I think it's Extremely Relevant right now to talk about Skylanders' military propaganda [Edit].
I will not be graphic. But your further research on this... most likely will be, at least in a descriptive way.
Tumblr media
A. Skylanders was created by Activision, the same company that made Call of Duty. Call of Duty (among others) is a game used to reel in youth for army recruitment. Just to picture what's the typical order of business for leaders at the company.
B. The whole idea of the Academy, ranks, "Us vs Them" mentality. "Light and order" vs "Darkness and anarchy". Regardless of your opinions on Anarchy as a system, darkness often equaling Kaos' workers such as trolls (and even gyps*es), and for Skylanders meaning dark skinned creatures, is pretty clear sign of their idea of evil.
[Edit: Light=Good and Darkness=Evil is not a universal experience. Multiple cultures consider it just as sacred, an equal, instead of an opposite to Light. Symbolically and Philosophically, there's more to it, beyond the typical eurocentric imaginary.
Speaking of eurocentric imaginary: to an uncritical consumer, this could potentially reinforce their ideas of good and evil. There is little wiggle room for these ideals to be challenged. They are exceptions of Skylanders' norm.]
C. Just in Superchargers, there are references to a Border being kept between Skylands and Outlands, High Volt being this "elite guard" that protects the border. Notice he looks like a riot police, in colors and gear- one of which is a riot shield. Protesting is a right, and in these parts of the world, it is often met with unhinged police violence. Regardless of your opinions on borders, the way such a thing is enforced in the USA is extremely violent. Even here in Puerto Rico, we have border patrol and constant surveillance (mostly aimed at keeping out our Dominican neighbors).
Do not get me started on the long history of Puertorrican oppression inflicted by USA Imperialism. (Agent Orange, Forced Sterilization, Vieques Occupation).
[Edit: Just... Copaganda in My video game? No, thank you. For ME, If I portray High Volt, I'd redesign and reinterpret him. He's like, a lightbulb. Perhaps he is part of a watch tower, but for other purposes].
D. Sorry, Nightfall here goes another problematic thing about you: Nightfall is dressed like a type of Navy admiral: A long coat with yellow buttons and yellow cord epaulets. She also has a vehicle called the Sea Shadow, referencing a real-life military ship designed for surveillance.
[Edit: Not every country has a military. And those who do have the biggest budget for it are typically using it as an imperial, colonial force. This is important, more so because Skylanders' target audience is the young eurocentric USAmerican. The parent company is Activision Blizzard, stationed in USA. The way other Skylanders talk about the Superchargers is like the Air Force are talked about by others in the army- they are the more "prestigious" ones with shiny new vehicles lmao].
E. The idea is that one can be a hero through this hard, thankless fighting... in another's land, "Securing" that land from the "evil ones". Sounds like Occupation and / or a Coup to me. Goes hand in hand with the point about Borders and Light vs Darkness.
[Edit: People. I am talking about this above with Manifest Destiny in mind. I am not claiming all the Skylanders are colonizers, lol! I'm saying there's way too many references to USA military propaganda to ignore. I ask you to use your own discernment / research to make your conclusions. There are things I didn't pick up.
I simply did Not appreciate Buzz telling Stormblade to do Psychological Warfare, or calling Glumshanks an "apple-polishing troll" when the guy just wanted to help. To me, this is not funny haha. It's funny like weird!]
___
These are the things on top of my head I've wanted to talk about for a while, but now more than ever is pressing to bring it up and discuss with intent to move forward. Don't go "You're overreacting" Please don't tell me I don't know anything about something I experience every day. Also, don't put words in my mouth, thanks. You can visit this post if you have questions.
If you can help it, don't give Activision any more of your money, for example, buying their newer games. Buy second hand.
Avoid spending at companies like Airbnb (which not just supports settlers but directly worsens my country's housing crisis), Apple, Hp, Motorola, McDonald's, Starbucks, Coca Cola, Mars chocolate, Nestle are a few others that dont have a clean track record. Get familiar with modern-day imperialist interest around you on your own, or with friends.
👋[If your knee-jerk reaction to this is to hate me perhaps inspect why that is? I'm not a big influential blog. Why you threatened? I can't force you or bully you to do anything, I'm just making my opinions known].

Skytober Day 24: Portal Master
Sorry for the long break, real life was up to its old tricks. Anyway, I'm back for more with Eugenie and updated designs for Leo and Madi!
You didn't think I forgot about them, did you?

Kinda salty that he wasn’t added when all the others were added so here’s a really rough draft thingy of Awakened Thrillipede
He has:
Square goggles (like traditional pilot goggles)
New gloves
A parachute pack (the straps along his jacket are because of it)
gun
Bioluminescence (markings are colored in)
His awakened design is based off of br*tish war pilots

Made some edits of Pop Fizz to look more like his love potion variant
[Image ID: Three images containing the character Pop Fizz from the videogame franchise Skylanders. All edited to give him pink fur and light blue eyes. The first one depicts Pop Fizz as his awakened form in Skylanders Ring of Heroes looking like a scientist with goggles, a jacket, and his arm braces appearing to have yellow liquid presumably the same as the potion he is holding. The second is an image from one of the skylanders comics that shows Pop Fizz with his mouth wide open in a smile. He appears to be pouring a potion that is emitting a light blue glow. The last shows another image from the comics. Pop Fizz is standing on some stone ground seeming like he is talking to someone nonchalantly and pointing with something with his thumb to the left. /.End ID]

Ayo I gotta ask:
Where did you find that Kaos pic you're using as your pfp? It almost looks like it's from Ring of Heros.
I got it from the Skylanders wiki

Nightfall seems to be quiet for a while, thinking and tilting her head. "Yes, I have family, those who accept and love me... Most people related to me by blood have left Fogshadow. But my dad stays, for me & for the people."
Tumblr media
"Family..." Nightfall whispers.
Tumblr media
She looks toward the viewer and adds to her answer. "Plus, those who fight alongside me. My... friends." Stormblade and Spitfire were in hearing distance, and they both appreciate her answer. "Aw!" They say, facing each other yet looking at Nightfall with a soft expression and their hands clasped close to their chests.
