The girls are plottinggggg

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen chao #wang lingjiao #Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again.#They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two.#They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains.#And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge.#Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her.#She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness.#Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her.#I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless.#If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point.#WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant.#I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards #But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water.#Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb-#-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals.#Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.

harrianthe + sewing (variations on a theme)

#tlt #my art #you sew a girl's lips shut she sews you a dress...reciprocity is so important in relationships <3 #ianthe when harrow pulls out her quote unquote enormous needles: haha so do you just carry those around with you 😳#no but for real imagine being ianthe at the end of gtn and you're on God's shuttle and it's just you and this nun who you don't really know #but who you're maybe into #and then she comes over and apropos of nothing is like 'alright i want you to lobotomize me #but first you'll have to let me sew your lips shut.'#and this is the most consecutive words this girl has ever said to you.#like yeah how DO you deal with that sort of cognitive whiplash? i feel like #ianthe's snap decision to marry her was as valid as any other reaction one might have had.#also i went so hard on drawing ianthe's room in the first one for literally no reason.#me detailing swans to tastefully obscure cyrus's junk in a background portrait i plan to blur beyond recognition anyway: i may be #overdoing this.

#monster high #lagoona blue #monster high gen 3 #ignore the background #it’s hideous I know #but I need to get into the habit of actually drawing them #for improvements sake #I am pretty upset with the new designs #like I know many others are #lagoonas especially so #don’t get me wrong she’s really pretty and I had fun drawing her #but to me that’s just not lagoona #like I’d be totally for it if it was a separate character #but my brain can’t see that as my girl #but it is what it is #and all things considered as I said she doesn’t look bad #the only one who I hateeeee is heath #they keep doing my boy wrong #my art

Forgot to share here.... old doodles of when I finally came around to finding a design I like for Qalaari's mom !!

#it's so fucking funny to me that i inadvertently gave her a variant of the “mom about to die” haircut because... well...#surprise... she did die when Qalaa was young (12) :'^)#Qalaa (now between 20 and 22) still hasn't gotten over it #her mom had really weak health and really shouldn't have had a child but she made her choice #it turned out to be not the best one for her health LMAO #who wouldve thunk #but hey she wanted it and i'm pretty sure she doesn't regret it #but well... Qalaa does feel like she was a participant in her mom's death #(the other participant being her biological father who ran away before she was born and shattered aamira's heart)#ANYWAYS #i love qalaa's messed up familly #it's like a regular messed up story where actually no one (and everyone) is to blame (except Qalaa lmao she asked for NOTHING)#Aaamira gave so so much love to her child ;;;;;; this built the unbreakable core of Qalaa's kindness #aamira #aamira croquelune #aamira molandine #croquelune #still thinking about making that potentiel small DnD 'lore addon' of Qalaa's village that you can take and plug in your very own campaign #as long as you have 'far from civilization' woods or mountains you can put them in there #a village that welcomes the 'monsters' and the cast out #(like aamira)#look at me rambling in the tags lmao i just love qalaari (& her background) so much #last thing tho : you have to understand that Aamira is small and very slight and Qalaari was a HUGE baby and is a really big girl overall

love is watching your gfs back in a fight to the death

(and looking really gay doing it)

#rain world #rw hunter #rw artificer #artihunter #i would've added a background and shading if i. wasn't lazy #and also backgrounds suuuuck #but. ehehe. girls who kill and maim and explode <3 #arti is drooling bc when she gets agitated she starts secreting the substance she uses to make explosive weapons in larger amounts #and a lot (but not all) of the glands which secrete that substance are in her mouth #get yourself a gf that turns rocks into bombs by shoving them in her mouth <3 #faux art

Stargazy pie is my favorite Horrible Food to inflict the knowledge of upon other people, and I love that it sometimes shows up in Girl Genius.

Stargazy pie is ridiculous and you should look it up. Totally should do that. Trust me.

And then you should go forth and inflict this knowledge on other people, too.

#girl genius #background details #why does this food exist #who came up with that #stargazy pie #stargazy pie why

i hope ruby gets a well-that’s-alright-then-style notdeath. on the one hand it will make haters mad because oh no not another companion with an impermanent end (and i like to see haters mad) on the other it would require creativity to depict this in a new way + i love all the implications i love the dark fairytale quality of these companion exits i love my un-undead schrodinger’s women

with the way the legend of ruby sunday is titled… legends aren’t usually told about living people. legends are stories of the bygone past, of an age long since over, fictionalised and overgrown with folklore like barnacles sticking to an abandoned shell. there is such a thing as a living legend, but they’re exceedingly rare. the unmistakeable raven’s call in the 73 yards teaser, the trailer’s cut to fifteen crying alone after promising to cherry he’d protect her daughter… the foreshadowing is clear as day…

and yet. there’s one massive HOWEVER. ruby appears in s15: millie’s been spotted on set filming it. which leads me to believe — the doctor isn’t one to take the time travel route and revisit companions that in his future are genuinely dead. that would hurt too much, it would cause unnecessary trauma and could break the timeline. that must mean ruby stays alive in some way. ish. she’s alive and a legend and a mystery. girl-ballad girl-song girl-paradox

here she is, fading out.

