i love your art so much it reminds me of medieval manuscripts
Ah, thank you. Had to ask my two associates if my art is really reminiscent of medieval manuscripts and they agreed with this statement. I am a bit surprised, but I’m glad since I did take inspiration from the intricate, medieval aesthetic for the borders I sometimes do for the style. There actually is an individual I follow who has a style much better replicated like this since they’re a souls artist.

lemme tell you im starting to get a little sick of when im complaining about when a show or movie is writing a major female character with not as much depth as her male cohorts or she's written oddly plot device-like for a main character and people always tell me "oh but it's intentional, we're seeing her through the eyes of the male main character and he has a crush on her so he doesnt see her flaws" because like
FIRST of all yeah i get it but its hard to write that trope interestingly to me at this point without a lot of work put into subversion so intentionality doesnt make it any less boring
SECONDLY half the time people say this about ensemble cast stuff and like why is the random dude suddenly designated as the most perspective of all perspective characters when it comes to this specific woman. why dont we get to see the other characters perspectives on her too?
AND THIRDLY do people view women they have crushes on as bland plot devices without lives of their own enough irl that this is so universal in writing? isnt the point of having a crush wanting to hang out and know more about your crush, know about their likes and dislikes and all that. am i missing something here

24 (What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?) for Roxy
Thanks for copying the question here buddy I appreciate that a lot (I can't load the post on my phone or my own blogs at all still)
Uhhhh honestly, Roxy's pretty different to a lot of my usual other blorbos. I could compare her to Labrys from Persona 4 Arena in a sense that they're both robots with horrible trauma that have been forced to do things they wouldn't dream of doing otherwise, but that doesn't feel like a great comparison ngl
I could compare her to a lot of blorbos though. Like Bracken from Ni No Kuni 2, Unit #024 and Labrys from Persona 4 Arena, for being chronically underutilized by the devs. Maybe PURL from Kuni 2 but PURL feels more... Like an opposite to Mimic? The first attempt at sentient AI in that world, determined to answer the question of what colour is the sky for herself... Only knows a few things, a child her closest friend, and accidentally takes over the wholeass factory in her attempts to see the sky again after like a decade of being deactivated. And also because the devs couldn't think of anything interesting for a new Broadleaf area so they wanted to make sure you did the wholeass factory again for some fucking reason.
Ohhh then again, I was watching those clips last night and Toothless and Hiccup made me think of Roxy and Cassie in an AU kind of way. Mostly because of the dogisms I like to give Roxy and because of several AUs that are more in line with How to Train Your D/ragon... (Put a slash in it to make extra sure I don't end up in any searches for that) So maybe Toothless? Maybe not?
Honestly I don't think I've ever liked a character that has shown much interest in their appearance before. Maybe Erza from Fairy T/ail? Looks cool and could kill you but has zero braincells whatsoever? Also very traumatised? Koromaru from P3 cause his persona is Cerberus and Roxy is the Cerberus to Mimic? And I can see her running around with a knife in her teeth? I dunno man that's a tough question
Ohhh there was also Blaze from the Sonic games! Not because of Roxy specifically, but because in coming up with a horse for her, many of the ideas for it was giving my Blaze vibes lmao. She has a horse in the Olympic games and it's pure white with light purple tack and possibly eyes I don't remember so yeah that kept popping to mind in coming up with a horse nsjsdj
And I suppose my OC Zephyr somewhat reminds me of her. That whole universe I made was started when I got so deep into a Pupcakes/Roxica Pirates AU that I decided to make it a whole thing and Zephyr is who Roxy in the story became. I like Zephyr she's very cool and has become very distinct from Roxy, but her roots are still there, ya know? I'll always remember where she started.
Jsisjsi I could associate Roxy with Disney's Bolt too just cause he's a superhero dog and a funny lil guy. And for some reason one of the OST tracks for the DS game will plague my mind for the rest of my days. Even though I'm thinking of every track but that one right now. It's the one for Bolt's part of the... Something Temple level. Bolivia? Belize??? I think it has a B in it... But anyway yeah Superdog! Hooray!
P03 from Inscryption too but mostly because it's tech themed, and I had that old AU where I drew her as the Scrybe of Technology. Inscryption is incredible btw I fucking love it. I suck at it apparently though. I got to Act 2 and played a fucking beefed up Ouroborus in the first stage of P03's fight like "oh I've got this fucker now!!" No I did not. I absolutely did that. Stoatal misplay. Could not have fucked that up more lmao anyone that's played or seen this game will know exactly what ended up happening there nsjdjdi I FORGOT okay?? I forgot!!!
BACK ON TOPIC yeah Roxy's a pretty different character to the norm for me. Genuinely can't think of anyone that might be similar to her enough for them to remind me of her if I saw them again. Maybe if I went back and watched the old My Little Pony from the fucking 70s or whatever, but it would just be the standard stereotype of "all girls care lots about their appearance and gasp in horror if you dirty a pretty dress" probably. You know the one. I do my best not to humour that shit in my own Roxy interpretation but it's hard to forget that's absolutely where her written personality stems from :/

