moby vs. your muse, probably. 👀

friendly reminder and fyi to anybody who might want to argue their muse is stronger than moby, on account of ‘oh! my muse has superhuman strength and senses and fast reflexes!’ and etc...

so does moby.

she is, as i’m developing her, a deity in the making, edging closer and closer to that level tier. she will continue to evolve, pushing the limits of her abilities further and further as she ages and grows into adulthood, as well as she continues to practice and explore what she is capable of at present time.

but she is powerful, even without them. she is the best parts of both of her parents and was raised in a household where all her mother and father knew for most of their lives was to fight. fight, fight, fight, whether it was to terrorize for fun, to kill on command, to protect what they had, or to survive so they could live another day. one of her three uncles is also ex-military where he’s from, and another one studied for years at one of her planet’s most renowned dojos-- the same dojo whose students taught her mother, too. all of these people have had a big impact on her upbringing, making sure she would be able to thrive in her environment once she stepped out of their corner of the world and into a greater civilization. and she did.

moby knows martial arts. she also knows anatomy like nobody’s business, knows pressure points and where it’ll hurt the most and what will kill you the fastest. coming from a planet where werewolves, vampires, and other supernatural creatures are common, she is also privvy to most of these species’ most generic weaknesses (since specific disadvantages do vary across breed and can be a mountain of information impossible to access).

she is also strong. moby has a toned musculature. she has a toned back and a toned stomach, thick strong thighs and she has noticeably toned arms with a light bulk built for strength. even casting that aside, she’s a creature crafted from the strengths of a hellish demon that was once a metahuman and a centuries old shapeshifter bred from a long, pure line of its own kind. she has supernatural, superhuman strength meaning dense muscle fibers and dense bone with plenty of resilience and durability to her. she can rip the roof off a car like its a cardboard panel and hoist the front of a van from the ground with her bare hands. she can crush a human skull in her palms or with a couple easy blows and rip a limb straight out of its socket. her teeth can cut and grind bone and her claws can shear flesh like its paper.

admittedly, moby is not super fast-- she cannot get from point a to point b in some invisible sprint unseen by the normal eye and she can’t dodge a bullet point blank. but, she can miss arrows, she can catch them at a reasonable distance, and has been trained to anticipate an opponent’s moves in close combat, as well as how to deflect them and defend herself, all while carrying plenty of power to end things easily if she finds herself face to face with something human.

this is NOT considering moby can increase her bone density or the density and size of her musculature if she needs to, assuming she’s fed well enough that day to last her long enough to win a battle. this is not considering moby can grow several times her size, can become one of thousands of creatures or a myriad of many. and this is not considering that soon, she will also be capable of shifting into a swarm with a floating conscientiousness like a hive mind, and via a very similar method, be able to break down and even multiply (to a limit) into a particle-like mass that can be very, very dangerous.

to top it off, she is also extremely hard to kill with only a few surefire ways to either finish her off for good or incapacitate her long enough to make her far less threatening. and, yes: for those of you who have ever looked at a shapeshifting character -not a werewolf or werecat, but a true shapeshifting species that can change form and size- and wondered... “wowie, couldn’t they just... idk, turn into like, a fly or some tiny animal, crawl inside someone and blow them up from the inside by turning big again??” YES, moby can do that. and yes, she would and has done it before. roleplay etiquette is the only thing stopping her because i don’t want to be a dick but is it totally within her character? yep.

basically, is moby over powered? i guess you could say so. is that a problem? it shouldn’t be. i’ve been developing her every day with a lot of things being taken into consideration, debating this and that, and not only that, but a lot of other muses are overpowered. it’s the way they were built and few ever make that a problem if it’s a canon character. just because this is an oc shouldn’t be any different, because i’ve noticed a trend time and time again that although tumblr asks and begs for stronger women, muscled women, women that can kick ass and conquer civilizations or bring a man to his knees, almost nobody can look at let’s say my muse (and some other female muses, i’ve noticed), and just freaking say without argument, “yeah, your muse can kick mine’s ass.” it’s always gotta be some pissing contest. well, after being told over and over even BEFORE i made moby (with my other muses, especially her mom) that my muse is the weaker one? that they’ve gotta submit to some other muse for this and this reason?? (and believe it or not, sometimes it’s an ooc reason!) i’m saying nope. not this time. only a few blogs i’m following have a muse that can defeat moby WITHOUT utilizing one of the surefire ways to kill her (this is NOT me saying there aren’t at least a dozen others that can’t go toe to toe with her though bc there are PLENTY).

