Jimmy Neutron didn't intend for it to be his last experiment, but as the void stared back into him and his body began to change, he knew that the dirty work he would perform from this moment on could not be couched in the terms of something as flawed and disgustingly human as the scientific method.

Ok, so, this post breached containment ages ago and I didn't think much of it for the most part, since no one's been getting weird about it like they have with some of my other popular posts. And I mostly ignored it, only occasionally checking to see if anyone left fun tags or something.

Then I noticed a name that people were reblogging from.

That's - that's not who I think it is, right? It can't be. It can't be.

No. No, it - it can't- I watched so many of his comic reviews in college, there's no way-

...is it weird if I feel validated by this?

I love that we have two Spider-Verse movies, soon to be three, and not a single one of them has even so much implied that they're going to include Morlun, the interdimensional vampire who only eats people with spider powers, who was the reason for the Spider-verse crossover event that the movies are a loose adaptation of.

I love this because Morlun sucks and is a truly shitty character, in many ways being the pinnacle of all the things that one can do wrong when creating a new supervillain for a superhero who's had over half a century of adventures.

Hi, Vanna here. I have submitted to the strange authority of Xenforo's image hosting system, which demands that if I want gallery items to appear in proper order, I will have to upload them back to front.

As such, welcome to the last few page's of Animedia Magazine's September 1997 supplemental Duelist Bible, translated by Nagumo and edited by me!

Anyway

THIS IS NOT A DRILL, VINTAGE OFFICIAL PATTERNS FOR YOUR VERY OWN DIY CHU-CHU

You've stated that you prefer your dragon designs to be primarily or solely reptilian. What are some examples of dragon designs that blend in characteristics of non-reptilian animals that you actually like?

Hmmm... I don't know if I should answer this. It feels like an invitation for strangers on the internet to try and convert me to liking mammalian and avian dragons more than reptile ones. They do it all the time, you know. They howl outside my window at night, screaming for me to change my ways. I've had to board up the windows to keep them from clawing their way in, talons sharp and teeth gnashing. They won't stop howling. They want me to be different than I am. They want me to think dragons are better with fur and feathers. It's horrible. One threatened to drink my eyeball fluids.

Anyway, whenever I make a joke exaggerating my feelings about dragons for comedy, someone always pipes in to defend the Rankin Bass take on Smaug as good, so I feel like I should lead with this one. I'm a self professed slut for Rankin Bass's fantasy films, so I feel like the fact that I like this design should go without saying, but just to put fears to rest, here's me saying yes, I like it. As dragons with mammal traits go, this is One of the Good Ones In My Book. I like him, he looks cool.

I feel like Haku is also one that should go without saying, but here I am, saying it. I can't say Haku doesn't look cool - he's basically a wolf snake, and Miyazaki knows damn well how to make wolves look cool as hell, and also animates a damn good snake. Would I like him a bit more if he was scaly instead of furry, the way Asian dragons usually are in art? Uh... yeah, honestly, I would, but the fur works here. It fits what Haku is going for, and sells him as something not quite natural while still representing several aspects of nature. It's a divergence from the reptile look with purpose, and it's done well.

Why am I defending this again, I've spent so much of my life defending scaly dragons, I feel like furry dragons kinda don't need help being popular.

Is including Toothless cheating? Originally I felt his cat features were blended thoroughly with distinctly lizardy features (spcifically agamid lizards like bearded dragons and the like), but in the sequels I think he subtly but noticeably shifted to be more and more catlike. He might not have fur, but by the end of the series I think there's not much that's reptilian in him beyond the long tail and scaly skin. Nevertheless, Toothless is really cute and I love him.

Other non-reptilian dragons I like... well, there's this one drawn by Michael Hague that, according to the story it was made for, is ultimately a big cat monster wearing iron armor. And look at him, how can you hate that face?

Is that enough? Have I shown an open mind enough yet? Can I go back to vocally preferring dragons that are big lizards and snakes now? I'm gonna go do that anyway, actually.

There's almost no officially licensed merch for Baldur's Gate 3 right now that I'd actually want to own, but my love for the game has reached the "I must have monuments to these characters in plastic or else I will lose their favor" stage, which has presented a problem for me. It's exacerbated by the fact that my player character in the game is very dear to me but will almost certainly never have official merch made for him - even though I think games with custom characters could make a killing selling toys with swappable parts to recreate different combinations, it'd be such a money maker someone do it please

Ahem

Anyway, I've used Hero Forge to make D&D character minis in the past, because it's fun and I'm sentimental and it's expensive but in a "if I scrimp and save for a few months I can afford this luxury" way. And, well, the Baldur's Gate 3 characters are basically D&D characters, right? So, presenting:

Your pal and mine, Durge Rotbrain!

His significant other, Karla!

The extremely popular Star Boi!

Emo goth turned pastel goth, Darkheart!

The cantankerous fighter, Laisy!

Everyone's friend, Warlock Willy!

And finally, blowing into our lives like a whirlwind, magic's favorite special boy, Dorothy!

Ah good, they gave Namari a suitably hot voice

I'm finally watching the Delicious in Dungeon anime and man the cast for the English dub is hitting it out of the park. The actress playing Marcille in particular really captures her neurotic energy perfectly. Also obviously ProzD is perfect as Senshi.

What did you think of Spider-Man: No Way Home? I know you said you loved Spider-Man: Homecoming but had very mixed feelings about Spider-Man: Far From Home. I, personally, would describe No Way Home as the 2nd best Spider-Man movie after Across the Spider-Verse (Though Beyond the Spider-Verse is probably gonna knock it down to #3). Not because of all the cameos, but because the movie did something a lot more superhero movies should do: rehabilitate ALL of the villains. I think this movie actually, retroactively improves all the previous live-action Spider-Man movies by giving each villain a satisfying a satisfying redemption at the end of their arcs and giving US, the audience who grew up with these characters, the closure we’ve craved for so long. 🕷️

I liked No Way Home a lot - it's not as good as, say, Spider-verse, but it was satisfying, especially to see Doc Ock get to redeem himself in life after his tragic end in Spider-Man 2. It was also nice to see Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin again - we don't get supervillains like that anymore and it's a shame, because Dafoe's Green Goblin was exactly the right mix of comedy and menace that comic book supervillains excel at.

If you had the chance to make a kaiju video game (copyrighted or original), all labor issues taken care of, what kind of game would you make?

A monster island ecology simulator - try to balance the ecosystem of monster island to keep your monsters happy and content so they don't leave and rampage on the mainland. Each monster would have detailed behaviors and environmental needs, and maybe dynamic relationships with each other - like two monsters that start as rivals becoming allies, or vice versa.
