Nightlight!

been going down a rabbit hole of golden age fics and this is my take on the nightlight design tee hee (I love him with all my heart and soul)

also it’s my personal head canon that nightlight was a past life of Jack’s and can access his star boy powers in life/death situations?? Idk but wouldn’t that make a cool future scene where jack can access past PAST lives’ memories and just see his cool space protector self like

anyway I love him bye

[purblzart]

I got the chance to make the header for @rotg-halloween which is organised by the amazing @sylphidine <33 make sure to check out this years prompts and have fun creating!!!!!!!

I would love to see more Bunnymund! Either being protective or dominant in bed, either is fine🫣

I don’t have any particular ships with Bunnymund (I find the idea of some of them rlly cute tho) but I do love the idea of a character curled up against him where he could hold and protect them ♡ also i really gotta get better at drawing furries lol

YOUR FLICKORY SENT ME INTO A GAY PANIC I LOVE IT especially your human designs omg

tHENK U!!!! i do like the human designs i came up with~

I've been going NUTS about Flickory lately. These Two. Compel me. These two who do not even share screen time.... that's where the heck it's at for me, apparently.

i do have one other human drawin on hand for ya (onesided tho it may be)

rise of the guardians thoughts

Because we needed more of those from me right lol

Anyway-

The timing of Jack being selected to be a Guardian is really interesting.

Because in movie canon, the other Guardians came together during the dark ages, right? And they needed to protect things that were being lost to children of that era due to fear and despair: wonder, hope, dreams, important memories.

But Jack. Jack becomes a Guardian in the modern era.

The implication is that modern kids are losing their grip on fun. There's fear and despair inflicted on the young generations of today, by school, mental illness, and the constant barrage of information and guilt on the Internet putting the weight to save the world on them while they're still powerless to do anything about it. Even when people try to aim that guilt exclusively at adults (which a lot of media doesn't!), kids tend to try to feel in control of bad things happening around them by assuming they're their own fault. If they can blame themselves for divorce and abuse, why not world disasters?

And when hope isn't enough anymore, when good memories are formed less and less, when the wonder and magic are stripped from a child's world, where do they have left to escape fear and despair?

Fun.

And I think that's why Jack was chosen when he was.

And it could be so easy to make that connection and let your hope for the world slip, but that's not the point of Rise of the Guardians.

The point is that actually, taking fear and despair too seriously, even when you're the one/ones fighting it- letting it consume your thoughts and time... doesn't do anyone any good.

Sometimes you need to fight it by being lighthearted in spite of the world.

I think that's why it's remained such a comfort movie for the generation it was made in. We see ourselves in these more or less helpless kids, struggling against a constant storm of fear and darkness, and this movie finds a way to pull that innocence and lightheartedness out of us again. It's comforting to feel like there's defenses and barriers against despair that will never truly go away, even just for a moment.

Some days a Guardian meeting is just an excuse to pause work and crash.

Luckily there’s never a shortage of pillows at Sandy’s ship.

Bring us a dream ✨

[sboochi]

New batch of dnd-inspired art! They already look like an rpg party so working on these was fun. Thanks to everyone who suggested classes (and archetypes! I've neglected those in the past), here's what I chose:

Pitch is a sorcerer (Shadow Magic), Sandy is a druid (Circle of Dreams, he’s got some hybernation-thing going on), North is a barbarian (Path of the Ancestral Guardian), Tooth is a ranger (Swarmkeeper) and Bunny is a monk (Way of the Kensei)

(Plus Jack as an Arcane Trickster rogue but I drew him two years ago)

[carrie-tate]

I have some period of memories. Because I'm interested in rotg fandom again

And interested that much so that I decided to make art from this sketch
