just a little simple sketch for @enigma731

i was so happy that ganondorf was a character in totk when it was announced but now i am just sad about it honestly, i get that the older games had the trio as a good kids VS evil old guy thing, but i sincerely hoped that how much botw revolutionized(?) about the zelda principle in terms of gameplay they would now have the chance to do so, at least a little bit, in totk with the story

and then, as much as i like his design, hes again just an already very old evil guy that appeared out of nowhere for all we know that needs to be stopped by some kids/really young people and all the crumbs of personality or well ... not even crumbs but pure idea of a backstory we have to interpret into it all from things like manner of speech, animation and design elements bc all he does is some evil monologing that doesnt even serve well for interpretation

like, he was already so old when we first see him, what did he do all his life?? like even if he only turned aggressive once rauru founded this version of hyrule he had to have lived idk 50 years before that, was he just a regular leader of his people before that?? was he just .. some dude?? all we actually know is ... old evil guy shows up and attacks the perfect and good kingdom (tm) dont we? maybe some vague, arbitrary you denied me *generic villain thing like power, rule etc* line but thats it?

(i dont mind having to read between the lines, it can be very fun, but it also depends on if you are reading between lines and theres something intentionally left there or if you are trying really hard to see something but theres nothing actually there for you to find; to be clear, i also like creating your own ideas around stuff, but when you get to know some people from basically birth to their prime time and then theres a guy thats just there to be an endboss and even now in modern games doesnt get anything beyond a neat design and fun bossfight its just ... so flat?sad? i love interpeting but i also wouldnt mind to see something more for once ..)

day 4: old cocole art dump because its about time i posted these 💀

essay in the tags youve been warned lmao

Part 8 of the Linked Universe Winged Au (LUWAU)! After an eternity we've finally got our boy, Warriors!

<<< Previous Next >>> Coming Soon!

Starting off strong with a silly little bird fact, did you know that Blue Jays aren't actually blue? Blue Jay feathers have a brown pigment and their iconic blue color is actually a trick of the light! This is due to a trick called, "light scattering" and it occurs when every color passes through the feathers EXCEPT blue. In other words, only the blue color is reflected so your eyes will see blue.

Anyways! This fact was completely irrelevant for why I chose a Blue Jay for Warriors but it was cool so I had to share it. Also because I really wanted Warriors to be some sort of blue bird and a quick Google search told me that Blue Jays aren't even technically blue and I just about died inside.

But in all seriousness, aside from color schemes, the main reason Warriors is a Blue Jay in this winged au is because they are well known for their incredible intelligence. Warriors is a smart man, and a military leader and strategist on top of that, so I believe that these traits really got to be showcased in the tendencies and habits of Blue Jays!

One example of these strategies is how Blue Jays are oftentimes an alarm system for other birds because they imitate the sound of hawks, thus protecting other birds from predators by giving them an early warning. Warriors is one of the oldest members of the chain and as such, he takes his job very seriously when it comes to ensuring their safety and will go to great measures to protect them. Because of this, in my au he is almost always the first to volunteer for night watches as he is the one most likely to spot danger before it spots them.

On top of their intelligence, Blue Jays are also well known for their complex social systems and tight family bonds. If Time is the Dad of the group and Twilight is the big brother, then Warriors is the Uncle. While he usually showcases how much he cares through his subtle strategies and protective nature, he also shows it by teasing the others and willingly being the butt of their jokes in return. Their laughter and happiness are just as important as their physical safety after all.

Anyways! That's got to be all for now folks! Thank you all again for your kind words! Our resident old man Time will be coming up next to wrap up the first drawings of the chain! After Time is done, there will be various content of other characters outside the chain along with more art of the chains dynamics and shenanigans! If you have any requests for who or what you would like to see next feel free to reach out! Thank you all again!

Last one for @bobadinweek's bingo - A Gravity Falls AU for my FREE square! I'll make a whole post to sum up all my contribution to this bingo a bit later (I made 10 artworks for this event in the past year omg!) - but I'm really pleased to end it with this one - just look at how cute they are as babies! There are some musing about this AU (and another variant) under the cut if you're interested ;)

I'll admit that I don't actually know much about Omega (aside from how she appeared in some fics and what I saw of her on this site), but I already felt bad enough for taking her bow and giving it to Boba (if it's up to Grogu he won't be able to keep hold of it for long, lol), so I felt it best to let her keep her hat and give her the journal. She seems more like the type to pour over it, while Boba just jumps headfirst into any and every kind of adventure. (Also imagine Boba with a pig-sized mini rancor. He'd lose a limb to it, but he would also LOVE it!)

I know that it's usually headcanon'd that Din and Boba are about the same-ish age (with usually Boba coming out a year-or-two older), but for the sake of fun here let Din hit puberty and his growth spurt a bit earlier and be just a bit older, and let Boba have his gay little awakening that summer.

(Just imagine that episode where Dipper makes multiple copies of himself (I know the roles don't track perfectly, shush!) to try and ask Wendy out for that dance/date at the party - and make it Boba trying his very awkward best [insert clone joke here], and, say, put an equally teenage Cobb in Robbie's place, except Cobb turns out to be cool, and now Boba is in all kinds of trouble, and surrounded by too many cute boys wow (but Din is still the cutest with his weird frog-eating baby troll). This idea's kept me entertained through the struggles of trying to keep track of my lineart and flat colour layers with the background here lol.)

ALTERNATIVELY I also entertained the idea of Boba and Fennec running a con mystery shack because they try to lie low for some crimes and not get caught (they are just the ideal type of chaotic-dumb-but-secretly-competent combo, who would play super dumb about any supernatural shenanigans going on while casually leaning against a rancor under a way too small sheet in the corner); and Din is the handy man helping out around the shack, trying to cover for his weird slightly green son who should not be allowed near frogs or you will see something you can never unsee after, and baby Rey, Finn and Poe could be the ones to get into all kinds of supernatural trouble (with Hux as Pacifica, and Kylo/Ben as Lil Gideon lol that would even work with Han and Boba having an archnemeses kind of situation going on). Plus Boba has an endless supply of lost competent twins so...

the disparity in kudos between a skk fic and a fic for literally any other bsd characters/ship :/

After an obscene amount of ordering, getting that ordere cancelled, ordering again, getting that package delivered to the wrong city, arguing with FedEx, arguing with Target, ordering AGAIN, and having a four week delay -

I finally got Danny Phantom A Glitch in Time!!

I’m not the best at reviewing things, but my most important thoughts are below the cut:

- I love when Danny discovers Dan (called Phantom, but he’s Dan) is loose, you can see the distress on his face in every panel. He’s not smiling, he’s pulling into himself, the stress lines are literally on his face.

- Vlad! Vlad! Vlad!

- Jazz’s magical girl transformation *chef’s kiss*

- Vlad is an unapologetic bitch, and he completely owns it.

- Dan’s design while he has Clockwork absorbed is FIRE! I love it!!

- Can I just say that I adore how much Danny CARES about everyone? He offers to help Dan, to give him a home, before they fight. He wants to give Dan a place to belong.

- Vlad’s redemption felt so natural and so right. He’s been through so much, he’s done everything in his power to get what he wants. And now he knows that, yeah, that’s not how it works. (But he has a child now, so I’m stoked for that arc) (Will Dani come back for the next issue? What will she think of Dan? I NEED sibling rivalry with those two)

- The Disasteroid is both canon and not canon now. Time travel fuckery for the win!

Was the months of fighting with various customer services worth it? 10000000% yes

Do I hope the next issue gets an in store release to I can just go grab one at Barnes & Noble? Please, god.
