I think it's hilarious how Suzanne Collins has such vibrant, deep characters but we only get useful descriptions of some of them. Like, we know every inch of Ripred, it's clear that she knew excatly what that dreamy beast was supposed to look like, but there's absolutely no consensus on the bats, especially Ares. My writers' group and I have been trying desperately to figure out just how big the bats are, but there's not a lot to go off of. Their carrying capacity is important for all the logistics, but weather they can carry a whole boat or just three kids and a cockroach is always up in the air. It doesn't help that Ares, the one we get to see the most of, is just legendarily jacked. He can carry a whole ass Ripred (who again, we have clear descriptions of, he's six feet tall and jacked to hell and back as well). So okay, got it, the bats are huge as well, but then we get all these descriptions of them just vibing in enclosed spaces, and when Ares gets arrested it only takes two people to carry him to trial. Are the Regalians just also incredibly jacked? How many body builders are there down here?
We also just never get to know what kind of bat Ares (or any of the other fliers for that matter) is. It really is just left up to the artist's interpretation. There's cover art of him as a microbat, a flying fox, some weird amalgamation of both... there are no wrong answers. I love seeing all the fanart here because we can't agree either so we just get a big buffet of different beautiful bats to look at.
The only concrete bat descriptions we get are that they all have bright, vibrant, and diverse warrior-cats OC pelts. You got your adorable tabby bats, your zebra bats, evil red bats, and edgy loner black bats.

this one goes out to my fellow supporters of the weight-gain-as-part-of-recovery trope. and just anyone who pictured/pictures nureyev as fat while listening to the series!
[ID: a collection of digital drawings of peter nureyev, here depicted as a tall, fat, asian man with short black hair and glasses. the first is a full body drawing of him smiling and wearing a suit, with a long coat draped over his shoulders. he has a speech bubble that reads “why hello dear detective.” the second shows a more disgruntled-looking nureyev from the waist up, wearing a vest and slacks and holding a suit jacket over one shoulder.
the third drawing is nureyev and juno smiling and leaning in for a kiss. nureyev is dressed in a pink dressing gown with a mesh top underneath it, and juno is in a blue hoodie. juno has a speech bubble that reads “mornin’, handsome man.” the fourth drawing is nureyev in the same dressing gown, his hands in his pockets and smiling confidently with “*smug*” written next to him. there are pink lipstick marks on his face and chest. END ID]

a little while back I saw someone saying people drawing artemy burakh with six packs should be harmed physically and I just have to laugh bc they don’t realize how six packs work I guess? yes he would have visible abdominal muscles. because he’s fucking dehydrated. and starving also.

Ok fine I started Trigun Stampede and I love the feisty gremlin girl, drunk angsty grandpa, and the wacky-waving-inflatable-arm-man-brought-to-life gunslinger.
I'm ready for the dark underbelly to show itself and emotionally destroy me like these kind of anime tend to have

thinking about this image. peter is very babygirl, so 🧍♂️, extremely cute yet also Extreme Fishing. Mike is so normal here, he's just normal shaped, taking a sip. These are two dudes being guys. two guys being dudes. the autism stares in this image are off the fucking charts.

majima’s overall character design is so enthralling because he’s somehow got undeniable trashcan-dwelling gremlin energy while simultaneously standing at a whole six foot one
