What’s Sammy like in your AUs? (Personality, but appearance in particular,, had an idea floating in my brain about an animation meme)

Saw this ask and I swear I have never speedrun a concept so fast- it must be partially from the art high I’m getting from the animatic. /j

Sammy infodumping below:

I’ve had a rough idea for their design for a while so I’ll try to sum this up as best I can. Sammy in my AUs (and headcanons for in game) was originally an explorer with Nurm. The duo would go and chart new territories, with Sammy being oriented on studying the fauna/flora of biomes and Nurm mapping. Eventually, the two run into Jack and Vos while on a treasure hunt and decide to help out. One successful treasure hunt later and all four become a group, going on adventures and mapping and such. After a few years, Nurm decides to go off and map new locations while the trio go off adventuring.

Sea Temple time oh boy: The trio stumble upon a prismarine gauntlet while spelunking and accidentally open the original “heckmouth.” (The gauntlet doesn’t have the curse of binding, but the heckmouth does pose a great threat.) Eager to find answers on how to close the dangerous pit, they visit the closest village: Mushroom Archipelago. Sammy, used to conversing with Nurm, translates for the group and they deduce that their best bet lies in a Sea Temple nearby. (Not going into too much detail here because I’m saving it for my fic.) Unfortunately things go awry upon entering the guardian room of the temple when Sammy is killed by the guardians and Vos locked away in the room’s traps.

—Petra reminds Jack a LOT of Sammy which is why he is so quick to open up to her and offer to take her on adventures.

—The potion in Sammy’s inventory at the time of her death was given to her by Vos (something to help defeat the elder guardians with like strength or speed.)

Personality:

—very similar to Petra (laid back, group mediator, etc)

—experienced archer and biologist (cartographer too after joining Jack and Vos)

—always carried a journal in her bag filled with sketches of biomes, plants, mobs, etc

—would have loved lush caves if she found one

Design Notes: (may be changed in final reference)

—bandages around hands help with climbing trees (usually to get to a vantage point for shooting)

—cape is very short and is often worn around neck or waist (also her diamond is in the center)

—every bit of me is holding back adding more plants to her apparel

—colors may be changed in her final design, but you’re absolutely free to use them nonetheless

—Hehe also as a little easter egg, for those of y’all who pay close attention to my drawings of Vos, you’ll know he carries leaves in his bag. Yes, that has always been a nod to my Sammy design. I may be slightly in denial that he’s dead, but he always plants to remind himself of her.

I cannot wait to see your animation meme omg. ^^ That sounds so freaking awesome—

Lair Review for @dragonwysper

First impressions: You have a neatly organized lair with a lot of varied dragons!

Velkurpeni

Oooo she’s cool! I love your art in her bio! It’s very pretty! As for the dragon herself, the Victor’s skull is definitely what makes this dragon. It shows so much personality. However I do feel like some of her apparel is a bit too busy, especially with all those halos layered over each other. Unless you were going for a chaotic energy with the layering? I also love the new space scene for her!

Prazdnota

A space child! If I could steal this dragon I 100% would. Starcon on veils goes hard and plum is a GREAT color. I had no idea plum gave a blue gradient effect for constellation on veils. I’m in love with the look. And the accent doesn’t distract from the natural beauty of the dragon, but enhances it.

Jeffrey

Omg a Jeff the Killer fandragon. I did not expect to see a creepypasta inspired dragon. You did a great job at making him look like the character! I even thought of Jeff the Killer before looking at his name or bio.

Jack

I appreciate a nice basic/basic dragon now and then! Cobalt smirch looks good with steel! I can also relate to tough breeding projects when you’re trying to get a nonexistent combo. I was working on my own rare color combo project with special eyes when the eye update happened too. Congrats on completing your boy!

Seedeater

Oh this is a fun looking dragon! I like how you’ve layered all the feathered apparel. This dragon is Extra Birb and I love them. I’ve never heard of the Seedeater creepypasta before but I do appreciate a neat creepy bird creature.

Alpijskija

A nice frosty dragon! They look nice and cozy for the winter in their arctic apparel. The steampunk wings and goggles were also a nice addition! I was honesyly surprised that their primary was oilslick because with the combo of their apparel and the white from piebald you can hardly see any of the oilslick on them! It’s a neat affect that makes them look more wintery!

Rubin

This lad has a fun ID! That’s a lot of 4s! I like how the bloodstone cascades match his berry opal. The purple birdskull goes surprisingly well with the helpful healer’s apparel.

