Sitri's ears. That's it. That's the post.

they're pointy!!! aaaaaa

his good hearing can't just be because of him being a devil who has that sort of ability, like his ears very likely help with it too

i'm a bit sad that his sprite art doesn't make his ears look as long and pointy as his other arts tbh...

the siblings are on a road trip!!!!

ty @witchstormm for the little comic idea <33

Wiggly Sweater Vest 💚

1/5 Lords in Black sweater vests

so i just rewatched honey queen and in it, roman explains how linda is “the sweetest woman in hatchetfield” (the title that comes with winning the title of honey queen) because what she was willing to do in order to win (kill zoey, among other less than nice things) makes her taste the sweetest to nibbly.

now, in nerdy prudes must die, during the summoning, while blinky speaks to grace and tinky taunts pete, nibbly immediately looks to steph and says “stephanie, yum yum!” steph is nothing like linda of course, she’s not callous or selfish. but. she was, in the end, willing to kill pete to save the rest of the town. she would have done it with a heavy heart, but she would have done it nonetheless. so, is the reason nibbly expresses interest in steph above the others that she is capable of things the others aren’t? like linda, she’s willing to go to extreme lengths to achieve her goal (even though her goal is much more selfless than linda’s).

grace is certainly capable of doing crazy shit too but her deal is a whole separate issue of its own

ok lbh is sad n all but. what about zzl. my man dedicated his whole existence unquestionably to the first person that was a little nice to him in all fifteen or so years of his life, and like that's just his love language. just being around and vibing.

and if sqq gave him just a bit more than that he'd be so flabbergasted idk. like damn imagine being loved???touched???the snake part of him can do well without physical contact, but the human(heavenly demon) part of him craves it. oh to get a headpat from master shen.........he'd do anything for it. and yet he'd never ask for attention directly, he'd just be vibing around waiting patiently until master shen notices his suffering and offers his warms hands to help. he'd just be sooo happy

I'm in that fast lane

Utterly obsessed with @arcandoria's new pose pack ;_; also this was my first full set done with OTIS camera tools and hhhhhhh... I'm glad I gave it another go, that depth of field is *chef's kiss*

I need to practice using my new tablet so enjoy my dumb ideas (:

Okay so I recently, finally, watched Wish and I have some thoughts. Overall, not as bad as everyone makes it out to be, but still has a lot of fundamental story problems and I've got to get them off of my chest. I'll mostly be focused on Magnifico because I think his motivations and arc largely represent the problem with the overall theme.

Okay so my biggest problem with Magnifico is his motivation. His tragic backstory. How on earth does he go from losing his whole family to thinking, the only way he can prevent that from happening again is to grant wishes? The logic doesn't track. It almost makes sense in his creating a kingdom where he protects everyone and "doesn't even charge rent," but it does not make sense with his wish granting. Having a great need to be control to make sure he doesn't lose anyone ever again can be a compelling motivation for a villain, where we see lines crossed that don't justify the intent, but in the movie, he's too self-absorbed to seem to have any actual care for the people of Rosas.

I think if the motivation was changed to something like Magnifico had once been a bright-eyed, enthusiastic wish granter who blindly believed all wishes were good but learned the hard way that that wasn't true could have been a better fit for the overall goal of the movie. Imagine that he granted a wish for a wicked person who used that wish to hurt others, or if Magnifico granted a wish but that wish ended up ruining the person's life because what they wanted wasn't what they needed (i.e. Remember The Princess and the Frog? Dig a little deeper) and that person could have went after Magnifico and blamed him for their troubles (harkening back to We Don't Talk about Bruno). This would be an understandable tragic backstory for Magnifico, and better explain why he's so careful about the wishes he grants. And, perhaps the reason he keeps the wishes he doesn't want to grant is to keep the people in his kingdom docile. No one will be angry with him for not granting their wishes if he makes them forget them and lose that drive and motivation, which makes more sense than the unexplained hording them like he does in the movie? Why does he keep them in the movie other than admiring the wishes? It doesn't make sense to me.

This would give Asha more of a reason to oppose him, if it's shown how his desire to not get hurt or to inadvertently cause hurt turned into a paranoia where he drains people of wishes to fly or play music that inspires others. And, as a side note, we need to see more of how Rosas is a kingdom of people who lack drive and motivation, where only those younger than 18 have that special part of them that inspires them to chase after a dream (something that Astor Rhymemaster touched on). Because that's the point of wishes, right? That's the point of the entire Disney canon. A dream is a wish your heart makes. That star can only get you so far, it takes hard work and determination. It's wanting something better in life, it's dreaming of leaving behind all you know to chase after a tangible light. It's finding a new dream, it's finding a new wish as you grow and learn about yourself and the world.

I don't think the movie Wish understood what makes wishes so important in Disney stories. You know what wishes do? They ignite change. It's not about getting what you want, it's about finding the courage to chase after something better. Ariel wants to be where the people are, but really she wants to be somewhere where others are willing to understand her and in the end, she finds that and makes amends with her father, who finally is willing to see her for who she is. Rapunzel wants to see the lights, and that desire pushes her to leave a tower she's been trapped in her whole life, learning that the world is not as cruel and cold as her abusive mother told her. Cinderella wants to go to the ball, to dance with people who treat her as a person and not a servant of cinders and ash. That wish is granted by a fairy godmother and gives her a hope that is worth fighting for, a hope that helps her reclaim what is rightfully hers; a glass slipper that fits only her and the love that comes with it.

