r76 is an annoying ship cause everything you see about them pretty much makes them two entirely different characters that happen to share their names. idk i'd like to see more content of them being best friends instead of smooching
This is gonna sound really harsh, but I think the main problem is that these two - like most of especially the original ow characters - are very bare bones and shallow as characters. And that the stuff people then project onto them to fill them out, kinda tends towards just being fandom cliches
And that’s very fair, it’s a hobby and a community where established tropes and traits are celebrated but it also leads to a lot of characterisation that isn’t that interesting or has that much to do with the characters as they actually exist. You know, the extremely classic ‘the characterisation is mostly there to justify putting these names into this “incorrect quote”’-situation
And to be very clear, heaven knows I do a version of this too. I think the versions of these characters that I write are interesting, but they’re also very far removed from what we see in the game and probably influenced by general fandom values and cliches in more ways than I’m aware - and most definitely really dull or wrong or horrifically pretentious or the symptom of a deep misunderstanding of the character to like a lot of people
(click for higher quality!) draconified link concept ive been chipping away at this past week ..... here's my funny little compendium concept for him:
"A heroic spirit has taken the form of this bestial dragon. Unlike it's kin, this creature exhibits an extremely aggressive disposition. It appears highly territorial, and will relentlessly chase down those who disturb its skywide patrols - of which it seems to be endlessly searching for either a long-time vassal or foe. Unfortunately, it seems the spirit within has long since forgotten exactly who it was looking for…"
I think the person on here who makes Floyd x Creek art is onto something. Not because I think they'd make a good couple or even like them together but because I feel like Floyd would see Creek and go I can fix him. I don't ship them because I don't ship in general if that makes sense but I think it's something that Would happen.
ive been gone for like 6 months forgive me gang 😍 i forgot posting art on social media was a thing
i hope this doesnt come across as those weird twink x buff fanarts, i just find it infuriating that WYLL (renowned monster hunter, travels frequently) has the same body shape as ASTARION (vampire spawn isolated in a crypt for 200 years thats also been starved frequently) in game
I love three houses discourse because I'm pretty sure everyone just picks their route based on which house leader they're the most gay for and then tries to defend their pick by pointing out the other sides's war crimes via twitter memes. Reader, all four of them do substantial quantities of war crimes. So many. We're just here because the woman with Issues and a big fuck-off axe said so, and then we gotta justify everything she did in the name of dismantling the class system. I mean, I'm here for that, but you could also try justifying Charm Man uses poison and perfidy to try to stop racism, A Sad Little Meow Meow gives no quarter instead of doing therapy, or the Thicc Pope tries to bring back her mom via human experimentation, depending on your tastes
As promised, below the "Keep Reading" cut is a video of III playing the first minute-ish of Spillways by Ghost. You will see unpeeled hands and arms, an ambiguous blue tie dye death metal tshirt, the scythe necklace, the most busted Ibanez guitar you've ever seen, pre-red-dye hair, and like 3 pixels of neck. You will not see jaw, chin, cheeks, lips, nose, eyes, forehead, etc.
Ghost- Spillways (Guitar Playthru by III)
So I spent nearly 2 hours both editing this and re-watching to make sure you couldn't see III's face but could still see him actually playing the guitar (which is missing it's E string btw). I hope it was worth it 🖤
