#ruby the clone

[agent-jaselin]

For this inktober (well, inkvember) I’m using my oc Ruby! He’s a clone of Ardyn, whose still a child. Think like what Prompto is to Verstael, except raised in a lab til he was rescued. 

first prompt is Gargoyle! So I went the Disney route XD. Only remembered there were lab made gargoyles he could have been after I finished it.

Ruby weapon/pokemon verse:

In Verstael’s old lab Ruby was well behaved and almost statue like during experiments and exams, afraid of what worse things he could do him.

In Lysandre and Flare’s labs, Ruby is less afraid. He has a name and a patron in his new “father”, so now he asks for breaks, and isn’t afraid to cause trouble when he’s irritable or over extended.

He’s also not afraid to test out what his magic can do on it’s own, so now it grows by leaps and bounds. Especially his skill to make potions and elixirs, as he makes a habit of sneaking into Flare headquarters and changing every drink he can reach. Most of the time the affects are positive, though you might be a little high after. But sometimes he messes up and you end up with powerful laxatives or drinks that sap your energy out like a leech.

If he’s in a bad enough mood with you, he’ll do it on purpose.

Ruby: If a girl is interested in me, I'm not gonna ignore it!

Weiss: *blushing* Ruby, I... I want you.

Ruby: Want me to what?

Weiss: I uh, um.

Ruby: Forgot what you were gonna say? It happens to me all the time, don't worry!

Canadian Cartoons Are Great

Today, the popular cartoon YouTuber Saberspark uploaded a video talking about the infamous “fart episode” of the 2023 Total Drama series. The comments were filled with hatred and generalizations towards Canadian animation. These terrible comments are not the fault of Saberspark, but it is true that the “big users” in the cartoon community are (mostly) Americans who spread myths and stereotypes about Canadian cartoons. This has bothered me and a few others for quite a while, so here, I’m going to prove why Canadian animation is great, actually, and dispel common misconceptions

All Canadian cartoons are about fart jokes - if you say stuff like this, you clearly have never seen a Canadian cartoon outside of Total Drama and Johnny Test. That’s like if I said “all anime is naughty tentacles” or “all American cartoons are about anvils falling on your head.” And don’t act like your precious USA cartoons and anime are exempt from toilet humor. One example of an anime with toilet humor is Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt - their first episode was about a monster made out of shit. And we all know about the gross out cartoons such as Ren and Stimpy.

Canadian cartoons are cheaply mass-produced because of CanCon - No. What CanCon ACTUALLY states is that a certain percentage of content on a Canadian channel has to be Canadian-made. The policy is about supporting Canadian art, not “mass-producing” cartoons, since this applies to ALL Canadian TV and radio content, animated or otherwise.

Now, let me tell you some reasons why Canadian animation is actually great

Some of your childhood shows, such as Arthur, Franklin, and Little Bear are Canadian in origin.

Some of the most acclaimed cartoons within the cartoon community, such as Ed Edd n Eddy and MLP:FIM, were both animated in Canada and had voice actors from there (same talent pool, in fact - Vancouver)

Inspector Gadget and the Beetlejuice animated series helped keep good animation afloat during the 80s. In a decade full of uninspired and insipid cartoons, these were two of the highlights.

Canada is still a great place to outsource animation, as proven with the works of Nelvana, Mercury Filmworks, Jam Filled, and countless others.

If you grew up without cable, you probably watched PBS Kids and/or Qubo a lot. Guess what - lots of the shows on both of those channels were Canadian. For example: the PBS Kids Bookworm Bunch: Timothy Goes to School, Seven Little Monsters, Marvin the Tap-Dancing Horse - these shows are all Canadian! Qubo was also home to Jane and the Dragon, Jacob Two Two, Babar, Spliced, etc - they’re all Canadian too.