Wysper

A spooky look! I LOVE the layering of the sanddune rags, bone crown and antlers! It gives this guy such a unique look. It’s extremely well done! The fuchsia ghost on top of black crystal is also such a good look I love contrasting bright colors on top of dark and ghost is one of the best genes to do that! Everything about how you’ve dressed him is very good, but the smokeswirl really ties everything together.

Ohen

This dragon is on fire! Ironic considering they’re an ice dragon. I love the effect of sunshine smoke over oilslick. I also like how well the apparel blends into the dragon. It’s subtle yet helps the dragon pop. The haunting apparel really help give this dragon that ‘on fire’ look. the accent is also simple but effective. The antlers from the accent gives them such a unique look!

Marjanka

Is that a WEED dragon? Highly illegal. I am reporting you to the mods. I’m joking, I’m joking. I enjoy the funny weed dragon.This is a perfect dragon for the Marva eyes and I’m loving the addition of all the plants and the mushrooms.

My thoughts on The Super Mario Bros. Movie - First Look and Teaser Trailer

When I became a fan of Mario games a decade ago, I only started collecting merchandise such as apparel and toys, and I researched it on the internet that Mario also exists in animation and live-action shows and movies. I really want to see Mario on television or in the big screen, and it became a reality.

Last October 4, Nintendo posted this teaser image for the upcoming Mario movie. The first thing comes to my mind after seeing this was inspired by Super Nintendo World in Universal Studios Japan. They also include references everywhere, such as Yoshi's egg, the blocks, and Peach's Castle which now takes higher above the hills. Mario seems like to have a little style modification, as well as the toads.

And for the trailer that was shown today at New York Comic Con 2022, it totally looks like a brand new Mario game, but in fact, it's a movie and loving it so far. Jack Black's Bowser voice is good like those regular villainous voices in animated movies, while Chris Pratt's Mario is amazing. I think he's got the Brooklyn accent again like from the TV series. The visuals are enchanting, from Bowser's appearance, Luigi being afraid, and Mario and the adventurous Toad exploring the Mushroom Kingdom.

I never knew about Mario in other media in my childhood days, but I enjoyed the video games that makes me a part of it. As an avid Nintendo and Mario fan, I'm happily looking forward to see The Super Mario Bros. Movie when it premieres in movie theaters.

Pleasing’s New Campaign Star Mick Fleetwood on the Magic of Harry Styles and Joy of Wearing Nail Polish

“He’s a magical man,” says Harry Styles of Mick Fleetwood, who he counts as a musical hero, close confidante, and now, the new face of his brand, Pleasing. “Mick is someone who brings me–and countless others–great joy,” he continues. “I felt there couldn’t be a better embodiment of Pleasing, or a person who could so naturally capture the wizardry that we love.” Any Fleetwood Mac fan knows the pivotal role that the Fleetwood drummer played not just in forming the band, but holding it together during the making of their landmark 1977 album Rumours amid heartbreak and emotional turmoil. Accordingly, they will know that he’s the perfect free-spirited sorcerer–and force of style–for the job.

The connection of Styles and Fleetwood began as any cross-generational friendship between two music legends does. “My 12-year-old daughters said, ‘Dad we want to go and see Harry Styles!” says Fleetwood with a laugh, recalling the catalyst for him first meeting the British pop singer back in 2014. Obliging the pleas of his twins Ruby and Tessa, he took them to a One Direction concert and subsequent meet and greet at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Try as Fleetwood did to play “cool dad,” and fly under the radar (at 6′ 5″, no less), Styles, a lifelong Fleetwood Mac fan, immediately came up to him. The group’s iconic song “Dreams” was, after all, one of the first tunes Styles learned as a kid. It's also recently rocketed back into the collective consciousness via TikTok thanks to creator Dogg Face (real name Nathan Apocada), whose viral “Cranberry Dreams” video Fleetwood recreated to further Internet-breaking effect. “Two factions from completely different worlds came together,” continues Fleetwood of the fateful encounter. “Without my girls wanting to see One Direction, we–Stevie [Nicks] and I–never would have met Harry.”

Nor would the 74-year-old rocker have ended up starring in the campaign for Pleasing’s second drop, Shroom Bloom (out March 15th), which figuratively riffs on the theme of magic mushrooms with its groovy product offerings. It features face and nail products, like the Acid Drops Lucid Overnight face serum, hand and nail balm, and four new polish shades, plus psychedelic limited-edition apparel meant to supply, as Styles puts it, “an intoxicating escape-evoking curiosity.” With his distinctive sharp bohemian style, Fleetwood, a self-proclaimed hat enthusiast (“Hats are poetic, romantic; they provide generous amounts of theatrics for an old drama queen like myself,” he once wrote) with a predilection for tailor-made suits and jeans, brings much swagger to the campaign shot at his home in Maui, Hawaii—complete with a cameo from his pet pig, Tilly.