but, yeah. if you’ve actually read all this and have an issue with it, or want to fight me on anything i’ve said then, honestly? i don’t want to hear it. feel free to unfollow me. especially if you have a bad issue with the possibility my muse is stronger than yours. i’m just really tired of this having to be a thing so i’m coming right out and saying it all. also: if you aren’t sure and wanna know if your muse is one of the ones i said could defeat moby on a typical day, then let me know as long as you aren’t gonna be mean about what the answer may or may not be. i otherwise don’t mind talking about it.

i forgot the password for this blog so i didn’t use it for months and now i have to catch up on everything AAAAA. i won’t post everything i drew since i last posted regularly here, so here’s just a quick overview of everything i did in 2020

january- i can’t remember if there was much good artwork, but this is a(n admittedly unfinished) photostudy! look at me drawing something that’s NOT an oc portrait.

february- clearly i learned nothing bc it’s straight back to oc art

march- started working on a picrew, never finished it, probably never will—but it was fun while it lasted

april- probably the peak of art here. a photostudy that i’m still v v proud of

may- finished my first-ever webcomic for my senior project! i’m too afraid of cringing to look back at it and read it again, but i remember being proud of it at the time, which is what matters

june- another comic! this was a short one-page character/story exploration that i never expanded on lmao

july- drew an oc’s bedroom. after taking a perspective class later in the year, i can look back and see all the flaws lmao...but it was good practice at the time. and not an oc portrait, thank god

august- another comic! this was Yet Another one page character exploration. rather than plan out the panels from the beginning, i started by drawing out specific imagery, then fit them together in ways that matched the vibe™. it was an interesting way of making a comic and i like the outcome even still, though i think that method of comic making works best for one shots like this. imagine trying to do that for a whole series...i’d die

september- back at it again with the oc art, but i used reference this time and drew a full body, so that’s a win!

october- more like OC-tober. i tried to draw an oc every day and only got like 5 days in </3

november- in the fall i took two online art classes, one of which was a perspective class. this was for an assignment; lots of work, but very rewarding! if i could redraw this again, i’d try to make the house look more crumbled, maybe have more fun; i was really hung up on getting the perspective right, but in the future i’d like to try and have more fun with line and shapes to really emphasize a certain look.

december- closing off the year with an oc portrait. around this time + for the next few months i got tired and burnt out on art, so i’d do oc paintings with the symmetry tool on, more to relax and practice painting/color than to focus on things like learning anatomy or interesting poses or composition. it’s what it is.

im posting this in june 2021, and since then i’ve honestly just been doing oc portraits mostly. L. maybe in the future i will have energy to work on art more?? i feel a little burnt out, trying to do my monotonous soul-crushing grocery store job + freelancing as a content writer which is also monotonous and soul-crushing in a way + trying to work on writing projects of my own with absolutely no success. aaaahhh. life is so much. maybe i’ll never be a Good artist, or a professional artist, or maybe i’ll never finish any creative project and maybe i’ll never make it as a creator. maybe i’ll just work retail or become a housewife or be a poorly-paid content marketing writer for big corporations forever, and creativity will be my little escape, my fun hobby. and that’s all it will be, and that’s ok. or maybe i’ll move on to other things, change careers, stop thinking so much about my ocs because they’re a stand-in for friends more than anything, and when i'm living a busy life and getting out in the world i’ll have no need to live vicariously through these ocs and maybe then i’ll stop writing and drawing. and that’ll be ok too, right? i like writing and drawing now. even if i’m not good, if my work doesn’t mean anything or say anything, it’s something i enjoy for me. if that’s all it ever is—frivolous, self-centered, something that one day i might lay down forever and never come back to—then i’ll be glad for the time i spent drawing and writing and thinking of stories and so on, but it won’t be my whole life. and that’s ok; i’ll be ok. sorry to end this art overview with an existential crisis. i’m gonna go eat lunch. i hate spelling ok like ok and not like okay, but im too lazy to type those two extra letters. ok lunch time fr bye. also who wants to talk about my hero acedmia?? can we PLEASE talk about my hero academia. ok bye fr.
