genderbent screenshot redraw vs. edited screenshot in the style of the show because i finally snapped. i have so many thoughts on rex as a cis girl. im going to go insane.
Rex wrinkles his nose. "Why do we need different shoes?"
Noah rolls his eyes and drags the two pairs of bowling shoes off the counter. "Thanks," he says to the lady, before heading towards the lanes. "To protect the floors, dude."
"Why do the floors need protected?"
"Because they're polished or whatever. I don't know, just, put the stupid shoes on, okay?"
The ghost boy floated infront on Batman. All he wanted was to offer this kid some help. He has been deffending this town for a little over two years now with no help. So Batman just thought offering some training and other teen heros to help would be nice. But all he was met with was a cold hard stare. It wasn't a lookxof hatred, or anger, just disappointment.
"What?" He asked. For once in his life he didn't get it. What did he mean? 'There are more of us' more half ghosts like him? Multiples of him?
"What I mean Batman, is there are far more teen heros than you think. There are so many kids who were left to deffend their homes by themselves. I'm in contact with plenty of people like me. I don't need your charity work. We dont need it," Phantom took a deap breth, "so many kids had to save the world while the Justice League sat back and did nothing. Ben Tennyson has been saving the world since he was ten, a child soldier and the only effective weapon the Plumbers have. The Ninja over in Norrisville was given his powers at fourteen. Max Steel was fused with an alien and born with nuclear levels of power. The list goes on bats. Kim Possible, Jenny, Generator Rex, Zak Saturday. We all did just fine without you and your League."
Batman was speechless. That many? That many kids left to deffend their homes? Phantom obviously seemed to have contact with them, maybe they help eachother out, but still. How did the Justice League not know?
Phantom disappeared and left Batman to ponder his words alone. How many world ending events did thease kids fight? How many of them did they fight alone? How much help did each of them have? Phantom only has a niche group of allies, how small are their support groups?
He'll have to research this when he returns to the bat cave. Hopefully he can get all thease kids get the help they need. Set up Zeta Tubes in their cities, and end this awful epidemic of teen heros.
I love having the special interests of a 12 year old boy from the early 2000's because you'll ask me what my favourite media's are and I pull out a list of boy cartoons meant for pre teens
this was my first introduction to Generator Rex, to Rex Salazar specifically. I saw it for like a few minutes when I was 8, but these scenes burned themselves into my brain, and in another 10 or so years I re-discovered the show, became obsessed, and memorized every scene from every episode (except the prank one, because that episode was a mistake). Why?
because this scene permanently impacted how I saw heroes. they aren't there to beat the bad guy. they're there to save people. and they do it not because they are forced to, or guilted into it. they do it because they want to. because they care if people get hurt, even if those people are complete strangers.
these scenes are largely responsible for my disdain for modern live-action superhero spectacles, where the heroes "save the day", but leave countless civilians dead.
it is also the reason why I have come to love shows like Justice League Unlimited:
Or Invincible:
or the new show, My Adventures with Superman:
they GET IT. they GET WHY SAVING PEOPLE IS IMPORTANT.
because at the end of the day, it's not beating up the villain of the week that is important. it's saving lives.
If I had a nickel for every time a quirky latino guy was fused with a piece of world ending technology that took over his body not very with his consent I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but its weird that it happened twice

I’ve been wanting to draw something with them for a long time, but I never got around to it,
and when I saw this scene in Hazbin, I couldn’t help but want to edit it
Her physiology wasn’t that volatile, if you asked Valerie. Sure, it was a little unconventional, and as much as she would never ever admit it, she wasn’t perfect, but she was in control. In fact, she was really proud of how fantastically in-control she was.

the @ecto-implosion has been one of the most fun events i've participated in- it's been interesting being on the other side of a big bang (the low lows of waiting and anticipation, the high highs of reading something amazing inspired by your art.) i am so grateful to the mods and everyone who participated for making this event happen!
(the authors did such a fantastic job that i ended up making more art for one of their later scenes, which will be posted in a few days!)