“Pleasing is this experience of, ‘Why not?’ or ‘I’ve never thought of that’—and that’s why I’m part of it,” explains Fleetwood, who views the brand as an empowering tool for self-discovery and self-expression. “It says, here’s something, either literally or figuratively, to hold your hand while we’re all on this journey. That’s what it means to me.” Along with a set of theatrical ensembles, Fleetwood sports an array of colorful manicures in the campaign. Think: a purple top hat paired with matching tiny shades, zebra print loungewear, and stacks of chunky metallic rings with teal digits; or a salmon silk vest layered over a mushroom Pleasing T-shirt and indigo trousers, topped off with glossy cherry red nails.

Ahead of his Pleasing debut, Vogue caught up with Fleetwood, speaking over the phone from his other Hawaiian home on the island of Moloka‘i. From the way he waxes eloquent about Styles and his impactful Pleasing mission, and the likeness he draws between the counterculture of the ’60s and today’s Gen Z-fueled Youthquake, it’s no wonder that he and Styles are kindred spirits.

Pleasing’s New Campaign Star Mick Fleetwood on the Magic of Harry Styles and Joy of Wearing Nail Polish

[full article under the cut]

“Pleasing is this experience of, ‘Why not?’ or ‘I’ve never thought of that’—and that’s why I’m part of it,” explains Fleetwood, who views the brand as an empowering tool for self-discovery and self-expression. “It says, here’s something, either literally or figuratively, to hold your hand while we’re all on this journey. That’s what it means to me.” Along with a set of theatrical ensembles, Fleetwood sports an array of colorful manicures in the campaign. Think: a purple top hat paired with matching tiny shades, a custom zebra print suit by S.S. Daley, and stacks of chunky metallic rings with teal digits; or a salmon silk vest layered over a mushroom Pleasing T-shirt and indigo trousers, topped off with glossy cherry red nails.

I’d love to hear about how you first connected with Harry?

The magical mystery tour started probably eight years ago. I took my daughters, Ruby and Tessa, who were 12, to see one of the last One Direction shows at the Rose Bowl. Very generously, their organization made it possible for us to go backstage for one of those meet and greets. If you’re a kid around your parents, you want mom and dad to disappear. But what happened was immediately Harry and the band started hovering around me while I’m trying to hide and get out of the way and be the dad that wasn’t there. [Laughs] Eventually, the girls realized Dad was actually causing a bit of a commotion. Anyways, that’s when Harry and I first met. We really connected because it turned out Harry had been brought up around Fleetwood Mac’s music when he was a child. And so on and off for years we’ve had this passing in the night relationship, which has included him doing Fleetwood Mac songs and doing countless little and big things with Stevie.

Stevie Nicks once said Harry was like the “love child” between you two? Why do you think she puts it that way?

Stevie has a great sense of humor! The fact is Stevie and I have been in a band for, well, 50 years really and she’s an incredibly close friend of mine. She’s an adventurer! She is also the godmother of Ruby and Tessa. I think Harry and Stevie first met at a show or something. He knew it was around her birthday and he walks into her dressing room with her favorite cake. I thought, “How cool is that?!” It wasn’t arranged by someone else, he had it in a little box with him. That’s who he is.

What do you love about him as a person and musician, particularly within today’s landscape?

When I came back from meeting him that day, we had a connection that was driven by music. That became the magical part of it, which continues today. As a person, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful right from the beginning. Having come from such a tidal wave of attention, and to still remain that normal…I really gravitated towards his lack of ego. Coming from the band he was in was probably a real challenge for him, for anybody, and I could identify–not with the same thing, no one could imagine what they went through. It was literally like being in the Beatles.

Surely, though, you can relate with Fleetwood Mac, especially when things exploded with Rumours?

One of the earliest conversations that Harry and I had, and one that continues today, is he looks at a band, entity, or a person, and think “What allowed that to keep going? What allowed it not to lose the plot, even with challenges?” That, as you know, is Fleetwood Mac’s story. He identified with that and thought, “If that’s possible, then I can hold on to what I feel is true and what my next step will be not only as a musician, but very, very much as a person.” And that’s what I think is magical and meaningful about Harry Styles.

What was it like shooting the Pleasing campaign, and what do you love about Maui as its location?