p.s.: thesis statement on moffatgirls from the tags i left on somebody else’s post about charley pollard.. well it belongs here since it’s basically the semiotic hurricane swirling around ruby at the moment :)

#on a personal level what interests me about these characters is precisely what gets them labeled as being subject to #misogynistic writing by pop-feminist video-essayists. as an autistic girl* (*ish) however; i find female characters that #aren’t quite ‘normal people’; women who represent an idea or concept or are a puzzle to be solved or a manic pixie dream girl to be #more and in a way far more interesting than a girl-next-door-type universally relatable protagonist #they make for more nuanced stories with more symbolism and more layers of interpretation usually. why should there be realism in a #fantastical narrative? similarly i like characters that are haunting the narrative or dead before it began (big locked tomb fan if you #didn’t know) and like. not to be tvtropes but the lost lenore archetype. dead woman who spurs the hero on to recklessness or revenge.#i identify with that dead girl. the laura palmers of the world. set the story in motion without #necessarily having agency. maybe it’s something to do with my #constant background radiation of passive suicidality. in a fun whimsical way :) i would never kill myself but i don’t want to be a real #person. i want to be objectified but not necessarily in a k*nky s*xual way (that too) in a princess in a tower way #the ultimate femme fantasy innit? there’s something about it. hashtag problematic hashtag conforming to gender roles #10000 tags be upon ye #ruby sunday #millie gibson #doctor who #dw #steven moffat #clara oswald #fifteen #fifteenth doctor #twelveclara #amy pond #charley pollard #river song #donna noble #ncuti gatwa #doctor who meta #jamie.txt #haunting

BB!Houndstar

An ancient leader of ShadowClan, who saw Darkstar's Commandment be added to the code following the death of Mapleshade's kittens.

[ID: The Better Bones version of Houndstar. She is a brown-and-white molly with smooth fur and amber eyes. She has a brown hood, fingerless 'gloves,' and cape, a flopped ear, and a beauty spot under her eye. There is a resin star in her claws.]

Clanmew Name: Bayaoshai (Bayao = A gigantic, baying dog + Shai = Star)

Alignment: ShadowClan

Children: Batear, Mousewing

Time Era: Chivalric Period

I just think she's neat!

Houndstar inherited ShadowClan from Marshstar, who was thrust into power when Ripplestar's rebellion ended in disastrous failure. For his entire reign, Marshstar resented the circumstances that gave him power and only did the bare minimum to keep the Clan together. Once the ambitious Houndfang became deputy, he simply allowed her to run things how she pleased.

And when she took power, Houndstar decreed a new age for ShadowClan, one of renewed honor and glory. She became known for being one of the most ferocious leaders in modern memory, launching vicious, brutal attacks on the other Clans and laying claim to anything she could win. Houndstar was a notorious kitten stealer, even claiming two for herself!

So, when Darkstar and Oakstar were commanded by StarClan to amend the Code, that all kits should be protected regardless of their origin, Darkstar knew that Houndstar would be an opponent. The fearsome leader was only cordial at Gatherings, a sacred time of truce.

But in the end, Houndstar's ferocity was only outmatched by her piety. Her tune changed as soon as Redthistle, her loyal cleric, advised her that this truly was the will of StarClan.

Bonus trivia below the cut!

Batear was her son! It did not help him after Palefoot's mysterious disappearance. Houndstar did not need direct evidence, she knew Batear did it.

It was only by the grace of being her child that she offered him the ability to escape exile by telling the Clan where Palefoot's body was.

Unfortunately, he's just as proud and stubborn as his mother.

Houndstar's reign ended about halfway through the Crusade Era, she jumped on board with Oakstar's idea in a heartbeat.

ShadowClan was full of enthusiastic Crusaders, and she herself lost several lives and a deputy in the raids.

She chose Cedarpelt as her third deputy, a practical and organized cat, to run ShadowClan so she could spend more time fighting.

Canon!Houndstar is a tom but I said no. ShadowClan needs more female leaders.

The little resin star is the closest I can get to a valuable in-universe cross. For the record, Clan cats don't have access to true amber (a type of fossil), but they can make resin (which can become amber over a few million years of heat and pressure)

Houndstar owns a few religious items like this.

Mousewing's daughter was Foxheart, whose son was Wolfstep, whose son was Badgerfang. The line named their children after animals, until the horrible death of Badgerfang when Wolfstep decided to end the practice out of grief.

Her flopped ear is actually because of an injury. There's a hole in the middle; it is not a feature she was born with.

I'm unsure of who Mousewing and Batear were stolen from; but I have half a mind to make them the stolen siblings of Perchshine from RiverClan. Darkstar's nespring. More reason for Houndstar to accuse her of just trying to make a commandment for sore losers.

After her death, she's one of ShadowClan's favorite War Patrons. Skystar is more popular across the Clans, but Houndstar is more personal to ShadowClan specifically.

She's also sometimes invoked for faith in StarClan.

#Better bones au #Houndstar #Character Summary #Very obscure background character BUT an interesting one #she has been in my head... the girl #One thing I care a lot about for BB is how culture and society itself change through the ages #And there are characters who are 'products' of their time #So Houndstar here is one shining example of a product of her time
