I'm trying to motivate myself to work on my Sonic Underground rewrite so here's a dump of various art of various quality pertaining to it, including ocs and my friends character Abel. Plus random human designs. No Manic because I couldn't think of hair.

Can't believe you can only post ten images I have a bagillion more and lots and lots of lore that would take... A lot of typing to get into. Motivation come to me I need more SU content and it won't come if I don't make it.

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

More sketches / wips, plus an update of the horse piece

I don't really like the design of the Link on the far left of the first but he's based on the CD-i games. I tried to make him match Zelda in terms of outfit but I'll probably change it, I'll also be adding that AUs Time kind of in-front of ST Link later.

My stylus broke so probably no updates for a while unfortunately,

A WIP of Quartet AU in TOTK era with my in-game horses 🫶

Horses are hard to draw do not recommend.

💕Happy Valentines Day 💕 This is a sequel to this comic

I figured if the Windfish wanted a human-like form, he'd go for something sorta drag-inspired since he already has that amazing eyeliner going on. Hope you uuh. like and subscribe

An updated WIP and more Links for Quartets AU that needs a better name.

Some story if anyone's interested, there's more in terms of like, Quartet pre-split, some specifics during the Four Swords games, but I'm really just piecing this together as it comes to me.

Link pulls the Four Sword to defeat Vaati, splitting into Shamrock, Azalea, Delphin, and Verbena. They maintsin the ability to refuse using the sword, although they have rejected the name Link in favor of Quartet.

Upon defeating and sealing the wind mage, the heros choose to seal themselves in the sword as well to be sure that if he was to ever escape Hyrule would be safe.

Ths Four Sword Sanctuary remains undisturbed until A Link To The Past, in which the sword has somehow (working on it) been transported to the dark world / Palace of the Four Sword. This switch has somehow corrupted the heros with Vaatis magic (again, working on it. Vaati is gone tho.), the Link of this time fights them assuming they're Dark Links or something, but this actually frees them from the corruption and they become an ally to Link, who they allow to wield their sword.

After the adventures of this Link (later nickednamed Dreamer or Savior by Quartet) they are once again returned to the sword until another adventurer finds them. This is the Link of Zelda 1, (also later nicknamed but currently undecided).

I plan on expanding on this more, especially Dreamer because Quartet also definitely accompanies him for LA (Based on Realm of Memories). They're definitely sealed through the events of ALBW, TFH, and EOW, I'm unsure if they're with Dreamer during the Oracle games. I do think they accompany Link #2 in TOAL tho.

Now. Four Swords happens before the timeline split, and Four Swords Adventures does not happen in the same one as all of this. I know it's non-canon but I am going with a BOTW / TOTK is a timeline merge universe, so although these are technically two different versions of Quartet / The Garden, they later merge into one while sealed in the sword and are pretty unaware of the fact time screwed up.

So in this timeline the Four Sword has remained completely undisturbed since the events of the original and it pretty much follows as expected except instead of there being a new Link to pull the sword and break the seal, it's broken naturally by Vaatis power and Quartet comes along with to save the maidens and Zelda. They manage to defeat Vaati and redeem Shadow because I really like him, he's neat. Shadow isn't as powerful as he is through their adventure though, I think I'm taking the ideas from the manga where he sacrificed himself and all that, but the gang brings him back as their actual shadow and he accompanies them in the sword.

They remain sealed until TOTK, where Link finds them in the Great Sky Islands. I have no reason for them being there YET I just wanted him to find them early. Dreamer doesn't face Quartet until he's able to enter the Palace, which is basically the end of the game iirc, I'm undecided when Link #2 gets them but it's likely pretty early as well.

TOTK Links nickname is Ruin or Tatters, unfortunately Quartet (mostly Delphin ngl) is a bit of a jerk to him at first. Not very impressed.

For the third timeline with WW, PH, ST, they are never reawoken with or without Vaati and the Four Sword was lost to time (and the flood probably).

Also. No one say anything about the swords. They're SO HARD TO DRAW 😭

Just looked at a blog where the header description said 'sometimes I reblog posts I like so I don't forget them'.

And I feel like that, right there, explains so much about how the site has changed in the last few months.

People now think reblogging is an unusual behaviour, rather than a default.

Tumblr newbies, please, for the love of baby Jesus, reblog the posts you like. That is the whole reason the site exists - for you to collect all your shiny fandom objects in a single space. Which you can organize to your heart's content. Or not organize at all, if that's your jam.

Our blogs are intended to be collections of posts, not collections of likes.

Care Bears Unlock the Magic is very underrated!

It has so little traction on here and virtually anywhere online that I see, it makes me sad cause this is a truly hidden gem of a show and its been quite a long while that I’ve fallen in love with a cartoon like this.

The classic and Care Bears movie artstyle is really cute, and I love the UtM style just as much! (In case you haven’t seen the style its this!)

I’m honestly so surprised it doesn’t have a bigger following as it reminds me a ton of My Little Pony G4 aka Friendship is Magic, which is a show I would say is one of my favourites of all time.

It’s got a lot of the same genuinely really good stuff FiM has like likable and real feeling characters (Grumpy Bear is so good don’t get me started!!), and really sweet character moments and lessons that aren’t forced but very natural feeling. It is a kids show, so it will sometimes have a bit of cheese and sap, but I am not at all bothered by that and think it is very genuine with what it does.

Not to mention the very pretty backgrounds and art this show has!!

The animation is quite wonderful too, I can say every episode has such charming style and movement. This show is a must watch if you are an animation lover!

If you are able to watch this show, definitely consider doing so!! Its on HBO Max (but we all know how we feel about that streaming service), but its also -

(almost) fully available on YouTube

- so it’s very easy to watch luckily! The only episodes missing are episodes 20, 25 and 40. For the record, you can always arrg me matey if you know what I mean 🏴‍☠️ (if you have any questions about how to do that, even for other shows, feel free to ask for any resources and advice!)

The show in my opinion does not start the most amazing on the first episode, its a bit rushed feeling for the setup, but it rapidly gets better and more enjoyable. My partner and I got sucked in pretty quick after a few eps and we’ve been watching a few at night lately :3 we both agree that episode 3 is where is picks up and gains its stride, but it is important to see the first two eps still I’d say especially the first one.

If you ever have the time and curiosity, I’d totally recommend it! Again, if you like shows like My Little Pony FiM, or even the more recent MLP G5, you’ll have a nice time!

Happy watching!🌈

It would be cool if you reblog this I’d love to spread the word
