........#*spoiler: They're very good friends #I think Tuvok would want them to be better behaved than they are but know that children are unpredictable to a degree and they've #been through a lot meanwhile Seven really has no reference for what children are supposed to be do and act like #besides. Seven doesn't need to be a mother. She's like twenty something and newly independent - she should have been at the club instead of #performing femininity so she could be a ''''''real woman''''''#Stop making female characters mothers.......its enough.#None of the VOY women should have been mothers. Maybe Kes - she seemed like she maybe wanted kids. I could see Kes being a good mom #down the line (not in Elogium I liked that episode and its ending) but none of the rest of them needed #or seemed to particularly want that

deep in the kingdom hearts trenches..

#beep boop you want fries with that #kingdom hearts #vexen #lexaeus #riku #ansem #i wanna draw lexaeus more but HIS HAIR IS GD NIGHTMARE #on the topic of lexaeus ik he doesnt raise his voice often but i made him do it for the bit. can you forgive me #btw vexen owes like. 50000 munny.#ALSO. riku-ansem. i liek in kh1 when ansem acts liek a gd FREAK in his body like sir WHAT ArE YOU DOING.#he does the exact same mannerisms and everything liek wooahh i love the attention to detail in kh and kh1 specifically.#guys did you know it took ppl many years to realize you can freeze the stove in trickmasters fight to make it easier wooaaahh #unfortunately riku-ansem in kh2 doesnt really have riku’s mannerisms reflected in ansem’s body which. sads #that wouldve been cutes.#the only time i cant think of that happening was when riku appeared hooded in front of sora in the mulan world #teh little gesture he does. and sora is liek. that must be him the only guy who does that is riku #but liek. the gesture is cute and awesome but riku’s expressions dont show up on ansem’s face sadly.#if you think he did then you are probably thinking of the manga. or theres a scene i havent seen yet #bc my kh2 knowledge is sloppy (LOL DAYS REFERENCE) due to me not having played the game when i was young #i only wwatched a cutscene comp when i was little #and memes. lots of meme videos #also hey can we all look at riku’s deranged smile when he was going to hit sora with the keyblade of the heart #FRANKLY ADORABLE.

i know you say youre not a rp acc and not kin, but i wanted to ask, your art of medic, are you depicting yourself? should i refer to medic in your art as you? example "i love how you drew yourself in this"? idkk i dont wanna poke around but i wanted to be sure im referring to you correctly??

this is a good question, just one that im not sure i will ever be able to give a satisfying answer to. i did answer something similar here that im definitely not an rp account but im neutral on kinning, because the term seems so broad that i cant say for certain if thats whats going on. maybe! or maybe not! hmm and then my art of medic.. yes it is depicting myself. but i also recognize that medic is a fictional character, so it doesnt bother me if people refer to medic as medic! im just drawing him, it doesnt have to be more complicated than that. if that makes sense. its all one in the same to me so it doesnt matter and you dont have to worry about it :]€