I present to you:
The Santanalysis timeline
Aka something to help me and all of us consider what Santana’s Glee journey actually is and how it happens chronologically. I’m not saying this is a definitive way of looking at her through the seasons and I’m not gonna do a “proper” analysis of all these eras here and now, but I thought it’d be fun to visualize how Santana’s journey evolves. And maybe something I can refer to when I progress with more elaborate Santanalysis stuff. These are central themes and semi-arcs she has through the seasons that help out - my - understanding of where she’s at.
For now, a brief overview.
Comphet:
Early seasons Santana is largely defined by the role she plays in others’ stories but as she grows into a major character this is recontextualized within her identity as a lesbian. The season 1 comphet stuff is very different from the season 2 one but this theme is the closest we get to a Santana arc until she comes out, first and foremost to herself. Even then, I’d argue her comphet struggle lasts until almost the very end of season 2. Season 1′s comphet breakdown is ready for you to read here; part two is coming at some point this century.
Coming out:
This is again not a single-season arc but rather one that is hinted at earlier on and kicks off in season 2B and “concludes” in season 3A. I say “concludes” because it’s not like being a lesbian stops being an inalianeble part of Santana’s identity, and it’s not like IKAG did a good job. For that reason, this would more accurately be titled “coming out/outing” but let’s keep it brief.
Career path:
An awkward titles for an arc that encompasses so much more and is never given the conclusion it deserved. Official kick-off would be 3x16 and then Santana spends a substantial amount of time questioning her path and even her identity within the context of performing and generally work-wise. We could again divide into subcategories: pre-graduation, Louisville, moving to New York, the many jobs she has until the feud, and even the very few s5B episodes she’s in give this more dimensions. A real coming of age journey for Santana and one of two central questions in her seasons 4 and 5 journey.
Inner circle expansion:
Again with the awkward phrasing, also known as “friendships.” I’d argue that, along with her search for an identity and career, a pillar of Santana’s s4 & 5 arc is her relationships. Her heart shines through in season 4 and she proves her worth as a friend throughout while also struggling and learning to expand her list of people she’s comfortable with. Comfortable being vulnerable around importantly, as that was mainly just Brittany in the past but here she builds a family of sorts with Kurt and Rachel and has more lowkey but important friendships with others. Much to say about this bit in her arc.
Happy ending:
I don’t quite know what else to title this last bit in season 6, if not just “Brittana.” Which, as you all know, I have no issue with but there is something to be said about how Santana’s two pillars of career search and other friendships are all but dropped in season 6. We could talk production reasons and how much her friendships were really dropped, and speculate what it is Santana decides to do in the future after all, but all in all even with this abrupt change of pace she still has a happy ending. The conclusion of Brittana’s arc is also her own and she gets resolution from not only Alma but Sue. Again, much to say about how that goes down, whether it’s satisfying, etc., but ultimately it just feels right to consider the tail end of Santana’s Glee journey her happy ending. Started with comphet now she has a wife.

I am realising how many spots I missed trying to shave the back and sides of my head last night (down to skin this time bc it grows back so fast and it gets so hot in the summer bc my hair is thick)
This isn’t necessarily an excuse to start saving towards the Boomtown Rats mirror in their shop, but also, I could totally ask Housemate to put a lil hook on the opposite bathroom wall to the main mirror, and we could like. put that there for haircuts and find some cool art to habitat the hook the rest of the time and then the mirror could otherwise reside in my room unless needed for the aforementioned haircuts (bc I don’t yet have a mirror in there and I didn’t think I really needed/wanted one?? until I realised I was trying to style my hair in the flip view/selfie view of my phone camera a few days ago and was like. Oh.)
But also. Isn’t it?