Wishes inspire change. The movie should have been about that. Magnifico could have been right, that some wishes inspire negative change that can drag down multiple people. The kingdom of Rosas could have been so placid because change is scary. Maybe Magnifico could have convinced people, after taking their wish, that it wasn't worth it. Maybe the wish ceremonies could have changed so it wasn't portrayed as some sort of lottery everyone looks forward to, but Magnifico would grant wishes on the spot if he decided they were good and worthwhile, and he would lock away the wishes that would cause trouble and tribulations. 18 year olds could be enthusiastic to give him their wishes, thinking they were surely good and worth granting, only to forget their wish and be told that their wish would have only brought about their unhappiness, this would have justified a more solemn tone in the kingdom, setting up a world where people are mostly downtrodden, thinking their wishes are bad and pointless and they're better off without them. Imagine Cinderella or Rapunzel being told their wishes weren't good, reinforcing all the things their abusive families tell them, taking away that hope and courage to find something better for themselves.

Here's where the true conflict could come in. Asha could be onto this from the beginning, and her opening song could have been about this concern that the people who didn't get their wishes granted aren't willing to try at all. (Because, after all, why doesn't Sabino play music at all? Having that taken from him would take so much joy and creative expression from his life!) But why does Asha know something is amiss?

Simon.

Imagine that Magnifico has a strict rule not to ever share your wish with another person because then it wouldn't come true. It makes sense with our own superstitions, and then makes it so that no one knows anyone else's wishes. Maybe your best friend changes so drastically after giving up their wish, but you believe, like everyone else, that their wish would have only caused suffering. What can you do about it? Well what if Simon told Asha about his wish? What if Asha knew his wish wasn't dangerous and couldn't imagine a way that it could go wrong? That would give her a reason to doubt Magnifico and put more emphasis on how Simon has lost his drive like all the other adults in the kingdom. And it can also emphasize in the end that sharing your wishes and dreams with others can be a powerful thing. Just the act of sharing your dreams can inspire others to go after their own, and they can give you the encouragement to chase your wish too. Wishes inspire change, love gives you the courage to make it happen.

Imagine if the star boy used to be a human, who wished to help others and lost his humanity to do it. Imagine his wish confirms Magnifico's belief, that wishes cause suffering because star boy lost his tether to earth and is separated from the people he loves. Imagine how he foils Asha who also wants to grant everyone's wishes. Imagine him ensuring she doesn't make the same mistake he did while she gives him a reason to change again, to anchor himself to humanity again because he loves her enough not to leave for forever.

Imagine the movie confirming that, yes, change is scary. Chasing your dreams won't always make things better. You might fail more than you succeed and some wishes cannot coincide with each other, leading to grief and strife. But some wishes are worth it. Sometimes, chasing after something better and failing is worth leaving a worse situation. Sometimes taking that chance is worth it, and, like in all fairy tales, if you are kind and generous and act with love, that will make all the difference in the end.

Also, I know everyone wished for a Magnifico and Amaya evil power couple, but imagine if Magnifico was truly in love with Amaya, as he is in the movie, but that love is eventually his undoing. Like Amaya leaps in front of Asha, and Magnifico stops or redirects his attack because she's the one thing he loves more than himself and that is the weakness that Asha and co can take advantage of. Imagine Amaya keeping Magnifico in the mirror and he gets to dote on her from his imprisonment for forever. I'm just saying. At least 30 sickos like me would be into that. Imagine the depth it would give to the themes of love and change and wishing and how acts of love make all the difference.

Alright, I'll get off my soap box. I just really wish Wish could have been stronger because these fairy tales Disney is famous for matter. They really do. But the movie feels too stale and shallow and too much of a cash grab that knows the outline of a disney musical, but is unable to understand the heart of why they work.

✨He’s so damn pretty…✨

let's settle this once and for all

WOE. LORDS IN BLACK FANDRAGONS BE UPON YE

some notes too:

They're based on the dolls! I'm thinking about making separate scrys for the human versions so I can give em outfits but thats a project for later

Pokey's scry is veryyy tentative currently. I wanted to make them all ancient breeds but none of them were giving me Pokey vibes yknow? When the next couple come out maybe I'll switch it up

Blinky's is also pretty tenative just bc I'm not super satisfied with it? Idk why, it might get changed later

These are also just scrys for now bc I already have like 5 billion FR projects in progress rn lmao

I was bored waiting for my phone to charge last night. So, on my iPad, I decided to draw the Lords in Black. Here they are:

Please be nice. I'm not much of an artist. I just wanted to share this because I hope you guys like them

Biting Katniss headcanons? 😅 Does Peeta ever bite back?

i think @rosegardeninwinter said it best when she said that katniss gives the nips and the nibbles (and yes, peeta does love it - even if he is a lil confused at first).

like i said before, its something i can see her doing when she’s overwhelmed and doesn’t know how to handle all the love that she’s feeling and so she just has a little bite. she’ll go for whatever she can reach, but her most common spots are probably his shoulders and biceps (why, dear anon? because they’re the meatiest). but she’s also partial to nipping his ear or his fingers, not because she’s overwhelmed with love - those kind are just because she’s a menace.

like. he’s trying a new recipe and offers for her to try, scooping some up on his finger to let her taste. what is she supposed to do? not bite his finger? come on now lets get real. you’d think he would learn his lesson but he absolutely does NOT.

and of course he picks up on her bad behavior too. and he catches on quickly, too. once he gets over the initial shock that she just bit him, he is absolutely going to get his own back. they make a feral pair. (but he’s always much gentler than her).

We tried to let the cats out but they were too scared of my loud roommates + the dog and my roommate doesn't understand her dog jumps and barks at the little cats who are new in his territory and is doing the stupid dog voice "bUT MOMMY I JUST NEED THE CATS TO LOVE ME" U do not even understand the basics of your own creatures behavior ... !!!!! He is not a dumbed down loving human! H3s a dog! Animals r animals so are my cats they are both wary of each other ! Give them space !!!