Because Canada’s censors are far more lax compared to American ones, Canada has made huge strides in teen and adult animation. Such shows include Total Drama, 6teen, Detentionaire, Undergrads, Producing Parker, etc as well as the movie Heavy Metal.

Also because of the lax censors, Canadian cartoons had positive LGBTQ representation far before the United States did. One episode of 6teen has a character stating “I’m gay,” and in Braceface, the main character assists her gay friend in finding a boyfriend. Unsurprisingly, these episodes never aired in the US.

6teen also dealt with periods before Turning Red, Baymax, and Molly McGee did it (again, the episode was banned in the US).

Finally, here are a few Canadian cartoons I recommend, and where to watch them:

Cybersix (it was a Canadian and Japanese co-production). The whole thing is on TMS’ YouTube channel.

Redwall is on Pluto, and there are episodes of it on YouTube courtesy of Treehouse Direct

Toad Patrol (unfortunately you’re gonna have to resort to low quality YouTube uploads)

Silverwing - again, the complete series is on YouTube

Detentionaire- On Tubi and Pluto!

Ruby Gloom is a great show if you like cute gothic stuff; it too is on Tubi and Pluto

The Adventures of Sam and Max: Freelance Police - on Tubi

One of my favorites, The Raccoons. Basically the Canadian equivalent to The Simpsons, and with a banger ending song. The show’s production company has uploaded episodes of it for free on YouTube.

The original Clone High was animated by the legendary Nelvana (if you’re wondering, the new season is not outsourced to Canada 😔) It is on Paramount Plus and HBO Max

Undergrads - yet again on YouTube, in low quality unfortunately. Like Clone High, it was on MTV.

I also recommend watching some short films from the National Film Board of Canada. My personal favorite is the Log Driver’s Waltz.

Tl;dr - American cartoons are not bad because of Allen Gregory, anime is not bad because of Pupa, and Canadian cartoons are not bad because of Johnny Test or fart jokes.

ruby doesn't not look correct but oh well. Think its the face spacing XD

Anyway, drawing my clone/human experiment Ruby with @malacandrax 's Kidstarion au because every time I see mini-starion his fluffiness reminds me of Ruby's fluffiness.

Just imagining Astarion finding newly escaped from the Lab Ruby wandering around the woods and bringing him home like a stray pet. and than Gale and Halsin both getting a horror story in the form of hearing about the six year old's awful life up until then.

Ozpin: Stop fidgeting, dear! Can't you see I'm wearing a SWEATER VEST?

Ruby: (Drinking liquified dust)

Ozpin: Ms. Polendina, you're her friend. What's her deal?

Penny: Short attention span, hyperactivity, impulsiveness... Penny: I will run a scan using my internal computer. Penny: Beepbeepboop Beepbeepboop Beepboop Beepboop Beepbeepboop Beepebeepboop Boop Boop Beepbeepboop Beepbeepboob Boopboopbeepbeep Brrr Brrr Beepbeepboop Brrr Boopboop... Beepbeepbeepboop!

Penny: Negative. It is A-D-D, attention deficit disorder. You also likely have it's hyperactive cousin, A-D-H-D, attention hyperactivity deficit disorder.

Ruby: Oh... Wow... I... I need a minute to think about this.

Ruby: (Standing at the window, Quiet)

Rereading the Ice Planet Barbarians series by Ruby Dixon and had to do some fan art ^^ Didn't have a specific couple in mind, but it's kind of reminding me of Sam and Sessah or Elly and Bek. 

[natashas-little-belle]

in regards to ice planet barbarians @ixchel-sketch said something along the lines of “all the girls share stephanie myers singular braincell when it comes to naming their kids” has me feeling so heard! the moment they started mashing their names together i went “not a bunch of renesmes’ 🧍🏻‍♀️” like i thought we learned out lesson 🥲

shout out to nora for being like “fuck it im naming my girls after the frozen sisters” like AS YOU SHOULD GIRL, as you should 😌🤚🏻