I loved every moment of it. It was a hoot! I was originally gonna do it in L.A., but because of COVID, the original photo session never happened. With that being the case, the next thing that I said is, “Well, I’m gonna be going home!” And they loved the idea of doing it here. It went incredibly well. Everyone was really on mark about what to do and how to do it. And I just remained open, pitching in and finding hats to put on. And I told Molly [Hawkins, Styles’s creative director], I said, “I'm so into doing this!” And the fact that it was somewhere that I really love...Everyone has their home and their own versions of where they like to be and why they like being there. Mine are selfishly explicit. Hawaii’s a very beautiful place and I'm happy to be here. So having that be connected to what we were doing selfishly was great.

Your colorful painted nails were a particular highlight. Have you worn nail polish before?

Oh, I loved that. I kept the varnish on for two weeks! Back in the day in London, I used to wear near polish and all sorts of stuff, and the attitude was, “so what?” It didn’t have anything to do with sexuality. It’s not about that. It's about having fun. If you look at half the tribes of ancient history, men and women all dress up in beautiful, colorful things. No one thinks anything one way or the other, which is the point. During the shoot I noticed some of the nail colors were really muted, like the light blue and the pinks and the greens. I said, “You might wanna pick one of the red colors!” About three or four days after the shoot was over. I still had the nail varnish on and thought, I can actually see where my hands are going. I’m not kidding you! It’s really useful, and I thought, “I’m not taking this stuff off!” When you pick a glass up, you actually connect with what you’re doing, which is what style is all about.

Speaking of style, you’ve always had it in spades. You seem to really have fun with fashion and never limit yourself. What’s your personal style philosophy?

Style, to me, is taking the trouble to present yourself. Sometimes presenting myself means I just walk out in a T-shirt and a pair of pumps. Conversely, it can also mean I've spent an hour thinking about what I'm gonna wear. That to me is very human. It gets back to what we've been talking about: Why not think about that you're presenting yourself? It's all about suggestions of style. It’s like with music, you go, “If I hadn't heard that music when I was 10, I might not have written that song when I was 20.” And that is all part of the story. What you see in the presentation of Pleasing is they're very, very simple, but demonstrative options. The way I think of it is: Why not? What makes someone think that something's weird?

Pleasing is part of a bigger movement towards genderless style and beauty—one that I’d argue, you and your peers helped pioneer in the late ’60s and ’70s. Have you noticed the evolution? What excites you about seeing a new generation feel free to experiment and express themselves more freely?

That’s a really astute observation. When I think about what happened in my generation, we had a sense of freedom, a sense of feeling that what had happened before didn't need to be repeated. Millions and millions of people in my world, our generation, saw that, felt that…But imagine the ‘60s right now with social media. One might be so bold as to say that slightly naive pipe dream of everyone not being judgmental might spread like wildfire. Being reminded of that premise, I think there's a huge amount of similarity now asking, “Why not? What gives you the right to close me down?” It’s not confrontational. It's just, why would you want to do that to anybody or anything? In our time, if someone went to a concert with blue paint all over their face, you go, “How cool is that?” You wouldn't say one thing or the other. That's how I've always felt. Don't be judgemental and have fun with it. That’s what Pleasing represents.

With Pleasing’s missions of bringing joy to beauty and going beyond the gender binary, what do you envision for its future?

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is just the beginning of a real lovely journey. It’s the first page of the book that Harry’s seeing can be written and he doesn’t need to know how it ends up. I think it’s really important to have these stages that are set that allow the creative process to go where it needs to go.

So let’s talk beauty as a form of self-care. Do you consider your personal regimen ritualistic?

It's fairly that way. When I’m out working, working, working, which, in truth I haven't been doing too much of in the last two or three years, like most other people, it's more focused. With COVID lockdown, the backdrop of it is that you need to have a form of discipline. A year into COVID, I realized that I should pull my socks up. Eventually, I went, “You need not give up on taking care of yourself. You need not give up with finding new avenues, new ways to have fun to present yourself.” That type of theater I think is really important. And so there is a routine and I'm much more aware of it. I don't think I’m the best one in the world at doing it, but it's become a regimen. I'm actually more disciplined about self-worth, self-presentation, and the theater of, “Why you do take care of yourself?” or “Why you do put a mirror up, not literally, but a mirror where you go, ‘I need that?’” The past two years have been a reminder of why I need to take time out.

I'm looking forward to more music! One of the things we started off right at the beginning of the interview is the fact that this conversation was happening because of the connection through music and something that both myself and certainly Harry’s world are completely connected to that allow all these lovely things to happen. And I think that's really the overview, the backdrop to this is music and being creative. It’s part of a really fun journey we’re on, and I can’t wait to see where it might go.

This interview has been condensed and edited for clarity.
